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: Ego Is Still The Key To The Magic

With the Creative and Nature anything is possible…

The source of our creative, and therefore healing, power is the subconscious mind. If the subconscious mind believes something to be true, it will do everything in its power to make it physically happen.

The subconscious mind is a completely receptive mind. It receives suggestions that it may then manifest in physical reality. Its suggestive sources originate internally—from instincts, genetic code, archetypal rules that govern the human species and, most prominently, the ego—with its beliefs and internal dialogue of thoughts, which incessantly barrage the subconscious mind with their many proposals.

Externally, the subconscious mind is flooded constantly by a marketplace of messages from well-funded sources seeking to influence one’s pocketbook and  behaviors. What is glaringly made apparent, especially at this point in our political history, is that influence is gained primarily at the subconscious level of the mind, through receiving incessant repetitions of a version of reality, not necessarily the truth of it.

The subconscious mind is the moon, the ultimate feminine magnetic force, both in our solar system and in our personality. In her hands lies the ability to reshape physical reality beyond the laws of Newtonian physics. She can perform true magic. Her power to manifest is unparalleled. However, she turns to her masculine partner, the ego, to initiate her creative process via suggestion.

Firm suggestions may attract her attention to manifest creatively, but beware the karma of manifestations that violate her deepest nature. Be firm and definite with a suggestion, but honest with intention, in order to achieve lasting, sustainable change. Illusions can become physical reality, at least for a short while, but nature demands ultimately the truth.

Once the subconscious mind accepts a proposition, it backs it with the full power of its creative potential. Even the most irrational proposition, such as an out-and-out lie, will be believed with the full force of one’s subconscious mind.

This manifests as powerful emotions that staunchly defend one’s beliefs, independent even of reason. This kind of contagion has its roots in the subconscious mind being in complete rapport with the suggestion it adopts. Oftentimes, the ego, with its capacity for rational thought, can be so swept away by the emotive power of a belief that it either suspends its reasoning ability or adjusts its logic to support the belief it is under the influence of.

These mesmerizing dynamics are in extreme force in the world currently, and, though they threaten the future of civilization, they most aptly demonstrate the psychodynamics of hypnotic influence.

Internally, the ego is our chief navigator for the life we are in. Its reasoning ability, as applied to the physical world, has worked tirelessly to understand and control nature, to provide for our basic survival needs and ability to have a fulfilling life.

Currently, its dominant logical perspective largely dismisses the inherent powers of the subconscious mind to influence material reality. This dominant doubting belief from the ego suggests impotence to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind does not reason, it creates, based on suggestions it adopts. If it is told that it’s powerless it manifests powerlessness.

The ego is actually the main internal influencer of the subconscious mind. Consequently, the subconscious mind may adopt the suggestion that it is not capable to heal itself, despite the fact that it actually has total command of the physical body. In this scenario, the subconscious mind simply passively runs well-established programs in the body, essentially its default position.

To activate new possibilities the subconscious requires faith in its possibility to heal itself. That faith can only come from suggestions it receives from outside itself. In the case of autosuggestion, that source would have to be from the ego itself.

Can a doubting ego inspire the subconscious mind to have faith and confidence to heal, using methods that defy the ego’s strong rational sensibility? Yes! By employing the same rote method of repetition employed by political figures, the ego can inspire the subconscious mind to exercise its latent innovative healing powers.

It is not necessary for the ego to believe it, but it must be willing to state  incessantly, “My subconscious mind has the power to heal.” Eventually the subconscious mind will get the message and become all that it can be.

It is critical to not attach to outcome. Individual thresholds for the subconscious mind to pick up a suggestion vary considerably. Don’t allow doubt to demand outcomes in a particular timetable. Present suggestions when calm and sleepy, as the subconscious mind is most readily available to receive suggestions when the running of daily life is largely offline.

Once an underlying confidence begins to be felt, hone suggestions to achieve specific physical results, such as with desired physical changes and healing concerns. It goes without saying that requested changes ought be in alignment with the greater good of self. Be firm and definite. If something appears cloudy, demand, “Clarity Now!”

Just as outwardly we are witnessing changes of highly questionable morality, we must realize that we too are capable of abusing our power. May all assume responsibility for creating for the greater good of self, and other.

As the doubting ego witnesses the facts of the subconscious mind’s creative abilities, it will expand its limited rational horizons to include the facts of these magical abilities and become a true collaborator with its equal partner, the subconscious mind. Until then, let it doubt, but state the suggestion nonetheless, “My subconscious mind has the power to heal.”

See what happens!

When things are difficult in the world around you, on both a collective scale as well as a personal scale, turn inward and take calming measures to alleviate anxiety and stress. Subtle suggestions to the body to relax and grow calm are often enough to begin a process of relief. Talk to your body often throughout the day in a strong yet gentle, commanding voice, assuring it that it is safe and calm. It is but unconscious matter and thus will take up any suggestions you give it. Your conscious self inhabits the body of matter and it too can shift as you give it commands. With the two in synch, conscious mind and unconscious body, you’ll make good progress in your goal of relaxation and calm detachment. Give it a try!

Sending you love,

There is a part of you that knows that magical thinking is not just hocus-pocus, that there is power in thought. To speak to yourself in glowing terms has an effect, just as the use of your own energy to promote health and healing has an effect. Put to good use the power of your own mind by turning negative thoughts into more than just positive thoughts. Turn you own energy into its vibrant healing tone, the sound of you taking charge. Tune up your vibration with the power of your own intent, your own focused mind, and your own unbending belief in yourself.

Sending you love,

Intent is exertion of will upon stubbornness. When stubbornness exists, despite all good intentions to change, it is the exertion of will that will finally bring about the desired effect. Intend with a good dose of will and your desired change will surely begin making its mark upon your life. Calmly and surely know in your mind that this is true and immediately see the results.

Sending you love,
