19f. Don't try to control the process.
If you purposely try to visualize a positive outcome to your problem situation without first allowing your mind to go where it naturally wants to go, you will actually slow down the process. You may think you know the way you want things to work out, but your subconscious mind may have entirely different plans. Your mind may need to unload itself first by playing out certain unpleasant negative scenarios before it can consider anything more positive. You see, the primary purpose of the tapping process is not to make things fit our notion of what should happen, but rather, it is a process of discovering what already exists within our subconscious minds about the issue. Only after this is expressed is your mind free to produce a real solution.
Let's talk about your conscious and subconscious minds for a minute. Your conscious mind is like the image on your computer screen, a little bit of information that occupies your attention at a given moment in time. Your subconscious, however, is all of the information and programming that is stored within your computer.
You may think you know something about a subject based on what is on your screen at the moment, but a computer wide search may uncover a great deal of significant additional information within other programs and files on the subject that could change your whole way of thinking. The tapping process allows you to receive the important information about your particular problem.
And so, rather than trying to control the process, just go with what you feel like doing in each scenario, and allow your subconscious mind to come up with the next image or idea. If it is an unpleasant picture, that's okay. That's just a piece of junk that was kicking around inside your subconscious mind and it's good that it was expressed. After the junk has been cleared out, your deeper values, desires, and creative ideas will start to percolate to the surface.
