Everyone in the world of your personal journey will tell you that you need to be careful what you read, watch and listen to. There is a small nuance to this, however, that is really very important. Early in your journey, it matters less. The farther you are into your journey, and the more connected you are to the various forms of consciousness, the more it matters and the more you need to guard yourself.
Why? Your reality is determined by the subconscious mind. For the most part, the beliefs you hold in the subconscious mind tell the subconscious what you want. For example, if you believe that you are not good at things, then the subconscious thinks you want to feel that way, so it will bring you experiences that help you feel that way and prove you right. If you believe that money flows to you easily, then the subconscious will bring you experiences to prove that to you, by having money flowing into your life easily. But we are not always aware of the beliefs that we hold. It takes some digging. One easy way to know the beliefs you have programmed into the subconscious mind it to look around at your life. What kinds of experiences keep showing up? That is what the subconscious thinks you want, based on the beliefs you have programmed into it.
The subconscious mind is given commands by the human consciousness and the god consciousness. You can command the subconscious and reprogram it. So can the god consciousness. The god consciousness or higher self will ensure that the subconscious brings you experiences in line with the plans you made before you incarnated. This accounts for a relatively small handful of milestones that you have little to no choice in carrying out. The rest is up to you. Do anything you like. You are in complete control, whether you know it or not.
Early in your journey, your human consciousness and subconscious are not very well connected. What you feed your mind matters, but only a fraction of it will get into the subconscious mind and affect your reality. This is why you should actually soak in positive things; so that some of them will get through. But the occasional song, headline or show with confrontation, anger, violence or other negative influences will not often result in an immediate change in your reality. It takes a month or more of repeatedly dosing your mind in any concept for it to show up in your reality.
Later in your journey, your human consciousness and subconscious become so deeply connected that they are melded into one. In this state, anything you feed your senses will result in near immediate manifestation into your reality. This is great! You can quickly manifest all kinds of awesome things for yourself and others. BUT you can also manifest all kinds of trouble or negative experiences. The subconscious does not judge and does not filter. If you focus on it, it will be delivered, today.
For example, I have noticed that if I listen to confrontational music at the gym, someone at the gym will be confrontational with me. But if I listen to positive, loving and joyous music at the gym, everyone around me will seem to be acting in a positive and happy way towards me and others. The effect is immediate.
If I am working at the kitchen table, and I have a screen open to a declaration of abundance and success, my work will flow effortlessly with little challenge, and that effect extends in a radius around me, making my husband’s work across the table flow effortlessly as well.
This brings us to an important point. The further you are in your journey, the more you affect not only your own reality, but the reality of everyone and everything in a certain radius around you. That is all the more reason to carefully guard what you think, see, read, watch, listen to and ask for.
When you are farther into your journey, and more connected with your subconscious mind and god consciousness, you cannot indulge in the negative without it showing up in your reality nearly immediately. This is why monks isolate themselves. This is why I do not have any form of TV. This is why I cannot indulge my obsession with Eminem, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent… which sucks, because they are brilliant. This is why I don’t watch movies in any genre other than comedy and romance and the occasional adventure. And this is why my entire environment and schedule is crafted to protect what gets into my mind.
While it is very cool to manifest your reality, everything has a trade off. This particular trade off is not often spoken about, but it should be. A good rule is to start guarding your mind very closely by Stage 8, if not sooner, and to give more importance to crafting your environment in every aspect as you move along your journey.
