I listened to a radio interview tonight with Bruce Lipton. Bruce is an American developmental biologist, who is best known for promoting the idea that genes and DNA can be manipulated by a person's beliefs.
Bruce explained how the mind, comprised of two parts, determines the quality of our life: The conscious mind, which has wishes, desires, and creativity; the subconscious mind, which is equivalent to a record and playback device with programming from instincts and learned experiences. The subconscious is almost completely made up of our beliefs that were formed when we were less than 7 years old.
He described the honeymoon phase of a relationship and what happens eventually. It was quite an eye opener for me and I bet it would be for a lot of people. It made so much sense.
When we fall in love with someone or something, it's the only time we keep our conscious mind in the present moment. If we can just pay attention, bring conscious mind into the moment and focus on what is right and possible right NOW, this is the field of love. When you focus on the field of love in the moment, EVERYTHING becomes heaven on earth. We all know that feeling. We can’t keep our hands off each other; we are creating more and more beautiful moments together. It just gets better and better. We are in total bliss. What happens?
When we get busy, return to our jobs and life’s stresses - we let our subconscious slip in. We take our eye off the ball. Instead of staying in the moment and speaking to each other from that field of love, we react to a question or comment from our beloved with an answer that comes from a recording made by a 7 year old – our subconscious. If our parents had been critical or made us feel unworthy, we recorded that as a child. When we are not being in the NOW, we can interpret our beloved’s comment incorrectly. We may respond just the way our parents did or the way we did as a child. Our partner wonders where the heck did that reaction come from and the conflict begins.
The minute that we lose consciousness and the Now, we lose the honeymoon. We lose both people being fully present and aware. Our field of love becomes barren and a waste land. The only way to keep this from happening is to change the subconscious recording through repetition. We must fall in love with ourselves and practice staying in the moment.
Twenty Twenty hindsight is so clear. All we can do is learn, grow and try again.
