Molding ForcesWe are all subjected to the culture that we live in to a much larger extent that most of us would ever dream. We are given a name we did not pick, a language we did not select, and customs that we must accept. If we break these rules, we can end up being laughed at, attacked or thrown in jail. In most areas of the world walking around naked, wearing the wrong clothes, or saying the wrong thing can be very dangerous. The collective force of all those who influence our life we will call Molding Forces (MF). The MFs in our lives are like the way fish sense water, they don't unless these are out of it. So like the fish, we seldom notice these forces until we visit another country or culture and experience a whole new system of doing things, of beliefs and language. When we contrast what we are used to with something fresh and different we are faced with taking a look what used to escape our notice and concern. But without a culture, our culture, we would not know to drive on the left or right side of the street, or how to use our language. We would quickly adapt or remain in a state of feeling alien to the world. Our culture allows us to feel at home, allows us to reduce our anxiety and put our guard down. As our mind starts to develop, it is given examples of our to be. A baby knows how to cry. It is a built in program, a script of behavior. As our behavior becomes more complex and we start to learn, we pick up various personalities from yet another set of examples. Jung described these forces as "archetypes". A child will play games where he is a hero (superman, for example) or where she is the mother with her dollies. As the mind develops further, the universal hardwired archetypes are mixed with experiences and learnings and another set of archetypes are created, which are the beginnings of an adult personality. As the mind grows, the feats it performs seem truly amazing. Sometimes too amazing. Selective Attention, Completion, Viewing and Rewarding Molding forces can be very fast indeed. For example, some people can seemly answer any question by just opening the Bible "blindly" and pointing to a passage. Selective Attention occurs when our subconscious is narrowly focus, often without our conscious knowledge. This is the force of selective attention at work. When the subconscious mind sees before we do, we can select a passage before we consciously read it. The subconscious picks how many words are needed, and how to make them work. Often the interpretation often is very board, and in fact too broad. In palm reading and astrology work, selective completion is another way one can make bad belief systems actually work. When the palm is read, or the astrology session is to be ended by the operator, the operator waits until the client is pleased. It is like a gambler who quits when they are ahead. In selective viewing, one might every clock as one drives down the street because they are late. You might see (actually notice) a lot more red Fords than normal, mainly because you just brought one. In selective rewarding an animal such as a bear is given a food pellet when the animal approximates a wanted behavior. So what does this have to do with molding forces. When a husband receives smile from his wife or kids when he approximates a behavior his is being trained without knowing it. This is the power of love. It is a prime ingredient in generation of molding forces. If we go outside the culture of the family, we can interpret a smile as a force and ruin the family relationship. So to be in love means to be in the culture of another person. Hypnotism So is love a form of hypnotism ? There are two basic forms of hypnosis. One is self induced and the other induced by someone else. In either case, you make the conscious mind bored, really bored; busy, but really bored. Look into spiral that is moving, or a rocking shinny key chain. After a short time, the subjective mind takes over. The subject mind is the part of the mind that takes orders and does not question anything. Being hypnotised is very relaxing and can be truly euphoric. We hypnotize ourselves as we fall asleep. We get bored and tired, and the subjective mind takes over. For example, light hypnotism can take place during boring sermons, rhythmic music, and in Sufi practices such dancing, whirling and head movements. Mass media advertising and programming exploits hypnotic techniques. Subjective and Subconscious Minds What is the difference between the subjective mind and subconscious mind? The subconscious mind is the push behind the conscious mind. It remembers and acts on its memories. It makes us decide when we think we are choosing. It is the power for the most of the molding forces we experience. It learns and helps us blend in to our culture. The subjective mind is also behind the scenes, yet it cannot think inductively and reach conclusions from a group of facts. It wants and requires orders, and then uses deductive reasoning to take care of detail. In other words, if you think about a glass of water you might find that you got a glass of water with very little thought. The subjective mind contains scripts and it just reads the get a glass of water script for you. When we are hypnotised, the subconscious and conscious minds are at a low level and we just follow orders, our own (like chanting) or someone else (such as instructions from an operator). How to Protect Yourself From Molding Forces When you are bored and have to set through a religious service, political speech or messages from mass media, remember you are subject to being programmed. Do not eat a lot of sugar when you are at a church or temple. A sermon is made more effective if cookies and donuts are served. The sugar in these foods raise the blood sugar, trigger the pancreas gland which gets rid of the blood sugar by injecting insulin in the blood. The problem is that pancreas gland goes into overkill and soon there is very low levels of blood sugar. In this state one feels weak, a little dizzy and sleepy. Low blood sugar creates hunger. Bonding can occur more easily when people share good food. So your subjective mind become open as you have fun, so make sure the fun you have are with people who think for themselves. Being hypnotized can be dangerous. For example, getting bored driving could prove fatal. More over, do not drive when sleepy or bored. Stop and go for a walk. Call someone while parked. It could save your life. One way to block the process is to stop the process. Get out of the car and walk. Turn off mass media, rethink your religious beliefs and political ideas. Chant or sing to yourself to block the message. You do not have to listen or believe. Truth comes from inside you. Stay free. But this does not mean you have to invent your truth. Visit lots of places and select the one that seems to hold the most truth for you and reserve the right to change your mind. Vehicles of Transendence Induced belief systems do not need to be true or be tested. If we go to a flying saucer group, and we can get molded . We might believe in the power of extraterrestrial and this belief will change our station or level of consciousness. The belief was a catalyst, but not part of the reaction or in other words did not have to be true. These beliefs work even if they are not true and are called "vehicles of transcendence" (coined by Eugene Taylor). Comments
