END OF ADDICTION
Over and over again I have been asked about the subject of addiction. Is it possible to ‘cure’ an addiction? I submit that it is. I know, I know. I am going to get beaten up mightily over a statement such as this. But let us look at a few facts. It is first vital to understand that your thoughts create your reality. This is common sense. If you can control your thoughts, you can control your personal reality. More common sense. Now, humans are capable of only so much. They can communicate. They act. They feel. They believe. They decide. It is a fact that your communication stems from your thought. Control your thought and you will control your communication. Your feelings stem from your thought. Control your thought and you will control your feelings. Your beliefs derive from your thought patterns. Control your thought and you will control your beliefs. Your decisions are formed from your thoughts. Control your thought and you will control your decisions. Your actions stem from your thoughts. Control your thoughts and you can control your actions. In short, you can control everything you personally experience by rearranging your thoughts. This should be of paramount importance to you,Nike Vandal, if you wish to find peace, joy and happiness. For you CHOOSE everything you say, do, feel, believe and decide. You are responsible, at some level, for all of it. Notice that I said at some level. This holds true in every respect. If you ‘feel’ bad, you have chosen to accept the thoughts that create this feeling. If you act poorly,Nike Air Classics, you have chosen to accept the thoughts that allow this. Etc. Etc. You get the idea. But here is an even more important concept: You are not necessarily in charge of this process at a conscious level! The process of choosing a thought does not have to be conscious. As a matter of fact, the conscious level is the much smaller part of your mind. Everything that happens within the body is the result of a mind process. Now, you do not have to remember to breathe, do you? Yet you breathe without thinking about it. Why? You do not have to remember to make your heart beat, do you? Yet your heart beats, does it not? Why? Your kidneys and liver function. You sweat. This happens because the mind, at a level YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF, causes these processes to take place. This simply means there is a level of mind which functions without your knowledge. This is called the subconscious (below the threshold of awareness) level of mind. We know this. Our senses are bombarded with literally thousands of bits of sight impressions, sound impressions, tastes, smells and physical sensations each and every minute. If we were to become consciously aware of all of these at once, we would most likely go mad! If you are sitting down while reading this, have you noticed the pressure on your backside? The taste in your mouth? The feeling in your hands? The sounds in the room? No. These are filtered out so that you may pay attention to these written words. But who, or more appropriately what, decided what should be filtered? And why? The subconscious decided. On its own. Based on past experience. If you are addicted to anything, you have chosen the thoughts that will allow this. But perhaps you did not do this CONSCIOUSLY. It could be that it was chosen outside of your sphere of awareness by your SUBCONSCIOUS mind. The mind is totally responsible for every process in the body and every mental perception you hold. If you can accept this now, this will save you completely from any negative mental state, including addiction of any kind. You believe you are at the mercy of your thoughts, for it appears as though you cannot control what seems to come to you. But you can. For, what often comes to you, is simply a choice made FOR you BY your subconscious mind. |
