A Story from Islam (Part Two)

Look Within

Look Within

So there were about 150 people in the room and I thought, ‘I can do this.  I’m real transformed, I’ve done all this work, I’ve got it together.’  So I go up there and I’m sitting on the stool and he asked me just one question, ‘Why are you here?’  I said something like, ‘I’m here to transform myself and gain all the tools I require to heal every person I meet and transform the planet.’

 

A lot of people speak like that, right?  So a box of Kleenex and an hour and a half later I got to why I was there.  Have you ever sat witnessing a person’s resistence?  It can be frustrating.  It’s like, ‘Would you just get to it.’  I’m sitting up there and at one point I said, ‘I’m not safe.  I’m not doing this.’  I was speaking that kind of dysfunctional language then.  I was upset.  I had yet to get to what it was and I could feel people’s thought forms being projected toward me from the audience.  I stopped everything and said, ‘If you think I’m going to undress and be naked in front of these people who have judgment, you are nuts.  This space is not safe.’  So what he did was he had everybody stop and repeat silently within themselves, ‘I stand in my light for your victory, Gary.’  And he did that and within ten minutes I got to it.  So do the thought forms of the room affect the person speaking?  Absolutely.

 

What I finally got to, and this is something we’ll be getting to today, from this grandiose, non-personalized conversation I was having about my outcome for being there I got to, I was there to receive the divine love of my mother and my father.  That’s a really big distance from healing the planet.  When I spoke it, every cell in body resonated because in reality that is why I was there.  I was feeling under-loved and under-acknowledged by my parents.  In reality we all have a similar core wound.  So this is what it means to be a committed listening.  When someone is speaking and they’re having a challenge, rather than judge use consciousness in a creative way that heals and by your thoughts think your highest thought for them – and it is a complete gift to yourself.

 

Presuppositions of our higher consciousness – I’m going to read these off and just plow right through them.  As I read these presuppositions they are other than the truth.  It is a choice of perception.  Did you know that the whole theory of evolution is a complete assumption with no empirical data to back it up?  So these are assumptions.  They are perceptions.  They are choice of seeing. 

 

1.  Our higher consciousness matures in wisdom through our life experience.

2.  Our higher consciousness is directly accessible depending upon the focus of our attention.

 

3.  Our higher consciousness has access to information beyond the conscious mind or the subconscious mind.

 

Presuppositions of our conscious mind

 

1.  Our conscious mind has the power of choice.

 

2.  Our conscious mind has conditioned free will to direct or be directed.

 

3.  Our conscious mind can choose unconsciousness or consciousness.  How many of you know that you can just go right to sleep – you can choose to just blank out.

 

4.  Our conscious mind can suppress or express from the subconscious.

 

Presuppositions of our subconscious mind

 

Our subconscious mind has 1 with 8 million miles of half-inch zeros behind it of possibility.  We use about 10% of our mental capacity.  The other 90% lies in the subconscious.  When we learn how to direct it we become very much more potentialized.  I likened the human condition to a chariot.  The horses are the horses of our mind; the chariot is our body.  The charioteer is our spirit and the reins that direct it is our imagination and our language.  When we pick those up we can direct our lives.  Some of our horses are wandering perilously toward a cliff.  Some of them are just hanging out in a field and chomping away and refuse to move.  And some are just wandering aimlessly.  It’s about directing it.

 

1.  Our subconscious mind stores memories temporally and atemporally.

 

2.  Our subconscious mind takes language literally. 

 

3.  Our subconscious mind plays back what it receives like a computer.  So what you are constantly languaging in your internal dialog and your external speech, your subconscious mind is taking it literally and will feed it back like a computer. 

 

4.  Our subconscious mind responds to feelings.

 

5.  Our subconscious mind responds to repetition very much like a record.  We run this groove and whatever we are habitually thinking that is the reality we will live in.

 

6.  Our subconscious mind runs the body through the autonomic nervous system. 

 

7.  The subconscious mind is a highly moral being and it prompts us to be a highly moral being.  It is the part of us that says, ‘Please don’t do that.’ 

 

8.  Our subconscious mind attracts experiences to us according to our beliefs. 

 

I was asked to teach something about how people get that they make up their own reality.  I talked for a couple of hours about filters and how we make up our own reality and the meaning we give something creates our heaven or our hell.  So I hired a strapping stud and this beautiful woman to come in and strip to Aretha Franklin.  After 3 hours of lecture I told the class, ‘I’m going to provide you an experience.  Take notes and write down how you’re filtering and giving meaning to this experience so that you see the reality you’re giving it actually creates your own reality and many other people will get a different sense and a different interpretation and therefore will create a whole different response. You’ll really get it.’  So the strippers came in and took off their clothes down to a g-string and they left.  Some people thought it was the most amazing experience.  Other people blew out of the training saying, ‘This is the most unprofessional – I can’t believe I was subjected to this.’  The meaning you give something is the heaven or the hell that you make up.  It’s all made up. 

More to come tomorrow.

