Freedom of our own manifestations is formed long before we see the physical world, the world in which we will have to live and create everything that is inherent in our destiny. Any deviations from the path entail certain consequences. And they don't necessarily have to be bad. We must understand that we have a certain project with which we are born. This is the main path we will have to take. But we always have a choice to do or not to do.

A person is born with certain programs that were laid down from the moment of conception. We are a manifestation of the light of creation. And therefore, we have that potential that is eternal. It is our potential and it is called our higher self. And life itself in three-dimensional space is so that we can match our potential and make choices that help our soul develop in its own evolutionary processes, helping to form a space around us filled with light. There are many factors that prevent us from making the right choice and living up to our potential. And these factors are formed from the moment of conception.

Dear Friends! Today, we will talk about how the denial of life occurs. How we fall short of our potential. And how our choice is more prone to constant subconscious defenses that lead to diseases, failures and excess weight.

Our highest potential is the primary element of the Divine monad. He is always with us, in the most serious situations, but often we do not hear him, because our mind is engulfed in a temporary illusion, which is expressed in our behavior. Our highest potential is light in manifestation, always ready to come to our defense.

The highest potential is our Teacher, who knows everything about us and about God. Therefore, we, as a manifestation of God on earth, are born to create, and in this we are helped by the innate will, which moves our process into the thick of events that was formed by us in past lives.

Everything would be wonderful if it were not for the fact that subconsciously helps us shape what is born and grows next to our potential. It always interferes in our process when we show our weakness. This subconscious guide is our Ego.

Well, now, let’s use an example to analyze those processes that will clearly help you realize what in many cases is unconscious in us.

Our manifestations are determined by three perinatal birth matrices. The first stage is from conception to nine months of development. The second stage is from the beginning of labor and contractions. And the third, perinatal matrix, is pushing, movement along the birth canal and birth itself.

These three main periods form programs that, after birth, are included in the process of self-development. After all, in essence, we are the highest potential that I spoke about. And the meaning of our life is that through the process of self-knowledge, we realize our highest potential.
But what happens, why in many cases we fail to do this?

The first perinatal matrix carries the beginning of our journey.

Our choice begins with our conception, because it was our soul that chose this particular family, which, by all indicators, will be able to give us everything that is inherent in our potential. After conception, the formation of the physical body occurs in the womb. But this process can be stopped through termination of pregnancy. Or, parents, for a long period of time, cannot decide whether to have an abortion or not. I can tell you that all abortions are programs of fear of death. Imagine how a small, unformed fetus is torn apart under the influence of a vacuum. These programs of fear and horror are acquired by the unborn child, and by those children who will be born in the future in this family. And if, nevertheless, the parents leave the child, then these programs are formed further. They can lead to various pathologies: entanglement of the umbilical cord, premature birth, postmaturity, pelvic birth. The first perinatal matrix forms the child’s attitude towards the world. And if this world in the womb looks threatening, then the child will subconsciously shut down or defend himself. For example, Caesarean children are born without a will. Do you know why? Because they did not go through the three stages of personality formation in the womb. They were in the first PMR in the womb for 9 months. And in such a half-asleep state, they are born without carrying out the struggle that is contained in the last 2 birth matrices. They contain the struggle for life, and in it the will is born. In many cases, the birth of cesarean babies depends on the schedule of the hospital and doctors. The child is born under the influence of anesthesia. But what is the main thing in this process?

Caesarean babies are born without a struggle. Their birth was conditioned by pleasure, where they spent 9 months in a loving Universe. When a child is born, he forms 6 stages of the mind, which he goes through in accordance with space and time, where the family and the entire society work to raise a worthy person.

