Has any of you tried the technique Conceptual Thinking introduced by Dale Power? I am pracitising it but I am not very sure if I am doing it correctly.

Here is the article by Dale Power:

Conceptual Thinking:
Understanding the Subconscious

The subconscious mind doesn't think in words and seldom thinks in pictures. Instead it uses concepts, raw ideas, to rapidly process huge amounts of data about you, your world and what is needed for survival.

The conscious mind normally uses words and pictures to process information and make plans.

Since there is a language gap between these two parts of what should be a single unit, problems ensue. In fact most problems that people have in life can be linked directly back to this divide in information. Either because the mind is working against itself with the two parts both trying to make what it believes is a good decision or because needed information is not shared clearly between the two parts.

Take dieting for instance. You consciously have a list of good reasons to lose weight. Thin people have less heart disease, you want to look good in your new outfit and so on. The subconscious mind though perceives a mixed bag of signals that may or may not relate to dieting. A desire to be healthy for instance, or to look good and impress others. Why? Because it clearly picks up only the conceptual portion of your thoughts. It also has cataloged millions of instances of you liking cake (Or whatever you personally like). Nothing you shared with the subconscious mind says this is different now, so it guides you towards doing what it thinks you need to survive. Cake, for all it's dietary “sin” is a source of high calorie food that sets off good feelings and associations in most people. So your subconscious self views it as a good thing.

What it amounts to is that the subconscious mind cannot hear the conscious mind much better than the conscious self hears the deeper levels of self. This lack of communication can be resolved however, by learning to think consciously on the same level as the subconscious mind.

The greater the amount of time and effort you spend doing this, the greater the level of integration will become. You will be better able to understand your own true motivations, change habits without effort and perceive things normally hidden to the conscious part of your being.

Plans work better when the mind is operating as a single unit and “powers” that were hidden from you will become far, far clearer.

Learning to do this takes practice, but a little effort now will have huge payoffs for you down the road.

Conceptual Thinking:

These instructions are simple, but doing this well takes time and practice. Even when you think you have it down, I recommend regular (daily) practice and use to keep yourself sharp and don't be too disappointed if you find later that you have a bit more to do to get it right. This is all part of the learning process for this method.

Start by finding a simple object. Look at it and close your eyes after a moment of getting a feel for it.

With your eyes closed (or open when you are getting more advanced at doing this) think about the object, but, don't say the name of it or describe it with words in your head and let go of any pictures that are (will!) be generated if they try to pop into your head.

Try to make it simply the idea of the object.

When you have this as well as you are able, try to hold the concept steady in your mind.

This will firm up your ability to communicate to your subconscious self while at the same time help you learn to notice when you are slipping into your old though patterns.

You really can't practice this too much!

Now, after doing this for ten minutes or so (feel free to switch objects
frequently, to try to hold ideas about abstract things or to think conceptually about what you perceive around you! This isn't meditation exactly and the more you interact with your world the better you will be able to share complex information with your subconscious mind.) try to empty your mind and look around you. If a picture pops into your head, let it go, and really focus on the concepts and ideas in your head.

As they bubble up to the surface of your mind you should be able to perceive that you are thinking them. This is part of your subconscious mind thinking while you observe it! (Seriously, how cool is that? Most people are never consciously aware of what they are doing on this level at all.)

Try to track the information, the ideas and remember them for later
consideration.

Advanced Level:

It is very hard to think of some things as true concepts. Letters and Numbers are some of the hardest! (Reading is a conscious process by and large. The processing done by the subconscious mind is mainly due to the conceptual links you form when thinking about what you read.)

So, practice conceptualizing each letter of the Alphabet!

Then count from one to ten (or higher) doing the same thing.

Remember though, make ALL the pictures and sounds of the words go away! This gets tricky, because you may not notice at first that you almost always visualize letters and number OR say their name when thinking about them, even while trying not too!

Why Bother?

Most people cannot easily pick up letters and numbers well psychically, not because the information is not their, but because their subconscious mind, which originally gets all such information loses a bit of data when trying to pass it through to the conscious mind for translation. Rather a lot of of information actually.

By learning to think in such a fashion, information can be passed more easily and quickly.

Another great “side effect” of learning to do this is that you can “talk” to your subconscious mind directly, to help move past traumas or to understand dreams and what they mean.

The subconscious mind is involved in everything you do, say and desire. Sometimes, often, without you being consciously aware that this is even taking place. The more integrated you become the truer you can be to yourself and what you really want in life.

[PleiadianHealer]

The IPF (improve psychic functioning) pendant sold at the link helps to build a "conceptual bridge" in your mind, so that you can take advantage of conceptual thinking, in much more easy fashion.

So if you want to get good at this technique I would look into that pendant.

When you go to the link click on 'store' and then look for IPF pendant.

Pretty cool Wakaka. I read on something from Dale similar to your topic of conceptual thinking. Some pretty powerful stuff. Hers the article I read.

To understand why the Veil between worlds is thinning you first have to have an
idea about what exactly this veil is, how it functions and what impact this thinning
might have on day to day life.

