It is obviously very useful to be quiet in your head when necessary. What prevents you from being silent? The answer to that question is often: your ego. Your ego was originally intended to assist in your physical life, but it has taken the lead and will not easily relinquish.
The ego has every interest in ensuring that you’re chained to your physical situation, it closes higher insights for you.
The ego includes the roles you play. There are more than one. You play the role of the eternal successful or unlucky guy, the nice chubby fat or ugly, the happy or sarcastic. There are infinitely many roles. The unruly student or the nerd. The rebellious daughter, the caring mother, career woman, the creative cook … every conceivable role, and you yourself change many roles off.
These roles arise, just as your spam filter (in perception), by education, religion, school, culture, image advertising and media sketches, and so on.
See yourself as an actor in a play. For each role and each scene heard some texts, a setting, certain attributes and opponents. You can so absorbed in your role that you realize you do not stage plays. You think you’re way.
Suppose you play the role of the successful businessman playing. Then give that role to shape a lot of money, a nice house, a fast car. You wear a suit and you have an expensive watch on your wrist. Your partner looks pretty expensive dresses in the latest fashion and expensive jewelry. You are as successful as a businessman in your role that you are attached to all those attributes. You could not live without.
This also applies to the role of unlucky. The actor in the role of unlucky has a decor that suits him. He lives in a dreary housing estate in a home with defects. He is not happy in his job, his relationship on the rocks, he is bothered with his health. As strange as it may sound, it can also not without its attributes, because they are also part of his role. Every time he thinks his gloomy thoughts, comes neatly ordered luck and misfortune in his life. He thinks that new car will be back soon, or flaws show up a little dent. And, yes. Soon after buying the trouble begins.
When flu dominates the unlucky course the spool. The evening before his well-earned vacation, he must continue working to twelve hours. At a date, looking for a new partner he thinks they will find me boring. Indeed, she finds him boring. The actor effortlessly manage our for his role in the extreme flushing. The role of unlucky is not harder or easier than the role of the person who is always successful. Basically you have to choose which roles you play.
You’re also an actor, although you might not realize it. The thoughts in your head you will often borrow your memories. You as an actor in the pechvogelrol thinks it was because something went wrong, it will now be wrong again. You as an actor in the role of all-rounder thinks, because it went well then I can do this too. And that would usually succeed.
The latter you will probably call it confidence. You trust in yourself that you can get something. The unlucky situation is essentially the same, but we speak of a lack of confidence. You could also say a bad faith in yourself, you trust that you can not.
Your “luck” is not just a matter of bad faith but also the result of false images in your head. If you think because I will not get sick, you would not expect to get sick. But you see the image you are sick and you say: “I do not want that.”
The image of illness is unfortunately much stronger than the empty words, “I do not want ‘. You pays attention to sick and thus make the idea of illness powerful. The fear of the picture wins and you are sick.
Words have their limitations. We put together letter by letter, form them into words and words that make sentences and messages. We have made arrangements for some words have different meanings. And in any language. From the words transmitted to the receiver form images. Such a difficult process lend themselves to quick communication. The imagery would be far more opportunities.
These are images of your thoughts that count when ordering the Energy Superhighway. The solution is therefore to propose yourself as healthy, happy, happy, living in a nice house, and so successful.
But you must first realize that your roles. The roles you play you have – unfortunately – well pounded into your head. As a result there will be cooked all day for thoughts in your head in the form of texts and images. They are often coupled with strong negative feelings. Example, fears of failure. Or fear of missing out on promotion to your job or you lose if you do not work every day. Fears of too little time to spend with your children. Fears for a bad lover. Fears in your circle are not taken seriously in that car. Fears of being laughed at in your new shorts. Messages to forget your fears. So on. As an actor you are a master of improvisation. In every situation you come across effortlessly comes a series of texts and images from your fears arsenal.
The texts and images for these roles and whirl flutter on. And we pay attention and make them more powerful. Whole sections of the day, whole sections of the journey we are not aware, as we go along with the thoughts of our ego-roles. If we want to get rid of them we have a number of steps.
How do you get a silent head?
1. Accept roles that we play, automatic recognition
2. Become aware that we have a choice. That we can choose our responses to situations to determine.
3. Silence in our minds we create only one thing to concentrate. Preferably something meaningless, something that does not induce all kinds of ulterior motives.
4. If necessary, first remove automatic.
