Strong intentions or mantras repeated numerous times throughout the day, like prayers, have a profound effect upon the human body, mind and spirit. Healings take place, shifts occur, and magic happens. Don’t be afraid to implement such practices. Don’t be afraid of change. There is only good to come of it all, especially the unexpected, the unimagined, the unforeseen good that is perfect for you. Trust yourself, your ability to enact change, and trust the Universe as it supports and guides you. Expect good and good will come.
Before long things are bound to change, to shift, because that is the way of all things. You can’t hold back progress, growth or evolution, just as you can’t hold back a raging river overflowing its banks. Prepare for change as you prepare for each day, knowing that nothing stays the same, but prepare with intent, expectation, vitality and energy. Prepare with your words, your thoughts and your prayers directed toward change that is good, prosperous and generous for all.
Remain in a positive frame of mind. The power of your own thinking is undeniable. You prove this to yourself every day in every thought you have, how it makes you feel and how it affects your mood and thus your environment. Become the agent of change that you desire to see in the world around you by becoming that agent of change. Begin with your own thinking. Study how your mind wanders so that you get to experience its rapid decline into doom and gloom. Take control by filling it with positive words, and then watch what happens. You will be amazed!
Despite what your eyes see and your ears hear about the state of the world around you, keep your focus on the positive, within and without. The more positivity there is in the world the more the negative will recede. The more you are reminded of the magical powers of your own spirit and your own mind the better off you will be. A positive attitude is responsible for great healing, great change, and great progress in the direction of the good. Be a part of the change that is worth working toward. Keep a positive outlook, speak positive words, and, most of all, stay open to receiving and giving the goodness of heart centered positivity.
The subconscious totally accepts and manifests the beliefs of the conscious mind. If we believe we are a good person, the subconscious manifests that belief in the positive emotions we feel toward ourselves and the kinds of people and positive opportunities that are drawn to us in daily life.
Carlos Castaneda lamented the impact of negative conditioning upon the vulnerable psyche of the child, who absorbs, without any available means to fend off, the words and beliefs of its caretakers. According to the shamans of ancient Mexico, these internalized elemental beliefs are assembled and fixated at a point of consciousness, aptly called the assemblage point, that orients our perception and interpretation of ourselves in both inner and outer reality.
Internalizing the theme of being bad in childhood can pervasively fixate our assemblage point upon this belief, such that it serves as our basic premise of self throughout all of life.
The fixation of the assemblage point is so rigid that shamans have for centuries used psychedelics to allow their habitual fixation of the assemblage point to be temporarily suspended, freeing up their ability to journey deeper into their human potential.
This form of soul exploration, or retrieval, is not without its risks, as the shattering of ego consciousness by a psychedelic can lead to difficulty in fully returning to the consciousness of everyday life, or hamper the integration of knowledge gained in heightened awareness with ordinary reality.
Carlos Castaneda recommended alternative methods of exploration that allow the grounding and reasoning abilities of the ego to support deeper exploration and positive integration, enabling one to establish a new, positive position of the assemblage point.
Intentional autosuggestion provides a powerful interaction with the creative powers of the subconscious mind that can greatly enhance the realization of our innate potential. By consciously establishing a new basic premise as a suggestion to the subconscious mind, we can fundamentally shift our experience of self and world.
Though the subconscious does not engage in rational thinking, it powerfully accepts a basic premise presented to it by the conscious reasoning mind as fact, and rationally goes about demonstrating the truth of that premise in its manifestations based upon it. The premise is the seed planted in the fertile soil of the subconscious.
The action, or law of attraction, exercised by the subconscious, is to draw to it from the soil the vital nutrients needed for it to grow into physical beingness, as solid proof of the validity of the major premise planted in its soil. This fertile soil is the divine energy and infinite intelligence the subconscious attracts as it fashions, in physical form, the intent of consciousness.
Thus, if your new major premise states that “by day and by night the infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind guides, directs and prospers me spiritually, mentally, physically and materially,” abundant change, in accordance with this suggestion, will begin to materialize in your life.
Notice that this intention does not try to engage, overturn, or argue with a negative habitual premise, such as, “I am bad and unworthy.” Any such thought activity places attention upon the older habitual position of the assemblage point, which draws the subconscious back to that fixation, and, hence, to that old state of being.
To the contrary, recitation of this new basic premise causes the soul, through the attractive power of the subconscious, to pave new neuropathways in the brain, releasing hormones and neurotransmitters that generate the emotions and sense of self intended by the autosuggestion.
This divine intelligence also draws people, circumstances and opportunities into our life that further its manifestation in the material reality of life. We begin to notice these changes in mood and energy level, as well as in events that occur in the physical self, in career and social life. As we take notice of these changes, our faith in the power of the subconscious deepens, which in turn intensifies the realization of the autosuggestion on all levels of being.
Though we may occasionally (or often!) find ourselves suddenly shifting to an older habitual position of the assemblage point, the trick is to not engage it but to quickly state our new basic premise. The word truly does become the flesh.
Remember, we arrived at our early basic premise of self through the constant repetition of words spoken to us. To shift to a new basic premise of self, we must constantly saturate ourselves with the words of our new basic premise.
As always, no attachment to the outcome. Only the subconscious mind knows how to truly attract what is needed. Just keep reminding it of your new basic premise. State it, let go, and let the magic materialize.
