A number of years ago one of the founders of Mentors in Motion, a Mr. Val Smith put together a view point on the law of attraction. This concept was termed the Captain and the Crew analysis. If we review this theory, we see that it also fits very well into why we develop levels of stress, anxiety and depression. The process is very simple and easy to understand and is laid out in the following article to show, how do we develop anxiety and depression.

Val’s view point, was to see the human mind as a large circular head on a stick body. The large circular head being divided evenly in half by a horizontal line. The upper half of the circle being the Captain and the lower half the Crew.

On the top of the head you would insert two antennas, one with a positive (+) sign, the other a negative (-) sign, and between the antenna, an energy or frequency line. As you well understand, everything in the world around us is driven by electrical impulses or other forms of energy, our thoughts, our speech, everything in our life experience is delivered and processed through either the positive or negative field (in this case our antenna).

The Captain like all good captains reviews the information and then passes on the information to the crew. The information passed on now having the captains view point attached in the format of his interpretation of the original signal positive or negative. The crew rely 100% on the captain as the line of authority so they do not question the information provided.

If the captains as a general negative outlook on life , it is always going to be reflected in his attitude and responses that he provides to the crew, who in turn will forward the negativity in their own actions.

With disorders like anxiety and depression, they have developed out of negative inputs from the captain (our primary brain function) that have been fed to the crew (our sub conscious), with the level of negativity producing fear, tension, high blood pressure culminating in anxiety and depression.

Lets use a couple of examples involving the use of the captain and crew proposal.

Should you as the captain, be told that your ugly you can ignore the advice and remain positive or you can take it as a negative and pass on to the crew that they also are ugly. The crew, must develop what the captain has told them and obey orders without question. Therefore, having been told by the captain they are ugly, the crew is compelled to develop images of ugliness, low self esteem etc.

Similarly if I thank you (the Captain) for something, telling you how wonderful you are. As the captain you experience this as a positive, and tell the crew the same thing. The crew has no choice but to manifest those feelings of feeling good.

Using Val’s theory, we can now start to see that it is our acceptance of our negative position, repeatedly passed to our subconscious by our captain the brain, which is responsible for our stress, anxiety and depression. The captains negative feelings brought about by the impact of external events and vision are manifested by the subconscious, causing our self-doubt, fear, high blood pressure and finally our anxiety and depression disorders.

Negative feed back is a constant, which is more commonly given than words of phrase. Only you as the captain can provide the positive view to the crew that will allow the change to being anxiety free.
