Believing and Knowing
The Magic Twins
How would you like to be a magician? I don't mean a simple pull-the-rabbit-out-of-the-hat type magician. I mean a worthy-of-going-down-in recorded history magician.
How would you like to say to yourself, "We need a new house, because my family has grown so much we're beginning to develop fins from living like sardines," and with a certain working of your magic and no luck involved, you would have it?
The only things you will need in your magician's kit are the MAGIC TWINS - BELIEVING AND KNOWING. These MAGIC TWINS are the keys of mind that cause those golden, magical doors to the abundance of the Universe to open wide!
You may feel that to be a pretty broad statement. Wee it is - but it is not a false or unreachable one.
All right, you say - put your money where your pen is. Agreed! So let's begin!
The First Step - Believing
There are two major divisions of this great mind of ours that we use to establish the Believing and Knowing quality in ourselves.
Before we can thoroughly understand and utilize the Magic of Knowing, we must work with and establish Believing.
The part of our mind that we use for Believing is the Conscious Mind. This mind is our outward expression, our antenna, so to speak, with which we observe, involved ourselves and react to external situations and environment.
We extend this mind antenna from the time we are born; seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling, hearing all that goes on around us. Through this method we formulate ideas, opinions and most significantly, desires.
We assimilate the results of all the kinds of activity that touch our lives. Through this observance and assimilation we build our houses of belief.
As children we observe our parents walking and talking, encouraging us to do the same. This stimulates a desire, and as we begin to gain coordination and strength in our bodies, our desire increases, and soon we achieve the belief that we too can walk and talk. At this point the child takes its first independent step, forms its first words.
