I believe the greatest problem we face is that we think we are running our lives with the wishes, desires, and aspirations created by our conscious mind. When we struggle or fail to obtain our goals, we are generally led to conclude that we are victims of outside forces preventing us from reaching our destination. However,neuroscience has now established that the conscious mind runs the show at best, only 5% of the time. It turns out that the programs acquired by the subconscious mind shape 95 % or more of our life experiences. (Szegedy-Maszak 2005). Since subconscious programs operate without the necessity of observation or control by the conscious mind, we are completely unaware that our subconscious minds are making our everyday decisions. Our lives are essentially a printout of our subconscious programs, behaviors that were fundamentally acquired from others (our parents,family,and community) before we were 6 years old. As psychologists recognize, a majority of these developmental programs are limiting and disempowering. Well learn more about the origins of self-sabotaging subconscious programming in Chapter 7, Conscious Parenting. But for the moment, be aware that there is hope even for those of you who used positive thinking and failed miserably. The profoundly important fact is that disempowerting programs in the subconscious can be quickly rewritten. Using thecniques, such as hypnotherapy, affirmations, body-centered therapies , and a large number of new modalties collectively referred to as energy psychology. (page 98 The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, PhD.) Spontaneous healings,psychic phenomena,amazing feats of strength and endurance, the ability to walk across hot coals without getting burned, acupuntures ability to dimish pain by moving chi around the body, and many other paranormal phenomena defy Newtonian biology. Of course I considered none of that when I was on medical school faculties. My colleagues and I trained our students to disregard the healing claims attributed to acupuncture, chiropractic, massage-therapy, prayer, etc. In fact, we went further. We denounced these practices as the rethoric of charlatans because we were tethered to a belief in old style Newtonian physics. THE HEALING MODALITIES I JUST MENTIONED ARE ALL BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT ENERGY FIELDS ARE INFLUENTIAL IN CONTROLLING OUR PHYSIOLOGY AND OUR HEALTH. (PAGE 69 The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, PhD) Ive been blown away by the power and knowledge of this book. Ive allways felt deep in my chore that we have the power to heal each other, as part of a God that is inside all of us and not just only out there in the heavens. We are ONE with God.
