However, positive thinking\/affirmations are frequently used as if they work mechanically-repetitive, as if the non-conscious can simply be re-programmed or parts of it replaced, as if there is no complexity in subconceptual processing. As such, of course, they don\u2019t reach any depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since any real change is a growth process from the inside, such doings can hardly be effective, especially in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The AURELIS stance is entirely from the inside out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is very different from skimming the outside \u2014 another universe almost and stemming from an altogether other look upon the human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sense, there cannot be a more crucial distinction, even though in most talking and writing about positive thinking, this distinction is deemed unimportant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compassion-related<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depth is an indispensable component of anything Compassion-related. Therefore, autosuggestion &#8211; in contrast to mechanical affirmations &#8211; is an excellent tool to invite <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=6819\"><strong>Compassion, basically<\/strong><\/a> to flourish in any person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, it has a dynamic internal safety valve. If the person isn\u2019t ready for some message, this will spontaneously not lead to change. If the person is ready, then it will lead to the kind of change that accords with his momentary state of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is the most profound meaning of \u2018auto\u2019: the one of completeness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not horizontal but vertical; it is not surface-level but the total person (depth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not me-first, but Me-first, overlapping with other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not egoism or <a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=5107\">altruism<\/a> (losing oneself) but Compassion, which is valuing everyone, including oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At the gates of the subconceptual<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AURELIS-autosuggestion precisely transcends traditional affirmations by fostering profound personal growth and emotional healing. It leverages the brain\u2019s plasticity, tapping into subconceptual processes that facilitate profound, lasting changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent neuroscientific research supports the efficacy of autosuggestion, illustrating how deep, non-conscious\/subconceptual processes are reshaped during autosuggestion practices.
