The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science - FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE MIND
Key Concepts:
Subjective Mind: The realm of intuition, feeling, and the creative power. It is always responsive to suggestion and acts as the "builder" of the body and the originator of external forms. It is considered the individual's share in the universal subjective mind.
Objective Mind: The realm of intellect, reason, and conscious perception of the external world. It typically holds control over the subjective mind in a normal state.
Hypnotic State: Considered the normal state of the subjective mind, where it operates directly according to suggestions.
Suggestion: Any idea or influence, consciously or unconsciously conveyed to the subjective mind, which it readily accepts and acts upon.
Universal Subjective Mind: The all-pervading intelligent Spirit that is the creative power throughout Nature. It operates according to the law of suggestion.
Creative Power: The inherent ability of the subjective mind (both universal and individual) to bring about external manifestations based on impressed suggestions or thoughts.
Absolute: The conception of a thing as it exists in itself, its essence, independent of external relations. It is the realm of causes.
Relative: The conception of a thing as it exists in relation to other things, circumscribed by its environment. It is the realm of conditions.
Thinking in the Absolute: The process of impressing upon the subjective mind the idea of a desired outcome as already existing, separate from limiting conditions and the element of time.
Spiritual Prototype: The initial, purely spiritual form of an object or idea conceived in the spiritual world, which acts as the root and attracts the necessary elements for its external manifestation.
Nucleus of Attraction: The initial thought or spiritual prototype that, once created in the subjective mind, begins to attract corresponding elements on the material plane, leading to external manifestation.
Vortex Rings: A concept from physical science suggesting that the fundamental building blocks of the physical world are minute, rotating rings formed from a primordial substance, acting as initial nuclei for the formation of matter.
Law of Growth: The inherent tendency of a spiritual prototype or nucleus to attract and organize matter and energy, leading to its full manifestation in the external world.
