Leaving Barbarism

Many demonstrations and scientific experiments have shown that behavior, sensations, and beliefs can be modified by hypnosis (and in very many people); but some of us successfully resist being influenced by hypnosis when performed by another person. Autosuggestion is an entirely different matter.

As you become familiar with your higher self, even if you are not living continuously in your higher self, you inevitably have feelings and intentions that are positive. This is in sharp contrast to the discomfort you experience when you get angry or have other destructive feelings. Still, many people have reservations about dismissing anger entirely, given some misguided understandings of justice, fairness, defense of one's reputation, and others. There are obstacles as well concerning the complete purging of identification with each destructive feeling. They each have their lure.

There comes a point when you decide it is best to dismiss a particular destructive feeling, but you find yourself reacting out of habit.

You are able to make a statement about yourself as though it were already true and manifest its truth into existence. What do you fervently wish to suggest to yourself? What do you fervently wish to change?

Our culture is loaded with self talk that holds us back. It has an influence on the speaker. As absurd as it may seem, I have even heard somebody say "I am not a memory person."

You can consider a statement about yourself that you wish to manifest and make that statement to yourself often. Here are some examples:

"I do not identify with anger and the behaviors that it invites."

"I do not intend any harm."

"I love humanity."

"I speak only the truth."

"I forgive misguided people."

"I have empathy and compassion."

"I am my higher self."

"I am at peace."