First, the famous (and infamous) Veil Between Worlds, the separation between
the lands of the dead, the pits of hell and the Other realms and our own world is not
exactly a physical wall that keeps thing separated. It is a mental construct built into
(almost) all humans that keeps our subconscious awareness at a distance from
what we consciously believe. By keeping ourselves isolated from knowledge of the
other worlds, we have some small bit of protection from them built into ourselves.

A few hundred thousand years ago, some say as few as five thousand years
ago, our minds worked differently. The connections between our conscious and
subconscious minds were both stronger and more distant from each other at the
same time. We heard our higher selves not as a vague suggestion, as we often do
now) but as the literal “Voice of God” leading us to find reality as if something
outside of ourselves. We now accept this voice as our own inner self, and it's
purpose (though most don't understand it this way, science does...) is to tell us a
story about what reality is. This is the first and strongest of the Veils.


What this means is simply that the first Veil between worlds is the one in
our mind, all of our minds, that “makes up” the story of reality.

We do NOT live in reality, not consciously, but rather live in a personally
generated story, one that is most often very, very different from what is actually
going on around us!

This is, as was stated above, the first Veil.

The second Veil is Language.

We have all learned, most have at least, to think in words.

This is normal to us and indeed, it's a virtual “super power” in a world of animals
that don't do so! I can use words to communicate complex ideas at a distance (like
this article for instance) that no other animal on the planet can easily do!

But before we had words, we thought in concepts. Raw ideas. Our subconscious
minds still do. If you can relearn to do so now, you can reopen direct
communications with the subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind deals with reality directly, without the buffering of the
“Story Teller” our conscious perception of the world. Language keeps the distance
between these two solid.


The second Veil is language. The language of the mind. Right now this is
the most stable of the divisions.

The third Veil is our perception of time. We all “know” on some level two things
about time itself. The first is that we “feel” it passing and can measure it using clocks
and events outside ourselves.

The second is that we sometimes “feel” as if it goes faster, slower, jumps or
stands still.

We have a natural perception of time and a learned perception of time...

And it turns out that both are inherently flawed!

Time itself is different than we expect or accept. It is all at once, with everything
happening now. We can't deal with this, so we part it out, seeing things as
happening in a linear fashion. (Which, really, thank goodness! It can be hard
enough to get through a single day much less all of them at once!)


The third Veil is our perception of time. Not time itself, but how we see it
individually and as a group.

So of these three Veils, these artificial divisions, two of them are at great risk of
breaking down, allowing not just “glimpses” into other, unseen, worlds, but a fairly
rapid decent into them. This is the break down of the conscious Storyteller and the
perception of time. Language is safe for now, possibly as strong as it has ever been
in all of human history, unfortunately though, this may only add to the coming
problems as the other Veils weaken and eventually fall as will be discussed below.


Why are the Veils falling?

The conscious Storyteller (our day to day mind, which presents us with what we
believe to be reality!) and the subconscious mind have worked together well for a
long, long time, thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of years. The
subconscious mind sees reality unfiltered, sees the ghosts, the Goblins, the demons
and the minds of others, knows what is about to happen and what has happened,
and holds most of this in, calling out suggestions to the conscious mind at times, but
mainly keeping us from having to deal with every little strange thing that happens.

Here is an example you can use to test this effect in yourself:


Go to the first link, watch the video and participate as you are asked.

http://viscog.beckman.uiuc.edu/grafs/demos/15.html

When done, go directly to the second link:

http://free.mailinfo.com/web/reality/step2.htm

*Note, this is a real psychological experiment. This isn't a trick or visual illusion!


The experiment above shows us how well most people's internal Storyteller filters
reality for us. Image what else most people miss most of the time? (And don't
imagine that just because you are one of the people that saw the extra bit on the
video that everything else will be as clear to you! It doesn't work that way.)

This is how we all live, most of the time, protected consciously from reality, while
subconsciously being immersed in it.

But there is a loophole that modern man has begun to exploit more and more,
without understanding that we are doing so, which is slowly blurring the line between
the Storyteller and the “True perceiver” of reality.


Fiction.

More to the point, advanced visual fiction. When we see and hear immersive
experiences for a long enough time period (about 40 minutes for most people) our
subconscious mind begins to accept these images as being part of reality. We begin
to respond to what we are seeing as if it is really happening in front of us, on the
deeper levels of mind. Even though we consciously “Know” that this is not
happening, we subconsciously “KNOW” that it is.

Generally speaking, this is not that big of a deal. The subconscious mind is
designed to react to reality while the conscious mind filters it. The danger here is
not that we react and respond to fiction as if it is real, but that we are using vast
amounts of fiction to train our conscious minds to see strange and unusual things!

We are training our protective Storyteller to allow in strange bits of data that
historically would be ignored and perceived only by the subconscious parts of our
being. A small bit of this is probably harmless, of course, but we live in a world
where many people are spending hours at a time immersed in strange fictional
realities that require the conscious mind to be limber and float from one hard to
believe scenario to another!