The Theater Of Change

Change

Change

 

Today, we’re going to do a process called The Theater Of Change.  It’s based on the NLP phobia technique and one of my thoughts is that we are this amazing being that has a whole series of pictures, sounds and feelings via our internal representational systems and that these internal representational systems act as drivers for much of our behavior and how we hold our reality.  They create our heaven or our hell based upon what we focused upon.

 

What we’re going to do is shift the pictures, sounds and feelings of our past.  It’s going to happen by partnering with me. Based upon the focus of your mind and your desire you can make many changes to the history that has blocked you.

 

So those of you who have had in the past seemingly poor visualization skills, you actually have great visualization skills.  Just take the specific modality that you’re representing your experiences from, whether it’s kinesthetic or auditory, give a symbol to what those sounds or those feelings are and visualize that way.  Remember, the subconscious takes things very metaphorically and symbolically.  So imagine you are going to enter the theater of your past.  You wrote the movie, you starred in it, you produced it.  You are the maker of the internal representations of your entire experience from conception to now.  You made it up and you can edit the movie.

 

So when you’re ready to just allow yourself to go into a more focused and concentrated state within yourself just imagine yourself entering the theatre.  Uncross your arms and your legs so the energy flows freely in your body and we’re going to go inside your imagination allowing yourself the opportunity to allow those parts of you that know how to change to begin to change.  And what I’d like to suggest to your collective subconscious minds is that it now has an opportunity to begin to meet its highest prime directive by allowing a process that can be very quick and very powerful to begin to shift and change the unresolved emotions of the past in a way that is easy and comfortable, knowing that the highest prime directive of your subconscious mind is to preserve the body.  And as I speak to your collective subconscious I’d like to suggest to your subconscious to know that any stress caused by unresolved emotions is less than optimal for the human body. 

 

So as your subconscious mind begins to understand the opportunity it has, your conscious mind can begin to drift, drifting to a place of focused concentration where your conscious mind can begin to let go.  That’s right.  Just letting go in a way that’s right for you.  Letting go in a way that is comfortable for you as your subconscious begins to understand the opportunity it has now.

 

  So allow your  body to relax, allowing all the sounds you hear, and the sound of your breath entering and exiting your body, allowing yourself to feel the surface on which you’re sitting, awareness of how your hands, your arms, your legs, your feet are and allowing a sensation of just letting go.

 

And as you continue to focus your mind, imagine that you are now in a theater, a theater looking up at the screen and as you look at that screen, sitting in the theater, imagine a part of you, the observer part, the part of you that’s in control, can lift up out of that body sitting in the theater, and sit in the projection room of that theater. Your able to see your body watching the screen in the theater but your also sitting in the projection room.

 

 And imagine now being in the projection room looking down at your body watching the screen and just breathe and be there in the theater with your imagination.   We’re going to review a film.  This is the film of your life.  You starred in it, you produced it, you directed it.  You’re going to edit it now.

 

 I’d like to suggest to your subconscious mind that all of the positive learning’s from your life, is preserved in that place that you retain for such learning’s.  Allowing all of those learning’s to beautifully and generatively contribute to your life from this point forward.  Allowing your subconscious mind through the internal representations that you have carried up to now to begin to shift and change in such a way that allows you now to have a different set of pictures, sounds and feelings which promote and produce the necessary internal representations to fulfill your life purpose in the optimum manner, according to your destiny. 

 

So imagine now that we’re in the projection room and we’re going to watch the film of your life, the film from conception until now.  It will take approximately 3 minutes to watch this film. 

Now imagine in the editing room as we’re going to review your film that there is a very large white paint brush that is filled endlessly with white-out.  I’m going to ask you to run your film in a moment, because I think we can make a better one.  What do you think?  We’re going to run your film and we’re going to white out all the frames of the film that have had a negative impact upon you and your future, preserving all the positive learning’s from your entire life span of time.

The curtains are beginning to open on the screen, the part of you who controls things  can now be ready to flip on the switch of the projector and allow your  film to begin to roll from conception to now.

 

Are you ready to change things?  Begin now.  Turn the film on and run the film in Black and White only.  Review your life as it happened from conception or birth to now. Paint white paint on the film and start whiting out every single frame that is the history of what has been stopping you.

Do that now and let the film roll until the end which means you have reached now. 

 

We’re going to run the movie backwards.  And distort the pictures sounds and therefore the feelings of the movie of your life.  Only the characters, and the internal representations in this film that you desire to change are going to change, all positive frames of the picture will remain the same.  The scenes and characters you are changing will be speaking backwards, the sounds will be backwards creating a new sound track for the movie, the characters will be walking backwards.  You can place Mickey Mouse ears on each one of them and a ballerina skirts on each one of them.  Also coupled with this you can put an elephant’s trunk on the faces of every character you desire to change in this film. 

 

Are you ready to have fun with the past? Remember the only way the past is still alive is in just a series of pictures sounds and feelings. Start the movie from the present now and run your movie backwards, rewinding the movie back to the beginning at birth or conception and filling in the empty frames you desire to change with all the new characters and sounds and feelings. Run the movie in full color leaving all the positive scenes as they are.  Do it now. Repeat the above process three times by fast forwarding in Black and white adding a coat of white out to all frames of the movie that require to be re-translated and imagined until the movie looks great with empty frames and positive memories.  Rewind the film distorting the characters and making the movie in full Color, almost funny and rewind back to the beginning filling all the empty frames that use to represent your past pain into a fun character filled funny sounding movie of your new life..

