Aligning the subconscious with the conscious
Last week, I wrote about a quote from Neville Goddard that caught my attention:
“The subconscious is what a man is. The conscious is what a man knows.”
If you reflect on your everyday life, you’ll realize how true this is.
Think about why you do the things you do throughout the day. You have certain impulses that push you into action. Even actions we consider very rational and logical are often driven by unconscious urges.
Our behavior is mostly influenced by our unconscious rather than our conscious mind.
The struggle between your subconscious and conscious (we might even say it’s a struggle between several subconscious drives) is evident in simple events in your life.
However you want to frame it, this is visible from simple events in your life. You might want to lose weight but find yourself reaching for junk food. You might desire a romantic relationship, yet feel anxious just talking to potential partners. You might aim to exercise more, but find laziness holding you back. And so on.
All these conflicts arise from the battle within ourselves between the conscious and the subconscious.
**Ultimately, what we desire is harmony between the subconscious and the conscious.**
The challenge lies in understanding our subconscious mind and how it communicates with us. Often, we only sense its effects, making it difficult to enact change.
Your subconscious can be reshaped once you comprehend it, especially its underlying motivations and impulses.
Without this understanding, you’re bound to face ongoing conflict.
At Charisma School, we approach this by raising awareness of our energy. By deeply connecting with our energy and body, we uncover its hidden motivations. Instead of relying solely on intellect and conscious thought, we seek to unite and synchronize the conscious with the unconscious through energy.

You are your subconscious
Here’s an interesting quote from Neville Goddard:
“Consciousness includes a subconscious as well as a conscious part. The infinitely greater part of consciousness lies below the sphere of objective consciousness. The subconscious is the most important part of consciousness. It is the cause of voluntary action. **The subconscious is what a man is. The conscious is what a man knows.** The conscious and subconscious are one, but the subconscious is greater than the conscious.
The subconscious is that in which everything is known, in which everything is possible, to which everything goes, from which everything comes, which belongs to all, to which all have access.
What we are conscious of is constructed out of what we are not conscious of. Not only do our subconscious assumptions influence our behavior but they also fashion the pattern of our objective existence. They alone have the power to say, “Let us make man—objective manifestations—in our image, after our likeness.”
The whole of creation is asleep within the deep of man and is awakened to objective existence by his subconscious assumptions. Within that blankness we call sleep there is a consciousness in unsleeping vigilance, and while the body sleeps this unsleeping being releases from the treasure house of eternity the subconscious assumptions of man.”
Becoming a magnetic explorer
Magnetic training isn’t a straightforward path. It’s not just a matter of following exercises X and Y, and suddenly becoming magnetic.
I wish it were that simple, but it’s not.
That would reduce it to a mechanical process, but humans are far from being simple robots. We’re filled with subtleties and nuances that make creating a direct path to magnetism impossible.
However, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t universal magnetic principles; there are. But, the way to apply them can vary as much as the individuals themselves.
That’s why we can’t outline a step-by-step approach to magnetic training. I can only teach you the principles and provide you with the tools to explore them. How you apply them will be unique to you.
Over the years and through many students, I’ve observed that almost all successful students found ways to integrate these principles into their own uniqueness. The common thread among them is always curiosity — curiosity about themselves and these principles.
So, it’s crucial to become a magnetic explorer. Be interested not only in studying the magnetic principles but also in how they apply to you.
This goes beyond simply doing a set exercise every day for 20 minutes. If you approach it this way, improvement will be challenging.
It’s not about the time spent doing exercises or even the specific exercises; it’s about being curious about what happens as you explore your energy, being curious about yourself.
The more you delve into how you respond to these exercises and what happens, not just during but also before and after, the more you’ll improve your magnetism. Because then you’ll understand how these universal magnetic principles are at work (or not) within you.
