§ELEPHANT Q & A
23-R, “Switch” authors, Chip & Dan Heath says (in the Rider & Elephant
metaphor) Elephant is equivalent to the subconscious mind, said to hold
the emotions, belief, memory, soul etc. This is where feelings would
reside and function. Q, I ask how are my feelings and emotions doing?
Q, are they growing in ability to be felt by me?
the emotions, belief, memory, soul etc. This is where feelings would
reside and function. Q, I ask how are my feelings and emotions doing?
Q, are they growing in ability to be felt by me?
▲ Good questions. Yes here is where you need some work and
development. Remember childhood events shaped somewhat in getting
your feelings buried and stunted. Think of the saying “Use it or lose it”
You as a teenager said you did not want to feel your feelings. You also
said you only wanted to trust your rational conscious mind. This you did
to a large extent. You developed a well functioning conscious mind and
ignored your feeling-emotional nature, not completely but for the most part
you did not pay much attention to feelings and emotions. If compared
Emotions to Language development you are still in elementary school with
your emotions. Your conscious mind is at a Masters Level, (and possibly
beyond that in some areas.)

▲ Yes you are attending to emotions better and you are improving. The
bottom line shortcut is to go to your heart. Be there and come from there
as much as you can..
24-R, How do I improve my feelings with the “Switch” formula of “SEE,
FEEL, CHANGE?”
FEEL, CHANGE?”
▲ This is under the Elephant section and as formulas go its good.
If and when you ‘see’ in a natural undistorted way, ‘feeling’ of some
kind would emerge. This is when your whole self is to get engaged
as to what these feelings are telling you. Remember feelings are a
language unto itself. Ask what these feelings are telling you and then
respect them as a sign and form of internal communication.
25-R, about my elephant, (s/c mind) how do I keep my elephant
motivated? Explain please.
▲ You can keep your elephant (s/c mind) motivated by shoveling and
feeding the correct kind of fuel into the oven of emotion. (imagine a
coal-fired steam engine train) Good pictures, images and thoughts that
are inspirational and motivational are the fuel ingredients you wish to
send to your elephant//sub-conscious mind.
▲Please notice it is the conscious mind that is the shoveling and
feeding factor. Its’ sadly under-recognized, the one thing all of you do
have control of is your conscious minds’ selection process. Yes, it is
not easy, if not recognized and not developed but this is how the
combined system does work. Why is it so easily forgotten that learning
to walk or talk, riding a bicycle or learning how to drive a car all took
time and effort. You each and all should get real about work, time and
effort. You are here to experience and Learn. Its’ your choice. It is
your responsibility.
26-R, How do I build up and or initiate positive emotion for my elephant
(s/c/ mind)
▲ This has just been answered.
27-R, Author says find the feeling. If true, how do I improve in this area?
▲ This has just been answered. WE add (partly for you) you need to
make a choice and decision to improve in this regard. And, then you
need to place attention and intention together with a sense of surrender
to the primacy of feelings and the emotional language it contains. Get
yourself out of elementary school, move higher up the educational
ladder.
28-R, How do I get and keep control my good motivational feelings?
Q, 'Switch' authors, Chip & Dan Heath says; Elephant has to believe that
it is capable of conquering the change, is this true? Explain please.
▲ Yes this is true.
▲ About keeping and controlling those good motivational feelings,
again you or one must recognize you possess singularity, individuality
and have a willing choice as to what you will think, do think or not think.
This was not meant to be easy. But it is relatively simple to understand.
▲ What you think and do not think (consciously) sets the feelings (and
subconscious energy) into motion. The subconscious// elephant does
the work.
the work.
▲ ‘ Belief’ is a subject unto itself. Think of beliefs as ‘ long held
thoughts.’ Think of them as living invisible energy strands that can and
do come together as a woven mat. (inside of you – of course) For
“things” to come into being they must pass through this woven energy
mat and thus can become material. In short, your beliefs do matter.
▲ (pun intended)
29-R, ‘Switch’ authors, Chip & Dan Heath says; the elephant looks to the
herd for cues on how to act and behave. Is this true? If so I don’t belong
to any herd. How does this affect my behavior and me?
▲ Yes, this is true for elephants. Mammals (people) are meant to be
social animals, with mankind being a special breed of animal, having
self-awareness, free will choice and souls. (etc.)
▲ Each of you has the challenge to understand the co-mingled nature
of dependence, independence and interdependence. “No man is an
island.” Socially there are designated and natural leaders and their
followers, with some people reluctant and some assertive and some
aggressive.
▲ About leadership and herds, many to most people are enjoined into
some kind of collective but not all. Many others go into a single-solo life
style. Both are OK but big and powerful leaders go into the social and
collective mode naturally. They are usually emotionally adept, grounded
and intelligent. Their sense of reality and experience seems more real
and they exude confidence.
▲ What is not known, by collective intention, much of ones’ coming
lifetime to-be, is scripted and pre-decided before you come into this
lifetime. You each are here to learn and experience certain areas and
to work with objective themes. Since life and learning is eternal and you
are immortal, you have the “time and space” to work all of this
out.
▲ You my son, are both underdeveloped emotionally and socially in
this lifetime. We pre-agreed upon this course of action for you. You are
working with a handicap in these areas. Do remember a handicap is
only that.
▲ Not a small point is the subject of free will. In fact, you have limited
free will choice. You are free to choose from within a set of proscribed
conditions and circumstances. If this is difficult to understand spend
some time thinking about the bigger picture, including immortality and
eternity.
30=R, How do I create a herd or a group, if I’m supposed to do this?
▲ Do not worry about this. The intended plan will happen.
31-R, Using the elephant metaphor, (for s/c mind) how can I become the
bull elephant?
▲ This is not yours to be concerned about.
32-R, Switch authors, Chip & Dan Heath say; to motivate the elephant
use lots of compliments, rewards and encouragement. If true, how do I
do these things to and for myself?
▲ Yes. Any and all kinds of positivism are good for the elephant. If
you want a motivating picture for yourself, picture the train engineer or
fireman shoveling coal into the tinderbox and boiler compartment. In
other words, keep feeding the good stuff into yourself and your elephant
-subconscious will appreciate that and will perform in a positive way.
Just having the awareness of being good to your subconscious-
elephant is remarkable and under recognized by most people.
33-R, T/F Authors say, give the elephant the “Why.” if so explain how this
works?
▲ True, for the most part. The question “why” is aimed at getting to the
central basic reason for something. Meaning is there for the whole
being to understand and to rally behind. Work, and effort (which is done
by the elephant//subconscious mind) must have sense, meaning and
reason behind it for it to be carried out by the subconscious mind,
for the benefit of the whole total being.