Simply watching a television program does this. It doesn't take 3-d or virtual
reality to allow this to take place. Movies, video games, television and even vividly
imagined scenes can all have this “loophole” training effect.

The danger isn't just within each of us though. If that was the case, we could just
protect ourselves from unpleasant realities by individually reducing our exposure to
such stimulus, right? What happens though is that as more and more people
become aware of a strange thing in our midst, the more likely we all are to be able
to see it.

When enough people see what is really there, even the most hard headed
individual will see it too!

And at that point, the Veil will have fallen and we won't be able to put it back.

At the same time we are breaking down the the divisions carefully crafted by the
Storyteller, we are using the same media to skew our perceptions of time.

In fiction, time is a far more fluid thing. We see events both before and after they
have happened in the story. We often see things in slow motion, as if time itself has
slowed, or, more rarely, zooming by us at a faster than normal pace. We see people
one week, and the next time we see them, a week later, we are given information
that says it is a day later, or a year!

All of this causes us to lose track of our innate and trained sense of time, just a
little bit, wearing away at our natural pacing. It makes it a little easier to accept slips
and jumps in time, rather than ignoring them or pretending that they didn't happen
as we normally do.


And if the Veils break down, so what? How will this effect our regular lives?

These divisions, The Veils, keep us more or less inside the boundaries of
consensual reality. Without them we will all begin to see the world as it really is. All
the ghosts, the demons, the mythical creatures and elves around us will be able to
see us and interact with us as well.

Our ability to ignore such beings has, it seems, been our main protection from
them over the millennium. As this protection weakens, we will have to learn to deal
with such things directly again, and live in fear of them if we cannot do so well
enough.

As an example, let's look at driving.

You are driving along at night, when a hooded figure steps out in front of your
car, an old man it seems. Do you slam on the breaks, possibly causing the people
behind you to crash into you or each other, or do you keep driving, taking the
chance of hitting an elderly person that is simply in the wrong place at the wrong
time?

If it is a ghost, you would have simply passed through it. In fact, you do this all
the time without knowing it already! But seeing it clearly will alter your ability to
function in the world.

This is just one example.

Imagine for instance, trying to explain to your child that there is not monster in
the closet, opening the closet to show them, only to find a creature of vile darkness
sitting there waiting for you to leave?

There is also a chance that our focused attention will add to the power of many
of these beings. That when we cannot help but notice them, they will gain real,
physical level abilities within this realm. The ability to harm people, to move and
break objects, to build structures and so on.

This is not to say that everything will be horrible for all people all the time if the
Veils fall, but it will be very confusing at first, and probably change the nature of how
we function in the world greatly.


So, why is this being brought up now?

Because the Thinning is already beginning to happen. We are already seeing
more and more of the world around us. Not all people equally, but enough that
things once kept out of our world are making their way through.

It means that during this, and future Halloween seasons, we all need to become
aware that things that we learned to view as harmless jokes as children, the Goblins
and Ghouls and Vampires and Demons, may, in some fashion, be out walking the
world now.

It is time and past time to start taking things seriously and to learn to protect
yourself and those you love from things that go bump in the night. Because as the
Veils thin, you may find yourself suddenly having to face your worst nightmares one
day. Possibly one day soon. ---

I guess the divide Dale spoke of in the article you posted could also be recognized as a veil as well as language. What do you guys think? Ultimately I think your goal in pursuing conceptualized thinking is to break down the veils and see past the fake unreal reality we choose to see.

[wakaka]

It was enjoyable reading the article you posted. I think I understand the main ideas but I still find the part of time not easy to digest. I cannot relate it to /integrade it with my current belief system like events are manifested according to our vibration. So if time is an illusion, then it actually goes further than the multiuniverse system, where time still goes linearly, just that different realities exist; it would be more like an infinite number of pictures (I wanted to use "scenes", but it seemed there would still be the feeling of the flow of time), with all the possibilites (and impossibilies? lol) out there, and our conscious mind happens to be only able to "see" one at a time (argh I am using time again), so when our perceived reality changes/ perceived time flows, our conscious mind "sees" another picture. I think my guess is not at all close to what Dale meant given that I am still describing the "world" with heavy accent of "time". What do you think?

I didn't know conceptual thinking could lead to such a great implication. Dale's article gives me an idea that he believes that the failure of the Veil is inevitable, and it's not that desirable if it breaks down, during the very beginning at least. He also didn't mention there would be any benefits at all if we are all able to see the reality as it is.

My intention practising Conceptual Thinking was all about tapping into my inner callings and boosting my manifestation power. And if I am to prioritise, tapping into my inner callings definitely comes first.

[PleiadianHealer]

I hope you guys don't mind me posting the pendants that can help a person get more in touch with their subconscious minds, rather than just give my ideas on the concepts.

I found another pendant called the "super subconscious pendant", that's help's to brdige the gap so to speak, between the conscous and subconscious, and it also helps you increase your manifesting powers.

I do not own one of these pendants.... but it sure does look cool and also has a money back gurantee.