 

  

Bring your movie back to the very beginning where you originally started.

The better you imagine the more successful the re-imprinting of the past.

 

Now we going to add more resources to the movie. So as you stand at the beginning of the possibility to re-imagine the characters, the pictures, sounds and feelings, creating a new sound track, creating new characters in bright, vivid color, in the color of your circle of excellence and oneness.  We are going to place the qualities of that circle of oneness and we’re going to create new characters of your past where all of the characters are behaving and acting out of their circle of oneness with the heart, the compassion, the connection and the love of the essence of who they have eternally been.  All characters will be performing out of their circle of oneness and true self.  And your new film will take on the color of your circle of oneness. 

 

Create this new film in bright vivid color with every character acting out of their highest connection to whatever is divine in life.  When you’re ready you will begin your new film based in the color and the qualities of your circle of oneness.

Begin re-imagining your life now in the light of all your finest qualities and run the movie up until now.   Once at now, begin to rewind your film at high speed back to the beginning adding in more color, emotions and beautiful sounds.  Back to the beginning. 

 

Now we’re going to run your film through again.  This time we’re adding Steven Spielberg special effects, the highest quality of special effects.  Thx sound.  Make it three dimensional.  Make wind blowing.  Make symphonies playing.  You are just going to enhance these pictures so vividly, so powerfully with so much emotion into every single aspect of this film.  When you are ready, run the film through again and put in the most amazing colors in the color of your circle of oneness and each character acting out of the script of following their circle of oneness.  Run the film again please.  Enhance every frame.  More powerful.  More loving.  More compassionate.

 

Now that we’ve created new internal representations of your past, let’s bring this process to a gentle close  and allow your attention to return  to the now.

 

Now why and how does this process actually work?  The only way you know that you’re you is by the pictures, sounds and feelings in your head.  That’s it!  You’ve got eye patterns that retrieve your memories and go, ‘remember – this is what happened to you.   What if your eye patterns retrieve memories where all you saw was your circle of oneness flowing through every single memory of your past? 

 

 

The next opportunity we can take to explore our ability to shift the internal representations of our lives, is the concept of time.  In the quantum field time really doesn’t exist at all.  It is a construction of measurement. Time is very much like a river of life.  If we become attached to very little, or avoid becoming obsessed with the mundane, or things we cannot change, we begin to us our focus of mind beneficially.

 When we understand the river of time we will know that all things change constantly and is the only thing consistent that we have. It is not the events that occur in time within our lives that cause the pain, it is the meaning we have given those events that create either our heaven or our hell. It is the focus of our minds that either release us or imprison us.

Time is like a river, and the events in our lives are like leaves floating past us. What leaves do we choose to pick up and examine. For how long…And which do we choose to let flow by us.  The answer to this question will determine our degree of happiness.

Peace Is An Inside Job

PEACE

PEACE

That is a credo I live by and I thought it was worth sharing with you before we discuss the power of language in this week’s feature article. Those of us who study the principles of NLP understand, on a very deep level, that language is much more than mere words we eject into our environment. Language is a force unto itself and it dwells between us, around us, and inside us.

As someone who spends a lot of time traveling and speaking to people all over the world, I’ve come to appreciate the power of language and its ability to transform people. But my real work comes when I am able to help people quiet the dialogue they have with themselves each day, when I can help them then recreate that conversation into something completely realigned with a new dream for their reality.

I am constantly amazed and saddened by how many people in the western world are living in war zone conditions, conditions occurring nowhere but in the grey matter between their ears. Our world seems so chaotic, so random, and so unfair at times that it is difficult to believe we each have the power to effect positive and lasting change. Yet until the individual resolves the war within, there will be war without. And until you align the language of your mind and the words from your lips with the reality you desire, peace cannot be.

So, I think the world really can become a better place, a few words at a time.

Today Was No Exception

How We Think

How We Think

 

During a certification training there is always allot of personal breakthroughs that begin to occur within the group as I teach the large variety of processes of HNLP.  Today was no exception.  In the lecture portion of the training I began to share about the importance of how core events in our lives create pivotal turning points in our perception and our beliefs.  Many of these life changing moments which occur to us at a young age are carried into our adult years and create emotional distortions of our current reality.

 When we carry unresolved wounds left unaddressed and buried they never die. 

Because HNLP is the humanistic evolution of NLP we have develop several processes that can decode the nervous system in a matter of five minutes from negatively charged memories so the memories become nneutral forever, changing personal history.

This is the heart of personal self leadership is to have the self awareness to know how our nervous systems encodes our experiences in pictures sounds and feeling and locks that stimulus into our nervous system for a lifetime until we choose to educate ourselves on HOW to operate the power of our minds.  If you have ever thought that if only those events did not happen in my life I would not have these scares and my life would be better, then please explore the possibilities contained in HNLP and learn the science of stilling the story of what did and did not happen to you and awaken to the possibilities of self leadership through fully understanding how to change your history and discover the power of you.
