Chuck’s Place: Suggestion Is The New Science Of Matter

Manifest for the greater good of self and all…

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the most prominent and evidenced based psychotherapy of today, is rooted in the principle that changing thought patterns manifests changes in physical life. Thought is a suggestion that creates change in matter.

In Quantum Mechanics particles exist in states of probability until observed by humans. This observer-effect influences the physical state of those particles. Suggestion, from the mind, impacts matter.

All the major spiritual traditions hold that some Divine Utterance of a word was the creative act that gave rise to the physical universe. Suggestion, in the form of a word, creates the physical world.

Shamanic traditions hold that human intent fixated upon a specific organization of energy becomes physical reality. Suggestion, in the form of the intent we call to us, becomes the reality of our physically manifested life.

Autosuggestion, in the form of words we speak to our subconscious mind, is the deliberate use of suggestion to generate the physical reality we seek to manifest. Suggestion manifests physical reality.

It is apparent that suggestion is the new science of matter. Even but a cursory look at current world changes demonstrates how a flood of suggestions is creating separate, but quite physical, realities.

Coexistent with the material world we live in is the mental or subtle world of the mind, which, although its thoughts might be considered to be impacting the cells of the brain, is not, of the brain. The mind is housed in the subtle body of the soul, which runs and cares for its intimate avatar, the physical body, until that physical body’s death, when the soul, with its mind, continues its journey in other dimensions of infinity.

The subtle dimension of the mind exists amid a world of boundless thoughts, in the form of suggestions, that barrage the subconscious dimension of mind to do their bidding. It is the subconscious dimension of mind that organizes matter, or physical reality, according to the suggestions impressed upon it.

Humankind has only recently, on a small scale, woken up, with consciousness, to the power of deliberate suggestion that, when delivered to the subconscious mind, manifests the reality it seeks. For the most part, we are still largely asleep at the wheel of time, unconscious of the fact that our supernatural ability to manifest the life we truly desire is so willingly given over to the thoughts, beliefs and, ultimately, the suggestions, of others.

Suggestions have their roots in desire. The motive power of desire is the fuel behind a verbal suggestion that impresses the subconscious mind. Words without emotion fall flat. Best, however, that the desire behind suggestion be the desire for growth for the greater good of self and all, as the karma of all suggestion is inevitable.

Since the redundancy of our internal dialogue is the major influencer to our subconscious mind, and is what most keeps us oppressed with habitual patterns, I recommend a constant conscious internal dialogue of positive suggestions.

Like rapidly repeating a positive prayer or mantra, a fast-paced reciting of a suggestion intensifies its emotional charge. Feel free to simply repeat them constantly throughout the day rather than indulge in passive fantasies and the thoughts they generate, the typical ongoing  internal dialogue that reinforces habitual reality.

Think not about how and when things will manifest; focus only on reinforcing the suggestion with persevering practice. Simply know that in the subtle dimension of the mind the suggestion is manifesting already at the creative center of the imagination.

The word will indeed become flesh when it is time to be lived at the level of dense matter, which is physical reality.

Exercise the science of suggestion, with consciousness and conscience,

Chuck’s Place: Harmonizing The Group Soul Of Now

Loving harmony in the group soul…
-Artwork © 2025 Jan Ketchel

I define the group soul of now to be the collective soul of all individual souls currently extant in human form on planet Earth. We are the brain center of the Earth, afforded the free will to impact greatly the fate of this planet.

Of course, Mother Nature, the subconscious powerhouse of our group soul, also has us experience the true karma of our decisions. Optimally, our collective will would harmonize with the greater good for all.

Currently, the group soul of our world is in a process of extreme  polarization. Conventional wisdom would have these opposing forces come together to reconcile differences in a process of communication, understanding and compromise.

However, such desired union is not yet prepared for, as the warring elements are convinced that success can only be obtained through the total conquest of opposition. For a harmonious union of opposites to occur at the level of the group soul, we must first discover and reconcile with the opposites within ourselves.

If we don’t know ourselves at the depths of our own inner opposites, we are sure to fall prey to the power of projection, where the problem of opposites is resolved through rejecting our neighbor, our projected, forsaken inner opposite.

Nonetheless, we can take advantage of discovering ourselves through the projections that so powerfully, emotionally seize us. For instance, I might notice myself angered at what I see as a highly manipulative, passive-aggressive move by another person. My anger, if I am paying attention, tells me immediately to look within.

As I do my mental inventory, I might discover my own ego power drive that does not like to lose. And with this insight, I shine a light upon the hologram of self, which reveals to me that in the as without of my projections is also the so within of my own psyche.

