It is the knowledge we have of spiritual principles, that determines the kind of reality we create through consciousness. consciousness is made of mindset and energy. Your mindset is formed by the kind of conceptions and opinions you have about things. These conceptions and opinions are ideas that are crystallized “within” your subconscious-mind. This crystallization happened by the kind of impression (influence) your life experiences, your religious belief, and any form of discipline you may have received, had on you. These crystallized ideas, or your this mindset is “self-expressive”. It expresses itself through the kind of life-energy that emanates from your heart.
