Beliefs Manifest…

Beliefs are thoughts that become living things. There is an energy of intent in a belief that attracts matter to it to express its realness in physical form. Even when beliefs are disproven or go out of fashion they nonetheless remain subtle energetic entities, capable of a comeback at any time. Be mindful of your intent.

The time we now live in is filled with old beliefs finding new playing time on the world stage. Inwardly, we are subject to all the ancient beliefs of humankind that lie dormant in the depths of what Jung called the collective unconscious.

Our subconscious mind has access to all these beliefs in the depths of the unconscious. In fact many of these beliefs have become instinctual habits during the course of human evolution. Thus, for instance, if our life were to be threatened, the instinct of self-preservation would likely override our thinking mind and have us act instinctively to save our life.

Some instinctual habits may actually threaten life. Racism can be seen, at least in part, as issuing from a primitive self-preservation instinct that categorizes people as part of an in-group with similarities, or an-out group with many differences. The out-group is seen as dangerous and becomes subject to racist treatment.

Within our psyche we are subject to many old beliefs from our evolutionary history, as well as family history and post-birth socialization. There are consensus beliefs that form a consensus reality. The notion of old age, and illnesses associated with aging, is a strong consensus reality.

What we believe does become our physical reality, even if we don’t know that we believe it. How often do we check in with our age and understand our physical condition to be ‘normal’ for our age. With this thought, we then affirm to our subconscious mind that we are in agreement with the ancient program for bodily conditions in aging.

The wonder of the subconscious is that although, like AI, it has access to all knowledge, it gives absolute preference to the beliefs of the conscious mind in directing its actions, unless an unconscious powerful belief upstages its conscious intent. Know thyself, deeply. This does place an awesome responsibility upon the conscious mind to truly be a man or woman of knowledge.

Don Juan Matus distinguished two kinds of shamans in ancient Mexico: men and women of knowledge, and sorcerers. Though both groups had mastery of the powers of the subconscious mind, sorcerers acted from self-importance and exploitation. People of knowledge acted from the heart, in alignment with Spirit.

To act from the heart one must do an honest inventory of the beliefs one houses in the hidden depths of the self. One must be willing to go it alone if one’s heart is not in agreement with conventional wisdom.

As I experience it, all objective reality is relative. Everything that we believe becomes a reality. If I hear someone sneeze and believe I have been infected, I will likely begin to sneeze and manifest a cold. And that cold is absolutely real! So of course, who could deny its validity?

On the other hand, if we are able to detach from all the hidden beliefs, agreements that were made without our conscious consent, we are freed to introduce beliefs to the subconscious mind that may construct a reality of our choosing. The greater the concentration, the greater the success.

The subconscious mind attaches to the premise most powerfully presented to it. Hence, repetitive affirmations expressed with powerful emotion and supportive mental imagery attract the subconscious to accept its intent as its premise for manifestation.

Our current world leaders are exercising the powers of the subconscious mind through sorcery. We all have the power to free ourselves from the influences of sorcery by becoming men and women of knowledge, believing and acting for the greater good for all.

Be confident and responsible in all belief,
Chuck

We do not mean to cause alarm, but we do mean to shake you awake. If you are not awakened you may find yourself lost in a new world, where nothing looks or feels or acts as expected, where what you once relied on no longer holds up, and where your old expectations of life, of others, and where the world that you have upheld with your strong beliefs and rules no longer shows up for you in an old way. You are going to have to accept what is. But we strongly encourage that you adopt an openminded approach and listen to what we on the other side are saying, for it is in the once unknown and unbelievable that you will begin to find your grounding, your answers, and your future. From the old world there is little to bring forth, but you do have the power of your own breath within you, so use that for grounding, for meditation, for health and peace of mind and body and you will be fully supported no matter what happens.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Chuck’s Place: New Thoughtfulness

Harnessing the innate divine power within…
-Artwork © 2025 Jan Ketchel

The heart of the New Thought movement, the backdrop of  modern spirituality, is the acknowledgment of divine power within all human beings.

Biblical stories provide guidance to access these divine capabilities, which are latent in the human soul. For instance, one’s faith in one’s innate ability to heal is highlighted, over reliance upon outside remedy.  

These powers have been concretely catalogued in The Telepathy Tapes podcasts, particularly episodes 8, 9, and 10 , where both autistic children and adults share their experiences in the ‘heavenly’ astral realm, concurrent with physical life. How ironic that those considered at the lowest level of human cognitive ability are, in fact, demonstrating the next step in human evolution.

In effect, limitations in fine motor access in the physical body of autistic people has been compensated for by powerful access to their soul body, with its highly evolved telepathic communication capabilities, as well as remote viewing, out-of-body exploration, and connections with beings in the finer dimensions of infinity.