This is how it happens in life. As a rule, children born by Caesarean subconsciously know that others decide everything for them. And starting from childhood, they fight, subconsciously proving and demonstrating their will, in this way. In this case, parents and society, represented by public organizations, begin to instill their own stereotype of behavior. And taking advantage of their social position, they ridicule and punish children. The question is different. In this case, you need to understand how the child came into this world and then create appropriate conditions for his upbringing. In the case when a child receives punishment for his attempts to show will and independence, he begins to close himself off, and girls begin to form resentments. And, day after day, the child subconsciously tries to distinguish himself and express himself in the way he knows how, but society does not like this, and every day the child withdraws into himself in misunderstanding. The child has a choice that can be revealed through the highest potential if his parents correctly understood this process and worked to develop the child's self-esteem. If this understanding is not there, then the child is closed and hides a lot. He does this so as not to have to listen to the sermon of his parents, educators and teachers once again. Indeed, in this case, parents also manifest subconscious programs with which they go through life. By their reluctance and lack of understanding of their children, they subconsciously want to extol themselves in their parental role, which they failed to do during their lifetime. The child lives, partially closing himself off from misunderstanding, but where he sees his superiority, he does everything to prove his self. Often such children are “chameleons”; at school they are alone, but in the family they are different. And in many cases, what we attribute to Indigo children may look like broken destinies, which were misunderstood at an early age, and who ended up in colonies and prisons. Therefore, it is not the child who is to blame, but the system, parents and society, who did not try to understand the children. What happens next? The child lives and is brought up in these situations, developing resentment and shyness, which of course unconsciously forms deviations at the level of the hypothalamus. And then it affects the hypofunctions of the thyroid gland, pancreas and ovaries. Which subsequently affects diseases and excess weight. All this has a reason for lack of fulfillment, isolation and resentment. Caesarean children are most prone to depression, which on a physical level leads to overeating, and the hypothalamus is responsible for the feeling of fullness and hunger. Therefore, such children feel dissatisfaction and lack of fulfillment in life. And they resort to eating, trying to subconsciously satisfy themselves.

In children who have found another form of expression of their self, in anger, irritation and aggression, hyperfunctions are formed in the endocrine system, which may reflect insufficient weight.

Dear friends! Each person is an individual expressed by his own experiences. Therefore, I am describing a certain standard process that exists in life.

Since the hormonal balance is already disrupted, this affects the internal secretion organs. Thus, this snowball of emotional heaps rolls through life, acquiring more and more new forms of denial.

We always have a choice to do or not to do. But this choice depends on the factors that are laid down at conception. And if we cannot express our highest potential through joy, kindness, love, self-realization, then we make a choice in favor of our Ego, thereby expressing through our lower self, fear, resentment, aggression, anger, low self-esteem and other negative forms behavior. Believe me, after a person has made a choice through negative forms of behavior, it will be very difficult for him to free himself from them during his lifetime, because these living three-dimensional forms of behavior are self-organizing thought forms that control our consciousness. And in order to cleanse yourself of them, you need to realize this, connect your will and go through life affirming yourself.

Therefore, all diseases and our problems are a consequence of those programs that were laid down from the moment of conception.

We can talk about this for a long time and there is a lot of information. We must remember that we were born to win!

How to react to what is happening?

Most of our reactions occur automatically.

But if we live more consciously, it turns out that we ourselves can choose our reaction to what is happening. And this realization is tantamount to finding freedom after a long imprisonment.

No matter what happens, we always have a choice

It is our right to choose our reaction. If we act unconsciously, mechanically, then we deprive ourselves of this right. That's why we get offended and experience others.

But this makes no sense! The same resentment destroys a person from the inside. If you don’t consciously take offense, but simply draw conclusions, then you will not only preserve your nerve cells and peace of mind, but also feel like you are in control of the situation.

Many people deliberately provoke us into negativity, troll and bully us. And for them, your negative reaction is a real victory. So why please these energy vampires? They didn't deserve it. Your calmness and composure will discourage them and make them unable to continue.

Of course, we don't always have to fight trolls. In the lives of each of us there are difficult life circumstances that do not depend on other people. But in essence, this does not change anything! We are again faced with a situation that requires our immediate response. And only you decide how to react to it.

Friends, many situations cannot be changed, but you can change your attitude towards these situations.

If the problem is solvable, then there is no need to worry. And if the problem does not have a solution, then there is no point in worrying about it.

Whatever happens, we have a choice. There is always a choice, everywhere. Our whole life consists of irritants (by irritants we mean everything that causes our reaction). So, you can react like the simplest single-celled creature: if there is an irritant, then there will be a standard reaction to it. But we are somewhat smarter than single-celled creatures. Therefore, we can choose the reaction that we consider useful and justified. By changing our attitude to what is happening, we take control of our lives into our own hands! And this, dear friends, changes a lot.
