Once Quotes (page 175)
As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.

The subconscious is the seat of the emotions and is a creative mind. Once subconscious accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. Whatever you feel is true, your subconscious will accept and bring forth into experience.

Thomas Hardy
