Se libérer de nos croyances limitantes - Dialogue avec Marc Isenschmid

This episode of "Dialogue" features philosopher Fabrice Midal in conversation with Marc, author of "Comment ne pas laisser le monde se défaire," discussing how individuals become disconnected from their own power and how to regain it. Marc explains that beliefs are not just thoughts or opinions but automatic programs that run within us, often unconsciously. These beliefs, which can be deeply ingrained over years, even from childhood or inherited from ancestors, manifest as recurring phrases like "I won't succeed." They are not merely psychological but can be felt physically and affect our entire being. A common symptom of being disconnected from one's power is inaction and an inability to see solutions, often expressed as "It's useless," "I won't manage," or "It's impossible." This feeling of powerlessness arises because individuals have accumulated negative experiences that lead them to believe success is unattainable and that life will always present obstacles. Conversely, those who have had more positive experiences and overcome challenges develop a sense of self-confidence, which emanates from their felt power and positive experiences. Marc emphasizes that true power is more than just psychological or mechanical; it's a deeper, more spiritual, and intimate connection to our soul. This primary creative force, inherent in all beings, can manifest through consciousness and the unconscious. However, many people experience internal conflict, with opposing beliefs clashing within them, such as believing they can succeed while simultaneously believing they will fail. These internal conflicts are a significant source of powerlessness. The conversation delves into how this primary creative power manifests. One key aspect is synchronicity – being in the right place at the right time, activating the right thing at the right moment. This is often overlooked by those who feel unlucky. Marc explains that our unconscious mind plays a role in creating synchronicity. He shares anecdotes, like a friend calling on their birthday shortly after being thought of, or a client finding the love of their life in Patagonia, only to discover they were from the same country and lived on the same street. Synchronicity highlights that when we create, we are not alone; our unconscious minds communicate, creating favorable encounters. Marc clarifies that power is not solely about forceful action or willpower. While action is necessary, it must be balanced with "lâcher prise" (letting go or surrender). He uses the analogy of a painter, whose skill isn't measured by the force or duration of their brushstrokes but by the final artwork. Similarly, creating one's life requires a balance between action and surrender, not relentless effort. Making choices and charting trajectories are also manifestations of power. When we make a decision, we are propelled forward. However, self-sabotage can occur through conflicting desires. If we consistently experience success after making a choice, we develop the perseverance to overcome obstacles, which stems from that initial self-confidence. Marc then addresses the confusion between power and synchronicity, explaining that synchronicity is an interaction between souls and unconscious minds, leading to favorable encounters. He posits that it's not about having "greater" power but about removing internal obstacles that block this inherent power. This fundamental power, when unblocked, leads to fluidity, a state of being often observed in children who are in tune with life and their inner power without overthinking. As we grow, we erect barriers, leading to a disconnection from this fluidity and thus from synchronicity. When this primal creative power is blocked by beliefs, prohibitions, or negative decisions, it doesn't disappear but instead fuels negativity. A pessimist, for example, will unconsciously create the negativity they perceive. Marc emphasizes that the solution isn't simply to be optimistic but to recognize that we co-create our reality, often unknowingly, and that much of our suffering stems from hitting against walls we've built ourselves. The conversation shifts to Marc's method for overcoming these blocks, focusing on the concept of "beliefs." He defines beliefs not as opinions but as automatic programs, recurring thoughts often expressed in negative phrases like "I won't manage." These beliefs are deeply embedded, often unconsciously, affecting our physical selves, soul, and psyche, acting like a pervasive background noise. Marc's approach is de-culpabilizing, recognizing that we are often prisoners of these unseen beliefs, which can feel like undeniable truths. He explains that these beliefs are not just opinions but can encompass memories, old decisions, patterns, emotional wounds, and more. He uses the analogy of beliefs being like minerals in the soil that influence how plants (emotions and thoughts) grow. The core of Marc's proposed solution is "erasing" these beliefs. He describes how traditional therapeutic methods often focus on one belief at a time, which is time-consuming. Through a personal revelation, he discovered the ability to directly erase beliefs. He recounts an experience of erasing the belief "I am my mind," which was followed by a physical symptom (lumbago), suggesting a bodily reaction to releasing a deeply held belief. He has since developed methods to minimize such reactions. To erase beliefs, one must first identify them. This involves listening to one's thoughts and speech, paying attention to recurring negative phrases. Marc differentiates this from trying to erase emotions directly, emphasizing that beliefs are the underlying cause. For example, the fear of public speaking is an emotion, while the underlying beliefs might be "it will go badly," "I will stammer," or "I will be judged." The process involves stating, "I erase this belief and conception," which can be applied through voice affirmation. A significant hurdle is the ingrained societal belief that solutions must be complex. This resistance to simple methods needs to be erased first. Marc likens this to Indiana Jones stepping into the void, requiring a leap of faith. People often cling to their beliefs because they confuse them with their identity. However, Marc argues that our true identity is more primal and independent of these beliefs. He explains that the ability to erase beliefs is rooted in our inherent capacity to "uncreate" or forget things that are no longer necessary. While we naturally forget mundane details, traumatic memories tend to persist. Marc's method allows for the erasure of "secondary memories" – the sensory, emotional, and associative elements surrounding a traumatic event – while still acknowledging the factual memory of the event itself. This allows for healing and resilience. Beyond beliefs and memories, Marc identifies other conditioning factors: associations, logics (super-beliefs that shape our thinking, like the expectation that bad people will be punished), schemas (recurring patterns indicated by words like "always" or "never"), decisions, prohibitions, and promises. Marc stresses that the most crucial part of his approach is the act of erasure, not just identifying the conditioning factors. Simply reading about these issues without a method for release can increase stress. His book provides a step-by-step process of erasure, making it progressively easier. The goal is a "primary cleansing" that restores fundamental power, rather than constant self-surveillance. While the book offers a foundational approach, Marc notes that working with him directly allows for more nuanced and advanced techniques, particularly for severe traumas, phobias, or physical issues. He considers the book to represent a small but fundamental percentage of his capabilities. He concludes by emphasizing that this method has been profoundly liberating for him and others.
