Jedi mind tricks

Posted on by philipdodson

They are everywhere and they catch many.

It is amazing that our ‘radar’ for things, our instinct, has been so overridden by our repeating mind patterns that we cannot see anymore when we are being led along by the never-ending tsunami of messages, collective thoughts and broadcasts.

Our wisdom doesn’t come from the mind it comes from the soul, from our very essence, but we can not employ that wisdom unless we are conscious and disassociated with our self-image, our story, our thoughts. We need to be connected with all that is, the universe, our essence, in order to tap into the wisdom.

The mindstream is powerful and it drags us along like a strong magnet from one thought and distraction to another. It is ready to pounce on anything that will trigger more of it too. The mind does not like the conscious present moment, it prefers the past and to hurry you along to the future, where everything will be better. The present moment is just a means to end and not to be enjoyed.

This means that our wisdom remains hidden within the soul and Jedi mind tricks work a treat on the unconscious mind.

A light in the cave

The repeating patterns of thought, the ones that we have had thousands of times before, are there all the time in the background.

They are so normal that we do not notice them. It is like static or white noise, playing 24/7.

These thoughts are not constructive, positive or new.

To find them we need to bring awareness and consciousness to ourselves. It is a bit like shining a light into a dark cave, these thoughts hide deep in the cave, deep in our unconsciousness.

If we remain in the moment, present, conscious, and awake, then the light shines on them, once we see them we can then choose to change them, to stop them. Once the light is shined on them they can not survive.

Consciousness is achieved when we allow our thoughts to be, simply witnessing them and not responding so as to not energise them. If we focus on the beauty around us, the noise, the light, the smells, the sounds, our own breathing and inner energy, then we can take that light into the cave and find those deep unconscious thoughts.
