Chapter 11: Sub-Conscious Programming & Beliefs
About 98% of everyone's thoughts & actions are dictated by the subconscious, but that 2% makes all the difference in the world.
The ancient Atlantean teachings of the Children of the Law of One (CLO), regarding programming of the subconscious mind & belief structures, are quite unique & very in-depth. They cover all aspects of the subject, including:
1) the effects of your belief;
2) how beliefs "work";
3) analyzing your beliefs & programming.
They go a step further & teach:
4) how to change your own program (once you have made your analysis & are ready to make free will choices to alter your beliefs & programming).
Excerpts from various ancient texts about subconscious programming & beliefs:
The Mind is Three
One of the Three Lives Below the Surface,
It Can Be a helpmate who Performs Great Tasks
Or hinder us at Every Turn.
Tend it You must, Like a Garden
Remove the Seeds of Destruction
And Water the Seeds of Life
*
Belief is the Great Key
To the Powers Controlled By the Mind
What You Believe
Is Real
In The Realms of the Mind
The Realms of the Mind
Are Reality
To those Experiencing them
*
The Masses Believe
What Others Have Given Them,
Right or Wrong, True or False.
The Wise Realize This And Are Wary,
And Set Out to Test and Discover.
*
Change Comes Only to the Sincere
The Power of Belief
Belief can be such a powerful force that it can cause war, murder, prejudice, great temples to be built...Your personal beliefs radically affect your life, your future - and they are all within your power to change!
Belief in the Powers of the Mind
In college, Jon witnessed his professor give a hypnosis demonstration - people were so well "hypnotized", that when they were told that a burning cigar was being touched to their palm, blisters instantly appeared...He witnessed far more amazing & strange things at the monastery, such as bodies being thrown like rag dolls by unseen forces.
ZAIN: Your beliefs control & affect the incredible powers of the mind, which dictate, or influence, many things in your life;
...Your choices, and thus your course in life, and what you create in your life;
...Your ability to learn & apply your knowledge;
...Your health (whether or not you foster sickness or wellness);
...Your ability to draw upon, or squander, Inner Strength.
Aspects of Inner Strength are "Universal Life Energy", which bridge the gap between physical & spiritual. It flows through all things, all life, and can be consciously or subconsciously manipulated by the mind. It can heal. It can destroy. (Also called "Chi", "Ki", or "Reiki" in some other cultures)
Far more importantly, your beliefs affect your ability to flow with, and allow to flow, the ULTIMATE POWER - that of the UNIVERSAL SPIRIT.
Belief and the Power of the Mind, and Knowledge
Using your mind to influence your body (or elements) requires a firm foundation; a base of info & knowledge ("roots"). The more know-how you have about mental techniques, and the more you understand the reasons why (and how) they work, the more effective they will be for you.
Assumption: a Key to the Power of Belief
ZAIN: ...Part of having a good FOUNDATION of knowledge, is understanding the way belief works. One powerful key to the working of belief is "assumption". ASSUMPTION functions like a catalyst, and provides us with a means to effect tremendous changes, including changes in our physical bodies. When we assume something, our subconscious accepts it as an accomplished fact, and proceeds to manifest it in the body...In essence, your belief in the power of belief, will be the result & the summary of all the other info contained in your foundation.
Mind & Body, in Search of Unity
Example: New research indicates a very high % of illness may be mentally/emotionally originated.
If a person can become psychosomatically ill, then they can become psychosomatically healthy.
PSYCHOLOGICAL CHANGES CREATE PHYSICAL CHANGES.
The Placebo Effect
Placebo - inert substance (like a "sugar pill") that has the effect of an actual drug - the drug the person taking it, believes it is.
The point here is that in many cases the patients taking the placebo have remarkable reductions or recoveries from physical symptoms. And some of these are cases in which there is no known cure.
The power of the placebo lies in the mind of the individual using it. It is the power of belief, anticipation, expectancy, or assumption, that gives us such an amazing phenomenon as the placebo effect.
Destructive Assumption / Negative Placebo Effects
Study: A placebo substituted for a drug called Mephenesin, produced the same negative reactions in patients as real drug itself would have.
Will the Smart Rats Please Raise Their Hands
The following experiment demonstrates how a person's belief can not only have a substantial effect on them, but on other beings around them also:
Dr. R. Rosenthal involved 2 groups of rats timed progress through a maze. Students were told 1 group of rats were "smart" & faster, and the other group of rats were "dull" & slower. In actuality they were essentially identical, but because students assumed/believed that one group was better than the other, the group of rats they assumed "Superior" did markedly better.
THEIR BELIEFS ACTUALLY CHANGED THE RATS PERFORMANCE.
This type of effect is one reason why good scientific experiments are done in a "double blind" fashion, where even the researchers don't know what the subject is, so they can't influence the outcome of the studies by their own assumptions.
