“If you have black or white thinking going on, you can be sure there is a subconscious program running!”
“In reality there are always more options available to you than just black or white.”
Chris Scott
These statements had a profound impact on me this morning. Instantly I saw an image in my mind of an ultrasound machine with a grayscale image on the screen of a person's abdomen. I could see myself there with all the buttons and k***s quickly adjusting the image to make it crisp and clear.
Now, if you don’t know me, that may seem like a weird image to “see” in my mind's eye. However, in my former career I was an medical ultrasound technologist for almost 3 decades so I am very familiar with that type of imaging.
Let me tell you a little about it so this metaphor makes more sense. If you kept the ultrasound image very black and white with no grayscale you would really not be able to see anything. It is the variations of gray in contrast to the black and white that show up in the image to be an organ or baby or mass etc. If you as the technologist were to insist that your settings on the machine were “correct” and that no adjustments be made you would have very limited, non-diagnostic images that could have harmful results for the patient. Many times in my career I experienced seeing something on the screen that seemed “normal” but as I adjusted the image something causing a problem appeared. In another instance, I would not be able to see the entirety of a fetus until I shifted the viewpoint from where I was looking.
This can be the same way in our thinking which comes from our subconscious programming normally formed as children. Like in the instance of the ultrasound image, you can feel like you are stuck in blackness, despair or depression because you are not aware of a whole other way to look at something. You don’t know you can adjust your programing and the images you live from. Remember it is subconscious not conscious.
So what is it that you want to be different in your life?
Where do you feel stuck?
Where are you only able to see in black or white?
I am here to help you adjust your subconscious programs from black and white thinking (not helpful or even harmful) to grayscale (crisp clear images). You can quickly see where you have been looking at your life through a limiting lens and shift to having a clear, expansive, growth oriented way of Being!
You do not have to keep living the same unfulfilling life!
You can live from a place of JOY!
