Metaphor
Do you know that you aren't even close to using your potencial.? You are locked into your own limited belief system and its holding your back. I´m talking about the way you´ve been conditioned by the nine dots of your past experiences, your ºº..born with it, born without it..ºº attitudes, your ººSure Enoughºº snakes on the floor, and your flat world thinking. Limiting forces which cause you to believe and act according to how you were taught and reared. I´ll show you how to overcome all that but there´s something else you must overcome first. As you´ll see shortly, it has something to do with The Wizard of Oz.
Remember about affirmations statements of fact or belief.? When your give yourself a strong affirmations about something, it becomes part of your belief system and affects how you think and act, until you change the belief. Well, the affirmations for others can do the same thing. In the past, you accepted other people´s versions of reality as ººthe truthºº, and you accumulated a lot of ººgarbaged inºº junk that might still be part of the way you view yourself and the world.
Let´s say, for example, that when you were a kid, you vowed to yourself, ººI hate liver and onionsºº. It taste awful. ººKeep in mind that your subconscious doesn't know your exaggerating. It accepts your affirmations literally. In this case, it said, ººOkay, whenever you eat liver and onions, it´ll taste awful. You´ll hate it.ºº Sure enough, you hate it. When you grew older, you didn't need to remember the vow, automatically acted like it. Even though you may have forgotten that particular vow, you hate liver and onions to this very day. That one time affirmation keeps working and you don't question why.
As kids, we make all sorts of vows, ººI´m scared to death of heights,ºº ººI´m afraid of dark,ºº ººI´m frightened ofºº When we get older, we´re still scared of those same things simply because we said we were. That´s the power of words to build belief. So, if you talked yourself into believing your own vows about ººThe truthºº who else´s vows did you believed.? What did your brother or sister tell you about reality that you believed.? What did your parents tell you that shaped yourself image..? How about your grandparents, your relatives, teachers, employers, coaches, friends.? How many of their liver and onion vows have you digested without a second thought..?
It´s like the placebo effect, the sugar pill that has the power to make you feel well. The power isn´t really in the pill, is it.? Its in your acceptance of the doctor´s affirmation that ººThis pill will get you wellºº It´s the belief that makes you well. But belief can also make you sick, can´t it..? It´s a matter of what you tell yourself or what someone else tells you that you believe.
Throughout your life in your home, in your neighborhood, at your job people will constantly give you negative placebos that will make you feel sick. A lot of people will tell you, ººAin´t it awful.?ºº and there´s no hope.ºº and ººYou can´t get that job.ºº and ººIt´s a waste of time to..ºº Got anyone like that in your life right now.? Someone who knows ººThe truthºº and wants you to know it, too..? Beware. Because your subconscious can´t distinguish between positive or negative placebos, happy or depressing thoughts, healthy or harmful beliefs. It´s doesn't care if you´re happy or sad, healthy or sick. It simply accepts whatever you tell it, literally, like a vow. So, you can talk yourself into or out of self limiting, denigrating beliefs. You can talk yourself into or out of EXCELLENCE...
