Hello, fellow paraliminal listeners,
I have a question about paraliminal use: I've had really disturbing images flash into my mind during meditation and in my dreams. I've never seen things like this before and I don't know where they are coming from. I seek to view beautiful images in my mind's eye and in life during the day, and I shun anything that has the taint of evil. I don't like, nor do I accept the ideas of goth, vampires or anything of dark spiritual values. I find these images disquieting, which kind of defeats the idea of the paraliminals, doesn't it? So, where do these images come from and how can I rid my mind of such things in my dreams and anytime, really?

What makes the images disturbing?

They are dark, ugly, unnatural beings, like two dog-like creatures with gnashing teeth leaping on each other in a vicious manner. I can't quite remember the other one, but they are really quick in appearing and I make them go away instantly, because I don't want to think of such things. But, they startle me and it takes effort not to let the images come back.

I'm wondering if my deep religious convictions cause me to react this way. I am seeking to find harmony between my convictions and using these paraliminals and Spring Forest Qigong. There are aspects that seem to harmonize, but things that seem a bit at odds. I suppose I am conflicted inside about this, and perhaps that is the reason for the clashing images that appear.

I have appreciated your answer to me on another topic, even though it was similar in content. I guess i am not convinced, but would like to get a better grasp on your idea. The mind is a very personal and precious gift, the essence of our very beings, so I want to be very careful how I handle mine.

Judgment is happening quickly don't you think? Do you consider dark dangerous, is ugly dangerous or just a perception? They were attacking each other, how were you in danger? You weren't you remained in control and told the images to go away. Just shows how much control you do have.

Don't you think this is a perfect experience to see that, you are already in control? Is denying that animals do fight in the wild to protect their territory, going to make it a better world?

The only thing I see is fear and your fears will be seen by you until you stop denying their existence.

If I see images like that I tend to go, hummm, that's interesting, that's probably a message to look out not to get caught up in someone else's fight. Much more empowering to me than no, this is not good, I must not see things like that and then the next day find myself in the middle of a fight between two people. It becomes a tool, okay there is an ugly fight over there, what choices do I have if I were to witness a fight like that in my life, join in, just watch, move on, call someone to help break it up... probably more options than if I think, no I must not see these things.

I've had an "A-ha" moment! I see what you are saying, Alex, but actually, in retrospect (and honestly, I think I knew this from the beginning, but didn't realize it at the time) I believe the images were a warning to me. The two dog-like creatures came up together, so I guess that's why I thought they were fighting, but now in looking back at that particular image, I realize they weren't fighting, but were together, in unison, snarling at ME! So, yes i believe I was in danger within the dream, or the vision... whatever it was, which is why I felt the need to dis-spell it immediately.

"Dark and ugly" are the only way I could find to express what I saw. Yes, it brought up fear within me. They were ferocious and snarling, they appeared slimy, dark and ugly, which all together were a fearful sight to me. They were in stark contrast to the rest of the dream or vision...whatever it was. I see evil as dark and ugly, in contrast to light and beauty being good - in a spiritual sense. Evil is death, light is life. I don't buy the idea that there is no death but just a change from one form of life to another. Death = no life, non-existence.

I just recommend learning to look at why did my mind bring that up. There is a message, the two dogs could well have been two people who are working together to take you in the wrong direction for you.

I find much more power in accepting the images and looking for the message. Sometimes the message needs to be given in a way that you will notice it. Trying to say, no I don't want images like this I refuse to see them will only create worse until you notice that the mind is receiving a message. How else can we possibly receive information?

I believe you are right in that the images indeed do have a message to me. It is a warning to me and through prayer, asking my Father in Heaven for an answer to what the warning is, I believe it has been answered. I believe the warning is about the paraliminals, themselves, so I have requested to return the programs and have my money refunded.

I do thank you, though, Alex, for helping me to realize what I needed to do. I just feel that if I stay very close to Jesus that I will be safe. That may seem outmoded or ignorant to some, but how can one go wrong by holding fast to the Word of the Creator of the whole universe? I gave myself to Him and He is mine. My soul is protected under His wings. I choose His Light in His Word, and I was wrong to go straying off on another path.

I had thought that these programs (SFQ and UYM) could work along with my religious convictions, but now I see that they just don't. I very much appreciate Chunyi LIn's love, kind manner and gentleness, and Paul Sheele's kindness and gentleness, as well. I wish them only good.

I wish you and everyone here at Learning Strategies and at the forums many blessings always and in all ways. I will keep you all in my prayers.

With Love,
Koco

I find that interesting. Since the Paraliminal do not suggest a or in any way discourage your faith. They help you tap and harness the faith. It's nice to see that the Paraliminals have helped you to do that.

I did return the SFQ program today, but I'm too late for the UYM program, so I've still got it. I am still conflicted about using the paraliminals, but since I still have my CDs, I'm open to learning more about using them.

Do they really help one gain more control over their own minds, or could it be possible that one only THINKS that is happening when in reality, one's mind is becoming bubble gum? I ask this because it just seems like there is so much duplicity going on in the world, where one thing is said and really another thing is what is happening. Like "We want you to pass this bill so you are more safe" and in reality what's happening is that you are being tracked in everything you do.

I'm a bit skeptical of things that are said these days. Yeah, I've been gullible, too, and gotten burned, hence my skepticism. So, I suspect that you would HAVE to say that they help one to find solutions in their lives because you are part of the company that puts them out, but what kind of a track record can you offer to prove their value? Which ones do YOU use? How often do you use them? How have they helped you?

The thing about Paraliminals is they tap your values, your resources. They don't try to change you from external world or external pressure. They tap the skills you have. Help you to make decisions on your values. And build strength in areas where you are weak, where weakness is just often automatic reaction to the external world.

I actually loved and benefited from Paraliminals before Learning Strategies I started working for Learning Strategies. I'm AlexK in older forum post. What I gained most from Paraliminals is the helped me to tap me. To be the person I'm meant to be. Nothing that Learning Strategies taught took me away form my values. Everything I learned helped me to discover my values and start living them with awareness and to face life with a lot less fear. Because I discovered I didn't need as much protection as I thought because it's naturally there.

Did you know that sitting in prayer is actually sitting in meditation? Yet how many people don't know what to pray for, how to open up to receive. Washing dishes is often a meditation. Paraliminals are about just ask you to start thinking in ways that is helpful for you, to see opportunities that the higher source (God if you like) puts on your path. So instead of going around the boulder you too might find the strength to move the boulder and find the gift of the money purse that is underneath.

Don't they say God is omniscient? And doesn't it mean that no part of anything can be removed from the omniscient?

There is an old Indian story where the grandfather says to the grandson. The mind like a battle between two wolves, one good and one evil.
Grandson asked, which one wins?

The old Indian replies, the stronger one.

"which one would that be?"

"The one you feed."

You feed your mind and Paraliminals are only something you can use to start feeding your mind to get you going in the direction you want to go.
