My Science Project...

by Chelsea Miller

Don,

I am 14 years old and I am doing a science project at school on the subconscious mind. I read your page on controlling the subconscious mind and I found it extremely helpful! Thank you so much! But I am just a bit confused... you said that the subconscious mind cannot process negations and all it hears is "I - like to smoke", for example, which makes perfect sense.

But I read on this other site that you shouldn't say "I can not do it" and think negative thoughts like this because your subconscious takes them to be true etc.

What I don't understand is; if your subconscious can't process negations, wouldn't it hear "I can - do it" ? So wouldn't it be good to think this? Thanks for all your help! :-)
