Deviation Actions

How much effort do you expend to be the person that you are right now?  The answer is: none whatsoever.  You do it all automatically, subconsciously, and without conscious effort.

Why is that the truth?  It is because what you are, what you do, is under the direct and complete control of your subconscious mind.

And what are you, the conscious one?  You are merely just another input for the subconscious mind, just like your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin (the five senses).  Subconsciously all the functions of the body are controlled by the brain.

You do fool yourself into thinking that you have conscious control of your body.  However, what you are experiencing is that the subconscious mind accepts your inputs and it directs the body to do a thing.  

There are examples that demonstrate that you, the conscious being, is NOT in control of your body (and thereby not in control of all you do, say, and so forth).

One example is learned behavior.  When you first walked, you had to exert a lot of conscious effort to do it.  Now that you have learned how to walk, you barely expend any thought to it.  The same motions and compensating calculations are occurring (they are probably even more involved as you are able to walk very fluidly and combine other activities with walking) but you do not think about it at all.

Another example is when you can’t make yourself do something.  What logical reason or even unreasonable explanation exists for this phenomenon when you cannot make yourself do something that you know is completely possible, reasonable, and even desirable?

As a example, I will confess one of my own defects: I don’t like salads; I would go without food rather than eat a salad.

Now, of course, it is possible for me to eat a salad.  It is reasonable that I eat a salad; millions of people do it every day and they enjoy it.  It is desirable that I eat a salad; it would be a healthy thing to do.  I know that I won’t explode or burst into flame from eating a salad.  So why won’t I eat a salad?

My subconscious mind doesn’t want to eat a salad; so it does not ever direct my body to do it.  If I try to override that control, the subconscious tries other tactics.  It directs the stomach to tighten up or it replays emotions (a series of physical internal actions).  It fights me, the conscious being, until it wins; it’s a matter of survival.

Why doesn’t a person do what they dream of doing?  It is because the subconscious mind doesn’t want to do that thing.  It does as it pleases and you don’t expend any effort to do those things which already make you the person that you are.  The easiest thing to do is be just who you really are, no matter how defective or imperfect that person is.

Now, this all sounds quite terrible… but the reality is this: to become a completely different person, to do those things which you desire, these deeds can be accomplished with barely any effort whatsoever; it all would come naturally to you – just as you are the person that you are now, you can be that other person just as easily.

I say this in open defiance to all those people who say that you have to struggle hard to make changes in your life, that you must sweat and cry and fight to become that person of your dreams, that it all takes time.  For most everybody, this simply is not true.  For if it were true, more people would be more successful.  Why do I say that?  For the fact that most people have spent tremendous efforts to improve their lives and most of them have failed.

What is the truth of the matter?  If you are able to change your subconscious mind, it will automatically and effortlessly do what the new you would do… just as it does now to make you the person that you are today (that is, makes you do the things that you do now).

This is no big secret; many before me have come to this understanding.  The trouble is that there are many opinions as to the method that the conscious mind can use to change the subconscious mind.

We now turn to science, the same science that gives you computers, the Internet, modern medicine, telephones, airplanes, air conditioning, everything that you now use.  These things are all true.  They all work.

Does science claim to know a method for the conscious mind to control the subconscious mind?  Does science claim that there even is a conscious mind?  Does science claim that there is a subconscious mind?  Does science acknowledge such non-physical concepts?

The answer is, yes.

This method is so accepted by the scientific community that it is an accepted and recognized procedure in medicine, that one can be certified in its practice as much as a doctor of medicine, a lawyer, etc.

So, what is this method that is so scientifically sound?  What is this method that is as valid as laser surgery, rockets into outer space, all the fantastic technology that we see today?

The method is hypnotism, more specifically self-hypnotism.

Burn this into your memory: the vast majority of people who do not employ the practice of self-hypnotism (in some form) will NEVER attain their dreams; they will flounder for their entire life and die unfulfilled.

Please note that I said that this applies to most people.  There are some people whose subconscious mind is in good shape and they are the ones who easily achieve greatness.  They have no need to change their subconscious by using self-hypnotism.

However, what I have said is true for most people, too many people.  It is true for me.  I have proven the failure part of this truth time and time again for decades.  However, I have proven to myself the truth also.

I have studied hypnotism thoroughly; enough to know how it works, how to do it, and so on.  I have experienced a successful session of hypnosis.  I experienced the completely effortless change in my life brought on by that session of hypnosis.  The completely effortless change came about even though I had completely lost faith in the method of hypnosis because I did not experience what I felt that I should have in the session.  So even though consciously I had given up, my subconscious put into motion those new aspects of me that I had desired… and it did it contrary to my conscious thought!

And again, I have proven to myself that the traditional fable of trying hard to change one’s life directly is doomed to failure.  My latest efforts to become a information research specialist have ceased altogether in complete opposition to every logical line of reasoning that I ever had.

My latest efforts at trying to succeed with my latest and greatest invention have come to nothing again.  I find myself in the very same situation that I have found myself in all my life, spanning decades!

And the one and only time that change occurred in my life was by the scientifically-proven method of (self-)hypnotism.

What is the logical conclusion?  I need to expend my efforts toward the practice of self-hypnotism until I naturally and effortlessly achieve my dreams.  Any other direct method of change will be a waste of time and effort.

This is not to say that self-hypnotism is all that I will do.  My subconscious is very willing to let me gather and process information.  I can write my essays and contemplate on the nature of the universe.  I can enjoy my grandchildren and do many other things.

However, I must not try to directly, consciously, struggle toward my dreams.  That is just not the way that it will happen for me.  I have proved the opposite to be true far too many times.  I have to set aside the logical course of action of pursuing my dreams directly.  Everything that I have been taught tells me that direct pursuit is the way to go; what I have been taught is wrong.
I do wish that this 'Description' came before the deviation as it used to do.

Sometimes, every thing that you know is wrong.

Sometimes, the truth hurts.

However, always, I care about your true happiness.
