There are three departments of the mind, the _subconscious, conscious and superconscious_. The subconscious, is simply power, without direction. It is like steam or electricity, and it does what it is directed to do; it has no power of induction. Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutest detail. For example: a woman I know, when a child, always “made believe” she was a widow. She “dressed up” in black clothes and wore a long black veil, and people thought she was very clever and amusing. She grew up and married a man with whom she was deeply in love. In a short time he died and she wore black and a sweeping veil for many years. The picture of herself as a widow was impressed upon the subconscious mind, and in due time worked itself out, regardless of the havoc created. The conscious mind has been called mortal or carnal mind. It is the human mind and sees life as it _appears to be_. It sees death, disaster, sickness, poverty and limitation of every kind, and it impresses the subconscious. The _superconscious_ mind is the God Mind within each man, and is the realm of perfect ideas. In it, is the “_perfect pattern_” spoken of by Plato, _The Divine Design_; for there is a _Divine Design_ for each person. “_There is a place that you are to fill and no one else can fill, something you are to do, which no one else can do._” There is a perfect picture of this in the _superconscious mind_. It usually flashes across the conscious as an unattainable ideal—“something too good to be true.” In reality it is man’s true destiny (or destination) flashed to him from the Infinite Intelligence which is _within himself_. Many people, however, are in ignorance of their true destinies and are striving for things and situations which do not belong to them, and would only bring failure and dissatisfaction if attained. For example: A woman came to me and asked me to “speak the word” that she would marry a certain man with whom she was very much in love. (She called him A. B.) I replied that this would be a violation of spiritual law, but that I would speak the word for the right man, the “divine selection,” the man who belonged to her by divine right. I added, “If A. B. is the right man you can’t lose him, and if he isn’t, you will receive his equivalent.” She saw A. B. frequently but no headway was made in their friendship. One evening she called, and said, “Do you know, for the last week, A. B. hasn’t seemed so wonderful to me.” I replied, “Maybe he is not the divine selection—another man may be the right one.” Soon after that, she met another man who fell in love with her at once, and who said she was his ideal. In fact, he said all the things that she had always wished A. B. would say to her. She remarked, “It was quite uncanny.” She soon returned his love, and lost all interest in A. B.
