I did not mean to suggest that the subconscious would lie, but rather that you would lie to yourself about receiving some subconscious message, just as you may have lied to yourself by conjuring some false past life. The mind is frightfully good at lying to itself, as it turns out.
Yes the mind can lie to itself for various reasons ,aslo many people delude themselves by will with certain aim .But why would you conjure past life in yourself especially if that is painful expereince ?You certainly do not want to inflict on yourself mental traumas or phobias not logically at least .The interesting thing about past life is that people remember mostly the bad things happened they also develop very weird phobias ,which are not logical at all .For example there are a cases when a person developed tremendous unlogical fear of heavy curtains .There is no logical explanation why would someone imagine and inflict to himself such a fear from so mundane thing that it causes anxiety attack .However when the subject went under hypnosis she remembered that she got stabbed in her sleep and then wrapped still alive in curtain and then her body disposed .There is no logical reason why we would imagine and affirm to ourselves phobia or mental trauma .Also people tend not to be able to undertstand why is that fear there ,since logically you are not ment to fear water to the state that you refuse to drink it .In short there is serious underlying issue and you can not dedect what triggered it or the cause of it .
Keep in mind that when in hypnosis we use the more old part of our brain ,which is very adaptable and allows us to adapt fast in order to survive .Why would you make yourself less able to survive and adapt by imagining a situation which result in phobia and mental issues ?The state itself teach you to unlearn the old bad habits and to learn new habits which are good for you .It is very emotional state and subconsciouslly or logically you do not want to experience bad emotions and pain .The reason why we experience negative emotions and pain is because our body or mind tells us there is underlying issue going on .Why would I choose to torture myself by imagining bad things ?
That is a question i asked myself over and over again .I could not find an answer i had no other choice but to except that my pain and fear come from past life ,depsite i am very practical person .It took me a lot to come to terms between my emotional side and by my practical side .Saying to yourself that you are imagining bad things in order to torture yourself is not going to heal you in any way or help you in any way .What is going to help you is to discover what is the issue and deal with it accordingly .
Hm i just realized that let say we went into alpha (hypnosis ) state and we affrmed or suggested to ourselves something let say false memories for past lives ,the affirmation will stay there only for few days before wearing off and then your subconscious will assume its normal working around the clock way .Except if we do not keep reaffirming the same false memory again and again every few days to achieve constant effect .Which i doubt all this people with phobias do everyday .
Which is why we keep doing relaxation and visualization techniques if we want effect in long run .Doing just once visualization or relaxation will not cause profound effects for very long time .However when we work with hypnosis once we discover the source of the issue we can deal with it .
