暗示 suggestion

有很多文章都说到“暗示”（suggestion）的本质和重要性。近期来流行的说法之一是，你随时随地都受到暗示的支配。其实，你自己有意识的信念就是你所接到的最最重要的“暗示”。也就是说，你接受或拒绝所有其他的概念，是看你相信它们是否是真的，而那是根据一天大部份时间在你心中不断进行的自说自话——你自己给自己的暗示——来决定的。

一个外来的暗示之能否为你所接受，端视其是否能吻合两个条件而定。首先要看这个暗示与你心中对实相的本质所抱持的一般性看法是否有冲突，其次则要看这个暗示与你对你自己这个人所抱有的特别想法是否相契合。

那麽，如果你正确地运用自己的意识心，你就要检验临到自己头上来的那些五光十色的信念。总而言之，你不再会无可奈何地照单全收。如果你能善用你的意识心，你还可以觉知从自己内在所传送出来的直觉性的概念。但若是你不去审查从外界传来的各种资料，或你根本忽略从内向外传出的各种讯息，那麽再怎麽说你也只能算是一个处于半清醒状态的人而已。

Much has been written about the nature and importance of suggestion. One of the current ideas in vogue holds that you are constandy at the mercy of suggestion. Your own conscious beliefs are the most important suggestions that you receive. All other ideas are rejected or accepted according to wrhether or not you believe they are true, in line with the steady conscious chattering that goes on within your mind most of the day — the suggestions given to you by yourself.

You will accept a suggestion given by another only if it fits in with v our own ideas about the nature of reality in general, and your concepts about yourself in particular.

If you use your conscious mind properly, then, you examine those beliefs that come to you. You do not accept them willy-nilly. If you use your conscious mind properly, you are also aware of intuitive ideas that come to you from within. You are only half conscious when you do not examine the information that comes to you from without, and when you ignore the data that comes to you from within.

有一位同事曾和我分享，她试过在有类似催眠的方式去调整 她孩子的行为。

她每晚在孩子临睡前，在他们的耳边讲一些她想孩子有的行为。做了大概一星期，她看到孩子行为的改变。

但，她却担心她的这个行为有没有错。

这篇po给她看的。
