Why Self-improvement Fails for Some PART II

[m18pak]

I know I'm late in writing my follow-up as promised, but I had some things happen to me which, well, threw my life for a loop.

Anyway, to reiterate my theory:

1. Humans are composite beings, with an energy aspect, or aura.

2. This aura influences our subconscious and emotions (for all I know it could be our subconscious) to a large extent.

3. Everything is energy, even our thoughts and feelings (psychic energy). Our thoughts and feelings have a mutually affecting relationship with the aura, as in our thoughts and feelings acts upon it and it acts upon our thoughts and feelings.

4. What happens is that since thoughts/feelings are energy when you think a thought you leave a trace of the particular thought's energy in your aura. For example if you think sad thoughts a lot the energy of sadness will start accumulating in your aura.

5. If this process goes on long enough what starts to happen is that the aura itself begins to "vibrate" with the type of energy. For the aforementioned person his personal energy field would begin to vibrate with the frequency of sadness.

6. Since the aura influences our thoughts and feelings by exerting a subtle magnetic pull because like attracts like, the person will start thinking increasingly sad thoughts and feelings, which will add to the sadness energy in his aura, which will make the effect even stronger, and so on.

7. This is why many fail when trying to change themselves. They try to change their thinking/attitude and to adopt positive new behaviours etc, but their personal energies in the aura constantly pulls on them to try and drag them back down into their old negative patterns.

Basically what I'm suggesting is that we consider there might be more to people than meet the eye, and that we might all have personal energies around us that affect us in subtle ways.

So my solution is this: invoke higher positive energies to transmute the negative energies in your aura. Since you have generated negative energy with your thoughts and feelings, you must strive to generate as much positive energy as possible to counter that.

When a high frequency energy encounters a low frequency one the higher frequency energy cancels out the lower energy and turns it into a higher frequency energy too. This is essentially what you have to try and do with your personal energy field. If we think of the low frequency, negative energy as being darkness and the high frequency, positive energy as being light, then the image is obviously one of shining light into darkness.

So how do you generate the maximum positive energy with your thoughts and feelings? by thinking about the most noble and pure ideals and visions you can conceive.

To explain it better: there was a scientist who conducted an experiment in which he spoke specific words to glasses of water, and then took photos of the water to see what effect the words had. When the words were "love" and "peace" the water formed ordered structures, and when the words were "hate" etc the water formed chaotic swirls (all of this was on a microscopic scale of course).

I believe the reason the water did that was because of the different energies the different words invoked. Words like "love" and "peace" generated positive energies, and words like "hate" generated negative ones.

To put it another way, the missing key from self-improvement may just be the essence of spirituality. Whether you go to Church or take part in pagan rituals the idea is the same: to invoke energy. Most people will feel something when they take part in a religious or spiritual ritual, whether uplifted or excited.

In a practical sense what this means is that when you want to make change you have to do either one of two things (or both). You can do it for a noble ideal, or you can call upon a higher power. When you do something out of love etc you will generate the positive energy required, and when you call upon the power of grace/God you do the same. Whether you believe in God or not, I believe that merely God is a thought/concept that generates very high frequency energy.

Most people do not free themselves from an addiction until they can find something they love so much that they're not willing to sacrifice it to the addiction. Alcoholics Anonymous have twelve steps in their recovery program, and step 2 is Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Step 3 is Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.. You see it in different ways, but what I believe is necessary to finally make change is to generate that positive energy in your aura, and I believe that most people who have succeeded have done just that unwittingly.

Any thoughts?

Greetings!

At the end of your posting, you have a quote which reads:

We do not see the world as it is.
We see the world as we are.

I think this best encapsulates your ideas!

To respond to your theory:


1. Humans are composite beings, with an energy aspect, or aura.
-- In total agreement here!

2. This aura influences our subconscious and emotions (for all I know it could be our subconscious) to a large extent.
-- The aura in my mind is a manifestation of how we are choosing to be in a given moment. Whether it be subconsciously motivated or choice (which I am more inclined to support)...I think the chicken in this is the person's demeanor, the egg is the aura).

3. Everything is energy, even our thoughts and feelings (psychic energy). Our thoughts and feelings have a mutually affecting relationship with the aura, as in our thoughts and feelings acts upon it and it acts upon our thoughts and feelings.
-- My thinking here is that our aura is a reflection of our thoughts and feelings, and whether they be good or bad, to a very high degree, we choose them. Our aura is a reflection of our current state.

4. What happens is that since thoughts/feelings are energy when you think a thought you leave a trace of the particular thought's energy in your aura. For example if you think sad thoughts a lot the energy of sadness will start accumulating in your aura.
-- totally agree -- totally...when we choose to be sad, our aura reflects that, when we choose to be happy, our aura reflects that.


5. If this process goes on long enough what starts to happen is that the aura itself begins to "vibrate" with the type of energy. For the aforementioned person his personal energy field would begin to vibrate with the frequency of sadness.
-- This is interesting -- I think this is akin to someone who is choosing to be very angry gives off an angry vibe -- or someone who is really happy gives off a happy vibe.

6. Since the aura influences our thoughts and feelings by exerting a subtle magnetic pull because like attracts like, the person will start thinking increasingly sad thoughts and feelings, which will add to the sadness energy in his aura, which will make the effect even stronger, and so on.
-- Hmmm...this may be where we find differing paths. To me, the aura is a reflection...it is a visual/energetic representation of the soma. I do think that a person who chooses to be sad can choose to be more sad just as a person who is happy can choose to be more happy.

7. This is why many fail when trying to change themselves. They try to change their thinking/attitude and to adopt positive new behaviours etc, but their personal energies in the aura constantly pulls on them to try and drag them back down into their old negative patterns.
-- From my perspective, people do not change because they do not want to and their aura is a reflection of their current state. I am not so sure of the trading off of energies -- I do believe that the aura reflects the state of the individual.

So, to recap your quote:

We do not see the world as it is.
We see the world as we are.

To add to the quote:

We do not see the world as it is.
We see the world as we are.
and how we see the world is our choice.
