The Limbic System
Untitled DocumentThe Limbic System – Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve At the same time information is being stored and recorded in the Neo-Cortex, the feelings attached to that information is also being processed and stored in The Limbic System. The Limbic System is made up of the Amygdala, The Hypothalamus, The Hippocampus, and the Pituitary Gland. All these together make up the Central Nervous System which triggers the full range of emotions from terror to joy, depending on the of information being received. Up until we are eight years old - before our FOL develops - we are really just emotional beings, without any real capacity to tell fact from fiction. Hence we will believe anything you tell us. That’s why we believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, monsters under the bed, etc. We will also believe you if you tell us that 'we are stupid, ugly, unwanted and worthless. In fact people don’t even have to tell us this, just by the tone of their voice and the look in their eyes and on their faces, we can ‘sense’ what they think of us, because as young children our emotions and senses are the only way we can filter our thoughts. It is these illogical feelings, and immature thoughts that create negative beliefs. Throughout our lives we are positively or negatively affected by the actions, words and beliefs shown to us by others. If we have caring, warm, loving and tactile parents who tell us that we are good,because of our inherent survival instinct to get what we need, we will pursue that course and get more praise for it - even if we don't really want to do it. If all we see, hear, feel, smell, touch is perceived as real before we reach eight, and is recorded and retained in our brain, then it is fairly easy to assume that we have heard a lot of both negative and positive information, about ourselves, about other people and about the world around us. A lot of this information is stored as negative beliefs. Every negative belief stored in our subconscious memory sets the stage for our minds to continually 'imagine/fear/assume the worst', and predict a future that resounds with“This is all there is" and “Nothing will ever change for me”. Depending upon whether we experience these thoughts and feelings positively or negatively, they become the blueprint for our life. These thoughts and feelings are lodged in our subconscious brain as positive and negative ‘beliefs’ and most of us go through life oblivious of the absolute power they have over us. If the subconscious mind is then, as Freud so eloquently stated, is simply;'An emotionless database of stored programmes whose function is strictly concerned with reading environmental signals and engaging in hard-wired behavioral programmes, no questions asked, no judgments made',this then gives us a real sense of hope that we will be able to change our future if we have the right tools to eliminate the negative beliefs from our past. The The Beyond Belief Negative Belief Removal Process gives you the tools to eliminate negative beliefs so that you will come to know your own truth, and with new found optimism, reinvent your future.
