This post was inspired by High Priest Zevios Metathronos’s sermons on Why You Must Never Give Up In Life As A Zevist and About Our Parents - Healing Parental Problems. They have infinite depth and value to one who understands the workings of the mind.

I see so many people struggling and even using magic successfully to fix aspects of their lives, but only addressing symptoms and not their actual problems, which usually end up manifesting themselves later in a different way. This happens because they lack the insight to even know there is an underlying problem to begin with. I hope this post helps to resolve that.

It is of vital importance that every Zevist understand the workings of the mind. The human brain can ultimately be divided into two distinct yet connected systems: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.

The conscious mind is your logical mind. It receives information from your five senses. It is creative; here you do critical thinking and rationalization. However, the conscious mind does not control our actions. Our actions are almost exclusively controlled by the subconscious mind. This mind is largely ruled by emotions, habit, and instinct. It cannot think, reason, or reject an idea; it only acts upon the programming it already has. Fully 95 percent of our behaviours are habitual, or, in other words, we are consciously unaware that we are even doing them.

These two minds work together to determine your actions. They can bring you success or failure, happiness or anxiety, achievement or frustration. It is all in the way you use them.

When we come into this world we know nothing about it, a blank slate, every belief and behaviour we had to be taught by our parents, meticulously through repetition.[1] Like a computer coming off an assembly line, an infant doesn't have any programming.

The predominant brain activity during a child’s first two years of life is delta, the lowest EEG frequency range. Between two and six years of age, the child’s brain activity ramps up and operates primarily in the range of theta. Theta is associated with imagination, children this age spend much of their time mixing the imaginary world with the real world. The theta brain frequency is also known as hypnosis.

The predominant delta and theta activity expressed by children younger than six signifies that their brains are operating at levels below consciousness.

The only job the brain of a child has is to record new behaviours to add to its programming by observing parents, siblings, and the community; anything and everything it sees, hears, and experiences downloads straight into its subconscious, and that becomes its new programming. A child will remain in this brain frequency until about the age of 7.

The ancients knew this, Aristotle is quoted as saying, “Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.”

When the conscious mind works correctly, it protects us from bad programming by reasoning, analyzing, and concluding that incoming information is bad and rejecting it. You MUST be careful what you feed your mind. Most people get home from work, turn on the TV or the white noise of their choice, and usually don't even pay attention; they’re completely zoned out. That's the worst possible thing to do, as that program completely bypasses your conscious mind, which would usually be able to reason and tell you if what you're hearing is useful or not, and goes straight to the subconscious.

The subconscious makes your actions consistent with your programming. "As Within, So Without." You can think of the world around you as a mirror that reflects all your dominant thoughts back to you. Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. That means we are solely responsible for the state of our lives. Most people look for someone or something to blame when things aren't going their way, but the mark of the superior person is that they ask themselves, "What is it in me that is causing me to get these results?"

How It All Ties Into Our Lives:

In the simplest terms, the process of manifestation is as follows: you impress a desired thought from your conscious mind into your subconscious mind, and that is then expressed through your physical body, causing you to attract situations, circumstances, people, whatever it takes to manifest it into reality.

Conscious awareness of the vibration frequency is called "feeling."

Remember, the subconscious is the emotional mind. Any thought or idea in which you become emotionally involved is instantly and automatically expressed by your subconscious through the only instrument available to it, your physical body, and you begin to manifest it into reality. This goes for all emotions; they all have a specific vibrational frequency that corresponds to them. Any time you "feel" an emotion, it means that your subconscious mind has already changed the frequency at which your body vibrates, causing you to "feel" the way you do.

Some people are depressed and miserable; they reside in a terribly low vibration frequency and only manifest disease and misfortune in their lives. Others shine so brightly you can't wipe the happiness off their faces; they manifest health and joy in their lives, and conversely reside in a much higher vibration frequency.

You become what you think about. Most people are very confused about what they want and don't accomplish anything as they keep changing the ideas in their minds. They end up manifesting nothing but confusion and chaos in their lives. Clarity and focus are where the power lies. If thoughts are to ever manifest into reality, they must be allowed to take root and grow into our subconscious; otherwise, they are just fleeting thoughts. It's like if a farmer planted a carrot in their field one day and dug it up the next day to plant something else.

Everything in this world has a gestation period before it can manifest into reality. Thoughts have that as well; it takes time for a thought to settle in the subconscious and become permanent programming. For a normal person to imprint a thought into their subconscious and for it to become permanent programming (a habit), it's believed to take over 2 months. That means they are consciously doing a thing repeatedly in a certain way until it becomes automatic.

How you can change your programming is the same way you got it in the first place. The most basic way is through repetition. Through conscious awareness of the old programming you want to change and repetition of the new desired programming, the old programming will be overwritten in the subconscious.

Another good way is through affirmation. This could include programming energy through a magickal working, but plain affirmations will work as well. There are times in the day, however, when affirmations are more effective. When only doing affirmations, the best times are right after waking up and just before going to sleep. When you first wake up in the morning, your brain switches from delta waves, which occur in deep sleep, to theta waves, and after a while, alpha waves, which is a relaxed yet still wakeful state. We’re interested in the first few minutes of theta activity in the brain, during which any programming is greatly enhanced.[2] The same process occurs right before falling sleep, only in reverse.

Possibly the most powerful way is through Hypnosis. The deeper the trance state, the more we can access and influence the subconscious. A very important note is that the subconscious mind cannot tell between real and imagined experiences. How you can use this is you can experience synthetically the success you desire in a trance state. By involving as many senses as you can in your visualizations, you will actually put yourself on the same level of vibrational frequency as your desired goal, artificially.[3] This is an extremely powerful way to reprogram the subconscious mind and make success not only something that is normal for you, but expected.

Energy is constantly moving into form and manifesting our reality. As Zevsts, we work with energy on a level that is incomparable with the average human. Because of this, we manifest our goals much faster; however, not being in control of ourselves or even knowing what we truly want can bring us disaster.

Lastly, I wanted to say that if there's one thing you take away from this article, let it be this: stand guard at the door of your mind. Don't be a mindless consumer of media; think for yourselves and avoid buying into someone else's view of the world. Especially in our day, when we are constantly bombarded with messages of the most negative kind, it's easy to lose heart and have a grim outlook on life.

Faith and fear both demand you believe something you cannot see. So why choose fear over faith? By expecting good things to come into your life, you set yourself up to manifest that reality. You can face the future with apprehension or anticipation. Take your pick.

Notes & References:

1. As the page on Past Life Amnesia tells us, this isn’t entirely true as we bring our programming from past lives with us, but the principle still applies.

2. How you start your morning largely determines the rest of your day. One of the worst things you can do for yourself is to start scrolling on your phone or checking emails right after waking up. Remember, you need to allow your brain some time to switch out of theta waves; otherwise, whatever you see, especially bad news first thing in the morning, will have a much deeper impact on you and dictate the rest of your day.

3. “For example, with attracting money, you would want to visualize the money [your wallet full, or whatever], even *feel* and *smell* the money, touch it; the more realistic your visualizations are and the more astral senses you use, the more effective the working will be, and infuse it with as much energy as you can, the more brilliant, the better, using your visualization. Feel happy emotions.” - High Priestess Pythia The Three Steps of Witchcraft