Subconsciousness
Medical research into the effects of hypnosis have substantiated how directing the mind can do such things as block pain, constrict blood vessels to control bleeding, etc...It has also been demonstrated that during an operation, what the anesthetized patient hears can affect their thoughts & actions, and in turn, can affect their health...Modern science is realizing that the subconscious mind has a powerful, previously unsuspected (by them), control over many aspects of our lives, including feelings, actions, and decisions.
The Bio-Computer
Some beliefs are developed by direct experience, but most are "programmed" by our culture, and the family/friends/teachers/peers we have had throughout our lives. Other programming took place very subtly - just by being exposed to people, and their behavior.
Our mind has memory storage that remembers ALL of our past experiences. It is also programmable.
The creation of the subconscious mind's "program" that determines a substantial amount of what people think, emotionally feel, and physically do - they have left to chance! This "out of control" programming is a vitally important fact. We have a mind full of half-truths, which make up the foundation of our beliefs! And we didn't do the programming! And these beliefs, which we didn't program, DICTATE OUR ACTIONS - good & bad! SOMEONE ELSE'S BELIEFS ARE RUNNING YOUR MIND & THUS RUNNING YOUR LIFE!!! Which essentially means SOMEONE ELSE IS IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE!!! Realizing the full significance of this is very important. Once one does, it becomes clear that WE MUST ANALYZE OUR BELIEFS & FEELINGS about things, from as high a state of consciousness as possible, and re-program ourselves.
Finding & Analyzing Your Programming
Reprogramming ourselves can be done in several ways. But 1st, we must know what to change in our programming. But unfortunately, most of our own "bad habit patterns" are negatively subconscious programming that is OUT OF OUR AWARENESS.
Meditation can help. Particularly, contemplative meditation (contemplation). Such contemplation can also help you determine whether a particular belief, feeling, or thought is negative/destructive, and should be removed or replaced.
... Even though someone may give you truthful and valid criticism, because the separate self goes into a stronger "defense mode" in such situation, its basic ego defense mechanisms usually defeat your ever becoming aware of YOUR problems... {Also} when someone criticizes you, sometimes that's just them protecting their OWN problem, and trying to transfer it to you, or it's partly true, but mixed with their own viewpoint, or tainted & distorted by anger, envy, or whatever...But to even see your self clearly at all (through such unclear, distorted, contaminated criticism) you must 1st have transcended your "self" defense mechanisms.
Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who has the Fairest Programming of All?
Interacting with other like minded people on your path can help - especially if you have a humble attitude. Ultimately, interacting with a "true teacher" (enlightened being) is the best way to find & analyze your programming flaws.
Since most people actually believe, live, feel, and think that they ARE their separate selves, then ANY criticism is seen as a threat (thus an attack) and defenses go up & are called into action. YOUR SELFISH SEPARATE SELF REALIZES YOUR INNER BEING'S ATTEMPT TO GAIN CONTROL FROM THE SEPARATE SELF, IS AN ATTACK ON IT.
Remember to be more humble, more receptive, and try to make the process easier on those who are trying to help you.
Thoughts: the Invisible Building Blocks of Our Physical Realities
What we consciously think about has a great deal to do with determining what we make of ourselves, and what we create for ourselves in life.
2 Areas of Thought Process to be Aware of:
1) The thoughts that program our subconscious bio-computer.
2) The interrelated conscious thoughts that construct our physical realities.
It isn't very hard to realize that we NEED to be VERY SELECTIVE about the thoughts we allow to run around inside our heads. Our entire life is greatly the result of our mental attitudes, our thoughts, and resultant actions.
Bio-Computer Domination
You must be concerned with your conscious thoughts, and re-direct them if need be. We also need to be aware of the any thoughts that continually surface from the subconscious mind, without us even noticing them.
Whether thoughts or emotions, they pass unnoticed into conscious awareness, and once there we find ourselves thinking or feeling the thoughts & emotions that came from our programming, without even knowing it. It literally "takes over" our thought processes, and feelings, and can be very destructive in our lives.
Such thoughts can come from subconscious programming THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT A PERSON WOULD THINK ORDINARILY, or if they consciously "thought things out".
Example: What kind of response do you get?
..."That's just the kind of person I am."
..."That's just how I feel."
..."That's just how I was raised."
They don't want to deal with the reasons WHY they feel, believe, or are that way. They have a sign up - SEPARATE SELF AT WORK: DO NOT DISTURB!
Along with the subconsciously generated thoughts discussed, there are also subconsciously generated physical actions. And even beyond that, there are the physical actions that result from what you think.
Setting the Proper Thought Course
Subconscious programming, things you are not even aware of, can work at complete cross purposes to your conscious desires, thoughts, and goals, negating any progress you attempt to make.
To Break Free of such Slavery:
1) DECIDE THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO CHANGE.
2) GAIN ACCESS TO YOU SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, AND REPROGRAM YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE & CONSTRUCTIVE NEW PROGRAMMING.
Programming
The ancient Atlantean teachings of the CLO state that it is absolutely necessary to view & maintain our own programming from a Universal state of consciousness, in order to maintain Oneness with the Universal Spirit while living on Earth. Enlightenment is the best way to have this occur - getting the new programming from God.
