Consciousness and subconsciousness: how to reprogram

Consciousness and subconsciousness

To understand how to get rid of negative programs, you first need to understand how the mechanism of human perception with its conscious and unconscious components works.

It is believed that consciousness is a biological function of the brain that allows an individual to receive information about the world around him and about himself. Thanks to consciousness, a person can lead active life activities: thought processes, setting and realizing goals, analyzing situations, etc. Consciousness is a programmer: a thinking, creative component that is responsible for self-realization in society.
The subconscious is a biological function of the human brain, which is responsible for mental processes that occur without reflection in consciousness and in addition to conscious control. The subconscious is responsible for preserving life in environmental conditions: the instinct of self-preservation, the coordinated work of all body systems. The subconscious is a database plus an ultra-fast computer for accumulating, processing and providing information at the right time.

This system is built in such a way that the subconscious accumulates information about past events in a person’s life, and when a person finds himself in a similar (similar) situation, the consciousness receives impulses coming from the subconscious, processes them and, based on this information, directs the person along a certain path.

It turns out that a person consciously makes exactly the decision that corresponds to the subconscious programs and attitudes embedded in him. Thus, successful people continue to be successful, and unsuccessful people remain unsuccessful.

Turbo gopher

How to cleanse the subconscious of negative attitudes using the psychological turbo-gopher method?

The program is suitable for anyone who wants to change their life for the better and find peace of mind. Designed for independent work. The source of problems is the person himself, this should be understood and understood.

The technique contains protocols for the subconscious (paid and free). After reading the book, a person should understand whether he is a coward who is not ready to take responsibility for his own life, or a practitioner who wants to achieve changes in life.

Programming consciousness

In ticket No. 2 of the “Cheat Sheets for Success,” we dealt with idealizations and came to the conclusion that in order to get rid of them, we must learn to accept life as it is. Thus, programming of consciousness has begun, because awareness of the cause of unfavorable events in life has been established, and the first step has been taken on the path to well-being.

The next step is to understand your beliefs, since beliefs are a filter through which a person perceives the world and determines his place in it.

A person’s manifestation in all spheres of life depends on his attitudes, thinking patterns, fears that were instilled by parents, other authority figures, the media and personal experience. This is a kind of programming of the individual for certain decisions, actions and actions.

We can highlight:

Verbal programming. What did the man hear?
Imitation. What did the man see?
Personal experience. What happened to the person?

This information is stored in memory, and the achievement of goals and personal success depends on its nature.

If some negative event has occurred in life, then the next time a person finds himself in a similar situation, he will already rely on his negative experience. He will treat it with distrust and worry that this could happen again and, as a result, the negative experience will be repeated. It’s as if a person is walking in a circle: negative experience - worrying - attraction of the next negative event - repetition of negative experience.

The same thing happens with imitation and verbal programming. A person saw how his parents acted in a given situation, remembered the stereotype of behavior, and thereby programmed himself to take the same actions in similar situations.

You can’t find a soul mate, get a well-paid job, start your own business, build a career - there is a reason for all this - a personal negative program.

How negative attitudes are formed.

Try watching small children. How do they behave? They always do what they want. They freely express their emotions: scream, cry, rejoice. They can easily take away a toy and can easily hit another child. For a child, all this is natural - he defends his rights to own everything he wants. He always expresses himself freely. He does not yet know about all the restrictions that are accepted in society. Thus, every child is initially confident in himself. He has no thoughts about prohibitions, he does not think about how others look at him.

Only in the process of socialization does a child learn the norms accepted in society. Along with the knowledge necessary for adaptation, we acquire various negative beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.

The assimilation of both moral norms and negative beliefs occurred even before we mastered speech. We performed an action and some kind of emotional reaction followed from an adult - most often the mother. If mom’s reaction was negative, then we accepted that this action was prohibited. At the same time, our attention was fixed on this object or action. Further, interest in this topic is always accompanied by a feeling of guilt.

