MENTORSHIP 101

SESSION 1: The power of subconscious mind

Dear Reader

I am writing this letter with a lot of love but more so because am glad to be of help to you.
In this first part of mentorship, I would want us to address the miraculous power within
you-the powerhouse

Within you lays a powerhouse, which you can extract everything you need to live
gloriously, joyously, and abundantly. Many people are dozed off their potential because
they do not know about this store house of infinite intelligence. To whom the world refers to
as titans/legendary /world class this is among their long lived secrets. I call it secret because
the power within it warrants it to be in schools curriculum but instead ignored and
confused with brain washing info. Well, those who really desired to change their lives
struggled, found it, mastered it and reaped unlimited results. Needless to say, they confess
that they were not any genius. The question is, “what is the secret?”

The secret is the hidden POWER IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. I am a trained Biomedical
scientist and one of the first concepts that I learnt in my early years of training were that
if you combine two atoms of Hydrogen and one of oxygen you get water as the product
(2H + O =H2 O). However, if you combine one atom of oxygen and one atom of carbon, you
get carbon monoxide – a poisonous gas (C + O = CO). If you add another atom of oxygen –
you get carbon dioxide (C + O2 = CO2) a gas harmless to animals and vital for the plants. I
also learnt that water seeks its own level and Matter expands when heated just to mention
but a few. The above facts are known as principles they are universal and immutable.

It’s also universal truth that, whatever you impress on your sub-conscious mind is expressed
on the screen of space as a condition, experience, and event.
You have only one brain – The brain at work is called mind – when the brain is at work it
possesses 2 functional characteristics (duality of mind) each has its own separate powers
and attributes.

The two functional characteristics are conscious and the subconscious mind.

Your conscious mind

 Conscious mind is sensitive to your conscious thoughts.

 It is rational
 It is active
 Conscious mind directs/issues orders
subconscious mind
 subconscious mind is sensitive to the conscious mind,
 It’s irrational.
 It is reactive.
 subconscious executes orders-It accepts what is impressed upon it or what is
consciously believed.
 Sad enough, the subconscious mind does not reason out, it does not argue ,
 Its a bed of rich soil that accepts every seed, good or bad, positive or negative, to build
or to destroy, to make or break etc. It can be likened to a tape recorder, it picks what it’s
given, it doesn’t care whether good or bad.it doesn’t stop to correct you, it simply picks
orders. It’s a tape that keeps rolling, recording every word.
 With time, the subconscious mind accumulates impressions, memories, and
information.

A good example is a car driving process, when one first learns driving, their concentration
and focus is normally high on the gear and the clutch. They notice every pothole and every
other obstacle that comes their way. As you become trained you spend less effort on the
road and you are also able to multitask while driving. This is because the subconscious
mind stored all the actions you trained on and driving becomes almost natural.
Just like driving a car, you have been driving through your life’s journey from childhood,
you gathered knowledge and created a data base of it, you have made decisions based on
your learning some of which you immediately since dismissed based on mature
consciousness and others you reinforced based on how repetitive their context were. This
can only translate to the fact that when you were born, your subconscious mind was an
empty sponge ready for fill-up, and for the early years of your life, your environment
determined what got into the sponge. As you grow up you either do away with the
environmental hypnotization or you re-affirm it .You current life then is a mirror projecting
environmental based projections or self-affirmed projections

The worst part is that subconscious mind keeps replaying, reminding you of whom you
think you are or whom you were made to believe you are. Some of the believes you have
today were conditioned while you were still a child. Of importance is that you get be
released from the prison of conditioning, by realization that behind your thoughts lies the
lens through which you see the world, your thoughts influence your choices and your choices
create your world. Good news is that that you can change your thoughts and subsequently
your choices and the world.

Think of a garden. You are the gardener and you are planting seeds of thought in your sub -
conscious mind all day long. Remember much of the time you are not even aware because
these seeds are based on habitual thinking. As you sow in your subconscious mind, so you
shall reap in your body and environment. The subconscious mind is a bed of rich soil that
will help all kinds of seeds to flourish. Have you heard of a farmer who sow thistles and
harvested figs or sow thorns and harvested grapes? Have you heard of anybody who sow
can’t and harvested win? Or sowed excuses and harvested success?

In physics, we learn about Newton’s third law of motion, that for every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction. This law represents certain symmetry in nature: forces always
occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force
itself. A mango seed will give mangoes in due course and not palms. Good actions will
inevitably have good consequences. In essence, everything we do creates a corresponding
energy that comes back to us in some form or another—or, as the common phrase says
“what goes around comes around.”

Where do the seeds come from? Your mind is active – the thought are the seed. If you
repeatedly say to yourself “I can’t afford,” take it from me – you will never go near affording
leave alone affording – this is because your subconscious mind takes you at your word. It
sees to it that you will never be in a position to afford, this is because the principle of the
subconscious mind is that it follows orders, it obeys the Master. Dear girl – if you have to
change your destiny, you must start by changing your thoughts.

Whatever you sow you shall surely reap – Galatians 6:7-9 or better still whatever goes round,
comes around or even better around or even better

“As long as the earth remains, so shall seedtime and harvest” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

A story is told of 2 salesmen who set up on a long journey to a far country to sell shoes.
Each one of them had a hand-luggage of different designs of shoes while the shipped
luggage followed them. On arrival to the county, one sales man was very disturbed because
he found out that in that country nobody had a pair of shoe on – He called his Manager back
home & told him to stop the shipped luggage immediately, because in that country, nobody
wears shoes.

