Why Different Layers of Consciousness?

2008-11-18T18:55:00Z

Different Layers of Consciousness Hypnosis is a fascinating topic and I am full of it because I am just finishing an eight week course in becoming a certified hypnotherapist. The average person [should we ever find her] is fairly ignorant of the actual qualities of hypnotic states. My own way of describing it is in the context of ‘mobility of consciousness’. The idea is that we can move around in our own consciousness to various different layers. And each layer has different strengths and weaknesses....(read more)

We Create Our Own Reality

2008-11-16T23:56:00Z

You Create Your Own Reality - 101 All the ‘dead guys’ are adamant about this point, we create our own reality. It is as though this is an idea whose time has come. Science, weather, cartoons, presidential elections, they all point to the fact that we create our own reality. It was Seth, channeled by Jane Roberts who first coined this phrase but it has grown to define a movement in consciousness that is only gathering strength in this new millennium. Just being ‘alive and kicking’ steers our reality...(read more)

Weight Loss Protocol

2008-11-15T00:21:00Z

Hypnosis Homework - Weight Loss Protocol - November 14, 2008 - John Hawkins My homework is to create a protocol for the hypnotic treatment of weight loss. Of course, this raises many, many issues. Only a few of the most salient of which can be addressed here. The basic plan is to use Krasner’s lovely process, including the Benefits Approach right up front for developing SMART suggestions with the client. If it seems appropriate, we can use age regression for the therapy. Desensitizing the ISE and...(read more)

Embracing the Feminine

2008-11-11T21:05:00Z

Email comments on a dream about transition and acceptance Excerpt from original email: The strongest feelings during the dream were ones of opposition and acceptance all at once, and the warmth and close feelings toward my bride. She seemed to exist in an emotional sense, though I can't recall any of her features. I'm open to other interpretations as well, in case anyone thinks of any. Hi [correspondent] As I re-read your account this afternoon a couple of things popped up... There is an obvious...(read more)

Moving Around In Consciousness

2008-11-04T19:28:00Z

Moving Around in Consciousness This idea has crystalized for me just lately. I have previously written about this as ‘mobility of consciousness’ and I thought a diagram might add a nice layer. This was brought into focus for me again recently by a synchronicity last Thursday. I was getting ready to go to the Kris radio show I co-host with Mark Bukator, Reality by Design . I happened to read a short passage in Jane Robert’s book, Psychic Politics, describing her idea that the state of consciousness...(read more)

Mobility of Consciousness

2008-10-31T19:33:00Z

Mobility of Consciousness The ability to consciously move around within our own consciousness is emerging for me as one of the key skills for thriving in this amazing Shift in Consciousness that's said to be going on all around us these days. As I see it, being able to move at will to a suitable layer of consciousness, and then manipulate our energies from that vantage point, this must be the premiere talent, skill and most useful ability to acquire in this changing world. The reason I am studying...(read more)

Dancing with the Neo-Conscious

2008-10-26T11:23:00Z

(This is my reply to a correspondent who asked about how my activities have changed due to recognizing that I 'own' my entire universe in the sense that I am creating it.) Hi [correspondent] Thanks again for your input and interesting questions... Lately I have been fascinated by the idea of putting some of the ‘dead guys’ basic principles together and seeing what kind of implications and even corollaries come up about what our life can be in this dimension of consciousness. Most of the channel sources...(read more)

Why Appreciation Works

2008-10-24T02:28:00Z

Why Appreciation Works Kris gave a very helpful explanation tonight for why appreciation, or thanking your problems, works. He and other 'dead guys' have told us often that appreciation is powerful medicine. If we can find something to appreciate in any situation - it doesn’t even have to explicitly be about ourselves. If we can find a way to appreciate ANYthing in a difficult situation, the whole thing will turn on a dime in response to the change in energy we are expressing. Kris explained that...(read more)

Putting YCYOR Ideas Together

2008-10-22T17:14:00Z

Putting a Couple of Ideas Together In the interests of integration, I have been putting together some of the basic ideas of ‘you create your own reality' thinking. It's fun to extrapolate some of these ideas and see what they look like in combination with each other. The basic idea, obviously, is that we each create our own experience of reality right down to the molecular level. [Whether we literally create our own reality, or merely create our experience of our reality, or it's only our perception...(read more)

You Can’t Change What You Don’t Like [!]

2008-10-20T21:47:00Z

You Can’t Change What You Don’t Like... Wise folks everywhere talk about acceptance and how important it is, and I am all for acceptance in my life. Kris has recently offered a practical new take on this idea. Acceptance is one of the keynotes of all new age metaphysical philosophies. And I am sold on the value of acceptance and how important it is to my enlightenment and ease of life. Proponents of acceptance will get no argument from me. This does not change the fact that there are lots of things...(read more)

Action, Behavior and Habits

2008-10-17T02:15:00Z

Action, Behavior and Habits Kris caught my attention a couple of times this evening. He said that it was better to cultivate habits that nurtured us and served our intent, but also that our conscious thoughts and beliefs were not necessarily our actual beliefs and intent. I asked him how we could align our habits to our intent in the case where our conscious beliefs were not, in fact, our real intent. He said we could discover our intent by noticing our behavior. Certain actions, behavior and habits...(read more)

List of Prime Beliefs - V2.0

2008-10-15T21:40:00Z

List of Prime Beliefs - Version 2.0 Continuing my research into prime beliefs, this post pulls together a number that have come up recently. Prime beliefs are identified by being such totally basic assumptions about reality that we rarely, if ever, think about them. They are part of the blueprints for this dimension and we can’t participate here without adopting them. This is as opposed to acquired beliefs... [Actually that’s very poorly phrased. We don’t want to be setting up unnecessary oppositions...(read more)

Conscious Ten Percent Steers the Rest

2008-10-10T20:00:00Z

Ten Percent Steers the Rest Chatting with Serge after the last radio show I mentioned my image of Kris’ recent description of our role in conscious creation. During the radio show Kris mentioned that our conscious thoughts where only the more ephemeral and surface layers of our belief structures. He went on to say that our conscious use of our imagination was likewise only the most superficial aspect of this deep and powerful activity. I described this to Serge, who often doesn't remember the details...(read more)

What Are Prime Beliefs?

2008-10-07T19:21:00Z

What Are Prime Beliefs? In describing prime beliefs we are not talking about the ideas that we entertain in our heads on a day-to-day basis. We are talking about assumptions and expectations that we might never think about consciously or even notice, because they are foundational to the construction of our experiences in this dimension. Even gravity and blue skys are not prime beliefs, but acquired beliefs in these terms, because we have created a reality that does not involve either - space travel....(read more)

Anxious About Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the View

2008-10-06T23:03:00Z

Watching Elizabeth today made me feel anxious and watching the clip here made me feel it again. Anxious and wanting to respond. I am happy for her projected arc into the Republican pantheon, and she IS good. She argues right wing ideas with a passionate and indomitable spirit of no-holds-barred debate on issues that seem to really matter to her. It’s not her values that I quarrel with, it’s her choices about how to express and fulfill those values. I’m all for country, and supporting the troops,...(read more)