Even with mastery of speech, our parents did not have to instill anything in us directly. Everything was clear from the behavior and reactions. For example, you can often observe how a child in transport tries to talk to his mother, telling her something. In response he hears - “Shut up!” or “Don't shout!” The mother, with all her behavior, shows that she is ashamed and uncomfortable for her child’s noisy behavior. At the same time, the child is not explained why he cannot speak loudly or why he cannot speak at all in this situation. This is not clear to him, but he feels a negative attitude towards himself. What does he conclude? With frequent repetition of such situations, with constant prohibitions without explanation, the child learns the formula “I’m stupid,” since the mother is ashamed of him and therefore makes the decision “You can’t express your thoughts and feelings in public.” Later in life, a person will be afraid to express his opinion in any similar situation.

For a child, the love of his parents is the most important thing in life, and he begins to behave as they wish. But only in their presence. When no one is around, he continues to do what interests him, but with a feeling of guilt. This is how we learn from childhood to lie, first as adults, and then to ourselves.

During the process of traumatic upbringing, we gradually stop trusting our feelings and rely less on our intuition. We begin to be afraid to express our thoughts out loud for fear of seeming stupid. We stop focusing on ourselves and start listening to what others say. We look at what others are doing and try to act the same way so as not to attract attention. We begin to do only as others tell us. Ideal slaves.

There's no point in blaming your parents. Of course, they are responsible for your childhood traumas. But accept that they also have their own, which they received from your grandparents. This model of upbringing - all the fears and unconscious prohibitions of the family - is passed on from generation to generation. If you do not work on yourself, then you will pass them on to your children.

This is how the process of forming attitudes—beliefs about yourself and the world around you—goes. They are in your unconscious, they have already become part of your psyche. You don’t think about them, but you act based on these attitudes.

It is your attitudes and beliefs that determine most of all your actions! You think, make decisions, communicate, react to events in accordance with the attitudes that you have developed in the process of life experience and upbringing.

Every adult needs to reconsider their attitudes and consciously decide which of them are adequate to your goals and which have already lost their relevance. This way you will get rid of infantile behavior.

Self-programming

Self-programming of a person consists of controlling one’s consciousness and correctly programming one’s subconscious.

The task of consciousness is to explain to oneself the existing stereotypes of behavior, analyze one’s strengths and weaknesses, find and replace negative beliefs with positive attitudes.
The task of the subconscious is to attract or create circumstances that correspond to the thoughts and images fixed in it, and to bring mental and other habits to automatism.

That is, it is almost impossible to change oneself with the power of thought alone; the desired result can be achieved only when new habits and attitudes are formed, and information about the new self is firmly rooted in the subconscious.

Forming a New Habit

We all know that to form a new habit, develop a skill, it is necessary:

The thought of creating a new habit
Consolidating thought with action
Repeating an action multiple times
Carrying out an action automatically - a habit has been developed

Why is this happening? How to reprogram the subconscious?

It turns out that reprogramming occurs not only at the level of thinking, but also at the emotional, and even at the physical, biological level.

Neuroplasticity and reaching a “new level”

Joe Dispenza talks well about what happens at the “brain level” when introducing new attitudes in his book “The Power of the Subconscious, or How to Change Your Life in 4 Weeks.”

Joe Dispenza, MD, is a neuroscientist who studies topics such as brain chemistry, neuroscience, memory formation, and life extension.

In this book he uses the term neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to form new neural connections with the help of conscious intention and information from the environment. It is this ability of neurons that allows a person to achieve a new level of intelligence:

Neuroscientists call this process neuronal pruning and sprouting, but I describe the changes in terms of “learning” and “unlearning.” Neuroplasticity gives us the ability to transcend limitations and transcend the external and internal circumstances in our lives.

It turns out that we already have everything, all the tools to reach a new level, they are provided by nature. You just have to take it and do it - forget old habits and form new ones.

Subconscious Programming

In this book, Joe Dispenza talks not only about neuroplasticity, he explains how the process of habit formation itself occurs from the point of view of neurophysiology.

