Hello, Neil,
Your conscious mind has the creative power to either free you to live in love, or keep you in fear as long as you deem there is no way out. I have one or two simple references to undertanding how our conscious creative mind works, and if you PM me, I'd be happy to send them to you.
The basic premise is that we have a conscious and a subconscious mind. The conscious mind being your daily thoughts, some fleeting, some more deeper. The subconscious mind, something Carl Jung once referred as the collective unconscious, sits underneath, and is connected to God and the universe. At first glance, it appears that from the coscious mind, thoughts and wishes have no power in this physical world. How many people wish for riches, health, a romantic relationship, and never seem to get what they want?
The reality of any person's situation is that the subconscious mind brings into your life not your day to day thoughts, but thoughts that you deeply ingrain into your psyche as being true (beliefs). How does the subconsicous do this? By affecting probabilities. As a man thinketh, so he truly is. Beliefs can be positive or negative. This is how hells and prisons are created. Sayings such as "I'll never win," "this is impossible," "I'll never get that promotion," if believed, sink down into the subconscious mind and are ingrained - much like an old photoraph being etched onto a film.
The subconscious has a connection to the divine in all of us, but no decision making properties. It takes whatever you direct at it, and tries to make it come to pass. But remember, it does not accept fleeting thoughts, or musings, but what the person feels deeply to be true.
If you go through difficult situations in your life, you can sometimes find the workings of your conscious and subconscious mind as cause and effect happenings. It is through these kinds of analyses that we come to understand how our minds really work.
No one has power over you, no matter how cliched that sounds. It is you, who say to yourself "I am 99% under his control." If that is your true belief, you cede your own free will, and your subconscious helps enact that. This is the basis of so called "curses," voodoo and the like. It is the cursed person deeply believing in the curse (which in reality has no more power than any inanimate object over the person.
I suggest the following course. First, try during meditation or just prior to sleep to take a simple phrase, and let it sink in to your subconscious. A positive phrase such as what you are seeking. You can say something akin to "my nature is love, and light. From this point on I will live this way, and nothing has power over me." Some people ask for divine guidance or help this way too. A key factor with this meditation, is that you should do what is called as "seeing the objective as achieved." Picture your feelings and emotions and being free of hellish thoughts. Imagine your smile, and how good it feels, after you make your statement during your meditation. Give thanks for it, as if it has already been accomplished.
This is the key to becoming master of your own consciousness. By putting forward positive thoughts, when you are most relaxed, and by "seeing it as already done" (this is a concept often applied in many christian healing groups), you are ingraining your subconscious much more powerfully than any fleeting thoughts or worries ever could.
PM me, if you'd like more information about this. I wish you the best in coming into your own, and realizing these negative thoughts only have the power you give to them.
