Will Power, why it doesn't work.
by Charles Wm Skillas, PhD, DD, DCH, CI
Many people believe they can solve most of their problems by diligently applying willpower to them. Sometimes, these problems are emotional, mental or physical, and sometimes they just seem to be as though life is against them. They cannot stop smoking, loose weight, get out of debt or resolve a physical or emotional problem they have struggled with for years.
They try willpower, vowing that things will change, recite affirmations ad nauseam, struggle incessantly against the problem and nothing significant permanently happens. If we are the makers of our destiny, why can’t we resolve the issue through application of willpower? Isn’t willpower our force for change against things we don’t like about ourselves? Let me tell you why will power doesn’t work for long term solutions and what we have to do if we really want permanent change.
Willpower is a short-term power function of the conscious mind - it is NOT in the subconscious mind. Bad things happening to us result from bad programming in the subconscious, caused by Negative Forcing Functions in the subconscious. These are caused by negative things that happened to us in this life, past lives, from external energy attachments (Spirit Entities) or from unresolved internal conflicts within ourselves. Unless the forcing function is found and released, it keeps imbedding the negative program it created stronger and stronger. Since the subconscious is a big computer and generates our behaviors from the programs within it, no permanent change in behavior or response to life will occur until the negative programs are eliminated and positive programs replace them. That’s just how it works.
Willpower cannot change a bad program if there is a Negative Forcing Function continually reinforcing the bad program. A temporary respite from the negative condition may occur, but the problem will reappear shortly, because you have not solved it, only alleviated it for a time.

It is something like taking an anti-depressant if you are depressed. The anti-depressant can modify the brain chemistry so you do not feel the effects of the chemical imbalance causing the depression, but you have not resolved the problem permanently by finding the source of the chemical imbalance, which is the forcing function. As long as the forcing function is there, the depression reappears as soon as you stop taking the anti-depressant.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not against anti-depressants because they can provide needed relief while the search for the Negative Forcing Functions goes on, but anti-depressants by themselves don’t permanently eradicate the problem. I don’t think that constantly using anti-depressants in lieu of eliminating the cause of the depression is the way to go. Hypnotherapists cannot legally address depression or any other medical condition because we are not licensed by the state to do so. However, competent hypnotherapists can clear the forcing functions and re-establish the flow of Chi energy through the body and mind and marvelous positive changes in one’s life will occur. So, if you have a problem that willpower can’t solve, find a good Hypnotherapist, eliminate the problem’s source, reprogram the subconscious and be done with the difficulty but, be sure that any entities are first removed or the therapy won’t work because you can’t reach the subconscious self if entities are present and you are just wasting your time and money.
