Sometimes recalling long forgotten statements leads to a miraculous transformation. So I’ve observed in my coaching work.
The word was spoken around the time the problem started. Had the word not been spoken, the problem would have naturally come and gone like a piece of driftwood in a river. But it stayed.
Recalling that long lost word and how it started the problem, miraculously✨stops it. You’re released from the compulsion to live by the word you spoke.
The lost word inhabits the subconscious. It was accepted as true in a time of upheaval. You made a decision based on anger, sadness or fear.
But help is on the way – by mere awareness of the lost word!
It was spoken by the afflicted person. Sometimes the word was forcefully voiced by someone nearby – a person one trusted or feared. The subconscious takes intentful words as commands.
The subconscious also stores positive commands made in states of elation. Some long forgotten positive ones may become a hindrance later in life. It may be hard to believe but some of the “unwanted” stuff happening to you was once wanted. I used to get upset at receiving hundreds of emails a week. It’s a problem important emails are buried in countless lesser ones. BUT: There was a time I was much younger and my email box was empty and I wished people would give a damn about my work.
I dare say that anything “unwanted” in your life was “wanted” at some level of consciousness, long forgotten. Controversial but true: Many have a secret desire to fail.
One student recalled the day his back pain started. The pain went for 10 years! His drug-peddling doctors could not help.
In meditation I took him back to that day he was lifting heavy boxes to be delivered to a grocery – the first time he felt a sharp pain in his back. I asked him to focus on what he was telling himself that day. He didn’t remember until I used the word “shouting” – that triggered the memory. Before the pain even started he shouted “this is going to kill my back”. And at the first sharp pain he called “Goddammit! I knew it! God damn this shit!”.
One moment…one small realization…BIG result.
At that instant, the issue was already solved and the pain would never return. I asked him to say something friendly to his back and he said “Thank you for supporting me all my life. Thank you back for having my back”. He chuckled and that ended 10 years of self-oppression.
A simple forgotten word can cause a lot of harm because we are reality-creators. We have so much power that exclaiming “Kill my back and have God damn it” was taken by the subconscious as a command.
The technique:
You focus on a problem and ask what thought, emotion, intention or decision may have caused it. That’s it. Simple enough?
The question triggers memories and words. When you find the right one, you feel a shift in perception, a relief. If you don’t know whether something has changed, it hasn’t.
If you can’t find the word: it’s normally a statement or declaration that exactly describes what you’re afflicted with. Try to reach back to the first time it happened and view the scene with non-triggered, non-emotional attention.
“Positive thinking” and “autosuggestion” type methods can act as delivery-systems for positive commands, but I don’t use them because too much “positive affirmation” can suppress lost words. It’s better to consciously bring up the hidden beliefs and consciously replace them than parrot positive affirmations.
Find the lost word. Then replace it with a new word. And make it a completed word (see previous article “The Completed Word”).