The second salesman also called the Manager back home and requested him to ship more
and more shoes, because in that country everybody needed a shoe – He is a Billionaire.

Another story is said of a group of people who attended sports competition in a particular
stadium, they are from a particular food stall and went to spectate the matches, on hour
later an announcement was made that the particular stall in which they had eaten had been
closed indefinitely because a lady who ate from the same joint the previous day had food
poisoning and had succumbed to it. Immediately the guys started showing signs of food
poisoning and 2 died before arrival to the hospital – the power of the subconscious mind.
As I conclude, I want you to seriously remember the law of mind. The reaction or response
you get from your subconscious mind will be determined by the nature of thought or idea
you hold in your conscious mind.

A research has pointed out that when thoughts are conveyed to your subconscious.
Impressions are made in the brain cells. As soon as your subconscious mind accepts any idea,
it proceeds to put it into effect immediately.

Working by Association of Ideas, it uses every bit of knowledge that you have ever gathered
in your life time to bring about its purpose. It draws on the infinite power, (the power you
had before your were hypnotized by society, friend, families – The power you had as a child
that believed you could be anything you wanted to be) energy and wisdom within you. Can
you imagine – it lines up all the laws of nature to get its way- to obey the Master – Your
conscious mind – ultimately it brings solutions or harvest based on what you sow No
matter the time, you either experience

Your subconscious mind has the ability to bring into your life more happiness, more wealth,
more health, and even more joy just to mention but a few. How? - Provided you are open
minded, receptive and willing, the infinite intelligence within your subconscious mind can
reveal to you everything you need to know, at the moment of time and point of space. These
include new thoughts to bring fourth inventions, new discoveries and true place in your
life. This science, it’s not about mindset, it’s about positive thinking, it is a fact proven
scientifically and biblically.

When the Bile for example talks about the plans God has for us in Jeremiah 29:11, plans to
bring future &hope not plans to bring discouragement, Misery, bitterness, wrath, jealousy etc
– it’s because our Creator knew too well we had what it takes to hope & future life.

. May I shock you – that your prayer is answered because you believe. The bible says it in
simple, clear and beautiful way.

“Whoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and though be cast into the sea,
and shall not doubt in his heart, that those things which he said shall come to pass, he shall
have whatsoever he saith.” Mark 11:23
The law of mind, is the law of belief. This is because it’s not about the things believed, but the
belief in your own mind that brings about the result. To this end, then you must stop
accepting false beliefs, opinions, superstitions and fears that plague our life.

From this point forward, fill your mind with thoughts of harmony, health, peace, love,
goodwill, success, breakthrough, super life, super career, super marriage and wonders will
start manifesting in you.
Abundance and Poverty

Wisdom or Ignorance Superstition

Peace or Inner Strife

Success or Failure Just to mention but a few

Joy or Sadness

Light of Darkness

Harmony or Discord

Faith and Confidence or Fear and Low Self-Esteem

Even the Bible says in Philippians 4:8 “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise,
think of these things.”

Attached is your homework, do it up-close & personal it’s not an exam, nobody will judge
you, it’s for yourself development. Take your time & when done we shall do session 2.

Love + Respect

BENAH GICHIMU.

1) Meditate on the following Biblical accounts of the use of the subconscious mind (You
can use your preferred Bible version)

Mark 11:24, Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer believe that you have
received and it will be yours”.

Matt 9:27-30 JESUS HEALS THE BLIND MEN.

And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him crying aloud. Have mercy
on us son of David. When he entered the house, the blind men came to him and Jesus said to
them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to Him, Yes Lord, and then he
touched their eyes saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.

Mark 9:23 JESUS HEALS A BOY WITH UNCLEAN SPIRIT

(Please read the whole chapter to get the context)

And Jesus said to him, “If you can”! All things are possible to for one who believes.

2) CASE STUDIES

One evening, as I was contemplating to go to bed, a text came in through my mobile phone
– my husband had earlier indicated that he would be late on a late assignment – form the
nature of his work, I knew this meant three am (3.00am), but the text that came around
came around 9.00 pm confirmed that he was on the way since he lacked some
infrastructure to complete the work. Immediately I set up my mind to wait for him right in
the family room sipping some white wine (I had take white meat for dinner). No sooner
had I poured the wine than my 4 year old son woke up and I only got to realize his presence
at the room, trying to look into the glass, knowing the contents I shouted, “ Kevin, that
water has a lot of pepper, don’t even smell it.” What followed was a dramatic event. Kevin
could not stop sneezing violently. He even confirmed that the pepper was “kali” to his nose
and eyes. Anyway, what do you think caused the sneeze?
It didn’t take long to realize that I needed to undo, I rushed outside (of course before my
husband came) picked a flower and told him to smell it, I cited that if re- absorbs all the
pepper from the system. After 3 minutes, the child was calm and fell asleep.

Question – Do you think sickness & cure both take place in your subconscious mind?

Consider accounts in your life where your subconscious mind had taken control positive or
negatively. (write them down for our next discussion)

CASE STUDY 1
