The Law of Attraction: Getting Beyond the Box

The Law of Attraction: Getting Beyond the Box As we become clear of the negative forces (incorrect, negative fear programs) that are keeping us trapped in our box we become empowered to attract to ourselves the desires of our heart. The shell of the “bubble of reality” that we have formed (in a way, this is the reality that we have created for ourselves) vanishes and we gain access to the infinity of reality that lies beyond. From this positive place, we begin to manifest our desires into our reality. What we ask for will be given to us. There are some rules... What we ask for must be positive, imbued with our own positive feelings. The Greatest Miracle Worker ever, Jesus Christ, taught us how to ask: Therefore I say unto you, whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them. (Mark 11:24, KJV) If you are not congruent in your request, or if you have doubts or fears interfering with your belief that you can receive your request, you may need to do more clearing work by subtracting negative programs, in order to congruently believe in your request.

The Law of SUBTRACTION, Think "Outside the Box" and the "Bubble of Reality"

Our past thoughts and experiences create a “Bubble of Reality” within which our consciousness is constrained to remain. This is the “box” we need to think outside of in order to overcome obstacles that we run into. The shell that boxes us in is the negative fear and limiting belief programs that we have mistakenly collected over our lifetime. THESE ARE THE NEGATIVE PROGRAMS that we subtract in order to expand beyond the limiting shell of our bubble. In the previous posts we discussed EFT and NLP fear and negative program removal techniques. There are other “energy” techniques helpful in overcoming negative emotional states such as meditation, and binaural brainwave stimulation. Perhaps most effective of all is prayer, and belief in a Loving God (“I will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.”) AS WE SUBTRACT EACH NEGATIVE PROGRAM a crack in our limiting shell appears, weakening the negative energy forces that hold us back. We then reach a new level of consciousness, as Einstein recommends. Continuing down this path will enable us to progress into new expanding positive areas, eventually breaking free of our shell into a reality of infinite possibility.

turning negatives into positives

The “new math”: you can turn a negative into a positive. We are seeking a “new level of consciousness”, as per Einstein’s suggestion that problems may only be solved from a different, new level of consciousness. For our purposes here that means reaching a positive level of consciousness. With the EFT and NLP techniques described in the earlier posts you are poised to achieve this. WHEN YOU SUBTRACT A NEGATIVE, IT IS THE EQUIVALENT TO ADDING A POSITIVE; thus you can reach a positive consciousness simply by subtracting the negative programs! Applying the EFT and NLP techniques have the effect of eliminating negative programs they are applied to! The negative programs are what constrains us to “staying within the box” as referred to in an earlier post. The negative programs- especially the fears and phobias- keep us from venturing outside our comfort zone. This puts a whole new light on our negative fear, pain and other limiting programs. As we discover negative programs within ourselves we are actually faced with opportunity. These now become our pathway for a quantum leap to positive: as we discover these negative programs and divert them to positive ends we subtract the negatives. Freed of the negative program, our thinking expands outside the box and our consciousness expands. All of a sudden it becomes desirable to encounter a negative program within yourself! This means that you have identified a negative that you can eliminate and therefore become more positive. As you eliminate your negative programs you are enabled to “pump yourself up” with positives, but not before because you self-sabotage your positive intents with the negative programs under the positive strata. So priority #1 is to identify and delete the negative programs. It is as simple (not easy as) as 123: 1. Identify a negative program 2. Eliminate it with EFT or NLP technique (see previous 2 posts) 3. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Start by making a list of all the instances that you find problematic. This would be situations that make you feel uneasy od uncomfortable. Next, apply the EFT tapping technique to that program. If this is a very problematic situation, that is GOOD. The more negative the program you eliminate, the more positive the gain. Finally, now search within for more problem areas. Odds are that you will become aware of deeper issues once you uncover the topmost problem. Continue down through the stack of negative issues and you will finally encounter the initial primal negative program. This is the initial NEGATIVE IMPRINT PROGRAM that you were most likely unaware of, and the elimination of which (by EFT or NLP technique) will propel you into a new state of consciousness OUTSIDE THE BOX!

