Questions that formed the Theme of this Week

A couple of questions that have been the theme of the week with clients go like this: 

Who is in control?? Who did make up all the beliefs that we got programmed/bought-up with? And if there are three levels of the mind, the conscious, subconscious and superconscious, are “we” were in control of the Super Conscious Mind?”

Then another question that was about the mind and the power of the mind and can it be trusted, is a very, very relevant one… and its our limiting belief systems that prevent the true source of consciousness its wisdom and insight – which is in fact our own.

 ….. I think if we really want to begin to comprehend who or what is in control of us and our world/universe in general, then the question that you really want to ask is ‘Who” is it that is observing the existence of a “We”?’

 That which can be observed is not who we really are. To look into the mirror and say that’s who I am that reflection there, is not who you really are. That you are a hypnotherapist, daughter, mother, wife, friend, lover brother, husband, son, etc…. is not who you really are. That you are kind, loving, gentle, giving, selfish, angry, frustrated, etc….  is not what you really are. And yes you have emotions and feelings, but you are not those emotions and feelings. And yes you have desires, but you are not those desires. To think that we are what can be observed is one of the biggest misconceptions an analytical, or any, human being can make.

So to believe that I am my beliefs or that my beliefs will keep me safe/secure/effective/productive/loved/etc is also a misconception……

 The concept of growth seems to come from an ability to transcend and include all that occurs in life and to wake up to it as we go along. So we transcend (move through and beyond) the conscious mind as we slow down our brainwave activity, so that we can access the mickey mouse programming of the sub conscious minds patterns, work our way through those and then transcend them too, so that we go through them and beyond to the super conscious mind….. and as we transcend and go through the Super Conscious mind and comprehend “I Am-ness”, there is a continually evolving merging of Oneness with the Collective Consciousness…. the collectiveness that does not enter into the stream of time that could be called Consciousness itself, or Spirit, or Source, or God.

This means that God is within us, through us and beyond us.  In other words, through shifting our perspective from a first, to a second, to a third person perspective, we are able to sense and feel the God/Source/Spirit as being WHO we are, an external aspect of who we are, and a part of everything and all that is of which we are also obviously a part.

There is No-body out there that is going to save us from ourselves. There is No-body out there that is going to save Mother Earth for us. There is No-body out there that is going to judge or condemn you if you do or don’t believe that there is No-body out there. As Andrew Cohen would say, “We’ve all flown around on enough aeroplanes to know this to be true, there is Nobody out there, there is nobody out there”. It is just us and it is up to us. We have to wake up to this fact URGENTLY which means NOW, right NOW.

And as hypnotherapists we work in the doorway to consciousness, the door way to the Soul, to Spirit, to Source, to God. To not observe this is not only neglectful and un-intelligent, but it is simply unconscious.

WE are ALL one and as One, we are are Consciousness becoming aware of the Evolution of itself. God/Source/Spirit is a moving target, for God too is evolving. And who would really want a God that was not evolving??  God is a concept tho, not an object. Just as Santa Clause was a myth so too is God. But look at all the beauty that came out of Santa Clause….  Apply that exponentially to the concept of the Bible/God/any other teaching (they all say the same things) and we have a beautiful set of myths from which we can learn the lessons of Consciousness and maybe even still save Mother Earth and the Human Species…

 Soooo… that is what I believe is in Control. That which does the observing of all that is, and can be comprehended through the continuing process of Evolution, as a state of “I Am-ness”. It is that part of us that is formless, that doesn’t have a birth or a death, that part of us that is not seeking, has never been born and will never die. That part of us that just IS… and it is evolving. To have a belief system about something that is a moving target, means our belief systems too need to evolve.

Now our job is to grow so that we can take on as many different perspectives as we can so that we can better comprehend what this means in terms of the Higher Good of ALL.

So in Answer to the question, can I trust ANYTHING that my mind tells me? …. I feel we need to shift from our minds and into our hearts and go with what feels right. If it reasonates with you, then its right for you. And if it is right for you then it is right for those around you because you are in the flow of your life which means others around you can also be in the flow of their life. Have you ever tried to be around someone who was consistently trying to do a job they hated? They’re not the free, high vibrational, light emanating kind of spirit you are drawn to be around are they. Everyone wants to be around those people who are inspiring and joyful because they are in the flow of their life, doing what makes their HEART sing and spreading light and love in all that they do. Thats what I trust.

And just one more thing… I used to think I had all the answers too…. now I’m quite sure I don’t have a clue about anything! And everything I say up there is exactly true unless of course its not… its just what resonates with me right now as I continue the journey to comprehend what it REALLY means to evolve and grow.
