want you to become aware of that for now. You see, it doesn’t matter if you have your eyes closed and have turned your awareness inward like you have done just now, or whether you are going about your daily life blissfully (or not), unaware of all the thoughts that are running inside your mind all the time; running totally subconsciously, and pulling you this way and that without you even being aware of it. Events on the outside triggering thousands of different movies on the inside. Just like when you see a hot girl, and before you know it you are feeling anxious and too self-conscious to walk over to her and say ‘hi’. How did you get from relaxed to scared so quickly? Something must have happened… thoughts!
But how did you manage it when nothing has actually happened? After all, you’ve not even left your seat. Without you being aware of it, your unconscious mind has been running all these thoughts to try to ‘help’ you to be prepared for what it projects will happen next. Your brain is so powerful and always trying to help you, although sometimes it does that in ways that prevent you from even behaving like yourself.
I hope you are beginning to see where I am going with this now. If you are being pulled out of shape by your unconscious mind movies, which you were not even aware of until just a few minutes ago, then you now know that drowning out those unconscious thoughts by ‘doing’ something is utterly useless. Now you will be able to see exactly why you have found yourself where you have been until now: sitting at the bar, looking at the cute girl, terrified to even say ‘hi’. If she was ugly, would you have the same problem? Thought not, literally!
Is it time to switch those movies off yet? Have you had enough of your brain trying to ‘help’ and ‘protect’ you? One thing is for sure: those are not the movies that Tony Pike has in his collection. I’m sure he has plenty of others (most of them X-rated) from his hedonistic adventures, but the self-doubt collectors’ box set is not among them.
TAKE YOUR SEAT IN THE BACK ROW
OK, that is enough talking about it. Let’s get on with making some really powerful changes. Actually, in truth, you have already started.
This exercise is far more powerful than you think, as soon as you take it to the next stage and begin to let go of those thoughts as they come to your mind. But before you do it for the first time, let me be completely clear. What I want you to do is allow those random subconscious thoughts to come to mind then acknowledge them as a ‘thought’ about a ‘thing’. Simply that, a thought, there is nomeaning to it; it is just a thought, and there is also no ‘to do’ either.
For example, if when you close your eyes one of your thoughts is that you have run out of milk, then that is just a thought about milk. It doesn’t mean anything, and doesn’t mean that you need to remember to get some on the way home. It is just a thought about milk – nothing more and nothing less. Acknowledge it as a thought about a thing and just let it go. Get used to thinking to yourself, ‘It’s just a thought’ because it only ever is ‘just a thought’. It only has the meaning that you attach to it and can only be as powerful as you make it. It’s just a thought… now let it go.
You will be amazed at the difference this makes in your life. For me, it has been the single biggest transformative tool I have ever come across. When I learned it, I was in a very dark place. It was approaching the 10th anniversary of my dad’s death and I was really struggling. This technique, and the principles behind it, is so powerful it has been used to get people off crack cocaine, to end inner-city gang culture, and to reform serial offenders and career criminals. All habits can be changed; human behaviour is a product of your state of mind at the time, and your state of mind, as we know, is a direct result of the quality of your thinking. If it can work in
