Today’s
Topic:
Riches and Wealth.
We are, in this Reprogramming Series of Seminars, teaching you the 8
Rules of the Mind at the rate of a rule a week.
These rules are the principles of mind that have been observed by
generations of professionals, particularly hypnotists, who work IN the mind not
just with the mind.
We are not introducing a new
rule this week because we have more to say this week - and next week -
about Rule # 3.
Review: Rule
#1: Every
Thought Or Idea Causes A Physical Reaction. (
For the enlightening explanation of this and discussion about it, listen to or
read 1/06/08 Seminar:
Early Childhood Money Programs)
Rule # 2:
What Is Expected Tends To Be Realized.
( The oh SO enlightening explanation/discussion, see/listen to 1/13/08
More Money Programming Seminar)
Rule #3:
Imagination Is More Powerful Than Reason When Dealing With The Mind.” As
we discussed last week, imagination refers to the mental images built in the sub
conscious mind. The SUB
conscious Self, in the SUB conscious level of the mind sees these images and
because it sees them, it believes in them.
And what the SUBconscious self believes in affects the brain, body and
behavior.
Example:
Describe, in detail, an image of standing on the edge of a precipice to
people fearful of heights. They
know they are not on a precipice, yet their hearts beat faster, their palms get
clammy, sweat beads on the brow, trickles down the temples.
They feel dizzy, woozy, and fearful.
Reason tells them they are not standing on a precipice.
Yet, the subconscious self believes they are despite all physical
evidence to the contrary. Why? Because the subconscious
self is seeing the described image. The
subconscious self believes it is standing on that precipice
because it sees itself there. Imagination
is more powerful than reason when dealing with the mind.
And by simple observation we can see which self directly affects
the body and the brain. Not the
conscious self, clearly.
Panic attacks are governed by
this principle, and P.T.S.D. – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Consciously a person can know she or he is safe in familiar surroundings,
but if something triggers images in the subconscious of a time and
place when that person was not safe - panic ensues.
The subconscious self is there. Images
of a past trauma puts the subconscious self smack into the middle of that
trauma. The subconscious self is
there. And the brain and body
respond. Imagination – what is
imaged in the subconscious – is more powerful than reason when dealing with
the mind. And the brain.
And the body. And the
behavior.
Now what
does all of this have to do with riches and wealth?
Last week
we talked about the differences in wishful thinking, belief, faith and positive
thought. To summarize:
Wishful thinking: Thought that lacks physical action because of lack of faith or belief in what one is thinking.
Belief: Conviction something or someone is true or truthful, especially when based on an examination of evidence.
Faith: Belief in something or someone when there is seemingly no proof.
We gave examples of each of these. See/listen to the 1/20/08 seminar.
Positive Thinking: We defined this as focusing what one says and thinks on what one wants to have happen. Not the best definition as this could be said of wishful thinking as well. So let us refine the definition as focused thought on what one has faith in and believes.
When one believes in something one imagines – images – it as possible.
The subconscious self physically reacts to images the conscious self believes possible, which is what separates positive thinking from wishful thinking.
Conscious self desire, faith and belief do not trigger physical responses in the brain, the body or the behavior. It is SUBconscious desire, faith and belief that trigger physical responses in the brain, body and the behavior
Which is the reason for Dr. Hugh’s famous quip:
“Positive thought at the conscious level alone is like riding half
an ass, it won’t get you where you want to go.”
We said we would give another
example this week of positive thought, which is: Consciously, you want to be wealthy, but in your childhood
you heard or saw things about rich, wealthy people that convinced you riches and
wealth involved being or doing something you did not want to do or be.
Like: “He is very rich,
but he has to work very, very hard for it.”
“I would hate to trade places with them (the family you know to be
wealthy), they have so many problems.” “She
(whom you know to be wealthy) is such a snob.
I wouldn’t want to be her.” “Rich
people are so stingy, that’s how they get rich.”
“I could be rich too if I were as greedy as
(him, her, them).”
It is
likely you have changed your conscious
self thinking and your subconscious self thinking since because you have
seen images – in person possibly and certainly on T.V., the Movies, and in
newspapers and magazines of rich, wealthy people who do not have to work hard,
are not snobby, are not stingy, are not greedy.
