The soul controls our body through our subconscious mind,
Our anger, love and blood pressure are controlled by the subconscious mind,
the subconscious mind is the engine of our life
It has to be made clean of negative memories for happiness to rise
The mind as we are aware of is only 10 % of our total mind. 90 % of our responses, thinking and actions are determined by our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is our dormant mind which works as hard disk of our computer. The subconscious mind is the link between our soul and our body. It is the centre of happiness.
The Subconscious mind determines our
perceptions about people or situations . Our emotions in any given situation
depend on our past experiences, the culture we live in, how our family thinks,
what are our values and beliefs, how we perceive our individual identity, what
is our main goal, what is the context we live in, our present circumstances
etc.
These
factors – our identity, values and beliefs, circumstances, environment etc. are
called FILTERS.
Filters determine how much and what
information passes in through the conscious mind , to reach the subconscious
mind.
As explained in prologue 1, only that
information reaches our subconscious mind which resonates in frequency with the
existing energy frequency of the body. The filters allow only that information
to pass in which the person agrees with and reject the rest of the information
as irrelevant.
Other than our past experiences, our values
and beliefs, our attitudes, environmental upbringing ., our intake if
information at any given moment also depends on our physiology and our state of mind at the moment. So, our state
of mind at any give moment and our physical stature also, are included in our
filters.
For example,
if you are short, you may miss out on seeing some things, which a tall person
would notice, or if you are tall, you may face different challenges.
More
specifically, as a tall person , you
would not have had to hear ‘how short you are ‘, all your life. But, if you
were short, such a comment could have hurt your self esteem.
As a
short person, that comment may have made
you feel inadequate for tasks which required height or reaching far,
symbolically. You may have compensated your loss of self esteem by pretending
to be taller than you actually were or boasting about yourself more than
needed.
So, if you were tall, that kind of remark did
not negatively impact your self-esteem as it could have for a short person. However,
a s a tall person, you may have had to hear ‘ you look like a giant, you are a
bean pole etc.’ which may have hurt your self esteem in a different manner. You
may have experienced difficulty in fitting in with people of normal height or
felt superior to regular society.
So, a
person who is short may feel stressed in different situations than a tall
person simply because their past experiences of stress have been different.
Similarly, your filters are impacted by
your state of mind, i.e. the information you take in on any given moment
depends on your mood at that moment. The times at which you feel more stressed
than usual, you take in information differently. You may be able to process
less information or compute information in a distorted manner, than at other
times when you do not feel as stressed.
If you are a perpetually depressed person,
you will notice negative situations in your environment, which a carefree
person would ignore.
When you are more
interested in some things over others, it is because of your filters.
Filters
are interconnected with each other. They cumulatively act to influence, which
aspects of your external reality you give emphasis to and which you don’t. In
other words, they cumulatively
influence your priorities.
For example, an interest in dressing means that
you believe looking good is important. There can be several filters involved in
your interest in dressing. Maybe your family believed in good dressing or maybe
some role model whom you looked up to believed that dressing well was important.
Maybe you profession demands it, maybe your value is that you consider your
external presentation important in all aspects of life or dressing represents
an important aspect of who you are.
Similarly, an
interest in politics means that you feel politicians help the country/that you
consider nation-hood important/ because you need to show awareness in your
environment/because your profession demands it etc.
All the
factors which create your interest in a particular phenomenon area result of
your conditioning and are interconnected.
This difference in priorities due to
different filters often causes miscommunication or misunderstanding with
another person. Two people do not find common topics to talk about if their
filters are too different. They do not realize the difference in their
interests is because each one’s mind is different. Each one has set up
different filters and each one’s priorities are different.
Understanding each person as a unique
personality reduces the need for giving advice and passing judgments; which can
be a source of stress in daily functioning.
Filters can be
changed and need to be changed when holding certain filters, causes stress. We
will discuss this later.
Learning Task 2-Experience of filters
Part A- List out five significant things you notice
around you now. List out five different things you notice when you get up early
morning ? Does your noticing different things depend on your mood at that moment? Noticing which things make you
feel more stressed and noticing which things makes you feel relaxed ?You would
have feelings associated with each situation depending on your filters of how
life should be organized.
Part B- Think of any person
in your life who is important. Think of something which is important to the other
person and not to you. Hence, you don’t notice it whereas the other person does.
For example, he may notice the types of cars on the road whereas you don’t do
so. Or you may be noticing somethings
which he does not.
Then ask yourself whether
the reason could be that his / her priorities in life are different from yours?
Could it be because his work demands/values/beliefs/
circumstances/identity/upbringing/financial conditions/state of mind at that
moment or all these factors may be different? So, his filters are
different. Hence, the information his
mind takes in and your mind takes in is different.
Part C-To understand that
person and yourself better, you can point out which filers are different in
Part B`s particular situation.
