Analyzing
Transactions in Our Soul
Once
we realize that our subconscious mind controls many of our thoughts, word and
actions in our present life, we can come to God for healing of the wounds
stored in that miraculous filing cabinet. The simplest and most efficient way
to uncover the stored memories in our subconscious is to pay attention to the
conversations in our mind.
We
are not going crazy. These are not usually demonic voices or multiple
schizophrenic personalities. These conversations are simply the interaction
among our Inner Parent, Adult and Child (PAC). As we analyze these transactions
or conversations, we soon see a pattern. We learn to identify the message,
which our three ego states are trying to communicate to us.
We
are usually so busy that we neglect our soul. Therefore, we need to make time
to listen to these transactions. Keeping a journal is the easiest way to
decipher what our subconscious mind is attempting to bring to our conscious
mind. Once we learn to identify these messages, journaling will no longer be
necessary, because we will readily recognize what our soul is telling us.
Start
by asking questions such as:
1.)
What is bothering me? The issue may be recent; however, sometimes we do not
know the source of the issue, because it lies in our subconscious mind and has
its roots in our past.
2.)
When did this start? Maybe this is a recent issue, or it could have started in
our infancy or youth. Looking at photo albums may give us clue to its origin,
or accessing memories from our subconscious mind that God’s Spirit brings to
our conscious mind.
3.)
Where did it start? At home, school, church, neighborhood. And with whom did it
start? Parent, relative, neighbor, teacher, friend or our friend’s parent.
4.)
Is the issue physical, emotional or psychological? Do we feel unwarranted shame
or fear because of something someone said or did to us in the past? Does our
negative self-talk come from things someone said to us and we believed? Did
Satan plant a lie in our past that we believe, and which is fueling our
negative health or feelings?
Our
Inner Child may be reticent about divulging this information to us, especially
if we neglected our soul all of our life. As we start to pay attention to our
negative thoughts and feelings from now on, our subconscious will cooperate
with God’s Spirit, as He brings these aspects to our conscious mind and heals
us of the residual affects they have on our life.
Prayer:
Father
God, there is nothing too difficult for You (Jeremiah 32:17, 27). You understand our
thoughts and know our life from beginning to end (Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 46:10). You do not want Satan
to use the words and actions from our past to cripple our present life. Give us
the courage to come to You for clarity about these issues and healing from these
wounds to our soul.
Thought
for the Day:
It
took a lifetime to program our subconscious mind to think, feel and react to
life, and it may take some time for it to respond to the healing of God’s
Spirit; have patience and give God your full attention during quiet spaces of
reflection during your week.
