We alter our own problems, and the programs within others, by communicating. Successful communication is rewriting other peoples’ programs.
We utilize two types of communication. Internal Communications go from our own spirit, the spiritual entity within us that makes us say “I want” or “I will” to the parts of our minds and bodies that deal with such things, and causes them to write the Programming it needs to create to get the job done.
“Today, I want to make a picnic table.” is a communication between our spirit and our Mind and Body Programs. There are trillions of such decisions being made every day. One may decide, “Today, I want to make a successful sales call.” Someone else may decide, “Today, I want to change public policy regarding water usage.” Or, “I’m planting my own tobacco.” When we multiply the number of wishes and wants worked on by the number of people in the world who want and do things, we get a very vague notion of just how much wanting and willing is going on around us. If all this programming were as visible to us as it is to God and His angels, it would be as if a huge cloud of bees had enveloped the globe and each one of us.
After we decide to act on a want, our communication is between our mind and body and the Outside Programs that must be aligned to satisfy our will. External Communication is necessary.
We get feedback (External Communications) from the Outside Programs as we try to align them with ours. If we have, for instance, determined to make a picnic table, we often want to save time by getting Operating Instructions from those who have built picnic tables. We may download the information they found, compiled, and recorded to decide what sort of wood to buy, and line up the necessary tools and equipment. Soon, we start actually making the picnic table. That requires Internal Communication with body parts to cut the wood and drive the nails, and is often enjoyable. That Internal Communication is always more successful when interrupted by Outside Communications with the instructions.
We use External Communication to encourage people, living programs like ourselves, to do what we want. We may decide, for instance, “The Picnic Table Program that I want to exist in my yard is at Home Depot. I will get it there and a clerk will put it in my car.” Or, we may decide that another Picnic Table Program will work better to align our specialized desire with a picnic table that has to be custom-made. So, we may decide, “Joe, who has already programmed himself with the necessary carpentry skills, should build the picnic table for me.” This requires External Communications aligning Joe to provide the three dimensional programming we need. We will often rehearse what we want to tell Joe with Internal Communications to reach the proper Outside Alignment of his programming skills with our desires.
If Joe is a good programmer of such things, and will leave him alone, we’ll usually find ourselves with what we wanted. If we stand over Joe, making no end of helpful programming suggestions, the result of his programming is almost guaranteed to be less successful than it would have otherwise been.
When we get other people involved in helping us re-program things, two other types of programs, Carrots and Sticks, are necessary to download.
Those who choose stick programs are usually not happy with their own programming, much less with that which is done for them.
