How to Leverage the Departments of Your Mind to Create and Achieve EVERYTHING You Want!

By Shelby Colinge

The functional operations of the mind are divided into nine departments, something on the order of a well-organized business. Some of these departments function automatically, without direction by you, while other departments are under the control of you at all times.

1. The faculty of will — Your will is the ‘big boss’ of all the other departments of the mind. This is the starting point where you begin to exercise your perogative and exclusive control over your thoughts.
2. The faculty of reason — Your reason is the ‘presiding judge’ of the mind. When directed or permitted to do so, it will pass judgment on all ideas, aims, desires, purpose and circumstances that you bring to its attention. One of the major weaknesses of all so-called thinking is the tendency of individuals to allow their will to be set aside by their emotions.
3. The faculty of emotions — Here is the starting place of a major portion of all the actions of the mind. People typically make decisions that harmonize with their ‘feelings’ and engage in activities which have not been previewed by the faculties of Will and Reason.
4. The faculty of imagination — This faculty is the architect of man’s soul through which he may pattern his own earthly destiny to suit himself and change or modify that pattern as often as he pleases. The Imagination is a great institution whose potentialities are practically unlimited, but require constant supervision by the faculties of Reason and Will.
5. The faculty of conscience — This is the faculty that gives moral guidance to the individual. The individual who has the full support of his Conscience in connection with all his desires, aims and purpose, has direct access to the necessary Faith to enable him to accomplish whatever he may set his heart and mind upon.
6. The five physical senses — The five senses — sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch — are the physical ‘arms’ of the brain through which it contacts the external world and acquires information. Under any sort of highly emotional activity, the senses often become confused and highly undependable, as in the case of sudden fright or intense anger.
7. The faculty of memory — This is the ‘filing cabinet’ of the brain wherein is stored all the thought impulses, all conscious experiences, and all sensations which reach the brain through the five senses. The memory is also very undependable, as most of us can testify.
8. The ‘Sixth Sense’ — This is the broadcasting and the receiving station of the mind through which one automatically sends and receives vibrations of thought, and perhaps still other higher vibrations. This is the medium of communication between the individual and the unseen guides that are believed to be available and at your service.
9. The subconscious mind — This is the ‘switchboard’ through which the conscious mind may communicate with Infinite Intelligence. The subconscious mind acts upon any idea, plan or purpose which reaches it and it makes no attempt to distinguish the difference between positive and negative, right or wrong influences. It does, however, respond more quickly and effectively to influences which have been highly emotionalized with such emotions as fear, anger, belief and faith.

It is critical for your success that you begin to take control of this UNBELIEVABLE POWER CENTER that you have.

When you begin to use these nine faculties, the results you begin to experience will AMAZE you. You have at your disposal more knowledge and more potential for making ABUNDANT MONEY than you’ve ever dreamed possible.
