Human Automatic Guidance System

Our automatic guidance system acts in the same way as the servomechanism that guides an airplane or a guided missile. In a guided missile, the desired position is determined by a computerized map, the actual position by radar. The missile has no brain but posses an electronic device that continually corrects its course, keeping the difference between two positions as close to zero as possible.

All living creature possesses a built-in goal-striving mechanism, a success instinct that guides them toward goals of nourishment, defense and reproduction. In human beings these success instinct helps us achieve emotional and spiritual satisfaction as well as mere physical survival. It operates as a creative mechanism guiding us toward fulfillment of the many goals that make us human and contribute to a rich and satisfying life.

When you are driving a car, for instance, your brain is constantly comparing the distance of the car to the position you want to be in . If you have strayed too far out of the lane, then it signals your arm to put the car back on course by using the steering wheel.

Being human, there is also the tendency to wrongly program our creative mechanism with bad data that can sabotage our success. What determines our programming is our self image. Our creative mechanism operates based on the data of its programming. If it is programmed with images of success it operates as a success mechanism. If it is programmed with negative images and limitations, it will operate as a failure mechanism.

The good news is , if it had all along been programmed with negative data and producing negative results , you can always reprogram it to ensure it operates based on new success data to produce the desired positive results . Like any servomechanism, its program can be changed.

Maintaining your self esteem is a life long process. Throughout your life your self image and your self esteem is being bombarded from all directions by all the elements that may be. But as long as you remember that you have a powerful weapon in your arsenal, you have nothing to fear or to worry. Guard jealously your servomechanism, your brain, and keep programming it with positive data, shield it from the entry of negative input. You will be well on the way to continued success. The only thing or person that can destroy your self image or self esteem is you yourself.

Once in a while you may experience the earthquake of negative intrusion that shakes the very foundation of your self esteem. You may be temporarily dazed and your self esteem is at stake. This is an excellent time to retreat into your decompression chamber, that is "the theatre of your imagination "Relax and visualize seeing and experiencing life-affirming events around you to give your subconscious mind further provisions with which to work. Visualize also all the beautiful things around you and all the tranquility and serenity of this beautiful universe. Immerse yourself in positive visualizations and float in the daydreams of your imaginations, oblivious to the turmoil's of your surroundings. Soon you will be at peace with yourself and your recharged servomechanism will function at full throttle again.

In the process you would have neutralized and fizzled away the intrusion and keep your self esteem intact. Massive intrusions hacking the base of your self esteem is a clear signal that your servomechanism needs to be reinforced with new positive input. It is also a signal that you yourself might be infringing on someone else' territory and drawn to act their scripts which do not run parallel to yours. Take corrective action immediately and ensure that your internal guidance system is back on track to home in on your targets of success.
