The issue we face is that mind
only knows the past and what it has experienced. It projects the
past into the future to recreate the past in a new way. This is
something that cannot be avoided. It is the nature of consciousness
and mind to do so. Reprogramming the past is about changing the past
to change our future. To bring into existence possibilities that do
not yet currently exists, we must step out of the limit and
boundaries created by the past. Yet without the past, we are not
functional.
Without the past, we have no identity and no reference to conceive
of possibilities. Look at mind as a hard drive on a computer. Our
past is the software and operating systems we use to create the
future. Without any software and operating system on the hard drive
the computer may be perfectly functional but we can’t use it. Until
we load the operation system and software the computer does not work
as a computer.
Since the experiences of the past are essential to the existence of
the mind, reprogramming the past is not about somehow removing the
events of the past from your memory as you would erase a computer
program from a computer hard drive. Rather is it about seeing the
events of the past through a new set of eyes, a new perspective. It
is about reframing the past.
We need to realize what we project is not only the experiences we
have had but our interpretation of those experiences. If we project
those experiences forward with the same mind that created them, we
will recreate the past. However, if we change our perspective about
the experiences we had, we do not project the past as we experienced
it. Rather, we project whole new possibility and something not
previously experienced. We project our new perspective. That in turn
allows us to break from the past. What we need to realized is that
mind is malleable and can be changed. It is not fixed.
In reprogramming the past, it needs to be realized that mind needs
an operating system and software. The operating systems allows us to
function and survive as a human being. The software is how we
function to survive and determines whether or not we create
consciously or subconsciously. The operating system of the mind is
what we need to do in life be a functional human within the animal
kingdom.
Part of the operating system is hardwired in our bodies. That is,
because we are human we will have some physical experiences and that
guarantees us something in our mind from which to create. However,
what we learn from the experiences we have without the benefit of
the
lessons learned from others, will not give us a very functional
mind. Human developed has only been what it has been because of how
we have been able to share lessons learned about life. Without the
lessons learned from others, we might just as well grow up totally
alone on an isolated island, if that were possible.
An infant cannot survive without a mother on which to feed. In this
regard, humans have a default system that requires us to learn at
least from our mother the essentials of living until we can figure
out how to get food and water on our own. Otherwise we will not
survive. As a minimum, as long as we get the care and nurturing to
remain alive, we can function at a level of existence that we would
call the animal level. That is a functional human being but with no
conscious mind and no awareness. At this level of our existence what
we do is both subconscious and “in response” to the world we
experience.
To be conscious is to become aware of ourselves and what is
happening in our environment. It is to be able to become the cause
of the experience we have rather than simply response to what we
experience.
As we grow in life with our early care givers, we develop many
concepts and ideas about life before we become consciously aware of
what we think and believe. It is probable that none of us become
fully aware of all that we believe and why we believe what we do.
Additionally many of us never fully understand the full implications
of what we do know we believe and why we believe it.
The basis of what we believe are the experiences we have. Any
experience is neither good nor bad. It just is. Some experience feel
pleasurable, some feel painful. What we believe about the
experiences we have is another issue. That is where the illusion of
mind exists. Reprogramming the past is also about reprogramming the
subconscious. But reprogramming is not about changing any
experience. The experience will always be there. It is about
changing our perspective of it. It is to recycle the past. It is
about
pulling the string to understand what circumstance lead up to
what we experience and whether the experience feels good or bad to
understand why we judge the experience the way we do. It is to visit
our past and explore the response we had to key events in our life
and to understand why we response as we did. With that understanding
we are prepared to face the events of the future and not recreate
the past.
To get control over what we wish to create in our life, we will have
to surface many of the subconscious intention that are ruling and
directing our life. We can surface those previously programmed
intentions by observing our life as a
detached witness with the intention of rewriting the script for
the movie which we are observing. In being the detached witness, we
can become mindful and aware of what we think and believe and why we
think and believe the way we do. We can also become mindful and
aware of what we feel and why we feel what we do.
There are a variety of ways that we can use to change what we think
and believe. Rituals, ceremonies, hypnotic suggestion, subliminal
messages, boot camps, indoctrinations, education, and many similar
techniques are available. However, many of these techniques are
directed to a specific type and kind of future actions. For example,
military boot camp is directed toward creating a soldier or sailor.
The reprogramming suggested here is about shifting our perspective
to not repeat the past. It is to be able to both consciously create
what we desire and respond to life in a way that allows us to keep
focused on what we desire to create.
To reprogram our past, the approach suggested within the Releasing
Your Unlimited Creativity material is two fold. One aspect is to
develop a perspective that will allow us to see differently. The
second is to is to use a creative endeavor of our choosing to guide
our exploration of reprogramming the past. In this manner we retain
full control over our life and what we create.
The
creativity perspective used within this material is a
perspective that can be used two ways. It can be used the
perspective for our life and to use in our life. Or, it can be used
simply as a way to develop the perspective for our life. When uses
as the perspective for our life, we
hold our creativity sacred as we live life. We become very aware
of what allows our creativity and creative power and abilities to
grow and expand.
Here we look to see what types and kinds of events and circumstances
in our life allow cause us to give our creative power away or where
we somehow deny ourselves. We look to were we somehow shrink,
withdrawal or become less that what we know is possible. The
Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material provides concepts and
ideas that allow us to entertain the most expansive view of
ourselves to help us hold our creativity sacred. The recommendation
is to
eat and digest what is provided and allow
effective to be our measure of truth. Then use what is effective
in our life for what we desire to create.
If the
creativity perspective is used to create a perspective for our
life then the material provided here is only to help us to step out
of our current perspective of ourselves and Creation. Here we
explore this material as we would any other material. Then do what
we choose to do. The only recommendation made in this case is to
become aware of what we believe and why we believe what we do.
To use a creative endeavor of our choosing to guide our exploration
of reprogramming the past, it is recommended we choose some creative
endeavor that our mind thinks is impossible or improbable. Then
follow our intuitive guidance on to create it. Choosing a creative
endeavor that we think is impossible or improbably forces us to step
beyond the limits and barriers of our mind. It is a way to step out
of mind yet never really leaving mind. Following your intuitive
guidance to create will also cause us to continually step out of
mind for our mind will often be hard pressed to understand why our
intuitive guidance recommends what it does. Yet our intuitive
guidance will take us along the
path of least resistance although our mind may think
differently.
It needs to be remembered that a creative endeavor takes us into the
unknown and mind only knows the past. It cannot guide you to where
we have not been. So no matter how much mind thinks there is a
faster way to create what it desire, it will only be following the
past and not creating something new and original. To create the new
and original, the impossible and improbable, we have to step out of
mind.
Now it doesn’t matter if we ultimately never create what we set out
to do. In choose create what is impossible and/or improbable, we
will access a part of our being we could not otherwise access. We
will open ourselves up to possibilities in any situation that our
mind could not otherwise conceive. Until we step into the unknown
and explore the types and kinds of options that are available, we
will only be recreating the past.
In choosing to reprogram our past through a creative endeavor, we
need to become empty. That is, we need to empty ourselves our
thinking, our beliefs and our perspective(s) which do not serve us
in the aware we desire to create. We need to make room within our
own being for the new to enter. We need to become totally
free to allow the
sacrifice of creation to occur within our being.
We will not change the experience we have had. Those will always be
within us and a part of us. They will always be important to us for
it is our experiences of the past that allows to understand what we
experience. Rather, we remove and flush away all that we think and
believe about the experience that does not allow us to create what
we desire. How much work we need to do in this area totally depends
on our past and what we desire to create.
