I don’t think I need to explain how powerful the mind is in making impossible things happen.  Your mind controls your reality and can make you think you are well and other times your mind can make you think you are sick.

Edgar Cayce had laryngitis for almost a year until Edgar had a session with a hypnotist who was able to regress him and was able to get him to talk just fine.  When Edgar returned to consciousness his laryngitis also returned.  It wasn’t until a hypnotist regressed him and then asked Edgar what was wrong with his voice and how to correct it.  Edgar gave instructions on what the hypnotist needed to do to help Edgar correct his ailment and it worked.

This story is really fascinating and you can read it in its entirety at http://www.edgarcayce.org/edgar-cayce2.html.

Imagine what your life would be like if you were in control of your programming.  The media, government, corporation and even religions know how powerful your mind is and many of them seek to control that power for their own reasons.

Advertisers know how to subtly manipulate your interest in their products and they use it without thinking twice.  Have you ever watched a commercial or read an advertisement and actually felt an anxiety of sorts pushing you to buy the product? 

Fear is a very powerful motivator and has been used time-and-time again by governments to gain control of the masses.  Just look at what is happening in Iran and what the Chinese tried in Tiananmen Square.

The general public doesn’t pay attention and is searching for stimulation.  The media is intent on capturing our attention.  In order to do this they must peak an arousal and that raises a level of stimulation.  After a while this stimulation needs to be increased over time because humans adapt to the stimulation and therefore need a greater amount to have the same effect. 

When we pursue the “stuff” being sold to us, what are we really pursuing? We think this “stuff” is necessary to be happy.  Eldon Taylor, author of Mind Programming, says, “If I can sell you fear I can sell you a solution” and “We get people to march in cadence for two reasons, their appetite and their fear.”

Why does the mind act collectively and causing us to follow the crowd like sheep?  We trust our senses but they mislead us as much as tell the truth.  We also trust authority figures so when someone in authority tells us something we tend to believe it without question.  In fact research shows that the part of your brain responsible for making decisions shuts off when an authority figure walks in the room.  We stop thinking and become submissive to the authority figure due to our need to comply to keep consistency.

Now let’s look at harnessing the power of your own mind and taking that power away from the power mongerers.

The first step to controlling your mind is to really know who you are, your weaknesses and your strengths.  A lot of people refuse to look at the darkness inside themselves because they fear the pain so they resist it and they end up playing the blame, shame, victim game.  Others see their darkness but don’t know what to do about it so they put up with it living in self loathing and quiet desperation.

Some occultists call this Shadow Magic or Shadow Work because you are working with the subconscious or the shadow part of you where the dark things about you reside.  Bringing this part of you to the light and embracing it allows you to reunite with your shadow self making you more whole and therefore more powerful.

It’s really only necessary to surface your pain long enough to find out where it is coming from and then process it.  Once you process the uncomfortable feelings caused by beliefs created by trauma, the memory will remain but the emotions will be sufficiently processed and cleared out.  This gives you the freedom to stay conscious to your behavior without the overwhelming feelings provoked by the memory of what happened.

When I start a new client I first have them identify several areas of pain from a table I give them.  The purpose is to surface various areas a person has had emotionally painful experience with.  The number of areas checked off tells me how well the client takes ownership of his or her painful experiences.  If the client only checks a few off this tells me the client is not very conscious and may not be ready to do this work

Once the client identifies their top 3 most painful experiences this helps me know exactly where the client needs to heal.  I don’t have to waste several sessions to find this information out; I can get it in just a few minutes.

After I have worked with the client to help her understand her own ego and recognize her own programming, then we take the top 3 most painful experiences and we go deeper to uncover the beliefs behind those experiences.  We keep working until we get to the beliefs behind the beliefs all the way to the root and then deal with those beliefs.  No sense in dealing with symptoms when you can uproot the beliefs causing the unhappy emotions and situations.

Once you know your programming you can then stay conscious and immediately recognize when your programming is being triggered by someone or some thing outside yourself.

If you would like to receive a copy of the table of painful areas, send me an email and I will send it to you.