The New Thought movement has capitalized on the mind-to-mind ability to project thought to the subconscious mind of self, and other, for the purpose of healing and manifestation. Beyond the obvious destruction of the outer world, that we all bear witness to now, is the demonstration of the enormous capability of one mind to project thoughts into many minds, whereby creating a new reality.

We all have access to that same power, through the use of self-hypnosis, where one’s conscious mind suspends its analytic mind and directly suggests, to the mother of creation—the subconscious mind—its intentions for change.

The New Thought movement has been criticized for its emphasis on ego  desires for material gain, which it is fully capable of realizing. However, one can never escape the cause and effect outcomes of one’s intentions. Material gain at the expense of others will likely result in a nervous disorder of constantly needing more, or an obsession with defending what one continually accumulates.

The father of the New Thought movement, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802-1866), came to the clarity that, yes, telepathically, we are all floating in an ocean of energized thoughts. Our beliefs are the rudder with which we navigate these tidal waves of influential thought, as well as the fish we catch and consume in that ocean of thought. We become what we believe.

We frequently exercise our divine right of manifestation through an internal dialogue that limits our magical being. We unconsciously internalize the beliefs we are fed and unknowingly generate them into physical reality.

We can exercise our divinity at the level of pure sensual delights, or inflate to high levels of self-importance. We can choose personal gain that excludes the needs of others. We can care for others to the extreme neglect of ourselves. We can emphasize our spiritual capabilities to the neglect of our physical lives. We are free to choose and create any of these possibilities. Everything is divinely possible and is a valid part of all that is.

Quimby realized that these divine prerogatives also include access to divine truth. His predilection was to sit with a patient until he arrived at the divine truth of why a patient was in the predicament they were in and then to help them grasp their issue at that formative level. From there, the patient had full access to the changes they needed to make to solve their malady and be in alignment with their divine purpose. The healing balm is alignment with the truth rather than with a  false belief.

Following Quimby’s lead, our present evolution asks us to emphasize New Thoughtfulness. Joe Dispenza emphasizes intense meditation in his healing workshops that provides a path to the divine truth of the pathogenesis of an ailment. This is an expression of deep thoughtfulness readily opening to divine cure.

When we focus on heart-centered breathing, with the intent of caring for our interdependent wholeness, both within and without, we arrive at a deeply thoughtful place of refined love and compassion for all.

When we ask our high soul-self to provide us with guidance from divine intelligence, through intuition and interaction, we extend the range of our thoughtfulness to embrace the divine wisdom within and without. This is the New Thoughtfulness needed to align with the greater good for all, NOW!

Thoughtfully,
Chuck

Chuck’s Place: How To Believe

The power of the internal dialogue…
-Illustration © 2023 Jan Ketchel

The foundation for belief, in this world, is socialization. We believe what we are told. The advertising industry spends billions of dollars a year to attract our attention, tell us what to believe, and, ultimately, control how we behave.

Although we don’t arrive in this world with a blank mental slate, we are nonetheless most influenced in childhood by the rules and judgments presented to us from primary parental figures, authority figures, and peer role models.

Science, with its focus on material proof, has reigned as a standard for believability for a couple of centuries. However, our current modern world is relativizing this standard of truth, with its emphasis upon the dominant role of suggestion in generating belief.

The power to control the narrative, the words used to describe current world challenges or opinions, is everywhere evident. A statement made on X results in a major loss of revenue, as advertisers run for the hills. Books are banned that suggest values or beliefs one disagrees with. I am not making a First Amendment pitch for free speech, but rather giving a neutral acknowledgment of the power of speech upon belief.

Carlos Castaneda emphasized the power of socialization, above all else, to fixate our belief system—and, hence, the world we generate—through shared beliefs with others. Our current world crises reflect a critical breakdown of a coherent belief system. The real current World War is a war of competing beliefs. Beliefs are indeed the deadliest of weapons.

Beliefs are magical spells. Shamans teach that, at a subconscious level, we incessantly repeat internalized beliefs. They call this the internal dialogue that constantly judges everything, most especially the self. The internal dialogue repeats the slogans from our internal advertising agency, which in turn generates our personal truths and how we see the world.

The shamans are consistent with most spiritual practices that encourage arriving at inner silence to suspend the power of fixated beliefs that color our view of ourselves, and the world. From the vantage point of inner silence, we see the relativity and power of belief.

However, as venerable as silence is to spiritual advancement it is not necessary to advance your beliefs. You needn’t even believe in a belief to materialize it. The only requirement is to attract the subconscious mind to a suggestion, even if you don’t consciously believe it. Repeat the suggestion incessantly, like a well-funded advertising campaign. Eventually the subconscious will be influenced and change your world.

