In the reconditioning page I talk about the concept that certain thought forms are more deeply ingrained in our human genetics than others. Some have been reinforced for tens of thousands of years and others are relatively new. About a year ago I took over the term Meme for it (see Thought Form Rating Scale). I had to think hard to remember the word, so I guess I have developed a preference for terms like thought form habits.
Anyway, I reasoned that it would seem likely that it would cost more habit-breaking energy to alter thought habits that are very popular and ancient. I compared these thought forms to eight-lane highways. In the course of your ascension process you would develop the ability to run a higher level of energy, which would enable you to tackle bigger and broader thought habits. I even logically suggested that it would probably be wise not to invest too much energy in these ancient, well-fed thought habits when you're in the beginning of the ascension process. It could easily lead to a lot of frustration or a transport of these thought-forms to the unconscious where they are likely to expand, waiting to explode some time later.
In Andrew's letter a connection was made with the level of struggle. He wrote:
What I am trying to convey is that the level of struggle depends on how you view the items that you meet. It is harder to break the thought-habit that says: "You need to have a partner to have a successful life" than "It is important to read newspapers". In the page on the Thought Form Rating Scale I introduce the idea of a continuum between very harmful thoughts on one side of the scale to very harmless thoughts on the other side. Perhaps it would be useful to also consider the level of popularity when paying attention to certain thought forms.
KARMA REPHRASE
Some people cling to the term karma, and if you are one of them you could translate this idea as follows: some karma is buried deeper and is harder to release than other kinds of karma that can relatively easily be transformed. If you would intend to release karma of the difficult, deeply ingrained kind, when you are in the early stages of the ascension process you are most likely to fail. You are then either likely to get frustrated, or you would fool yourself into having released it, when in fact you have only parked it in your unconscious, or perhaps at someone else's doorstep.
TESTING CREATIONAL LIMITS
Andrew continued and said:
At the present stage I would try to test new thought forms with its level of perceived harmlessness. When I try to transform thought forms I would prefer to transform thought forms that are limiting my growth in awareness, that I deem harmful to a certain extend. I would like to introduce less harmful new thought forms to feed my cells.
So far for now, please think along,