NLP phobia/fear easy self-help cure

There is more good news for those who are held hostage by pain and fear programs. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) has a likewise fast, simple and effective cure for phobias and fear-laden issues. This technique, known as the fast phobia cure, rivals the tapping technique described previously for fast, simple effective relief. This technique, as well as other NLP techniques, is described at the website http://www.thenlpcompany.com/techniques/ . The strategy used in this cure is to re-live the trauma event, but in reverse! The procedure is to imagine being in a movie theater, and to experience the trauma second hand, vicariously, as it is being run in reverse on the screen. Because recalling the memory of a trauma can be problematic, the trauma victim is encouraged to recall the traumatic event as if it were happening to someone else, remaining detached from the event at first. The subject is instructed to pretend to be in a movie theater, observing himself in the audience watching the action on the movie screen. Thus he is twice removed from the action. Once the mind movie sequence is run in reverse, then the experience is to be experienced first-hand by “jumping in” to the movie for the reverse experience. In terms of our mind model, what has happened is that negative trauma program now has an alternative to ending in the emotional soup once triggered. Previously the triggering of the trauma memory led the subject one-way to the painful conclusion. Once the trauma is experienced in reverse, there is a new program, the “reverse trauma” program, present that gives the mind an alternative choice to the “emotional soup” that leads to the status quo of before the trauma. And as mentioned before, you always and automatically select the most resourceful alternative!

The Psychology of Subconscious Thinking.

The following entry contains an important new self-help technique from the field of energy medicine. To be in the upcoming book The Psychology of Subconscious Thinking. Einstein said that in order to solve a problem that we are faced with, we need to find a “new level of consciousness” from which to approach it. And that makes sense, especially if the problem is within you. If your consciousness contained the solution, and you were aware of it, you would have already solved your problem! You need to think outside the box - the conscious “map of reality” mind box. This box is your conscious awareness, and you need to expand your consciousness. This part of your mind is based on all of your past experiences, it is part of your past and you need to reach outside this box to go forward into your future. Open up your consciousness and expect a miracle! These past programs have us boxed in, in a number of ways: Pain/fear programs. Perhaps the most toxic of all programs are the traumatic episodes from our past that persist and interfere with our present. These programs often operate outside our awareness and outside our control. However, some methods for detoxifying traumas and their phobic responses have recently been developed. Two very simple techniques are from the fields of EFT and NLP. Tapping. This technique, also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), consists of tapping on the body’s energy meridians used in acupuncture and acupressure, the ancient Asian energy medicine therapy points. This 5,000 year old healing science has been largely ignored by mainstream Western medicine, at least until lately, as research and practice has shown it to be an effective alternative method for treating many and varied physical and psychological ailments. The WebMD website has an explanation of these energy healing methods at: http://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/acupressure-points-and-massage-treatment The energy healing EFT tapping technique was developed by Gary Craig, in 1993; this was an adaptation and simplification of a similar energy healing technique being used by psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan at that time, plus some of Gary’s insights as a NLP Master Practitioner. Gary was able to streamline and simplify Roger Callahan’s methodology to the point where anyone, even a child, can quickly learn the technique and use it effectively. And this is all without medical treatment or drugs, and at no cost to the user. (This may be part of the reason that the medical establishment has largely ignored this promising new field of energy healing.) The procedure is deceptively simple; it consists of a two-part phrase that is spoken aloud and (at the same time) gently tapping with the fingers on some easily accessible “meridian” spots of the upper torso. The first part of the spoken phrase focuses on and “exposes” the problematic condition (perhaps a headache) or negative memory (perhaps a fear of heights from a childhood fall). The second part of the phrase is a spoken assurance of self-acceptance (“I deeply and completely accept myself”). This phrase is repeated each time while tapping on nine meridians as detailed in the website below. Gary Craig offers this website for those who want to learn EFT to heal themselves and/or others, or to teach it. This free website, http://www.garythink.com/ offers full information, free EFT tutorials, videos and much more. Gary is a man on a mission to reach out and help others with EFT. He is now working with his daughter, Tina, researching and developing new ways of promoting healing. No doubt we’ll be hearing more from them. So how does this tapping procedure work? Most theoretical explanations revolve around balancing the body’s energy system known as “qi” (chi). This qi flows throughout the body through a network of channels that may be accessed at various “meridians”. While the most obvious component of qi energy would seem to be transmitted by the nervous system, other components are thought to be the skin, connective tissues, the bloodstream, etc. And these are all part of the body/mind/spirit package that is us. Sometimes “blockages” can occur in this energy flow, presumably from some past physical or emotional occurrence. As these meridians are stimulated by tapping on them while focusing on the cause of the unbalance, (the first part of the spoken phrase) and pairing it with the second, self-acceptance part, the qi is redistributed and balanced. In terms of the Hebbian/NLP model of the mind presented in The Psychology of Positive Thinking, we know that negative programs may well interfere in our daily life, consciously and subconsciously. These are the “dead-end” programs that can land us in an emotional soup. They may also be seen as causing the emotional “qi” blockages that occur, and result in the unbalanced energy system. The effect of tapping on the meridians while focusing on the negative program triggers the balancing effect of the redistribution of qi. The negative program is no longer the only player; the entire somatic nervous/energy system gets involved. And pairing the exposed negative program with the second self-acceptance program makes the negative program become a trigger for self-acceptance! This gives the previously negative program new choices to connect to emotionally free alternative programs. And the beat goes on, with emotional freedom. The previously dead-end program now has viable alternative programs to connect to, instead of the emotional soup. You (your conscious or subconscious) now have a more resourceful choice,(and according to NLP's main principle)you always and automatically select the most resourceful alternative!

