Far out in the future lies the peace you seek, the world of change you long for. Do not give up hope for this peace and this change. Stay committed to a new world in everything you do. Keep your words positive and your attitude open to this peacefulness that is to come. Envision it every day, creating it in your imagination. The more you do this the more it forms and the more it intensifies in reality. As we say often in our world, let come what may but make what comes what we want. In other words, you form your own reality, so get to work.
The chakras are the seven energy centers in the human form that ascend from the root to the crown of the physical body. Each energy center radiates vibrationally at an increasingly higher frequency, from the sacrum, the lowest and densest vibration, to the crown, the highest and lightest vibration at the top of the head. Each of these energy centers contribute to the enhancement of suggestions presented to the subconscious mind. Here are their core qualities in ascending order:
Sacrum: Security
Genitals: Sensuality
Solar Plexus: Power
Heart: Love
Throat: Expression
Pineal Gland: Intuition
Crown: Infinity
We live in all these dimensions simultaneously, though we may usually emphasize only one or two main energy centers. For instance, if we are largely preoccupied with concern about, or fear of, survival, we live primarily in the first chakra, the densest energy center, akin to the solidness of life in a physical body.
If we are obsessed with physical survival, which translates to negative suggestions to our subconscious mind, we will manifest physical conditions of lack, and perhaps ill health, in keeping with our mental and emotional preoccupation of mind.
The major teaching here is that we manifest what we think, positive or negative. Practical wisdom instructs us to emphasize the positive so that we manifest calmness and confidence, and so that we attract physical safety and abundance into our lives.
If our thoughts state that we want safety and abundance, but we don’t really believe it possible for us, the suggestion we are really delivering to the subconscious mind is to manifest these negative suggestions. Always better to focus on the positive outcome that you seek rather than even reference the condition that you don’t want.
For example, “I intend good health and wealth” versus “I no longer worry about health and finances.” The phrase, “no longer worry” puts emphasis upon a negative state of worry, whereas the phrase “intend good health and wealth” is completely clear and positive, creating no confusion for the subconscious mind. Positive suggestions only. Good health and wealth also tap into the sensuous desire and needs of the second chakra.
Stating a suggestion is an exercise of personal power—the third chakra. If we allow the mesmeric whine of negative thinking to dominate our suggestions we spend our personal power generating ambivalence and powerlessness, the self-defeat that negativity calls forth. Let suggestions be constructed toward positive creation versus cessation of negative thinking.
Do not enter into battle with negativity; to do so is to flood the subconscious mind with negative suggestions. Allow negative thoughts to exist; simply don’t play to them or give them permission to be authors in the story of your life. As the wisdom of the I Ching suggests, the best way to combat evil is to make energetic progress in the good, or as Christ would suggest, raise your vibration to love of versus hate for your enemy.
This is also the essence of the Buddhist suggestion of detachment. Let all thoughts live, but exercise your free will to give attention to positive outcomes only. The less we emphasize negative thoughts the less they are attracted to us. Let them go elsewhere to be lived, but offer them the suggestion that they too can evolve into grander stories.
Engaging the heart chakra in a suggestion imbues it with the highly radiant energy of truth, love, wisdom and compassion. Thus, for example, I might add to my previous positive suggestion, “With deep gratitude for all the gifts I am given, I intend good health and wealth.”
The “gifts I am given” also references the intuitions or direct knowledge we receive that issue from the sixth chakra, at the pineal gland. This knowledge fortifies the conscious mind’s faith in its suggestion of gifts being given based on strong intuition. This suggestion is far more powerful than contra autosuggestions that might play to ego doubt.
This construction employs the positive use of power to intend, plus the loving energy of gratitude, to deeply fortify the energetic impressiveness of the suggestion to the subconscious mind.
I might further expand the power of this suggestion by calling in the immortal connection to Infinite Intelligence at the crown chakra, as follows: “Infinite intelligence, the essence of my spirit, knows how to heal and provide for me. With deep gratitude for all the gifts I am given, I intend good health and wealth. I trust in the Infinite Power of Infinite Intelligence to manifest my intent with Divine Wisdom, in its own time and in its own way. Thank You.”
Finally, we engage the throat chakra to express, via reading or memorizing aloud, the suggestion we have constructed. Your suggestion may be repeated in many circumstances throughout your day.
I highly recommend using a quiet time, perhaps before sleep—when consciousness naturally prepares to go off into infinity in sleep—to be in communion with our spirit at the crown chakra.
The use of autogenic phrases to release attention from physical attachment opens one to the higher vibration of spirit and direct access to the subconscious mind. I also enjoy the use of breathing techniques, from yogic pranayama to Wim Hof, that emphasize some retention of the breath to physically join the spirit with the human self of the body in a truly holy communion.
The subconscious mind is now fully able to take in our suggestion as we drift into hypnagogic sleep. Repeat it calmly, several times.
