MIND

The greatest discovery of all time is the discovery of mind.
Since this discovery, it has become clear that mind is all that we are. It is what gives us our reality and this reality is based on our consciousness, i.e. our ability to think.
Much is known about mind in how it works and how we may use it positively to our benefit. But no one, not even the greatest thinkers know what mind is.
Science today tells us that the universe is permeated by a Creative Intelligence that is responsible for the creation of all matter.
They also tell us that this Creative Intelligence is Conscious and is in a state of flux. It is everywhere present, all knowing and all powerful.
It is around us; It is in us and we are a part of It
This Creative Power is what some call Mind while others call It God. Others call it the Over- Soul, while some call it Eternal Spirit and still others call It Causation.It is also referred to as First Cause.
It is today believed that we are a part of this Mind, but in individualized form. Though individualized mind we are, but we are not individual minds. This, strangely as it may appear, is so in that our mind works in tandem with this Universal Mind.
The Universal Mind is Infinite in that it is beyond our grasp and permeate the entire universe. This Mind is a state of consciousness.
Though the state of  consciousness is described by the application of two names: the objective or conscious and the subjective or subconscious, there are not two minds but one.
In the human side of mind, we think of the conscious state as our conscious use of the mind- hence objective.
The objective mind is responsible for analyzing and verifying our thoughts. It is upon this verification and confirmation of thought by our objective thought that the thought is passed on to the subjective mind, which has no volition and acts upon whatever it is passed on to by the conscious mind.
The subjective mind is believed to be the mental law of our being as well as the creative factor within us.
Subjective mind and its mode of action works out the will and purpose of our conscious thoughts. It is also believed that our subjective mind does not work independently but that it is a part of the Universal Subjective Mind, which is the seat of all mental law and action, and is the Servant of the Eternal Spirit.
This understanding leads us to the believe that man has at his disposal, through this subjective mind, unilinited power to achieve anything that he sets his mind upon. This realization fits in very well with the teaching of the Great Master who stated that if we have faith that of a mustard seed, we may command a mountain to move yonder and go to the sea.
This is so because our subjective mind is one with the Whole on the Subjective side of Life. Therefore, man's thought, falling into his subjective mind, merges with the Universal Subjective Mind, and becomes the law of his life. through the one great law of life..
In this regard, we may then come to the vital conclusion that there is not two subjective minds in the universe, including our subjective mind, but there is one Subjective Mind, and that what we really call our subjective mind is really the use we are making of the One Law. The application of this Subjective Mind in the achievement of the objects of our thought is found in the Masters command to all those that He healed, wherefore He said to them,"According to thy faith..."
It is impossible to plumb the depths of the individual mind, but one thing is clear, there is one mental law in the universe, and where we use it, it becomes our law because we have individualized it.