So if the
subconscious self has changed its thinking, what’s the problem?
The problem is the subconscious self and
the subconscious mind are not the same.
Nor are the conscious mind and the
conscious self the same.
Analogy:
Imagine your mind as a house. Imagine
there are three floors in your house: A
top floor, a main floor and a basement. Imagine
three people live in this house and each person has a floor of his or her own.
Imagine the top floor person being as involved or uninvolved in the
affairs of the house and the others in it as he or she is invited to be.
Imagine the main floor person has heard there are other floors in the
house and maybe even visits them. But
the main floor person likes to think he or she is living alone in the house so
he or she mostly stays on the main floors and has trained himself or herself to
ignore any noises or glimpses of people that could prove otherwise.
Now the basement person lives in the basement, but must accompany the
main floor person everywhere and remain invisible when doing so, because the
basement person knows the main floor person likes to pretend the basement person
does not exist. The only time the
basement person really has to him or herself is when the main floor person is
sleeping. The basement in the house
is where all the machinery is kept that keeps everything in the house working.
Naturally the person who lives in the basement is the one that has
control over the machinery. The
basement person is supposed to set the machinery to do what the middle floor
person wants it to do, but only does so when supervised directly by the middle
floor person and as the middle floor person rarely goes into the basement and
likes to pretend the basement person doesn’t even exist, the basement person
usually has complete control over the machinery.
It’s a pretty well known fact that basement people hate to make
changes, even desirable ones that would benefit them.
So once a basement person has set a machine to do something, it usually
stays that way unless or until the middle floor person insists on the change.
Your
mind is your house.
The top level of your house is your superconscious mind.
That’s the vibrational energy field where your superconscious self, or
Higher Self, is focused. The middle
level of your house is your conscious mind, the vibrational energy field in
which your conscious self or middle self, let us say, is focused.
The basement of your house is your subconscious mind.
That’s where your subconscious self
- or what the old Hawaiians would call the Lower Self – is focused.
It is your subconscious self that runs the subconscious mind, but your
subconscious self hates change and will only change the subconscious mind
programming when the conscious self or Higher Self insist on it.
Which is
why it is necessary to go into the basement – into the level of the
subconscious mind – and direct the subconscious self to change old
subconscious mind programming.
BUT
– both the conscious and the subconscious self must change their thinking and
keep their thinking changed in order for the new subconscious mind programming
to stick. Such is the complication
of the mind and the self.
A
lot of the programming people pick up in childhood about being rich and wealthy
is easy to change. Just go into
hypnosis; i.e. into the subconscious mind, and direct the subconscious self
erase the old programming and replace it with the new.
A much
bigger problem is changing the subconscious thinking when the subconscious self
has seen no evidence for changing its thinking.
Example:
“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it
is for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven.”
“Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.”
“Poverty is next to Godliness” which
to the subconscious self means: God
wants me to be poor, to be close to God I must be poor.”
Having
seen no evidence to the contrary – it is difficult for the subconscious self
to give up this belief. Therefore
it will resist efforts to change subconscious programs about being rich and
wealthy. So what can convince the
subconscious self to change this thinking?
First one
must convince the conscious self. There
are verses and parables in the scriptures of possibly all religious about the
virtues of being rich and the virtues of being poor.
Does one cancel out the other or is it possible Holy Words can be
misquoted, mis-translated and often symbolic rather than literal?
Example:
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is
for a rich man to get into heaven.
1st Possibility: Jesus
never said it. 2nd:
Jesus was misquoted. 3rd
Quote translated incorrectly. 4th:
Meaning is people can’t take anything into heaven with them other
than their own spirits so people are neither rich, nor poor, nor solidly middle
class in heaven.
Poverty is
next to godliness. Blessed are the
poor. What could these mean?
Your
challenge is to think of what these could mean symbolically – or literally if
you choose – this week. Ask your
Higher Self and if your Higher Self doesn’t know, go higher. If you are willing, email us your thoughts or messages.
We’ll share ours next week.
Also next
week: How to change subconscious
self thinking about things not evidenced and we’ll do hypnosis on the air to
help you change I don’t want to be rich, wealth is bad and god wants me to be
poor programming.
