Dealing With Childhood Imprints
This follows my previous post about my own experience in forming conclusions at the subconscious level as a child.
Children respond to comments by their parents, school teachers, guardian or any authority figure in different ways. A parent may chide a child “you are so stupid” when the child is slow at grasping some school work. The intent may be to motivate him to work harder. A confident child may well respond in the required manner and spur on to do better. However, in many cases, a child who is insecure may internalise and accept it as a true statement, although he may actually be intelligent. This childhood imprint can have negative effects in viewing the self as incapable, unworthy and doomed to meet with failure.
Childhood imprints have to be dealt with, in order for the law of attraction to work. The problem is that we would not know what childhood imprints we have. We reap its negative consequences however. We are insecure, unloving, angry, indecisive, etc etc. The negative traits can well be traced back to some childhood imprint; which until today, we may not have realized that we had made a certain conclusion at the back of our minds way back when we were say 3 years old.
Additionally, because of my personal experience, having lived with some of my most bizarre childhood imprints for more than 30 years and dealing with them now, I become more aware of what I say to my own children. I certainly would not want them to form conclusions that are hardly true due to some careless remark that I make. I wouldn’t want to repeat some of the same mistakes my parents have made in my formative years. Understanding more about childhood imprints means that I can be a more responsible parent in the emotional development of my children. Since I am not perfect and may occasionally say the wrong thing without thinking, I know that at the very least, I have the tools to help my children reverse their negative thinking. Hopefully, the law of attraction will work well for them much earlier in their lives.
