Creative Visualization versus Worshiping an Image

Episode 16: Understand how toxic culture programs the subconscious mind and gaslights it. Gerald Epstein, MD No discussion of Creative Visualization would be complete without a discussion of the incredible contribution by the late Gerald Epstein, MD. He was a psychiatrist that studied under a visualization healer in Israel for 9 years and used it to heal all sorts of things in psychiatry. A mental picture, it turns out, is a part of how we record long-term, emotional memories. These involve the amygdala and, as previously discussed, the electromagnetic body memories involved in flashbacks. The mental picture appears to be key in both unlocking the stuck, trapped emotion event as it's held in the body, AND available for clearing during body work sessions. https://vimeo.com/1129312070 Download & Share the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT. Visualization is also involved in planning the future, imagination, creativity, problem-solving and keeping yourself patient while you're waiting for something to unfold in the future. If you consume news and entertainment, the subliminal messages they're giving you are the visual images that you're internalizing into your subconscious. If you don't know how to clear it, or spend enough time in a release practice, this could feed further nightmares after watching a movie. Therefore, if you consume 3-5 hours of news and entertainment then their script is writing the script for the visual images in your head for a substantial part of your waking hours. The time wasted has opportunity cost, further reducing the time to have original thoughts and images you create. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1883148103/ref=mes-dp?_encoding=UTF8 When Fanaticism Turns to Worship The sheer number of hour spent being entertained are concerning, when you consider the importance of internalized, mental pictures. Staunch resistance to change the media-consuming lifestyle sometimes borders on religious zealotry. I know of entire families that never spend anytime in free thought. If there were evil powers behind the curtains, pulling the strings of subconscious messaging in the media... Well, let's just say it appears that the news emphasizes negativity, false politics, and trauma to control the people's feelings that just emotionally obey because they have so trained themselves to follow. https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Visualizations-Creating-Through-1997-01-31/dp/B017MYQFW8
