When you realize that human beings consist of trillions of programmable cells, it is especially important to know how the cells get programmed and how you can reprogram them.
Your developmental experiences from the moment of conception are creating memories, receptors, and programmed responses.
The important lesson here is that our mind/body system comes with foundational genetic software that is programmed by environmental stimuli before birth, and that programming continues by way of parental and societal attitudes, values, and beliefs after we are born.
research shows that we are most programmable from conception to about age six.
Contemporary studies in neurophysiology show that our reactions to various stimuli are decided before we become consciously aware of them.
“As much as 99 percent of cognitive activity may be nonconscious.”13 The fact is, as adults, we spend most of our time subconsciously responding to life rather than consciously creating it.
So the next question is: Can detrimental or outdated parental and societal software be changed? The answer is yes.
Ever try to change your mind, only to find out that your mind has a mind of its own?
The software we have been talking about is often expressed as attitudes, values, and beliefs. These programs create a kind of filtering system through which we see the world and our place in it. These perceptions determine our choices and direct our behaviors. In other words, we don’t see the world as it is. We see it as we are!
Speaking the Language of the Subconscious The subconscious mind is sensory based and knows the world only through the five senses: visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), kinesthetic (feeling), gustatory (tasting), and olfactory (smelling).
The secret is to use a change process that allows the subconscious mind to choose its own method of processing, rather than choosing the method consciously.
VAK to the Future
always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. –Lily Tomlin
It is important to define your goal as specifically as possible and to do it in sensory-based language (visually, auditorily, and kinesthetically). For example, if your goal is to be happy, it is helpful to the subconscious mind if you can answer the following sensory-based questions:
What will you see in your life that will let you know that you have achieved your goal?
What will you hear other people saying about you when you have accomplished your goal? What will you be saying to yourself?
How will you feel when you have accomplished your goal?
While thinking about the past feeling, ask yourself where in your body you notice the greatest concentration of the feeling. 2. What color do you associate with it? 3. What temperature is it? 4. What shape is it? 5. Does it have a texture?
VAK to the Future
You are in effect creating a road map for the subconscious to follow until it arrives at its specified destination. If you don’t know where you are going, how will you know when you arrive?
As you have learned, PSYCH-K is based largely on whole-brain integration processes derived from years of split-brain research.
Problems are a part of our meaningful experiences. They can be the bearers of important messages. Have you noticed that even if you can get rid of the problem, it will often recur in the same or a different form to give you yet another chance to learn the lesson it may represent? In fact, it often comes back with a vengeance.
Whether you call it Superconscious Mind, Higher Self, Spirit, Soul, or something else, the concept of a part of consciousness beyond our conscious and subconscious minds has been a part of human culture for millennia.
our conscious mind that is designed to set goals and judge results; it is our volitional mind. By contrast, the subconscious is the habitual mind.
The superconscious mind is different from either of the other “minds.” It’s more like a watchful and caring parent. Its job is to oversee the developmental process of your growth and evolution as a spiritual being having a human experience–to enable you to learn your lessons and grow up to be a fully functioning adult.
PSYCH-K relies on the inner wisdom and ability within the individual–a wisdom and ability most people don’t even know they have.
superconscious mind has wisdom and perspective the subconscious and conscious minds don’t have.
Its job is to provide counsel and support to the other levels of mind and to help manifest the intentions of the conscious and subconscious mind by creating those “meaningful coincidences” in life that some people call “luck.” It usually works through the faculty of intuition.
Formula for Manifestation Intention + Intent + Meaningful Ritual + Action = Manifestation Step 1. Set Intention/Goal Decide what you want. Your intention is your goal. This should be stated in the first person, present tense (as if it were already true), reflecting what you DO want rather than what you DON’T want. Example: “I am happy and content” is better than “I am not depressed.” Define the goal in sensory-based language, (i.e. visual, auditory, and kinesthetic language or symbols).
Check for Intent Decide whether you really want it, and what the ramifications might be in your life if you get it. Intent is the emotional component of the process. It represents your desire and commitment to achieving your goal. Is it something you REALLY want or just a good idea, as long as you don’t have to work very hard or risk much to get it? Ask yourself these questions: “Is it really worth wanting? Are you emotionally invested in getting it? What sacrifices are you willing or not willing to make in order to achieve your goal?” Step 3. Communicate Intention to the Subconscious Mind

the facilitator choose it. This is an important step in PSYCH-K. If omitted, as is the case with many well-intentioned processes for personal change, it makes the outcome much less certain. Without direct communication with the subconscious mind you are simply guessing which approach will work to make the change you desire. This step is critical! If done properly, it will align the subconscious mind with your conscious goal, turning manifestation of your goals into a habit rather than an effort. Step 4. Take Action Using your “intent” from Step 2, take action/s to manifest the potential

the “man behind the curtain,” he tells Dorothy and the other seekers that they already possess the gifts they are seeking. The power and wisdom they desire is already within each of them. The Great Oz provides them with meaningful rituals, conferring to each of them the powers they seek.
Glenda, the Good Witch of the North, reminds Dorothy that, “You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas.” In that scene, the Scarecrow asks Glenda why she didn’t tell Dorothy about this ability sooner. The Good Witch answers by saying, “Because she wouldn’t have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.” When asked what she had learned from her experience, Dorothy says, “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard, because if it isn’t there, I never lost it to begin with.” Dorothy’s belief was all she needed to achieve her heart’s

the answers you seek are already within you.
One of the main obstacles to creating such a world lies in the distorted psychological “filters” through which we perceive ourselves and our reality. As Albert Einstein once said, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one.” By changing these subconscious “filters,” we can reperceive ourselves, and the world
in which we live. We can literally create a new reality.
