You are dressed for success when you use both your subconscious mind and your Spiritual or super-conscious mind. The subconscious mind, wonderful though it be, is instinctive merely, lacking inspiration and what we call originality, while you can achieve success by training your subconscious mind, you can spread your wings and fly to success by tapping into your Spiritual or super-conscious mind.
All inspiration comes from the Universal Mind, via the super-conscious. All poets and inspired writers get their inspiration in this way. This higher mind is not recognized by Psychologists, but it has long been known to searchers for spiritual truth.
What we get from the subconscious is the outcome of facts and knowledge supplied to it. What we get from the super-conscious is direct inspiration from higher planes. This higher mind might also be called the Mind of Illumination, for those who can enter into it become illumined, being able to know the Truth and see things as they really are, and not as they falsely appear to the senses.
This limited consciousness in which we live is bounded by our five senses. The universe that we see around us is partly real and partly an illusion. The real universe is Spiritual and infinite: what we sense is a limited, partial conception of a fragment of it. Our limited, human conception of the universe is entirely misleading and false, and so long as we rely on sense evidence and the human mind, we remain in darkness and uncertainty. When, however, we can rise into the super-conscious realm, our consciousness expands; we develop our wings and fly to success, transcending the senses and the limitations of the physical plane.
The Spiritual mind is, of course, only accessible to those who are more delicately attuned to its finer vibrations. Nothing that is worth having can be had without effort, and it is only after much self-discipline that it becomes possible for the student to raise his consciousness to this higher realm and understand life from the standpoint of the Universal Mind.
There is nothing, either mystical or psychical, about the use of this higher mind. One who makes use of it becomes spiritually-minded, that is all. He does not go into trances, nor need he become clairvoyant: he simply remains a sane, normal individual; with this difference only-he makes use of more of his mind than does the ordinary individual.
One who is able to use this higher mind develops that which has been termed "the divine quality of originality." If ever a person is to spread their wings, fly to success, and rise above the dead level of mediocrity it must be through direct inspiration from higher planes, through his super-conscious mind. If ever a person is to bring forth a new idea which shall enrich humanity and add to the common good, it must come through the higher mind.
One who is properly attuned, becomes, through the super-conscious mind, a recipient of knowledge that is above human, and wisdom that is divine. He knows by direct knowing: he becomes wise through an influx of Divine Wisdom. He is able to distinguish between the real and the make-believe, between the gold and the rubbish: he is also able to see and recognize the right path in life-a thing utterly impossible to the mind of the senses- and to tread it, thus being led into the only true success and real good of which his life is capable.
