Things to dissolve

Many people have asked questions concerning the subject dealt with in the last chapter, which is why I’m going into it in more detail here.

Due to our past – that is, due to our upbringing, our school, or even previous incarnations – we all carry certain patterns, conditioning and programs within us. Among these programs are some that are useful, helpful and up to date, while others are outdated and cause blockages. If we want to continue our inner development, we must begin to dissolve these outdated programs, beliefs, ideas, convictions, fears, destructive emotions and so on. Some of these patterns may be buried deep in the layers of our subconscious. If you’re wondering how you can access this subconscious, imagine, for example, eating a cake layer by layer. First you eat the top layer, then the next layer, and so on. With each layer that disappears, new things move from your subconscious to your day consciousness.

When we talk about dissolving subtle patterns, programs and beliefs, some people think they have to dissolve all of them. But firstly, that won’t work, and secondly, we don’t need to do it at all. Patterns of thought or action are not in themselves something that inevitably block us. There are also useful beliefs and convictions that we still need and can keep with us. For example, we all imagine and are confident that the ceiling’s not going to fall on our heads or the floor disappear from under our feet. This trust, this pattern of thinking, doesn’t need to be dissolved. It’s therefore enough to dissolve those things that are obsolete and no longer relevant and to also dissolve those things that are no longer helpful and are blocking us.

It’s important that we don’t try to dissolve things because we want to repress them or don’t want to acknowledge them, but that we do so because we’ve actually finished with them internally – because we’ve dealt with them in the course of our development and can now let them go. Trying to repress traumatic experiences causes them to be encapsulated on the energy level and then buried somewhere in the subconscious. This happens when a person doesn’t have the opportunity, in the moment of experiencing an event, to process the experience and therefore packs it away for the time being. The experience that has been repressed is then still there but isolated from that person’s day consciousness. This capsule only opens again when the soul concerned feels that the person’s system on the human level is now capable of constructively processing the experience. Repression is therefore not a solution, because things that have been repressed and locked away are still there, trying to push their way into our consciousness. It’s better to first of all accept and then consciously dissolve burdensome emotions, because then they really do go away.

As I see it, there are two different ways to dissolve patterns. One way is to simply become aware of the fact that we’re carrying a certain pattern around with us that has become obsolete and that we no longer need. Thanks to the new energy now present on the Earth, just becoming aware of it can cause the pattern to simply dissolve, from one second to the next. The other way is that the soul decides it still has something to learn by going through the process of dissolution and then goes through this process step by step by realising that a certain pattern is present; finding out where this pattern came from; accepting the pattern without condemnation; then lovingly letting go of the pattern and dissolving it. In both cases, the pattern is ultimately dissolved through help from above, from the Source.

There is also a third possibility. In this case, an obsolete pattern or program is not dissolved, but overwritten with another program. Basically, this is happening all the time: A belief that is no longer relevant is replaced by a new one because we’ve gained fresh knowledge and insights. We decide – consciously or subconsciously – to give preference to another offer.

On the energy level, we send out everything we think, feel, say and do. For example, if we think something specific, we open a gateway for the corresponding external events which can then dock on to us energetically. Every belief we carry within us – whether conscious or subconscious – is a gateway for whatever is contained within that belief. That’s why it’s important to either delete, transform or overwrite outdated, obsolete patterns of thought, belief and feeling.

Unless we dissolve these things, they become increasingly burdensome for us, causing us to become energetically heavier and heavier. It’s like swimming with your clothes on: your clothes suck up more and more water and become heavier and heavier. In the same way, all the things that actually need to be dissolved cover up our true being to an ever greater extent, pull us down in terms of energy and block our spiritual development. Conversely, releasing these burdens is like discarding more and more weight from a hot-air balloon so that it can rise higher and higher.

When dissolving patterns, the following is also important: Each of our patterns of thinking or feeling is associated with corresponding actions. Successfully dissolving a pattern means that it’s been removed from the subtle body and replaced by an updated pattern, but now the challenge is to change our actions as well. Human beings are known to be creatures of habit, and someone who has lived according to a certain pattern for perhaps twenty years needs some time to get used to the new way of thinking and feeling. To begin with, they’ll have to consciously remember again and again to act according to this new energy.
