When times are difficult it is best to withdraw from external activity and argumentation that activates emotions and desires that do not serve you or others. It is far better to sit in contemplation for a long time, even when there is pressure to decide, to be sure that you are making the right decision. The right decision will serve the greater good, and the whole, rather than the greedy few. Take all the time you need to make your own decisions of import during these outer times of difficulty. For if there is strife in the world around you, you can be sure that you are feeling it, and if you are feeling it then it also stands to reason that it affects you in some way. So, take time to get to the bottom of your own truth before deciding what is really right, in any situation. Do not go to haste, but do go to patient waiting. When the time is right, the right decision will clearly show itself.
The fundamental dynamic of our New Age is the intentional use of the conscious and subconscious minds to manifest reality. The inherent power of this creative relationship of dual mind has always been there, but until recently its divine powers of manifestation were largely unknown, or innocently disowned.
In the New Age, we are claiming and exercising these divine abilities, which were previously projected onto divine beings above and beyond the human self. The key to using these powers resides in the volitional use of suggestion, or command, to the subconscious mind to physically, emotionally and mentally create the outcome one intends.
Suggestions can be delivered intentionally to the subconscious mind, from the conscious mind, through planned and often repeated autosuggestions.
Unintentional suggestions might also impress themselves upon the subconscious mind through the incessant internal dialogue of thoughts, beliefs and judgments that constantly play in the background of the mind.
What we think, believe and state, consciously or unconsciously, we become. The phenomenon of placebo is hardly an aberration. It reflects the normal divine action of the subconscious power in the human mind. As we believe within, so we create without.
Suggestions can also be delivered to the subconscious mind from sources outside the self, which impress themselves upon the subconscious mind with powerful emotions, manifesting in how one sees and relates to the world.
World leaders are presently demonstrating this power of influence in their incessant, redundant words that act as suggestions that impress themselves upon the subconscious minds of the masses. They become an actual interpretation of reality, often in spite of proven facts to the contrary.
The divine power of the human subconscious mind is that it will accept, as fact, what it is told, if the suggestion is powerful enough to impress itself upon it. That accepted fact then becomes expressed as physical reality.
The subconscious mind will never question a premise it is given. Stage hypnosis readily demonstrates this fact. A hypnotic human subject, who is told they are a dog, will bark and pant as if they genuinely were one, in full acceptance of this suggestion, by the hypnotist, as being the absolute truth.
The phenomenon of trance, which facilitates suggestion being delivered to a hypnotic subject, is actually universal. Contrary to an early psychological misconception, which defined and limited trance and hypnotic states to pathological expressions of hysteria, it turns out that hypnosis is one of the most normal, fundamental states of the human mind. It’s a natural brainwave state that we enter frequently, allowing our thoughts to reach and impress the subconscious mind.
When driving a car, most people enter a state of trance called highway hypnosis, where the mind is in two places at once—both driving the car, with an automatic awareness, while simultaneously off on a thinking adventure. Similar trance states are entered when we are tired, particularly before sleep.
Even in fully aware, active beta-brainwave states, the drone of the internal dialogue creates a neural pathway to the subconscious mind that leaves it receptive to the thoughts one is thinking about. These thoughts manifest as moods and actual perceptions, as the subconscious mind creates, in physical reality, the essence of our thoughts and beliefs.
This effect is particularly enhanced by the excitation of the Central Nervous System (CNS) by the mental ingestion of postings from social media. The intent of outside messaging is to excite our CNS to impress the subconscious mind, while we are seduced into the addiction of excitement.
To navigate the flood of messages that deliver us daily to our identity and state of being, we do well to severely limit outside messaging. Such messaging, now aided by the power of AI, constantly infiltrates our thought space, honing its suggestions to fit our unique lifestyle and preferences, seeking to influence our subconscious mind to adopt its causes.
Instead, I suggest choosing activity that promotes inner calm and harmony. Calming music, calm breathing, meditation, and being mindful during all activities protects our brainwave states from exhaustion and takeover by outside energy.
Thoughts are also things that telepathically can invade our mind-space. The trick here is to not take the bait of excitement nor engage the intrusive thought in inner dialogue. Refocus attention instead upon thoughts of gratitude and love.
A thankful, loving focus raises our brainwave states to deep calm and contentment, as we become impervious to the agitation of invasive thoughts seeking to plant themselves in our nourishing garden of mind.
Furthermore, the subconscious mind will attract to us outer conditions that match our inner feelings and brainwave states. Like attracts like. Positive feelings attract a positive outer reality.
The malevolent matrix of now is an attempt to steal our mental energy for its own construction, but we are fully capable of freeing the mind and destroying the errors of thought that keep us temporarily waylaid. Unleash, instead, the positive divine power of creation within the self.
Finally, take full charge of your our mind now! Take back its power and suggest, with utter confidence, that your subconscious mind deliver you to the world of your dreams, for yourself and your world, but also for the greater good of all.
There is no telling what the outcome of events will be, but we can tell you, from our perspective on the other side of life as you know it, that choices do matter. Take time to sit and contemplate the outcome of decisions, to envision what is needed that is best for the greater whole, and then what is needed to act upon that vision. To act on the decision that will be for the greatest good is to be in alignment with something outside of the self, outside of and beyond the ego self. To make decisions based on the filter of the heart is the best method of achieving goals and outcomes that will serve the many, rather than decisions based on the desires and needs of the few, which will, in the end, only serve the few.
In times of stress be aware that ideas of illness can arise. This might mean that an inkling of sickness is really telling you to slow down, that you are doing too much, giving too much, overwhelming your own body with too many stress hormones that find no place to rest. Take care of your body, especially during times of stress, for rest of the body, mind and spirit are as important as peace in the world. And if you are not at peace within yourself then there will not be peace outside of you either. So, get some good and nurturing rest in whatever stress-free way appeals to you, for a stress-free you will mean a stress-free world.
Take care of yourself even as you care deeply about others. Take care that you are in tiptop shape so that you may be available to those you love deeply but also available to monitor and guide yourself through trying times. It’s very important for those who can offer help to others to be mindful of their own shortcomings and their own tendencies to over-give, to overcompensate, and to become codependent, without regard to their own needs. A caregiver must also care about the self, and perhaps this is the most important aspect of caregiving, to be caring of and about the self in times of stress but also in times of rest. For to truly be a giver, one must also truly become a receiver, and that might just mean saying no.
