In this page I explain what is meant by Inner Voices.

If you are creating your own Personalised Manifestation Technique, you need to understand this term.

This concept, of Inner Voices, was first brought into use by a Clinical Psychologist called Robert Firestone.

He found that many people had a sort of ‘Internal Running Commentary’ going on all the time,

… that was often negative in its outlook,

… and affected the way that those people interpreted events going on around them in such a way that it caused them emotional pain and distress.

It was almost as if these people had a sort of self- destructive “Background Voice” that constantly monitored what was happening in the mind and then gave it some sort of negative attitude.

And this negative attitude then became like a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ and created negative behavior as a result.

He coined the term Critical Inner Voice for this, (which is now usually shortened to just Inner Voice).

Essentially this can be defined as –

... the overall feeling, or mental overlay, that many of you tend to give to your thoughts,

... (often on a regular basis), that affects those thoughts in a negative way,

... and therefore also affects your actions resulting from those thoughts .

To make this clearer I will give you an example of one single thought idea -... when it is colored, or influenced by examples of several Inner Voices in turn.

So let’s take the example of the writing that you have to do when you are creating your own Manifestation Technique.

When you think about that, what happens, as regards your Inner Voices ?

1. If you are not influenced by any particular Inner Voice -

Then your thoughts might be something as follows –

O.K., There’s a lot of stuff that I have to think about from deep down within myself, as truthfully as possible.

Then I have to write it all down, clearly and carefully.

Obviously it is going to be quite a lot of work, so I will start straight away, and work at it slowly and steadily until it is complete. And it may take me several days, but that’s alright, then I will be sure to have it done right.

2. Now look at what happens if you are influenced by the Victim, as your main Inner Voice

Your thoughts could be more like this –

O.K., There’s a lot of stuff that I have to think about from deep down within myself, as truthfully as possible.

Oh ! That’s hard, because so many bad things have happened to me, I don’t know why.

Then I have to write it all down – but what if someone comes in and sees all that, I would be mortified.

Obviously it is going to take me a long time, and I am sure that there will be lots of interruptions as I am trying to do it.

Anyway, I will try, but I don’t know if I can do it, as my husband always says that I am no good at things like this.

3. Now the turn of the Critic as your Inner Voice

Your thoughts may be –

There’s a lot of stuff that I have to think about from deep down within myself, as truthfully as possible.

I’m not sure if I can do that completely enough, or if I can be completely truthful about it.

Then I have to write it all down – but I have never been very good at writing, and my spelling is not the greatest.

Obviously it’s going to be a lot of work – I don’t know if I have the stamina to do such a big project.

Anyway I’ll try, but I really think that it may be too difficult for me.

4. Imagine your Inner Voice is the Child

You may think like this –

There’s a lot of stuff that I have to think about from deep down within myself, as truthfully as possible.

I don’t know if I’m clever enough to do that – I wish someone could show me how.

Then I have to write it all down – Oh I wish someone else could do that for me, I’m not a good writer.

Obviously it’s going to be a lot of work, I wish someone could walk me through it, as I don’t think I can do it by myself.

Anyway, I’ll try, but I really don’t think that I’m clever or adult enough to be able to do it right.

5. Now suppose that your Inner Voice is Inertia

It might sound like this –

There’s a lot of stuff that I have to think about from deep down within myself, as truthfully as possible.

That’s going to take a long time, and I don’t know if it’s worth it.

Then I have to write it all down, what a hassle !

Obviously it’s going to be a lot of work, I don’t know.

Well, maybe I will try tomorrow – or the day after.

Look back on these 5 different examples that I have just given you, and see if you can recognize a small part of yourself in any one of them.

Quite possibly you will feel a sense of recognition with at least one.

(”Aha – yes, I can see some parts of this one in myself.”)

If so – then that is probably your Main Personal Inner Voice.

It is now recognized that we all tend to have one or more of these to a greater or lesser extent.

Although sometimes it can be quite difficult to recognize this in yourself, without looking deep inside at the way that you think.

As we all are influenced by various Inner Voices from time to time and often don’t even recognize that fact.

So I am sure that you have a better insight into what is meant by that now.

So how do you use this Inner Voice information in your Personal Manifestation Technique ?

Part One of your Manifestation Instructions

and then to the 4th paragraph which says -

4. Now a very important and "soul searching" part - write down all of the reasons Why you do NOT want these things

Then continue onwards from there again, but this time, -

keeping a part of your awareness looking out for any small hint that you are letting your thoughts be influenced by any sort of Inner Voice,

… and correct that as soon as you notice it –

… so that you stay in a mental space like our first example above –

… where you are not influenced by any one of them.

(Yes – I know that is hard, but if you do not feel confident at this stage, then re-read this page again, to make it even clearer to you, before returning to the Manifestation Technique page).
