The Undeniable Power of Suggestion
The Undeniable Power of Suggestion by Lady Camelot
How exactly is the Human Psyche effected by the trivial "power
of suggestion?" When a thought or seed is planted into the human
mind, the psyche responsively triggers a lingering product of
that thought. For example, urban legends have been circulated
throughout history; in doing so, a mindset is incorporated into
the psyche, creating a deceitful illusion that cannot
distinguish fact from fiction.
Because the human brain is so very complex, it is sometimes
unable to relinquish imbedded legends and trauma - somewhat like
a computer, imbedded with a virus. {Coincidentally, the computer
virus parallels the human psyche because we tend to go around
the harbored culprit by avoidance, until we are compelled to
face it when negligence is no longer available to us.}
Eventually, the human psyche begins to hone in on the product
whereby the mind can no longer extract necessary information to
adequately function. This, in turn, can cause fatigue, insomnia,
phobias and various other problems in one's routine. As
mentioned earlier, urban legends can distract the human psyche
into believing something that is absolutely bogus.
In the mind-altering radio broadcast drama by Orson Wells in the
early 50s, not only was the power of suggestion utilized, but
also began the era of mythical urban legends of modern day
society. At that time, the human psyche was so dramatically
effected by the theatrical storyline that the thought patterns
were directly influenced and seized for the duration of the
broadcast. Or better yet, children are likely portals of
trauma-induced, and prison-like mindsets. The human psyche acts
as a shield; but eventually, is pierced through power of
suggestion, urban legends and unfolding, traumatic events.
In the case of a battered child, the human psyche tends to
harbor feelings of guilt, abandonment and residual anger. But
because the human psyche has barred all intervention, the
emotional side of the psyche will not transmit these deep-seeded
feelings and emotions until a "trigger" allows it to escape. The
same applies to phobias induced by childhood events like being
stung by a bee, or even adult phobias where one may have been
victimized by crime or other issues; another being the
tall-tale, urban legends that have been passed down from
generation to generation. These installations of the psyche
instinctively retract to the hidden corners of our minds.
So, how do we extract these details so to function more
appropriately? Unbelievably, and holistically speaking, the
power of suggestion cannot be only mental undoing; but can also
be the mental regrouping or intuitive spark of the human psyche.
When we force ourselves to encounter events from the past, or
discover that certain urban legends aren't real, or face our
phobias head on, the human psyche can release frozen material
and absolve us from it.
When speaking of the power of suggestion, it simply translates
to mind over matter. By coming to terms with an issue,
addressing it and affirming your stance over it, the human
psyche can and will bring about unsettled emotions, fears and
feelings. In doing so, the human psyche collaboratively enables
the mind, body and spirit to release tension and stress; thus
allowing total peace of mind, and an overall sense of
well-being.
The power of suggestion is indeed omnipotent when used in
positive conjunction as a method of self-treatment. Daily
affirmations, meditations and Tai-Chi are wonderful vessels for
the power of suggestion, spiritual & emotional health, and good
anatomical health as well.
In closing, a quote from F. Langbridge from 'A Cluster of Quiet
Thoughts' -- "Two men look out through the same bars: One sees
the mud, and one the stars..."
In other words, the human psyche has internal insight to control
our individual being...the way we view our environments, events
and people can be fulfilling and happy if we allow our psyche to
free itself -- through power of suggestion.
