Lesson 1. Use the power of your subconscious to your advantage.
We remember the first time we did something new and our learning process. We focused with our entire mind and paid attention to the entire process of it. This is all executed with the help of the conscious mind. Once we start doing these things regularly, our subconscious mind takes over. These activities become natural, almost like an automatic task. For example, riding a bike. Learning how to ride a bike takes focus and patience. However, once we start doing this regularly, this becomes second nature.

His subjects then act this part out with utmost sincerity. This proves that one’s subconscious mind simply accepts whatever the conscious mind believes is true.

Surprisingly, this approach to illness often worked. However, it was not the work of God. It was the work of the subconscious mind, convincing the body that there wasn’t an illness present. We can use our imagination to suggest what we want. If the positive thought process is repeated enough, your mind will manipulate your behavior towards making those thoughts a reality.
This process can be explained by the theory that positive thoughts can give
