How to Gain Control Over the Subconscient Impact on the External Being

0:01 Ideally we want some kind of a pill we can take, some kind of an instant solution, some magic formula that will instantly resolve some difficulty we face when a subconscient formation has been triggered. We react without any advance warning when this occurs. It is also the source of many deep seated psychological responses, whether in terms of our emotional response, our physical response, or any habitual patterns we have developed over time. This includes things such as addictive behavior, emotional eating, and various forms of codependent relationships.

0:44 If it were only so simple to take a pill and have the situations all fully resolved for all time. Just as we find with any attempt to carry out a diet or eliminate addictions to tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, the idea of simply exercising willpower or making a resolution of some sort does not ensure success. In fact, judging by the results most people obtain, it is not truly a matter of being weak willed. Although people then blame themselves and further embed negative emotions and traumas into the subconscious through this self blaming that they undertake or through the external shaming and finger pointing that comes from their family, friends and people they interact with in society. Mass media and social media reinforce these things, both the negative addictive behaviors that the individual grapples with and the failure to resolve it through willpower alone. All of this can be seen as counterproductive in any real sense.

2:02 Thus, people then try to turn to chemistry, and the society focuses resources on developing pharmaceutical approaches to overcome addictions that are associated with physical activities, including weight loss, drugs and various drugs that help relieve the stress of nicotine or alcohol addiction, et cetera. All of these approaches may be useful to some degree as part of a larger, more comprehensive process. But they fail on their own because they do not get to the root of the issue, which is the encapsulated trauma embedded in the very cells of the body and in the trained memory of the subconscious mind.

2:49 And they then try to suppress or tamp down the behavior when it arises without actually eliminating the underlying formation that causes these things. It is in fact, For these reasons that Trioro Bindo suggested that rather than rooting around in the subconscient levels, the practitioner should focus the effort on redirecting the attention to the higher super conscient force, becoming receptive to it, and let it work. The light of the higher planes of consciousness can do what our mental, vital physical approaches cannot do, which is expose the interconnected elements of the formation to the light and rewire the reactive process tied to the formation.

3:41 Pavitra asks how to do it, The mother responds. Quote How to do it, Mother laughs. How to do it? It is the same thing as the same method as knowing how to destroy a formation. You understand it is a certain strength to dissolve things which can undo formations. It depends on the nature of the formation. If it is like this, a formation of an adverse kind, then you need the force of a perfectly pure constructive light. If you have this at your disposal, all that you have to do is to bombard the thing with it and you can dissolve it. But it is an operation which must be performed with inner forces.

4:30 It cannot be done physically. That is why all physical remedies you see are simply palliatives. They are not cures because they are not strong enough to touch the living centre of the thing. Silence. The same phenomenon occurs with moral difficulties. If one could succeed in destroying their remembrance, destroying in oneself the memory of the state one is in when in that difficulty, If one is sincere, it would be the end of all difficulties forever.