Let me briefly, in my own words, convey the essence of this process.

Neocortex

So, first of all, a person has the idea of mastering or changing something in himself. At this very second, an impulse arises in the neocortex, since it is it that is responsible for the thought process. The neocortex is the outer part of the cerebral cortex, shaped like a walnut.

It is the neocortex that allows us to learn new things, remember, reason, analyze, plan, weigh options and communicate with people. He is responsible for processing information, obtaining, personifying and consolidating new knowledge.

Simply put, this part of the brain is responsible for processing ideas that are not yet known to us and have not been translated into “lived”, “felt” and exist in the form of potential that could be realized.

Limbic brain

The most developed and specialized part of the brain of all mammals except dolphins, great apes and humans is the limbic brain. It is located under the neocortex and can be called "chemical" or "emotional."

The peculiarity of this part of the brain is that when a person experiences certain feelings and emotions, pyptids are produced here (in the limbic brain), and the emotional memory of the event is consolidated at the chemical level.

This chemical cocktail has a strictly defined composition that reflects the emotions you are experiencing at the moment. As you already know, emotions are the result of an event; new events cause new emotions (which then send new signals to new genes). Thus, emotions give the body a command to retain the memory of the event at a chemical level, and we become the embodiment of the information received.

The limbic brain contributes to the formation of long-term memories and the more easily the feelings and emotions that a person experienced at the time of the event are recreated in memory, the more firmly the event itself is remembered. Thus, situations associated with emotional stress leave a deep imprint in the memory.

If knowledge is intended for the brain, and sensations are intended for the body, then by applying new knowledge and creating new sensations, we teach the body everything that we have already learned with the mind.”

Cerebellum

At the back of the skull is the most active part of the brain called the cerebellum.

The cerebellum is responsible for maintaining balance, coordinating movements, awareness of the body's position in space, and making controlled movements. The cerebellum stores certain types of simple actions and skills, and also records emotional reactions, opinions, repetitive actions, habits and conditioned behavior patterns at the neural level. And there are also the roots of unconscious reflexes and skills acquired and learned throughout life.

This is the memory center and microprocessor of the brain:

The cerebellum easily “downloads” various types of learned information into programmed states of mind and body.

This is the abode of the subconscious and it is at this level that skills move into a state of being, since each cerebellar neuron can form a minimum of 200,000 (up to a million) connections with other nerve cells.

Three brains in action

Based on the description of the neocortex, limbic brain and cerebellum, a logical sequence of consolidation of the experience emerges: first we receive information, then we experience it, receive sensations (feelings and emotions), transfer the experienced sensations into long-term memory with reinforcement at the chemical level, and thus form unconscious habits and skills.

If we need to create a “new ourselves,” we must not only learn to “think in a new way,” but also learn, on an ongoing basis, to experience the feelings and emotions inherent in the “new personality.”

On my own behalf, I would like to note that in this process an important role is played by the level of a person’s energy vibrations and personal energy state: the stronger the energy and the higher the vibrational radiation of the individual, the easier it will be to move to a new level of existence.

Now let's look at how we can introduce a new principle of thinking into our consciousness and consolidate the “new thinking” at the genetic level.

Programming Methods

Thus, we can program ourselves both at the level of consciousness and at the subconscious level.

Working with consciousness

Positive Affirmations

First of all, you need to put your thoughts in order: understand how to think is harmful, and how it is even very useful.

Alexander Sviyash in his book “The Reasonable World: How to Live Without Unnecessary Worries” suggests replacing a negative program with a positive attitude. That is, you need to try to think in such a way as to remove unnecessary experiences from life. For example, a destructive belief: “With such a character, I will never get married!” Replace with constructive: “I have an extraordinary character that will make my family life lively and full of events!” Or, the belief: “I can’t let people think badly of me!” On: “I do not interfere in the lives of my friends and do not impose on them my opinion about me. And I don’t care what they think about me!”

