This program deals with how and why people make choices as they do. It is an effective teacher of mind mechanics and how one can harness the power of the mind to create desired outcomes.
2. We Behave Within Our Limits
• Conscious Mind
• 10% of our mind function
• Interprets reality
• Makes conclusions
• Consults Subconscious
• Keeps us in our “place”
• Never needs to be “right”
• Subconscious Mind
• 90% of our mind function
• Accepts all conclusions
regardless of the facts
• Stores all conclusions for life
• Reports to the Conscious
Mind on request
• Is willing to die to be “right”
4. CONSCIOUS MIND
•Observes everything
•Hears everything
•Sees everything
•Tastes and feels
EXPERIENCES events, places, people,
conditions, circumstances
Classifies experiences into
•Good or Bad
•Right or Wrong
•Better or Worse
Then makes conclusions about all the above
and sends the final conclusion to the
subconscious for permanent storage
5. SUBCONSCIOUS SUMMARY
90% of the mind’s capacity
Here all conclusions about who and
how we are get stored for life.
100% of conclusions about any aspect
of our lives are kept here for future
reference.
The sum of our conclusions about any
aspect of our SELF is reported to the
conscious mind upon request to shape
and control the outcome.
Examples: Can I dance, cook, fly, fish,
bike, parachute, bake, decorate, write,
speak, paint, drive, or run a computer?
8. We Have Four Key Life-Concerns
Health Money
Career Relationships
What do you want to change about any of these?
How do you want that change to look?
When do you want that change to happen?
What is the reality of your current status?
Who do you need to impress with the new you?
9. Changing Our Conclusions
• Re-Write the conclusions with affirmations
• Look at the affirmations every day
• Agree with the new conclusions 20+ times a day
• Keep this up for 30 days
• Keep the new conclusions in front of you everywhere
• Keep them private
• Each time you agree with the NEW conclusion you add another note to your self-image files
• Eventually you form a NEW subconscious “reality” of YOU
• In a month or two your new “self” is rewritten supported by a new SELF-ESTEEM
10. Self-Esteem is Woven From Conclusions
• Self-Esteem / Self-Image / Self-Worth
Your subconscious weaves the
image of who you really are…
• Accumulated Conclusions
• Continuing Compliance
• Reinforced by End Results
11. The Pathological Critic
• An Arsenal of Shoulds
• The Origin of Your Critic
• Why You Listen to Your Critic
• How the Critic Gets Reinforced
• Catching Your Critic
14. Combating Distortions
• Vigilance
– Listen to what you are telling yourself!
– You must make a commitment to overcome your
internal Critic
– Use Affirmations for This
– Examine Your Conclusions
– Change Them Over Time
– Apply NEW Affirmations
16. How Values Are Formed
• Parents
• Authority figures
• Heroes
• We are programmed to
be who / how we are
• We reinforce this
• We don’t see things the
way they are, we see
them the way we are
17. The Human Mind
• The tyranny of “shoulds” is the absolute
nature of belief. Examples?
I Gotta Be Me!!
19. Making Mistakes
• We live in a real world, not the TV version
• Everything is hard before it’s easy
• Society (and its messengers) makes us feel bad
• January 28, 1986:
• Space Shuttle Challenger
• Collective Guilt Complex
• We are powerless yet mad
• Results in huge distraction
20. How Much Bad News Can You Take?
65% of TV is made up of:
• Criminal Drama
• Drama
• News Programs
• Reality Shows
Nearly all reality shows are
set up to make people look
bad, get humiliated, lose,
get fired, get heartbroken,
feel bad, get insulted, or
commit violence in front of
a national audience!
THE HUMAN MIND CAN’T TAKE A JOKE!
21. The Fix to Awareness Issues
• Affirmations cause reality
• We can make our futures
• We become our thoughts
22. Asking for What You Want
• Needs versus Wants
• Defining What You Want
• Causing the Delivery
Health Money
Career Relationships
24. Visualization Creates Results
• The affirmations you will include in your visualizations serve
as conscious, positive correction to the negative comments of
your pathological critic. (Michael Jordan)

Notas do Editor
Have you ever tried to change a habit, or become more self-motivated, only to find your subconscious mind resisting? There is a basic law of the mind at work here: whenever your conscious and subconscious are in conflict, your subconscious invariably wins. This is called the law of conflict. It can also be stated another way, whenever imagination and logic are in conflict, imagination usually wins.People usually try to change their habits through will power and/or self-discipline. While they may convince themselves what the logical course of action is, they still imagine themselves doing what they subconsciously desire to do. For example, smokers trying to quit still imagine the taste or smell of cigarettes, or dieters imagine how good junk food would taste –and then wonder why they backslide into old habits.Logic works with the conscious mind, but often not with the subconscious. Controlled meditation or subconscious programming helps the subconscious.Controlled meditation, also known as dynamic meditation, is a simple procedure that doesn’t cost anything or take too much effort, yet the result is compelling. It combines autosuggestion and creative visualization in a very relaxed state of mind. What one needs to do is simply to get relaxed and visualize the desired traits or conditions as having been gained together with the contentment that goes along with them. This is combined with affirmation or autosuggestion constructed in present tense. Below are a few autosuggestions which have proved useful to others. You can create more specific ones to deal directly with your own problems: I am free of fear and feel more confident. Whatever happens, I do not lose my temper. I value myself and behave with pride. I am sticking to the diet and losing weight. Smoking is for sick people. I quit. I am master of my fate, captain of my soul. All pain is going and soon will be gone.To understand how this works, first you must understand the four states of mind. We are in the beta state for most of our waking hours. Our brain radiates these waves (13 cycles per second, often greatly higher) when we are thinking, reasoning or engaging in problem solving. As our brain waves slow to between 8 and 13 cycles per second, we enter the alpha state of mind. The door between our conscious and subconscious mind is opened, and it becomes easier to access the memories and storage of new information. This is also often referred as the meditative state, in which the mind and body become so relaxed. We are also more suggestible in this state.Below the two conscious states are theta (between 4 to 8 cycles per second), the dream state, and delta (below four cycles per second), which is deep sleep or total unconsciousness. We are actually familiar with these states since we must pass through theta on the way to and from delta. Likewise, we must pass through alpha on the way to and from sleep. When we are just going to sleep but not quite there yet, or just awakening but not yet awake, we are either in Alpha or theta.At alpha and theta our words have enormously increased power. These are the two areas controlled meditation is focused on. There are six functions of the subconscious. One, as a memory bank (like a computer), two, to regulate involuntary functions (heart, thinking, etc.), three, as the seat of emotions, four, as the seat of imagination, five, to control habit, and six, as a dynamo –directing energy that motivates us.
The conscious mind is only a windshield that separates reality from your interpretation of it. While critically important to your wellbeing, that windshield has accumulated filters over your lifetime that cause reality to look different to you than what it might to others. The vision you get after passing through those filters then gets classified into what we call experiences. These experiences then get sent to your subconscious mind for permanent storage. The accumulated experiences stored there shape who and how you are, what you believe to be true, regardless of the real truth, what you believe to be false, what you regard as acceptable versus unacceptable, and every other aspect of your life and your relationships to others around you.
Name outcomes that are controlled by this process…
Before we get into the 8 key distortions let’s also look at how to combat them since they are not your friends.
