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.