forming your bubble of reality

How your bubble of reality is formed:

All of your experiences since birth have contributed to the formation of this bubble. These experiences dictated the formation of the various neuron networks/ pathways in your brain. These are the programs that form in the data bank of your brain, your computer. These programs create the artificial bubble, that contains your beliefs about yourself and the world you live in.

As previously mentioned, at first you exercised little choice in the formation of this bubble, experiences just happened to you. Gradually you took control of your own life, and started to assume control for which experiences you were part of. This program creation has continued to this day, and it has filled us with a world of knowledge and experience. This is a vast storehouse of resources we can use to our advantage. Yet too often we dredge up negative painful memories from the past to our detriment. We tend to act as if this past programming is reality itself, but it isn’t. It is all part of the limited past, which is also full of nonsense from our childhood, and the biases of our upbringing.

So you have this Super Computer- with infinite potential. Your mind has no limits. But if you are limited by your past experiences to instantly replay what has gone on before, you are re-living your past- trapped in your “bubble” of the past! Even if your past was very pleasant, it can still be a trap! In a way, your mind has been taken over by past programming!

This does sound like a “Catch-22”: your past has created your present mind-set, and your mind-set programming limits you to the past! How do we get around this? How do we guide our ship, our bubble of reality, to create a world that is more to our purpose, more to our liking? We will look at some “guiding principles” designed to do that, to expand our world in the direction of our own choosing.

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32

Guiding principle number one is to always seek the truth. For us to navigate our bubble of reality through the sea of reality, we need to be based in truth. The closer we come to a one-to-one correspondence between out bubble of reality and reality itself, the more we are empowered to navigate accurately. When we are in sync with reality, we are “in the zone”, and we are unstoppable!

EXPANDING YOUR BUBBLE OF REALITY WITH POSITIVE THINKING


We get out of this catch-22 trap (maybe we should call it “trap-22”) the same way we got into it! We can use the same programming principles that got us into our present state to propel us into a new future state: but this time on purpose, rather than by chance, or accident. We can become more selective and focus on what we want. We can purposefully focus on the positive.

The Power of Positive Thinking

More than fifty years ago, Norman Vincent Peale wrote his classic book on positive thinking. And it is as true today as it was then. You may be thinking, “Here we go again, this is simply saying we should ‘think positive.’” And yes, thinking positive is the key to escaping from the “trap-22”. By focusing on the positive, the things that we really want, we escape from our trap. But there is nothing “simple” about it. We need to find a way to do that!

“Think good thoughts, Peter!”
said Wendy to Peter Pan. Wendy’s advice helped Peter to fly again, at a time when Peter Pan had been thinking negatively.

The idea is to get new input into our mental programming. At one point I got hold of Norman Vincent Peale’s book The Power of Positive Thinking. And I was hooked! I became a positive thinking junkie! There followed a period in my life when I read everything I could get hold of on positive thinking, and motivational literature. I attended seminars, listened to tapes, took courses… and that did help a lot.

Chief among these was a seminar entitled “The Magical Formula for Dynamic Living”, led by Skip Ross. Skip taught that we bear a great responsibility for directing our own thoughts. His “principles of success” deal with maintaining thoughts that are positive and eliminating sources of negative thoughts. Skip says that we should screen out all sources of negative inputs whether they are on the radio or TV, in books, in the news, in the papers even negative friends!

The idea is that if we fill our data bank with positive thoughts, we will be positive. Most importantly we should think positively about others. If we say and think positive, loving things about each other, that goes into our “bubble of reality”. So fill your “bubble of reality”, your little corner of the world with positive, loving thoughts! The idea is to focus on what is good in life.
The scriptures give the same advice:

• Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)
