Re-Programming The Past

Outside Programming Can Set You On The Wrong Path

What is your purpose in life?

What do you hope to achieve?

What do you see as the end result of your life?

Now consider your goals and hopes:

Are they your own? Are they the result of other people’s expectations? If they are not your own, could it be the result of programming by outside agencies, such as parents, religious and educational institutions, friends, teachers, governments, or the media?

Has their programming set you on the wrong path? Has their programming set you on a different path from the one you desire to be on?


Measuring What You Do

Measure what you do and what happens to you because of your present actions. Assess these events: do they further or hinder your life’s goals? You have been blessed with the gift of free will; intruding on that free will, however, are the overlays, the patterns that have been set by other people. Past programming influences your belief systems—what you are, who you are.

". . .maintaining beliefs programmed by others is giving up your free will."

Beliefs—the frames of reference by which you live—come from authority figures and are based on trust for those figures, generally your parents.

Since a belief allows you to accept only information that supports that belief and causes you to reject information that contradicts it, maintaining beliefs programmed by others is giving up your free will. For if you can only accept information that supports your belief and if that belief was formed by another individual, then it is not you creating your reality but in fact that person who installed the belief in you. If your life and your life-style are the way you wish them to be, then the past programming has been good for you and you would not wish to change it.

Consider this, Are you satisfied with where you are in life at the present time? Consider your positives, the good things in your life.


Perspective Makes Events Good or Bad

Consider the negatives, the bad things in your life. Actually things just are; there really are no bad or good things, there are just things. They become good or bad as they relate to you. It is your perspective, your attitude, your viewpoint that makes them good or bad.

For Example: Fire is good when it cooks your food, terrible when it’s burning down your house. Rain is wonderful for the farmer who needs irrigation and terrible for the poor guy drowning in the swollen river nearby.

But what of your own positives and negatives? Do the good things outweigh the bad? Consider your present life as objectively as you can. What is your opinion of your life as it is at present? You might say what we’re looking for here is a life ego as opposed to an individual ego. Your individual ego is your opinion of yourself; your life ego would be your opinion of your life as it is up to the present time. If you’re not satisfied with your life, if your opinion of it is negative, then it is possible that past programming is one of the reasons.


Breaking the Barriers

Let’s see if we can break the barriers that keep you where you are. Let’s discover whether or not you can become more aware of the person that you can be, the person that you’d like to be.

Rid yourself of past programming installed by others. Reprogram yourself according to your own goals.

Past programming is a dam holding back the natural free flow of your life stream. Just as a river is programmed (controlled) by means of a dam - built by agencies to direct the energies of the river to their advantage - so too do outside agencies direct and control you through programming.

To rid yourself of unwanted programming, sit in a comfortable place, go to level, and visualize the dam as your own programming blocked, going no place.

Imagine the dam as representing all those beliefs that are preventing you from achieving what you want.

Release this body of water by visualizing the dam breaking up and the waters of the lake being released to flow once again as a river. The free-flowing water represents your own thoughts, your own mind.

Your thoughts, free to flow as you direct them, suddenly allow you to be in control. You may not be able to control your beliefs if you imagine them as absolute but you can control beliefs when you realize that you have the ability to do so simply by directing them. Your mind will be under your control. After the visualization, consider making a change in your life. First, make a pact with yourself regarding any future attempts by outside agencies to program you.

Close your eyes and repeat these words: “I will only react to constructive suggestions.”

As you repeat the words, concentrate on them. Hear your voice speak each word.


Programming Gets Energies Working For You

Next, prepare to determine your own programming. Consider what you’d like to change in your life. Programming sets energies to work for you (your own programming, that is); it sends messages of energy out into the universe.

Visualization strengthens that energy and lends wings to it. What is it that you’re not satisfied with? You’re in charge now, and now is as good a time as any to reprogram your life. What kind of life-style would you enjoy having? Visualize yourself with this life-style. Visualize yourself enjoying this life-style.

Reprogramming is simply setting yourself down on another road so as to travel in a different direction. It is possible that you are on the wrong path. Imagine that you’re standing at a crossroads, where different roads in front of you lead to different places. Visualize the different place each path leads to.

Visualize the end result of the path you’re currently on. Which road leads to the place you wish to be? How do you get on the right road? You make a change of some sort. It may be a major change such as moving, or not moving; buying, or selling; changing jobs, or staying put. Or it may be seemingly minor, such as changing your eating habits, or cleaning up your home or office.

But whatever the change is, you make it and life gets a little easier. If life does indeed become more satisfying, then obviously you are doing something right. This is a message that says, “You’re getting the idea, keep doing what you’re doing.” If you do it again to enhance the change and life gets better still, that too is a communication to you—a message that you’re doing things right and should continue what you are doing.