Late one night in a small Alabama cemetery, Vance Vanders had a run-in with the local witch doctor, who wafted a bottle of unpleasant-smelling liquid in front of his face, and told him he was about to die and that no one could save him.

Back home, Vanders took to his bed and began to deteriorate. Some weeks later, emaciated and near death, he was admitted to the local hospital, where doctors were unable to find a cause for his symptoms or slow his decline. Only then did his wife tell one of the doctors, Drayton Doherty, of the hex.

Doherty thought long and hard. The next morning, he called Vanders’s family to his bedside. He told them that the previous night he had lured the witch doctor back to the cemetery, where he had choked him against a tree until he explained how the curse worked. The medicine man had, he said, rubbed lizard eggs into Vanders’s stomach, which had hatched inside his body. One reptile remained, which was eating Vanders from the inside out.

Doherty then summoned a nurse who had, by prior arrangement, filled a large syringe with a powerful emetic (a medicine that induces nausea and vomiting). With great ceremony, he inspected the instrument and injected its contents into Vanders’ arm. A few minutes later, Vanders began to gag and vomit uncontrollably. In the midst of it all, unnoticed by everyone in the room, Doherty produced his pièce de résistance - a green lizard he had stashed in his black bag. “Look what has come out of you Vance,” he cried. “The voodoo curse is lifted.”

Vanders did a double take, lurched backwards to the head of the bed, then drifted into a deep sleep. When he woke next day he was alert and ravenous. He quickly regained his strength and was discharged a week later.

The facts of this case from 80 years ago were corroborated by four medical professionals. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is that Vanders survived. There are numerous documented instances from many parts of the globe of people dying after being cursed.

With no medical records and no autopsy results, there’s no way to be sure exactly how these people met their end. The common thread in these cases, however, is that a respected figure puts a curse on someone, perhaps by chanting or pointing a bone at them. Soon afterwards, the victim dies, apparently of natural causes.

The above story is a true one and it clearly shows how magic really works. You can read more about the above story at The Science of Voodoo

Your beliefs create your reality regardless of whether your beliefs are true, false, create pain, or are not even relevant to who you are today. Beliefs are a powerful part of your ability to interact in your world. When a person works magic that person is using their beliefs to generate the energy necessary to create what they want in their life.

The above information begs the question about whether a person can be affected by a magician sending out energy, either positive or negative, if the recipient doesn’t know the magician is sending any energy at all.

It all comes back to the belief of the sender and the recipient. See, we are all connected and I can connect with other people energetically but the energy I send out to another person is only as strong as my belief in my ability to connect energetically. Likewise, the recipient will only be affected to the level that he or she’s belief allows it.

A question I get a lot from my students is about protecting oneself from dark magicians. They want to know how strong one has to be to effectively protect oneself from a powerful dark magician. The answer lies in whose will is strongest and your will is only as strong as your beliefs fueling your will.

There are many techniques that work to help you change your subconscious beliefs but they work best when you know the root belief. Before I became a certified spiritual life coach, I thought the beliefs I needed to change to allow more money to flow into my life were beliefs like, “I can’t afford anything I want,” “I can’t ever have more money than I need,” and so on.

What I later found out was that my root beliefs surrounding money were really about how valuable I believed I was and my beliefs about needing to be powerless. Money makes me feel valuable and powerful so my ego would work hard to make sure I didn’t have any more money than what I needed so I would remain powerless and un-valuable.

There are many techniques that teach you how to use the Law of Attraction and how to manifest what you really want along with other techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique and The Sedona Method among others that teach you to change your beliefs. Unfortunately very few of these techniques actually teach you how to get to your root beliefs.

A person who is disciplined can make changes to their beliefs but your ego has kept you asleep for such a long time that it’s near impossible to find the root beliefs without assistance. However, it can be done, it just takes a great deal longer and a lot more effort.

I’m currently working on a book that will help individuals surface and deal with their subconscious beliefs. The book will accompany a teleseminar I’m developing and will soon be available. I hope to make this teleseminar as reasonably priced as possible so more people will have access to this information. I’ll share more on this later.
