How to be Consciously Creative

by Bill Harris, Director, Centerpointe Research Institute

What is the key to living the life you want to live, instead of just taking--often merely enduring--what comes your way?

The premises behind my answers:

1. Each person creates his or her own internal and external reality, and that reality is determined by the way in which that person focuses his or her mind.

This means that how you feel and what happens to you is not coming from "out there". External events and other people may serve as a trigger, but it's what you do inside with what's out there that determines how you feel, how you behave, and what situations and people you attract into your life. It only looks as if outer circumstances create your life.

2. Your mind takes what you focus on as an instruction to create or attract more of it, and your mind is incredibly powerful in doing this.

3. Your mind (or at least the part of it that creates your reality) does not understand the intention behind the instructions you give it, nor does it care. Like a faithful servant, it takes each instruction, each point of focus, literally, as if you want it.

For instance, if your intention is to have lots of loving friends but you focus on not being alone, your mind sees the internal pictures you make of being alone (you have to picture being alone to think of not being alone in the same way that you have to think of a blue tree if I tell you not to think of a blue tree). These internal pictures are taken as an instruction, and your mind gets busy creating it. While you, through your conscious mind, know your intention, the creative part of your mind (which is unconscious) does not. Focusing on what you do not want seems like a good way to avoid it, but in reality it tells your mind to create more of it.

4. By "focusing" I mean make internal representations of. This usually means making internal pictures or having internal dialog about something (though there are other types of internal representations).

5. Almost every person focuses without being aware of how they are focusing, and without conscious intention.

This means that the creative power each person possesses to create their reality is operating on automatic, sometimes creating what you want and very often creating what you do not want.

I point out to people what they are doing inside, albeit unconsciously and unintentionally, to create how they feel in each moment, how they behave, and what situations and people they attract. I'm attempting to get you to vividly see the connection between your internal processes and what happens to you, both internally and externally.

Two Questions

There are two obvious questions that should jump out at you as you consider the above.

The first is: Why in the world would someone, even unconsciously, focus on what they do not want--especially given the obviously bad consequences?

The answer is that people who chronically focus on what they do not want are victims of past emotional trauma, generally during childhood. Such people create a generalization about life: that the world is a dangerous place, or at least a potentially dangerous place. Believing this, it's almost common sense to conclude that the wise thing to do is to watch out for this potential danger, so as to avoid it. Unfortunately, as I've already described, your brain takes the attention you place on danger as an instruction to create or attract more of it, and it expertly goes about doing just that. In addition, you instantly feel bad whenever you focus on what you do not want. Healing of the trauma, then--removing the emotional charge from significant negative emotional events responsible for the generalization--removes the pull to focus on what one does not want. When this pull is removed, you naturally and easily focus on what you want and create it in reality.

The second question is: How does one make this powerful creative part of the brain conscious and intentional, so as to use it to create what you want?

These two questions point out that we need 1) a way to remove the emotional charge from past traumatic events, and 2) a way to make ourselves conscious of these previously unconscious processes so we can intentionally direct them to create what we want.

Holosync solves both problems.

Over time, meditation with Holosync removes the emotional charge from past traumas, making them emotionally neutral. It also causes us to realize that there is no reason or benefit to pulling negative emotions from the past into the present. Even if we meet a real and immediate present danger, adding a negative emotional charge from the past has no benefit. Perhaps this type of fight or flight response was helpful in the days when humans had to run from saber-toothed tigers, but in today's world this response is a definite and debilitating drawback--as anyone who suffers from emotional over-reactions to everyday events knows. Below, you will find the actual email from the Centerpointe Research Institute with the links to the newsletter.

Focused Thoughts

I find it interesting how the mind works.
At times when you do not put enough information into it, it will make up it's own thoughts, right or wrong.

I experienced this the other day. I didn't have much information, so my mind automaticly assumed something, and of course it assumed wrong. Was it male thinking? Or from a past experience resurfacing because of a similar lack of input?

Same thoughts, different outcome.
I have learned not to assume something is one way because of past input.
Different situation, different outcome.
