Do Dreams come True...?

Your Subconscious can Predict the Future...

On June 25th 1947, Sugar Ray Robinson climbed in to the boxing ring with a 22 year old Jimmy Doyle...
 
In the 8th Round, Robinson shook Doyle with a devastating left hook that put him on the canvas and out for the count - the bell ringing at the count of 9 so Robinson won a TKO or "technical knock out"...

Unfortunately, Doyle he never recovered from his injuries and and died of a cerebral hemorrhage just 17 hours after the fight...

Tragic as this story is, there is a further twist that shows us the power of the subconscious.

Before the fight Sugar Ray Robinson had a dream that he killed Jimmy Doyle in the fight; in fact he woke up in a cold sweat and initially attempted to have the fight cancelled.

The Promoters, who stood to lose lots of money should the event be cancelled, even got a Priest to come along and reassure Sugar Ray that he should fight, he reluctantly agreed and stepped into the ring that warm Summer evening...

The dream tragically came true and Jimmy Doyle died exactly as Sugar Ray had seen in his dream - the premonition had become reality...

I turns out that Jimmy Doyle had an existing head injury from a previous fight and should not have been in the ring in the first place. Sugary Ray Robinson set up a Trust Fund for Jimmy's family that equated to $6000 - around $70,000 in today's money...

So what can we take from this...?

First, the bad news; my belief is that we do not have the ability to see into, and predict the Future. Otherwise the Lottery would be a foregone conclusion...

What the subconscious can do is simply take information that is the most important and affect our behaviour in a way that is consistent with it - it also has the ability to ignore or delete other "non essential" information...

It could have been for example that Sugar Ray had heard (but forgotten...) that Jimmy Doyle had an existing injury - it was the subconscious that joined the dots for him and predicted the future in his dream..

The beauty of the subconscious is that it can be "programmed" - it is choosing and deleting information all the time without you realising it - but we have the ability to choose what the focus becomes.

There is a part of the Brain called the Reticular Activating System RAS - that we can set or target on specific outcomes. It is effectively a filter for our brains that enables us to focus on what it believes is important, and also direct our conscious thoughts and actions accordingly...

Remember, it is being set anyway, but by random adverts, comments and thoughts; the opportunity we have is that we can tell it what we want to focus and it will direct us accordingly...

Example #1

When Lynn was pregnant - the world seemed to be full of Pregnant women, they were everywhere...

At the Supermarket, on the High St and on TV.

I was "attuned" to Pregnant women therefore I saw more of what I was subconsciously looking for - there were no more around than there ever had been, but I simply began to notice them more...

Example #2

I have a clear "image" of what an ideal client looks like. I know their age range, personality type, industry sector and business and personal experience...

So when I do my Marketing - guess what shows up..?

Because what I choose to focus on will become manifest to me, and it will for you too...

Setting your RAS...

When we set our RAS towards something it gives us the ability to behave in a way that is consistent with our chosen future goal or objective, delete the non relevant information and miraculously "attract" to ourselves what we put out there as Goals or Objectives..

Whatever we tell our subconscious it takes as being true; it doesn't care whether we tell it good or bad, truth or lies, positive or negative. It will however, always have the ability to affect our behaviour in support of it...

So be careful with your RAS - set clear positive goals, reinforced with positive thinking, knowledge and inspiration. Your behaviours will follow suit...

Oh yes - and only hang round with people who support you...

So Do Dreams Come True...?

Yes, just make sure you choose which ones...
