(In this text, with ‘expectations’ is meant the kind that involves one also in-depth.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expectation + (self-)deception = placebo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deception should never be used if anyhow avoidable. If there is an alternative, one should choose this. Possible exceptions are extraordinary circumstances in which it is difficult to avoid deception \u2015 for instance, battlefield or end-of-life situations. Humaneness is a top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from this, placebo must go<\/a>. It is not compatible with any of the five Aurelian ethical values<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No law of attraction (= you simply get what you consciously expect)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This might even have the reverse effect. Suppose you (from your ego) try to enforce yourself-as-total-person into something that doesn\u2019t agree with you (total person). In that case, the latter may object, obstruct, or even counter your (ego\u2019s) intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of this, I see no decent law of attraction, but there is a \u2018law of friendly invitation.\u2019 That may seem less active. It may indeed be less straightforward but undoubtedly more effective in the right setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a balance between ease and profound effectiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What appears straightforward may hide several levels of relevant complexity. Coercing oneself into a superficial-level intent may have unfortunate consequences in a broader sense. An organism needs proper support, not just some pushing or pulling. The pushing or pulling may provoke tears in the organic fabric \u2015 which may lead to short- or long-term mishaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, it may heighten inner dissociation<\/a>, carrying many chronic consequences on the health of mind and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Altogether, seeing your \u2018deeper self<\/a>\u2019 as an enemy to fight against is not a good idea. It may let you win an illusory game to the detriment of who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Predictive brain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Expectations are actually pre-conceptions formed by our \u2018predictive brain<\/a>.\u2019 Theoretically, they are all errors, but they are also the usual way of human thinking. We cannot think without expectations\/preconceptions. Therefore, there is no fault intrinsically involved, and certainly no guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our brains are instruments of prediction from start to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aurelian expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you know this, you can make the best use of the situation. The worst preconception is to ignore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In AURELIS setting, a crucial aim is to guide (not manipulate<\/a>) your expectations for good purposes in ethical ways, and deeply congruent with your \u2018true self\u2019 \u2015 for instance, through the use of AurelisOnLine sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AURELIS-autosuggestion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This starts from who\/what you are: a complex organism, not a mechanism<\/a>. The aim should be to support yourself organically, respecting your profound complexity as such<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That demands a striving for truth, taking into consideration that \u201conly truth can truly cure<\/a>.\u201d AURELIS autosuggestion may be seen as truthful expectation. Its \u2018power\u2019 is the power of expectation \u2015 oriented to the purpose of mental growth<\/a>. This ethical stance is also crucial within the auto-suggestive action to make it worthwhile and<\/em> effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Time and again, \u2018AURELIS invitation\u2019 carries the profound expectation (the \u2018belief in yourself\u2019) that you can and will evolve toward a more Compassionate you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is also the more truthful and original you.<\/p>\n