Of course, if your suggestion is denying something, like a truth you are uncomfortable to face, though you will experience a shift eventually, you will also generate a latent karma. Karma is merely the outcome of our choices. If we choose to generate an untruth, the effects of that untruth will generate their own suggestions, which will impact the course of our future life. That’s nature’s basic law of balance.

So, what’s best to believe?

Suggestions that promote spiritual advancement experience the karma of fulfillment. We learn how to believe through rote repetition of beliefs that then manifest. As they manifest, even the Doubting Thomas conscious mind gains faith and believes in the power of the subconscious mind to change the world, within and without.

Own your belief,
Chuck

Chuck’s Place: What Do I Really Believe?

Love in the silence of personal meditation…
– Artwork © 2022 Jan Ketchel

Matter follows thought. Thought issues from the mind. The mind is the soul’s seat of consciousness as it conforms to life in a physical body. The physical body is thus an expression of the soul, in a state of dense energy, as directed by the mind.

The mind has multiple influences upon it, the majority of which operate at a subconscious level. The core drivers of the mind are beliefs, those we consciously subscribe to, but more importantly, those we have internalized through socialization in this life, as well as those encoded in our genetics and archetypal inheritance.

Most of our beliefs operate in the shadow of the subconscious, unbeknownst to the conscious mind. We are a species that is highly susceptible to suggestion, which is merely a prepackaged thought presented to the subconscious mind, which in turn gives it material form through the body’s nervous and endocrine systems.

As the subconscious, by definition, is not a conscious thinking entity, its modus operandi is instinctive reactivity. This reactivity registers as physical sensations and emotions, which steer motor responses to actual physical circumstances or mental thoughts. The subconscious treats outer reality and the imagination identically, that is, as facts to be reacted to.

The influencers of modern social media are suggestion-producers, in the form of thoughts and images, that impact the collective subconscious and generate states of nervous activation, emotion and physical activity that then attempt to define and shape physical reality. For example, the suggestion that Ketanji Brown Jackson is soft on sexual predators becomes the internalized, felt to be, personal belief of many individuals.

Thus, many beliefs are actually not personally generated but are extrinsic mental installations that shape the conscious mind through subconscious influence. In such cases, the ego does not exercise its free will to apply consciousness in its ability to reflect and arrive at its own truth. To the contrary, it blindly accepts and follows the tenets of its internalized suggestions, where they are reacted to, as facts, by the personal subconscious.

Beliefs are also shaped by our educational systems that seek to instill a system of morality, along with tools for understanding and utility, that allow for successful navigation of life in a physical body. Thus, even our basic beliefs about the nature of reality are narrowed by the boundaries of what is considered valid exploration.

Medical treatment is largely confined to physical tests and medicines that correct the observable diseases in the physical body. The powerful effect of placebo, which completely reflects the power of a mental belief, is dismissed as irrelevant to objective reality.

Placebo actually gives evidence to the fundamental fact that, as a person thinketh, so do they becometh. Matter, the state of physical reality, is first and foremost shaped by our beliefs, shaped by inheritance, instinct, experience and karma. The royal road to discovering those beliefs is meditation.

To take true ownership of our physical reality we must illumine the beliefs that subconsciously operate within us, and determine their validity. In the still of meditation we observe how thoughts arise and impact our nervous and glandular activities. We discover the subtleties of beliefs upon the matter of our own physical bodies.

As we calm the subconscious reactivity of sensation and emotion, as well as the free flow of thought, in meditation, we move beyond the defining influence of the subconscious and are opened to the spiritual center of the higher self.

From the meditative position of detached observer we enter the subtle realm of energetic reality. We notice sensations arising spontaneously from the energy centers of the various chakras. We are treated to the experience of vibrational reality, where we can ascend into the quiet and calm of heightened spiritual awareness. We discover ourselves as energetic beings. We discover our higher selves.

At the heart chakra we are led to energetic truth and love, the one true energetic reality. Love is the binding glue of the oneness of all that is. All can experience this truth in the silence of their personal meditation.

As well, all that is untrue and negative will arise in meditation, where the opportunity arises to cleanse oneself of the the limiting beliefs, or habits, that have by default, defined one’s life.

Aligning one’s consciousness and free will with the truths of this spiritual, or energetic center, of the heart, sets the stage for manifesting the heart’s true content. Through the letting go of untruths, we clear the channel for pure love to flow through and into our physical reality.

Belief then becomes knowing. Knowing thoughts generate energetic and physical harmony. Harmony is the next stage of our human evolution.

Meditate, meditate, meditate, and all will be well, within and without.

Intent on Knowing,

Chuck
