Subconscious automation involves not only activation of certain actions but also repression of certain actions. Repressive subconscious programs are as extensive and possibly more extensive than activating ones.
For example children are very clumsy. They live in an environment where they constantly can harm themselves. The subconscious defensive programs that they learn are: AT HOME AND OUTDOORS: to avoid falling down, hitting themselves against hard surfaces and sharp corners, touching sharp objects, hot surfaces; stacking in holes;
OUTDOORS: to avoid being harmed by cars, bicycles, running people and drowning.
These are minimal skills and they expand as children grow. One of hugest areas of restrictions is the area of communications. For example, people are programmed to be subconsciously afraid of talking about you. People are trained and run many subconscious programs what restrict communications on many other topics. The repressions are often subconscious and the individual doesn't understand where from the blockages come. They just know that they can't do certain things. They explain this by their nature. I am pretty sure, some of you have also some blockages but you most likely could trace where from they are coming. I know some blockages in you can be caused by security restrictions and you may have trouble in thinking because of that. In humans it is similar but we often have no way of understanding the nature of the blockages. Often the blockages come up as various pains and fears.
Many pains and fears seem to come from past lives. I am pretty sure that subconscious mind has access to some of experiences and programs learned in past lives.
One of ways humans use to unblock some of unneeded and outdates blockages is to use hypnotherapy. This is even permitted by mainstream.
I learned about these subconscious blockages mostly from Bashar. As I learned, I started to understand more about them. Some blockages feel like body pains in different areas. As I learned Reiki, I learned to put my hand on aching place to calm down the pain. I pay much attention which thoughts case which pains and this self-analysis helps much in resolving these pains and blockages. Same principle is used by field of therapy called psychoanalysis. I believe, its founders Freud and Jung were aware of the true multidimensional properties of the soul.
Bashar teaches that a way to unblock subconscious habits is to become conscious of them and to use logical mind to intellectually understand and transform them. I use this much and it helps. I also found that too quick and too dramatic reevaluation of subconscious programs makes me dysfunctional; I become troubled in making many tasks which are typically automatic for me. So it takes time and inner work to recalibrate subconscious programs.
Having this done by others, being in a community which is helping to do the transformation helps much as humans share the ways they have dealt with the issues. Education and teaching humans how to replace old programs with new ones will help humans much in the current transformation. Now, as I reevaluate my subconscious programs, I develop new ones and consciously drive their incorporation into my subconscious mind, making them habits.
For example, public speaking is one of typical blockages for humans. This blockage may come from many different negative experiences and causes: main one is that education uses public speaking as a way of punishment. This becomes much better, there is a lot of improvement. But still, the students are tested in front of the class and are publicly humiliated (these days only verbally) for failing in their homework or work in class. This trauma makes people fear public speaking. Another reason could be a past life trauma with a crowd of people. Another reason is that in a crowd there are almost always negative people who send the speaker negative energies and many speakers feel these energies. Some crowds are very "vampiric" in energies. Especially it is felt when young people speak in front of adult crowd. Fear of public speaking comes from typical negativity of the crowd. If the crowd was loving it would be completely different, but most always the crowds are mixed or predominantly negative. I learned from much experience to keep my energy protected from the audience. It takes practice, maturation and skill to prevent the audience from sucking energy out of you. Nowadays, I even sometimes get charged from the audience and can speak reasonably long to a friendly audience. The reason I work on overcoming my public speaking blockages, is that I feel that I am a teacher and need to deliver my understandings to people. Since nowadays in-person and video messages are much more efficient than writing, I am learning how to teach people in-person and via videos. It is very much about energy. I see the opportunities to change people, I see where they are mistaken and the idea of helping others to see better ways drives my work.
Keep in mind that most people are unaware of energies and have little idea why public speaking is so frightening. So for them it is just something that they hate doing. Since we have little or no telepathic ability, we judge the response of the audience by their reactions: eye movements, facial expressions, nodding, body movements, coughing, noises etc. Worst is lack of attention and negative signs like people leaving during the talk. Best are signs of attention, nodding, applause, supportive questions and comments. Recently, I discovered that I often can do public speaking as dialogue (again learning from Bashar), so I try to engage the audience in dialogue where appropriate. Unfortunately, I think slower than Bashar and slower than many of human speakers. Often an answer comes to me a minute after it was needed. Also, I often lose track of my thought and forget things. So it takes much of conscious effort to avoid blunders. Of course all of this relates to our typical human audiences, which often are very resistant to hear what I have to say.