Declaration of statements

T. Harv Eker in the book “Think Like a Millionaire” suggests not just saying positive statements, but declaring them:

What is the point of declarations? Everything in this world is woven from one substance - energy. Energy has frequencies and vibrations. Each phrase you pronounce has a certain vibration frequency. The moment you speak, energy vibrates in every cell of your body, and when you touch yourself, you can feel it. The declaration contains not only a special message to the world, but also a powerful signal to your own subconscious.

That is, in order for reprogramming to happen faster, you need to pronounce a positive statement confidently and loudly.

Declarations for each type of programming from the book “Think Like a Millionaire” by T. Harv Eker:

Verbal programming:
Put your hand on your heart and say, “Not everything I’ve heard about money is true. I choose a different way of thinking that will bring me luck and help me become happy.”
Imitation:
With your hand on your heart, say: “The way I handle money was forced on me. I choose my own lifestyle."
Personal experience:
With your hand on your heart, say, “I know that my past financial experiences are holding me back, and I am creating a new, secure future.”

Working on the subconscious

Self-hypnosis

Is it still possible to somehow help yourself and speed up the process of reprogramming on the subconscious? Yes it is possible! To do this, you need to immerse yourself in a meditative level, a level at which you can easily make adjustments to your subconscious and replace negative attitudes with positive ones. You need to imagine yourself as you want to become and, as it were, “put on” a new image, merge with your new self, become one.

I will briefly describe the basic principles of hypnosis:

Relaxation: Relaxation is necessary in order to tune in to receive information. At this stage, you need to relax physically and emotionally. (More about relaxation in ticket no. 11)
Deepening: To immerse yourself in a hypnotic state, you can use a countdown from 10 to 1 and with each number you relax more and more and fall into sleep.
Scenario: At this stage, negative attitudes are replaced with positive ones.
Amnesia: Used to put the mind on alert so that it does not block the implementation of positive statements. Therefore, you need to make it clear to yourself that everything that was said earlier is, in general, not important and therefore not dangerous.
Exit from a hypnotic state:

The first option is to wake up and be in the mood for active action: this can be done by counting from one to three: “On the count of three, I will come out of the hypnotic state and feel even better than before. One - I start to go out, I feel great. Two - I start to move, I realize what is happening around. Three – I feel great, cheerful, healthy and in good spirits.”
The second option is to go to sleep and wake up in the morning feeling good and cheerful: “Continuing to relax, I fall into a calm and safe sleep. And in the morning, I will wake up cheerful, healthy and full of energy.”

It should be noted that these principles are used in many meditations, which are a practical addition to the theoretical material in personal growth programs.

For example, for these purposes, you can use hypnosis recordings in mp3 format from the Hypnotheque program by Steve J. Jones. Just don’t rush to immediately fall asleep to the voice of the announcer; at the beginning, listen to the session in a conscious state at home or in another quiet place, and when you are sure that it will not bring you any harm, you can start practicing. Each hypnosis session must be listened to before bed for 21 days, as long as you see fit, until you feel the result.

Identifying incorrect programs

The method is a little similar to self-hypnosis, but in fact we simply go deeper into ourselves, reaching the theta level. We relax, close our eyes and imagine what we want to achieve. Then we try to notice the negative quality present in the image when we have achieved what we want. This quality will be a negative attitude that needs to be removed. Otherwise, the subconscious will never let you get to what you want.

How to remove the installation? It’s very simple, you need to explain to yourself that this is only your own idea of the development of events and other options are possible, such as where this negative idea will not exist. After all, there are people who already have this, and yet they do not suffer.

And to make it easier to catch your negative attitudes and transform them, a special technique with simulators has been developed.

Ho'oponopono

The essence of this method is to change the negative message. For example, you failed an exam and feel guilty that this happened. Write down on paper everything you feel, then add the phrase “I’m very sorry.” Take responsibility for what happened. More options for additional phrases, depending on the problem: “Please forgive”, “Thank you”, “I love you”. The combination of the problem and these phrases may seem strange at first, but in practice they really work.