My ability to identify the true source of my anger, my own power drive, brings me into greater acceptance of my apparent opponent, as I can now see myself in the other. This does not resolve this inner opposition, but it does truly bring it home to roost.

Self acceptance of the unacceptable within makes it more acceptable to acknowledge that everything we are is the same in everyone else. Wisdom comes in knowing how to live those opposites, as in when and where it is best for them to be lived in our lives.

The more we are able to see ourselves in every attitude that comes at us the more we no longer need to be personally offended by the behaviors of others that we ourselves are quite capable of committing, if only in our fantasies. Fantasizing hating our neighbor is quite a potent form of polarization, within and without.

Anger and hatred issue from the solar plexus chakra, the home of our personal power. Inevitably, from this center we find ourselves in a competitive mode with others. The ability to reach the heart center chakra, the place of compassion, allows us to raise our vibration to the higher level of love, truth and wisdom, which lifts us out of the throes of competition.

The heart center also connects us to the wisdom and guidance of the High Self, that which assures us that there are benevolent forces beyond the ego that are in alignment with the greater good, letting us know that we can let go of the need to control, and be in harmony with the greater good of the group soul.

If we are to truly harmonize with the group soul for the greater good of all, we must innerly disarm from overt or covert hostility. When truly detached we are able to shift our energetic posture from yang to yin.

Yin is a magnetic state that attracts people in a positive way because they can feel that they are energetically being accepted, regardless of their views. A yang state, which is assertive, is, of course, equally appropriate at times. This set of opposites, yin and yang, represent a supreme example of opposites, able to express their individuality when appropriate and join in union—the essence of creation—when appropriate.

All efforts to harmonize the opposites within one’s individual soul are powerful contributions to the group soul of now, as it finds its way to the harmony of the greater good of all.

Harmonizing,

Chuck’s Place: The Sweet Spot Of The Subconscious Mind

The Divine Couple working together…
-Artwork © 2025 Jan Ketchel

The Divine Spark of Spirit is expressed in the Soul through the agency of the High Self and the Subconscious Mind, the Yang and Yin of creation. The suggestions of the High Self are given material life through the creative process of the Subconscious Mind, the bridge between mind and matter.

The Soul is the architect and creator of the physical body it inhabits and runs for the duration of its journey in human form. The Divine couple of High Self and Subconscious Mind, within the Soul, also co-create and deliver the Spark of the Spirit to the center of the human personality,  the human ego.

The High Self, as parent guardian to the ego, is ever available to provide its wisdom and guidance to the ego, upon request. The ego has the free will to choose its actions, and this freedom is generally not overridden by the High Self, except perhaps in a necessary, lifesaving intervention.

The Subconscious Mind is the crown of creation. In contrast to the High Self, its total focus is upon manifestation and maintenance of life. It leaves the thinking function to the High Self and to the ego. Its focus is upon maintaining the health and functioning of the body according to Mother Nature’s laws and the wisdom of the ages.

The Subconscious Mind is extremely receptive to manifesting suggestions delivered to it by its Divine offspring, the ego. Most people are unaware of this fundamental fact of life.  In fact, the rational mind of the ego typically rejects the notion that it has the power to manifest its desires and intentions through autosuggestions to the Subconscious Mind.

Ironically, this rational prejudice materializes as a subconscious habit of  limiting beliefs, which the ego impresses upon the Subconscious Mind through its incessant internal dialogue. The Subconscious Mind does not discriminate. It is receptive and trusting. Be careful what you consistently tell yourself; it is taken quite seriously. What we tell ourselves we become. Like the High Self, the Subconscious Mind expects the ego to grow up and assume responsibility for its thought suggestions.

The greater challenge, for the ego, is the mastery of its desires. The ego was born into a material world that prizes sensual pleasure and material gain and accomplishment. These are all essential qualities that must find healthy balance in a human life. The maturation of the ego ultimately requires alignment with, and acquiescence to, the wisdom of the High Self. It might take the better part of a lifetime for ego to adjust its will to serve wisdom and right action.

In the meantime, ego and the physical body may suffer the negative consequences of ego decisions, despite the innate ability of the Subconscious Mind to heal many maladies. The Subconscious Mind will not override suggestions the ego makes, even though they may lead to ill health. Such is the imperative that the purpose of a human life is for true ego maturity.

Divine rescue would interrupt the opportunity for human growth. However, the ego can utilize the Divine power of the Subconscious Mind constructively, but it must first know how to find its sweet spot.

