Your memories can either bring you to a state of bliss or to a state of fear and horror. How you deal with them is key to how you deal with life in general. Are you often frozen and unavailable? Or are you easily flowing through life, happy and contented? Most people have old memories that are uncomfortable. The best way to deal with them is to face them, to look deeply into them, to discover their real meaning and what they offer you now, today. Memories stick around until they are no longer needed. They offer a treasure, though you may not perceive that treasure as pleasurable but rather as disturbing. Their treasure is that once you face them fully, dismantling their power over you, you are rewarded with a return of your own energy that was stuck deeply inside them. Free yourself, free your energy, free your mind, free your life. In times of deep contemplation of old memories, keep in mind that you are doing just that: freeing yourself.
Abide in calmness as often as possible. Take time each day to not only seek solitude but to sit in calmness, with mind quiet, body still, heart at peace. Maybe just standing still in nature for a few minutes will give you the boost of energy and certainty that you need. Maybe just lifting your eyes to the sky at midday or midnight will bring you the peace and quiet you crave. Maybe just listening to your favorite music, or to something new that brings you joy and peace, will bring you to a place of calm certainty within yourself that will show you the next step to take on your journey of change. All days are equal in their opportunistic quality. Have you taken the opportunity to fully engage what is really being offered?
Solitude is an inner experience of contentment. Seek solitude as an escape from the trials and tribulations of the worldwide difficulties. Seek solitude in nature, in meditation, in setting your future goals, in contemplating your life and the direction you wish it to proceed in from this day forth. Simple steps of self-care, such as these mentioned above may be all you need to start taking better care of yourself, or care of yourself in a new way, a way that is more meaningful and spiritual, and more mentally and physically healthy.
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
It’s not that hard to set a goal and walk toward it. Make it something simple that you want to accomplish and then do it. Make another, as equally simple, and do it. Look back each day and see how much you have accomplished. By breaking everything down into small bites—easily tackled because they do not overwhelm—you begin to piece together a new life, based on what and whom you truly desire to have in your life. If you try to gather up the entire big dream all at once, you may find that it’s too much. So, with patience, bit by bit imagine your dream and bit by bit make it a reality. And don’t forget to keep your positive affirmations alive and well!
