The Videotape

As the image of the menacing Drone suggests the Videotape as I termed it in The Livingness is also intrusive to our psyche. The video is that collection of images, attitudes, conditioning, upbringing & any other type of brain bending that the world may have caused in us. Like the moods dialogue it is mostly a process affecting the bio-mind & of course works through the body. Feelings feel right and are wrong. We refer to negative feelings & not feelings like love and gratitude which are living feelings & not those stored in a videotape of the mind.

A client of mine was receiving imagery desensitization for a mouse phobia. At one point she became too anxious & I said “all is ok you are sitting in the consulting room with me and these are images in your mind & they can’t hurt you. When she came back to the room, she said: “That was interesting because when you said those reassuring remarks, it stopped the mice from becoming real”. She said: “it stopped THE MICE from become REAL” She didn’t say it stopped the images from being more realistic and she didn’t say that they became more lifelike, she said THE MICE- and from becoming REAL. So it was as if the videotape was not a video but was the REAL thing and the mind was treating this as if they were living mice! In fact there were two references to reality, there were THE mice and that they were stated as REAL! There were of course no real mice in the room!

I guarantee that is what we are dealing with! Beware the activated mind!
