Deep dives
Understanding the Unconscious Mind
The unconscious mind significantly influences daily life, controlling 95% of experiences, relationships, and decisions based on its belief of safety. Familiarity plays a key role in this, as the unconscious perceives experiences it has survived as safe. Consequently, desires that are new or unfamiliar can feel unsafe to the unconscious, which impedes personal growth. To foster change, one must help the unconscious recognize that new experiences are safe through gradual exposure and positive feelings, ultimately allowing for transformation.
The Nature of Memory and Perception
Memories are not just factual recounts of past events; they are coded as either empowering or disempowering experiences. This coding influences future behaviors and perceptions, creating patterns that can perpetuate negative self-views if not addressed. For example, a child's experience in a new environment may embed a sense of disempowerment that can affect their confidence later in life. By reframing and revisiting these memories with compassion, individuals can shift their self-perception and open up to more empowering experiences.
Personal Responsibility and Unconscious Judgments
The unconscious mind internalizes personal judgments and projections, meaning that critical views of others can reflect one’s self-perception. Judging others as weak or incapable inadvertently constructs a self-image aligned with those judgments, which can hinder personal growth. The tendency to critique can also arise from a misguided need for belonging or status, where rejection of what one perceives as negative or weak is believed to provide social currency. Shifting focus toward viewing the world and others positively can facilitate a healthier self-concept and foster genuine change.
The Role of Specificity and Action in Goals
Setting ambitious goals without specificity may lead to unfulfilled desires, as the unconscious prefers clarity and operates on the principle of least effort. It's essential to precisely define what one truly wants, such as financial success, and understand the deeper feelings associated with these desires. Practicing radical ownership of goals and aspirations, rather than downplaying them or fearing judgment, cultivates a more empowering perspective. Moreover, taking action—coupled with the right mindset—reinforces the rewiring of the unconscious, manifesting the desired changes in life.