Besides analyzing & re-programming all our beliefs, we need to attempt to prevent new ones from getting programmed without our conscious choice. So we must make our analysis & re-programming an ongoing process.
Jon re-created ancient Atlantean vibrational techniques to help others reprogram themselves. This tool is a great blessing (click on the following link): atlantis.to
A New Ancient Tool
Atlantean technology was quite advanced in comparison to ours. Many methods were developed for healing, and conscious raising, that involved a technology based on the understanding of Universal Laws & vibration. Fortunately, 1 of the tools that uses sound, was able to be made again with the advancement of crude electronic sciences. It utilizes specific waveforms & frequencies, that were not possible to make in modern times, until the invention of the electronics capable of specific frequency & waveform generation.
Besides allowing reprogramming, the function of the Atlantean vibrations are to integrate the 3-fold aspects of being: conscious, subconscious, & Universal Conscious - or physical, mental, & spiritual realms.
Goal Setting in the Subconscious
When a goal is programmed into the subconscious mind, its automatic thought generation & powers of influence, all work for you, constantly & perseveringly directing you towards fulfillment of that goal. Combining an ideal or goal with your reprogramming, is very powerful.
Defense Against Unwanted Programming
Unfortunately, our lack of familiarity with the workings & programmability of our subconscious mind has not only created problems in our emotional & personal lives, but more importantly has left us prey to many individuals & organizations {blogger's example: sons of Belial} that would have us see things their way. Even that which would be considered mundane or of little importance (such as advertising) uses techniques of psychological, subconscious, and subliminal manipulation.
Example: Movie: They Live (video clip)
Listen to the MusicMusic has been said to be the closest thing to a language of God.
Music definitely has the power to make you strongly feel all kinds of emotions, from the bliss of touching God, to depression & loneliness, to feelings of lust or violence...The right positive instrumental or lyrical music, can be a wonderful meditation, in & of itself.
From Jon's observations & studies, he concluded that the LESS people paid attention to the lyrics, the MORE the lyrics bypassed their normal conscious mind filters & defense mechanisms, and went right into their subconscious. The LESSON - make sure you know the lyrics of the music you are listening to, read the lyrics if you must. Then choose what you want to listen to, knowing that whatever it is, you are allowing some of it into your conscious & subconscious mind, and it may have effects.
Realizing You Have Been Programmed
We are all already "brainwashed" (and still in the process) because our programming was not voluntarily or consciously chosen. And where have we received our involuntary programming? OUR CULTURES.
Interestingly enough, the word "cult" is merely an abbreviation of the word "culture". But it is deliberately used in a defamatory, inflammatory, and negative way.
Involuntary programming involves attempting to trample our free will choices - just as much as involuntary re-programming...This whole area of discussion involves complex paradoxes. Jon focuses on 1 aspect of the paradox - how & where you were raised...but keep in mind that there is something to genetics, and behind it all - KARMA.
Everyone has been brainwashed. Everyone has been programmed...You may not know it, or want to accept it, but you have been...You are even reacting to what you are reading...right at this moment, partly based on your programming.
The average person does not have a clue to analyzing, or programming their own mind, so they often accept programming from other people...But worse, you are also often programmed by people who really do understand programming, and use it to manipulate you.
"Brainwashing" in the sense of "re-programming" is the common everyday occurrence of voluntarily allowing someone else to alter our programming.
In order to attain true independence of mind & freewill, a person must consciously, deliberately, analyze their beliefs, and choose their own programming.
The term "brainwashing" really came from hideous methods of using force to alter programming under extreme duress, totally involuntarily. Example: WWII - forced brainwashing used by spies/military
Manipulation of the psyche, whether it be by cult, media, or car salesperson is WRONG - make no mistake.
Parts of the Atlantean teachings & this book are there to teach you to take control of your own programming, and prevent others from manipulating your mind.
Some people's programming has something to do with their "karma"...and while a "de-programming" or brainwashing can be karmic, it could also be an attack from the dark forces that comes "out of the blue", leaving you virtually unable to even deal with your karma, and fulfill your original destiny.
In order to change your susceptibility to manipulation & strengthen your independence of thought, you must 1st realize the facts & implications involved. Then, use a teacher, meditation, self-hypnosis, various vibrational techniques, biofeedback, or other means of assessing modified states - you can set about re-evaluating the entire contents of your mind (the source of most feelings/thoughts). You may also want to use the Atlantean Vibrational sounds ( atlantis.to ). Then you'll finally be safe from brainwashing!
A Final Thought
Important Fact: NO MATTER HOW GOOD OF A MEANS YOU USE TO SELF-PROGRAM YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, IT WILL NOT ACCEPT THE PROGRAMMING UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO CHANGE.
You decide your beliefs!
Kindness & Unselfish Love are the only really important things. If these are not included, then watch out!
Experiencing other cultures is also helpful.
