Subconscious Mechanism Or ONLY Asking From Allah?
I have a question. We know that causes are important in life, and asking for something through clear causes is not considered shirk (idolatry). For example, if I ask a servant to bring me water from the fridge, it’s not shirk. But asking for unseen or supernatural things from someone can be shirk. If I ask a person or a shrine for wealth, it is wrong because we should ask such things from Allah. However, what if we understand the clear mechanism of the unseen?
For example, as I study psychology, new thought movements, and habitual thinking, it’s scientifically proven that whatever gets impressed on our subconscious brain becomes real or automatic. If I constantly think about poverty, my life will be poor; if I focus on abundance, my life will be abundant.
Extending this principle, we find specific techniques to influence the subconscious mind, making things happen in reality. For instance, in hypnosis, if a person is in a state between consciousness and sleep, and we suggest they are a dog, they will act like a dog. If we say they are on a snowy mountain, their body temperature will drop. If we say blood is flowing from their chest, it will start flowing.
This is the power of the human mind. Science now accepts that what we don’t see now may already be in our subconscious, and we can practice to realize or manifest it. These suggestions often come as intuition, creative ideas, or feelings.
So, if we know for sure that our peace or abundance in life during a crisis comes from the subconscious mind, then is it okay to ask from the subconscious mind? Is it correct? This has been proven and tested, and I have personally experienced it. When Ghamidi Sahab was asked about monks and spiritual leaders showing miracles like walking on water or flying, he beautifully replied that it has nothing to do with religion. Just like there is a universe outside a person, there is a universe inside too, with its principles, just like physics.
So, when we understand this inner world, which can produce “seemingly magical” things, and its formulas require directly addressing or asking the subconscious mind, is it wrong? Is it morally right? Because it is said that we should only ask from Allah, but we know this principle is proven. Please provide an answer.