For the ego to intentionally reach the sweet spot of the Subconscious Mind it must silence the thinking mind with firm directives. This can begin with several minutes of stating autogenic phrases/directives to the physical body:

My feet are relaxed… My ankles are relaxed… my calf muscles are relaxed… My thigh muscles are relaxed… my pelvis is relaxed… my stomach is relaxed… My chest is relaxed… My shoulders, arms and fingers are relaxed… My back is relaxed… My neck is relaxed… My head is relaxed… My face and eyes are relaxed… My feet are relaxed…

These phrases are repeated several times as the body becomes relaxed and drowsy and the mind sinks into a light trance. The mind is no longer engaged in active thinking and building dramas through attaching to thoughts. The Subconscious Mind is now freed from the barrage of countless suggestions from random thoughts, and is fully receptive to a single autosuggestion.

And with this you have arrived at the sweet spot of the Subconscious Mind; you have its full attention.

State your suggestion calmly, confidently and rotely, repeating it for several minutes as you then slip off into the deeper trance of sleep. Do this every day with the calm knowing that, for what you ask, you will, in Divine Order, receive.

Chuck’s Place: Taking The Pain Out Of Archetypal Bite

Leave a comment

We are all frozen children when our triggers show up…
-Artwork © 2025 Jan Ketchel

When we get triggered we are involuntarily seized by the power of an archetype. Archetypes are the core building blocks of human experience that lie dormant in the ocean of our shared collective unconscious until called forth to define and respond to a situation we encounter. 

The terror of a trigger is a tidal wave of emotional archetypal energy that floods both body and mind with panic. “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!” is an apt definition of the Shadow archetype, as presented by the 1930’s radio mystery series. When we are caught off guard by an encounter, the Shadow archetype—the mystery and danger of the unknown—is activated, and we are in its grip.

Jung defined the shadow globally as everything that we are but don’t know about, which exists in the dark; hence, the term, shadow. Many things that exist in this dark region of the unconscious mind are purposely kept there because they evoke both fear and anxiety, which greatly compromise our stability and ability to function.

We are all frozen children in relation to our triggers. A child state is one of innocence. Shadow shatters innocence. We are no longer safe. We then install the protection of constrictive body armor. Our freedom of movement is checked by insistence of advance notice of everything.  Our breath is shallow and often held.  Our mind is either hypervigilant or not present at all.

The normal child state precedes the age of responsibility. The child, by definition, is taken care of. The overpowering danger of the greater world is held in abeyance until it is confronted by the shadow of the unexpected. When our adult state of confidence and autonomy is overpowered, we too become like children, overwhelmed by the unknown.

If we choose childlike defenses, we are caught in the existential kink of anguish, which contains the emotions of archetypes, generating the illusory belief that we are in control. Truthfully, however, we are like children playing hide and seek. We are victims, clinging to the child state of non-responsibility. We become like Little Red Riding Hood, haunted by the shadow of the Big Bad Wolf.

To defuse the power of archetype, we must first be willing to turn on the light in the shadow. This can be initiated by stating the intent to master the unknown trigger. Here, consciousness is taking a stand and presenting a suggestion to the subconscious mind. Previously, the subconscious mind was given the suggestion to avoid the trigger. That became its marching order and, consequently, an automatic habit.

This intent mobilizes the subconscious mind to channel the High Self, who then arranges a series of experiences tailored to achieve the necessary steps toward mastery. These experiences will show up in outer synchronicities, dreams and relationships. Slowly, the shadow archetype will be refined to reveal other archetypes that are the root causes behind the trigger.

For example, fear of approaching a woman might reveal the overwhelm of the Goddess archetype in all her piercing beauty; or terror of the Witch archetype, who threatens to castrate. Reflection on the terror experienced with an authority figure might reveal an encounter with a God archetype like Kronos, who would not even grant his children life.

The basics of achieving dominion over shadow require that we, as ego, undertake the Hero’s Journey. This will likely require that we revisit the triggers many times, as we gradually desensitize from them. When a trigger actually becomes boring, we are freed of emotional disruption. We are done.

There may be many other tasks to complete, as well, such as talking with or confronting someone, despite our trepidations. Inner mastery of the central nervous system through various kinds of breathing practices and body practices will support challenging tasks and build needed confidence.

Perseverance in all of these practices will eventually lead us to neutralize and integrate the shadow of all of our triggers. With this comes the restoration of a child’s innocence in the personality, coupled with an adult knowing that indeed, we can navigate the big bad world with truth and right action, the essence of love and wisdom.

Reflecting,
Chuck
