But, yeah, the subconscious and ego are good at trying to mantain comfort or patterns/learned behaviour and these are things we aren't aware of, or run as defaults when we aren't paying attention. And doing something that doens't jive with them might be part of the training. But how do you pay attention enough so they don't control you? Or rather, how does one feel sufficiently motivated to have a goal start making you act and perceive in alignment with it? You could use will power in spite of the subc/ego stuff but that usually isn't very motivated or is a tougher way to act with all the friction of possible lurking/unknown/unidentified conflicts, I'd say. Learning to act in spite of the rest of one's system is will power and probably works to some degree. However, if one can bring some light to the ego and subconscious stuff, you have a better chance of being flexible and to choose not to use those old patterns or, more able to act on your goals and actually feel motivated that it will work out, instead of having perculations of subconscious/ego stuff that you have to keep side stepping/trying to ignore.
Steve's: "a common culprit is the fear of what might happen if you succeed"
(I haven't mastered multiquotes here)
What about fears of what will happen if one fails? Fearing that one won't actually be able to pull it off? (that was in another thread but seemed to apply to that Steve quote here) |
When you learn how to stay committed to your intentions it becomes effortless to ignore the ego and release those thoughts. It takes practice to get the trick to it down but then it gets easier. Your thoughts arent always going to be your enemy in that sense but those neural pathways are always there waiting to spring back into action if you let them.
The only thoughts that can stop manifesting your desires are ones that actually change your state of mind/consciousness. Trying to find subconscious blocks invokes your imagination and effectively creates blocks to having the feelings that connect you to source. You dont have to worry about any possible block if you are connected because you feel great and positive and expect good things. You only need to deal with a thought if it arises during visualising for instance and prevents you from being in vibrational harmony with your desires. When you think about what you want, negative thoughts sometimes arise and these are all you need to deal with (with rationalisation or by releasing or whatever works for you). As soon as they are gone from the moment you feel good and begin manifesting your desires again.
If the negative thoughts that prevent you from feeling connected are about you not being responsible enough, deal with them then and there because as long as you arent vibrating on the same wavelength as what you want you will never get it. They may rise again if your ego thinks it can use those thoughts to control you but if not dont think about them. Certainly dont root around and use your imagination to find supposed blocks - your just giving your ego ideas lol.