Whatever be your intent, may it be positive and imbued with the force of all the energy centers available to you, now.
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
Every day is an opportunity to shift your perspective, to allow yourself to let in some new information, some new thoughts, some new creative energy. To shift is simply a matter of saying something new and encouraging to yourself, for instance. Perhaps you notice that you most often think negatively about yourself and your life. Why not insert some positive affirmations into your thoughts, change what you say to yourself so that you only hear that which is helpful, positive and endearing. Why not give it a try today. And when the old negative words pop up, as they surely will, gently push them away with a few positive thoughts. Keep doing this and before long you will notice that most of your old negative thoughts are gone and the new positive ones have taken their place. Isn’t that wonderful!
It has been suggested that the fall of Atlantis parallels the state of our current civilization. Plato introduced the story of Atlantis, crediting its origin and transmission as having been handed down from generations of ancient Egyptian priests.
Atlantis was a spiritually and technologically advanced civilization that lost its moral compass as it exercised its psychic powers in the form of black magic. In modern terms, black magic could be defined as the use of the subconscious mind for malevolent purposes.
The karma of such abuse of its powers was the total destruction and sinking of this island continent into the Atlantic Ocean around 10,500 BC. The modern psychic, Edgar Cayce, has confirmed the validity of the downfall of Atlantis.*
Judge Hatch, as channelled by Elsa Barker in 1916, observed that many old souls from Atlantis had incarnated back into human form and would continue to do so in our modern era, particularly in America where new spiritual ideas so quickly can take root. America is thus a major player in the karma and interplay of psychic powers exercised through both black and white magic.
Black and white magic are distinguished by the quality of the intent behind the suggestions one poses to the subconscious mind. Black magic refers to suggestions issuing from self-serving, narcissistic intent. White magic refers to suggestions in alignment with the purity of truth and love, directed to the greater good of all.
The power of suggestion, as applied to the subconscious mind, is the most influential psychic power of our time. The birth of autosuggestion in the early 20th century, from its older parentage in hypnotism, empowers any person to potentially heal themselves, to manifest in physical reality any changes they have imagined and desired from the subtle dimension of their mind, and to telepathically influence the subconscious mind of others.
What is known as distance healing, whether through healing prayer or directed healing intention for another, is actually the power of the mind to telepathically present a healing suggestion to the subconscious mind of a person in need. If the subconscious mind of the recipient is impressed by the suggestion, the desired healing may result. Ultimately, though we might have a healing intent for someone else, actual healing is a function of their own subconscious mind choosing to actualize the suggestion. Healers intend healing but we ultimately heal ourselves.
This is the same mechanism as in the placebo effect. If someone believes the suggestion that they will be healed by the ingestion of a pill, the subconscious mind may indeed generate the expected healing through its power to influence physical reality.
Our thoughts and beliefs are incessantly sending suggestions to both our own subconscious mind and that of others. What the world is presently experiencing is a plethora of negative, self-serving suggestions, the stuff of black magic. These have galvanized mass movements of genocide, displacement of peoples, appropriation of people’s property, and a worldview of hatred and self-interest toward all others.
The outcome for the advanced but self-serving civilization of Atlantis warns of similar consequences for our modern world. Fortunately, the advance of autosuggestion empowers every individual to utilize the power of white magic for the health and healing of our planet, and the human race as well.
For white magic to be effective, our intentions must be rooted in love. Love knows only one race, the human race. Love spares no one. Love loves all, even those who hate, pillage and kill. No one is excluded from love’s purview. When I think of those I’m most tempted to hate, my conscious mind states, “May they discover love for the greater good of all.” This is my intention for all burdened with the passion of hate.
Let not my emphasis upon love suggest that any soul should escape the justice, or karma, that must necessarily be meted out upon all for the choices they have made. How helpful could it possibly be for one to be spared the learning opportunity of feeling the effects or outcomes of the causes they have generated? But let the decision to not help someone come from love of the truth, as well as the intent to allow them their full opportunity to discover what they need to learn, without interference.
If we indulge hatred, we invite black magic, through the power of thought, to influence those who surround us in our interconnected family of One. Responsible use of our thoughts and feelings positively impacts the suggestions we impress upon the subconscious mind of our human race.
Foundational to the use of black and white magic is the power of the subconscious mind to change the world based upon the intention of the conscious mind. It is my intention that all humans will acquiesce to the truth of the heart in making their suggestions to the subconscious mind.
Never be discouraged. We simply have no control over how the subconscious chooses to realize our dreams. If we get angry or push too hard, we may find ourselves unwittingly tempted into the mood of black magic. Of course, this then gives us the opportunity to feel compassion for those who similarly struggle.
Exercise your psychic power of suggestion by keeping love, truth and the greater good of all in mind. Express your gratitude for this power and intend the patience needed to stay the course.
That’s white magic, Chuck
