The Affirmation Doctor
By Dr. Anne Marie Evers
December 2008
Today there is a great deal said about creating our lives as we wish them to be by using the power of our minds. The processes of the human mind constitute one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the Universe, yet most of us take our minds very much for granted. We think, act, and live, rarely stopping to think about how the mind works or how we control it. Affirmations (whereby we repeatedly state our desires so that they become imprinted upon the subconscious mind) represent the key to unlocking the secret door to mind-power. Learn how to use this unlimited, inexhaustible power to create your heart's desires.
To do this requires consciousness-a state of mindful awareness, alertness, and aliveness in the present moment. You become what you are in life from what you are in consciousness. To be conscious is to think and to think is to give form to thought. With a positive focus, you attract good things and happy experiences to you. When you lower your consciousness, you give away your power and attract thoughts, situations, events, and people that reinforce this lack of power.
Dear Dr. Evers,
First of all, I thoroughly enjoy your wonderful information that you so graciously share via your column in this magazine. I feel that you are writing 'just for me' and saying exactly what I need to hear at that particular time.
I have read, and people tell me, that I create my own reality, so WHY am I creating unhappiness for myself? Is the mind really that powerful that it can and does create our reality? I have always been very interested in the study of the mind and how it works. I have been accused of being too inquisitive. Is there a way I can program my mind for more money?
Also, I have heard we have TWO minds and I find this hard to believe. I would appreciate any light that you could shed on this and I gratefully wait for your reply in your column.

Dear Doris:
Thank you for your email and I am very proud of you that you are searching for information on topics that interest you. I, too, have always been intrigued by the mind and how it works. And to answer your first question-Yes, I do believe that we create our lives as the world within creates the world without. Everything you find in your world without was first created in your world within. Ask yourself, "Just what am I creating in my life at this time? Am I happy with situations and things in my life, or do I need to uncreate the negative ones and begin creating positive, new and happy experiences and to release any negative blockages that are hindering me?"
And, Doris, I do believe that the first step is to become aware of what you are creating, thinking, saying and doing. Do some 'Thought Watching' and find out just where your thoughts are residing. Are your thoughts-The same as yesterday, Negative or Positive? You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself. I certainly was when I did this exercise. You and only YOU can make the changes you desire.
As for your 2nd question, yes you can program your mind for receiving more money.
MASTER AFFIRMATION FOR ADDITIONAL MONIES
(Your order to The Universe)
"I, Doris_______ deserve and now receive in excess of $__________ *extra money (net or gross-monthly or yearly). I use this money for my desires and (here state whatever you wish). I am safe, healthy, happy and prosperous to the good of all parties concerned.
Thank you, thank you, thank you."
I fully accept
Signed _______________________ Dated_________________
(Now you have made a firm and binding contract with your Higher Self, God/Creator, Universal Mind or whomever you believe in.)
*It is important to say extra as you are already earning a certain amount of money. Also be certain to specify net or gross and monthly or yearly. When you say 'in excess, of' you are not limiting the flow of money and could receive more, much more.
Your 3rd question-I believe that we all have ONE mind with two distinct yet interrelated functional characteristics.
~ One is the conscious, objective, outward, or waking state.
~ The other is the subconscious, subjective, inward, or sleeping state.
The Conscious Mind - External
The conscious mind is your objective mind and deals largely with the external world. This part of the mind has the power to reason and to decide what is right or wrong. It is the source of all thoughts, concepts, and ideas. The conscious mind's chief powers are reason, judgment, logic, form, calculation, and moral sense. The conscious mind also sets in motion the creative power of the subconscious mind.
The conscious mind is the one and only force to which the subconscious mind responds. It tells the subconscious mind what is required-which is one of its most important functions. The subconscious mind controls the conditions and experiences of your life. Through your conscious mind, you can clearly and specifically tell your subconscious mind what is desired.
For example, when you state that you are broke or cannot afford a certain item or thing, you are instructing your subconscious mind to prepare conditions in your life to manifest being broke or not being able to afford what you wish to purchase. And, through The Law of Attraction, which states that "Like attracts like; what you think about you bring about; what you are seeking is seeking you"-you attract more of the same to you. The subconscious mind, (Humble Servant)?always willing to oblige? immediately goes to work to create that condition in your life.
You are made up of billions and billions of beliefs about your body, your material worth, God, sin, life, after death, etc. You have taken on some of these beliefs from others and created some yourself, accepting them as the truth. Removing old, negative beliefs and replacing them with positive ones is an essential part of creating what you want in life.
The Subconscious Mind - Internal
Your subconscious mind is like a highly sophisticated computer. When you were born, it began to record every feeling, action, thought, or word in your world. You accepted some information from your parents, teachers, peers, and others-all of whom had their own weaknesses and negative patterns.
Your subconscious mind takes in the exact details of every situation. Over the years it accumulates an astronomical amount of data. It has a perfect memory and stores everything in the present moment. Even though one event in your life may have taken place on July 28, 1982, and another on February 8, 2008, to your computer (subconscious mind) it is all happening now. Your subconscious mind does not differentiate between a real and an imagined event.
Your subconscious mind knows more about you than anyone. It can change its viewpoints, often retaining or reverting back to childhood ideas, concepts, and beliefs. It stores your own interpretation of reality. If something very important happened to you at age 14, for example, your subconscious mind may continue to see it from that 14-year-old perspective.
Your subconscious mind represents the sleeping or subjective state. It is dependent on the information received from the conscious mind and is not normally in direct contact with the outside world. One of its roles is to handle all involuntary functions of the body, such as heartbeat, breathing, circulation, blood flow, and digestion without any instruction from anyone.
This mind is beyond space and time, with many powers, including inspiration, imagination, organization, intuition, emotion, certitude, deduction, suggestion, and memory. It is a part of the Universal mind, which is also timeless, ageless, and boundless.
How I Witnessed the Power of the Subconscious Mind
When I was a child, it became quite clear to me how thoughts and the power of the mind affect our lives. At a dinner party one evening, my Aunt Bea served a delicious cream dessert. Everyone raved about it and most of the guests requested a second helping. Four hours later, someone asked Aunt Bea for the recipe. She started to name the ingredients and, when she came to cream cheese, my cousin Alice gasped, put her hand over her mouth, ran to the bathroom, and vomited.
It turned out that Alice was extremely allergic to cream cheese! I could not understand her reaction and asked my mother why it took Alice so long to get sick. Nor could I understand why she became so violently ill when she heard those two harmless words, cream cheese. My mother said, "It has something to do with thoughts and her mind, dear. Don't worry. She will be okay." The incident stuck in my memory and clearly demonstrated to me the tremendous creative power of the mind.
Such is the power of the subconscious mind. This is your magnificent tool to make your dreams come true-- And all you need do is become aware of it, learn how to use this power and then use it positively to reap the wonderful results.
Please keep in touch Doris and let me know how you are instructing your subconscious mind (Your Magic Genie) and the wondrous results that occur. Remember that Affirmations When Properly Done Always Work!
