Posted July 3, 2017 Hello! I am stuck in the victim mindset and would like to transition to the creator mindset. Do any of you have tips, books or video suggestions on how to switch mindsets? (I've already watched Leo's victim video a few times) Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2017 @Joseph Maynor I did, but I don't remember much from it, did he have a lot of info on this? I might watch it a few more times if that is the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 3, 2017 @Annetta writing down what you want is the beginning of creation. You're over thinking. Let it be simple. It's a one step at a time process, repetition, just like how you got to where you are now. You chose a victim perspective, and have been repeating it. Use the same process. Allow time. More repetition = less time. MEDITATIONS TOOLS ActualityOfBeing.com GUIDANCE SESSIONS NONDUALITY LOA My Youtube Channel THE TRUE NATURE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 @Joseph Maynor I just finished it and it was a gem of an episode, I am going to do the steps as soon as I wake up later today.@Nahm Okay, that makes sense. I watched a video earlier today that touched on these points as well about the gradual process of enlightenment and I feel that it can be applied to this advice.

Posted July 3, 2017 The problem is that you as an ego cannot control life. So if you want to be a "creator" or "controller" of life you will simultaneously also be a victim and vice versa. They go together as far as I've explored this issue. But of course, I could be wrong. What is Truth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 @Toby I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The mindsets will persist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 @Annetta Have you ever encountered CBT? Cognitive Behavioural Therapy? I've found it to be an immensely useful, evidence-based approach to challenging my automatic thoughts, interpretations, beliefs, and their resultant emotions. I don't know where in the world you live, but in the UK I know there are many free services which offer short courses, and I expect this is true in many other areas of the world. Even if it costs, I'd argue that it's worth it (so long as you engage with it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2017 @Telepresent I have heard of it! I might try it or DBT, depending on what I can get. How does CBT work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2017 19 hours ago, Annetta said: @Toby I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The mindsets will persist? The mindset is the same. It is the assumption that you are someone who can control life. If everything goes "right" outwardly or emotionally/mentally you then call yourself a creator. If things go "wrong" and you are sad about it, you call yourself a victim. It is the same mindset which shows up differently. The only way to be free from it you have to question who you are and if it is really you (as a person) who is in charge of life. You see then that you create the universe but you are not in charge/control of it. This is not a mindset but an insight. A lot of PD-teachings and New Age teachings will tell you otherwise. That is my perspective and as I said, I could be wrong. What is Truth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2017 @Annetta In a nutshell it's about 1) understanding how our thoughts, behaviours, and feelings all interact and influence one another (often in automatic / subconscious ways), so that we can 2) learn how to challenge, interrupt, and alter them. It's very practical: simply understanding the theory doesn't work, you have to apply it in practice, but it's very useful for identifying what your negative thinking patterns are, and directly challenging them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2017 @Telepresent That sounds right up my alley, as that's exactly the problem I am facing. I'll ask about it, thanks for the suggestion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
