Are You Running Your Mind?

According to Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, the eminent pediatrician, “Babies who have a great sense of self-esteem and encouragement expect to succeed in life.” These are babies who were eight months old when requested to put two blocks together do so and look confidently at the adult for approval. This is when these babies have received the appropriate programming and acknowledgment from their parents. On the other hand, babies who come from bleak and chaotic homes go about the same tasks in a way that signals that they already expect to fail. Even when they succeed, they have a look about them that implies, “I’m no good. See, I have failed,” reports Dr. Brazelton.

Emotional intelligence and self-esteem, which is a crucial ingredient for success is shaped by circumstances in the earliest years and continues to evolve throughout the school years. Self-esteem is a direct indicator of the presence or lack of whether you have permission to succeed. How well do you think your self-esteem was as a baby? The major components of EQ or emotional intelligence will involve the ability to be aware of yourself and recognize your feelings. You will be able to make your decisions and be aware of the consequences and recognize when your emotions and thoughts are ruling the choices that you make.

If you manage your EQ, you would be able to monitor your self-thought and catch negative messages that would have put doubts as well as find ways of managing fears, anxieties, anger and sadness. In other words, you would consciously be in control of your emotional states. You would not be a hostage to hidden sabotage from your critical voice. You would also know techniques of handling stress as well as appreciate the values or mental exercise, guided imagery and relaxation methods. The ability to empathize with another is a valuable component of EQ. They will allow you to become aware of how different people feel about things. It includes the ability to talk about feelings and be able to distinguish between what someone says and your own reactions and judgments about it. Being able to be open to appropriate relationships and know when it is safe to start talking about your private feelings.

You will be able to accept yourself as you are and be proud of your strength and be able to recognize your weakness. You could take on personal responsibility and recognize the consequences of your actions. You could be assertive and appropriate as well as function in a group setting. A delusional slave and someone who is enslaved without knowing it. This kind of delusion results from automatically altered perspectives. Inside the human brain is an unconscious mind that can be programmed just like a computer to trigger thoughts and feelings automatically.

The unconscious mind controls perspective templates filters to what you think, feel and see. It controls the willpower that you need to act on the decision. This unconscious mind is easily programmed by an outside source in the early years of your life. Perspective and decisions that you experience will feel like they were born from your own free will. They will feel right and they will feel logical. However, unless you systematically identify and remove your inlet button assumptions, someone else controls most of this activity. These unconscious triggers are all caused by two things.

Assumptions. These assumptions are created and reinforced by stereotypes, generalizations, rules and principles. Any visualization or representation that has a loophole, this process adds to the structure of your unconscious mind. In fact, willpower fuels the unconscious mind activating as triggers whenever a real-time thought or experience automatically associates with an unconscious mechanism. This is a domino effect resulting in numerous triggers all going off of this at once to complete your experience of reality and the experience of free will thought. By turning off either one, they go away.

When you’re unconscious mind may show up, you become conscious. This is a key but to get there, you have to stop all the intent from the usual flow. You can also turn it off by not creating any assumptions. I used to think I was the most logical person on the planet until careful scrutiny revealed how illogical I was and I was compulsively illogical. It’s hard to see this on the surface because on the surface there are feelings to believe we are being logical. It is a good idea to replay your thoughts and conclusions about your experiences in life to see how they look. Ask yourself how clearly you define your conclusions and whether they were correct. Do it from a third-person perspective. This is the only way to see what’s happening in your mind. It is clear to me that someone who is careful about his or her conclusions about things will be more conscious, freer and more human.

For the scary part, the unconscious mind is programmable but you’re not always the programmer since it is created and maintained by subtle and obvious leverage in directions. It is easily programmed by someone on the outside by influencing the subtleties. There are thousands of ways in which someone can influence these subtleties without you realizing what is going on. Look for this in political speeches because then it appears to be an intentional process where the unconscious and conscious activity is simultaneous. The bulk of the programming for you occurred when you were between the ages of zero to seven. A lot of programming also occurs under stress and trauma. When your significant values, beliefs and behaviors that have developed under a significant trauma and they’re normally with you for life. These patterns need to be deliberately erased, otherwise, they will not disappear on their own.

 

Consciousness refers to awareness. When you know or aware of something you’re conscious of it. This conscious awareness is achieved through your sense organs, your eyes, ears, sense of smell, taste and kinesthetic sensations are used to think, fog judgments and make decisions when you’re taking the input. When you truly are in charge of your life, you can live life on your terms. You can do what it takes to experience a level of health, wealth and financial ability that you wish to achieve. If not, you’re struggling with default programming. You’re not truly running your mind.
