Napoleon Hill in his ‘Think and Grow Rich’ book on page 180 says and I quote “There is plenty of evidence to support the belief that the subconscious mind is the connecting link between the finite mind of man and infinite intelligence. It is the intermediary through which one may draw upon the forces of infinite intelligence at will. It, alone, contains the secret process by which mental impulses are modified and changed into their spiritual equivalent. It, alone, is the medium through which prayer may be transmitted to the source capable of answering prayer”
Call it a hunch, call it intuition call it a feeling but it all narrows down to ones conscience or sixth sense. Every being has a conscience right from conception, and with this even without any form of schooling, someone is able to differentiate between right or wrong. Conscience as Von Gogh puts it is a man’s compass in life.
Some people tend to suppress that still little voice especially when they know the decisions they are about to make is wrong, or that the deeds they are about to indulge in is wrong, but even with high degrees of suppression, it will still be there wishing that you listened.
Most problems that we go through as humans are problems whose solutions we have with us, just as Napoleon says in the above quote, if only we gave our subconscious mind the right and enough stimulations and proper problems to work on and ‘trust’ it enough then it can give us the proper solution to that problem but seldom do we do this!
If only we can listen to our conscience then we would know when to walk away from abusive and unfulfilling relationships, we would know how to read the writings on the wall and act accordingly, we would know how to deal with fellow human beings and treat them as equals but most importantly, we would know how to differentiate between right and wrong but alas! We don’t listen to our conscience: we either ignore it completely or we listen but don’t take the offered precautions because God forbid, human beings are the only animals that sense danger and still move towards it.
“Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune”
Carl Jung
