Tackling Your Own Archaeological Dig

When we start digging into the memories stored in the subconscious, it becomes obvious that our challenges today have their roots in choices and decisions made previously. Some teachers feel that if you go straight to God, the memories, karma that is considered bad, will automatically be removed without your going through therapy sessions or deep introspection. This does happen in rare cases. One time I offered a workshop on the power of the Holy Spirit. Many people came up to me to be touched and their healing were obvious to them as well as observers. I remember two men who had come together and their comments. They said that it felt like they were being washed clean...the feeling that all hindrances and impurities had dropped instantly away was their personal experience. They were obviously ready.

It is important that we take personal responsibility in shaping the course of our lives and the condition of the world around us. We do effect every soul we encounter and in this way we are 'co creators' in the unfoldment of destiny. Today, there are many people studying subjects that will help with soul progression. It is one thing to know, and quite another thing to put into daily practice what we do know. This is why a good teacher will suggest that a seeker have his or her own ideal and live life doing everything possible to reach the ideal. People usually blame others for their problems. Not so, we inherit most that happens from ourselves. For those of you who live with challenging personalities, try minimizes their faults and magnifying their virtues.

For you to be able to access your personal hidden records, realize that you must be sensitive and that it is difficult to interpret the records. You would have to be in a detached state of mind, your body at peace and unified with all parts of what you refer to as your self. Using your will and asking a specific question can be successfully done under the right conditions. The information must come through form. The form could be a dream, a vision, an intuitive thought, looking at a scene or hearing something that stimulates the hidden. The records are everywhere and will manifest through your consciousness by means of the five senses. Pay attention to what you say, hear, think and write. Why do you want information? Be very clear when you ask for it. The odds are the answers will come in symbolic form and require interpretation. It is your subconscious that gives you the symbols required to bring the information to the surface in your mind. We are essentially archaeological digs. Persistence and pure intent will get you through the layers of the past and find their way to the surface.

Self-Suggestion

Belief and desire mold the present body and experience, as well as future experience. Creating new and positive mental forms will create a brighter future. The power of the mind works on its own level whether it is physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. A trained mind is the finest part of your mind thinking. I have found that it works to my advantage to analyze and seek meaning for what is being presented to me. To question both the inner and outer experience requires discernment. It is beneficial to question everything both visible and invisible and simply not accept or assume that it is absolute truth. Our confidence grows when we remember to rely on the intuitive part of the mind. Nothing happens by chance.

We evolve through discipline and effort. Theoretical knowledge does not transform us. We destroy or build our world through our disposition. It is up to us to take responsibility for creative action. Will power needs to be developed and applied, otherwise we will not follow through to our goal. A mental reframing must be used as a bridge to an elevated state of consciousness. To master the lower world of matter, we must learn to think for ourselves and hold a strong center in our life. Directed will can be used as a creative power. An excellent tool is self-suggestion.

Self-suggestion is an effective tool to use upon awakening and before retiring for the night. Repeat a statement of intent either out loud or mentally. This is called reframing or reprogramming the mind. The suggestion is offered to the subconscious part of the mind and the super conscious part of the mind. Keep the goal alive and in front of your mind. If your thoughts and actions are the opposite of the affirmation or mantra, it will be either neutralized or negated. Repetition is the secret of success. Take a great interest in what you are creating. What works is to keep the attention fixed long enough for a new habit to manifest. It is similar to exercising and developing memory in weakened muscles. Self-suggestion is encouraged because it helps develop will power. When an image or idea is placed into the mind, give it a command to act in a specific way. It will impress the mind. Remember to do it and keep at the practice until you know with a certainty that you have actually accepted the goal in your mind.
