The cycle of thinking and feeling overtime creates a subconscious state of being!
So, all beliefs are subconscious states of being.
Hello, guys!

We have beliefs about God, about spirituality, about health, about
relationships, about love... And all of those are based on our past
experiences, but the majority of those
beliefs,
we don't even know that we believe them, because we think they're true.
Because they're not functioning primarily in the conscious mind.
So then, if you take a belief, a belief, a belief, and you stack them
together, you start to form was called "perceptions". Perceptions have
everything to do with the relationships we have, the things we create,
the behaviors we demonstrate, and even the choices we make in our
relationships.
So then,
why is that important?
Because then, if beliefs are subconscious states of being,
and you're stringing beliefs together, then most people are viewing their life
through the lens of the past. Unconsciously! And they are filling in reality,
they're seeing reality, they're filling it in from their past memory.
We know this to be true because they did an amazing experiment where
they took a group of people
and they had to wear these lenses. And the lenses were divided in half.
And when they looked to one side
they saw one color. When they looked to another side, they saw another color.
And they said to them:
Okay, well wear these glasses every day for two weeks, take your kids
to school.
Do all the things you do at work.
You know, go shopping, workout, live your life. At the end of two weeks
they brought those people back into the lab and they said: Look to the left,
what color do you see?
We don't see a color. Look to the right, what color do you see?
We don't see a color.
Now, this says couple of things. Number one, the eyes don't see, the brain sees!
But more emphatically important is that those people were filling in their
external reality based on their memory and their brain.
If they were truly seeing, they would be seeing those colors, right?
So then, in our perceptions then, we are overlaying our future.
We're overlaying the present moment with our memory of the past.
And so then, that then begins to diminish possibility. And it begins to
close down the way that we can begin to navigate and function in our lives!
So then,
in order for us
to change any belief or perception about ourselves and our lives,
we have to make a decision with such firm intention that the
amplitude of that decision carries a level of energy that is greater
than the hardwired programs in the brain and the emotional
conditioning in the body, and the body has to respond to a new mind.
In other words, the choice becomes an experience that the person never
forgets, because the internal experience begins to re-organize the
circuitry in their brain, and send a new emotional signature in their body!
And in that moment, the person is becoming liberated from the past!
And that is how people,
I mean you think about it, how can
the preacher, deep south of the United States, move into a state of
religious faith and drink strychnine and have no biological effects?
Or the mother whose child is trapped under the car, who lifts up the car
and pulls the child out?
The mother doesn't say: Geez, I didn't work out in 2 weeks, or: God, I ate
carbohydrates yesterday.
She's not in any polarized state.
She moves into a state of absolute certainty, and it's energy that lifts
that car up. Because energy is the epiphenomenon of matter.
And when she makes that change internally,
her body's literally responding to a new mind.
So then, in order for us to change our beliefs about spirituality, about
money, about God, about relationships, we have to come out of our
resting state. And the experience inwardly has to be transcendent
or greater than any past experience. And that's when biology begins to change!
People live
the majority of their life in familiar feelings.
You wake up in the morning as Ben, you look over at your wife and you
remember your wife, that begins to fire certain circuits in your brain,
you have certain feelings for her based on past experiences,
you lay in bed and you think about all those things you have to do and
all the problems you have. And every one of those thoughts begins to
produce certain emotion, and you start to reaffirm your identity. You get up,
you look at the dresser your grandmother gave you, you unconsciously
perceive it as something,
then you go to the bathroom, you use the toilet.
You think of a cup of coffee, you get a cup of coffee, then you go
back into the bathroom to take a shower, you dress.
And then you go back and check your emails, there's a certain routine that you do.
And because those familiar emotions ground us in our identity,
then the moment we are feeling the same way every single day
then all of a sudden, we begin to live life from particular biology.
And so then, you start thinking about all the knowns you have to do in
your life.
All the people you have to see, the places you have to go, the things
you have to do at very specific times, and you anticipate the
feeling of every single one of those events. You start to think about
how they're going to feel.
Ahhh, I got to see that person.
I got to do that thing.
I got to go shopping.
I got to do this. And the reason that you are having a thought that's producing an
emotion means you can predict the future, and you're going to know
how it's going to feel.
So, if you can predict the future event and you know how it's going to feel,
then it means nothing new
can happen in your life. Because a new experience should have a new emotion.
So, people unconsciously begin to select knowns in their life and they
begin to emotionally embrace it, and what they're doing is they're limiting
their possibilities.
So,
it limits the amount of room for the unknown or the uncommon to happen
in their life because their body's programmed into a
predictable future based on the emotions and memories of the past.
So then,
certain things in our life bring pleasure. If you start thinking about a
cup of coffee or seeing your new puppy, you're coming home and seeing
your wife or whatever it is,
you select that thought in your mind. And if there's a reward that goes
along with it, something that's going to feel good,
the amazing effect is that your brain begins to produce the exact
chemicals in anticipation of that event!
So, your body is beginning to anticipate or expect that future, and your
body is preparing itself for that event.
Now,
there's nothing wrong with that, because you're anticipating
the reward. But the antithesis begins to become a problem. When you're
thinking about going to work and sitting next to the co-worker who you
judge and hate, when you're thinking about waking up in the morning and
you got to look for your pain in your back. And there it is,
because you look for it.
You have a deadline for something that's taking all of your time and energy,
people have certain problems in their life that have emotional
correlations.
So then, as they begin to look at those issues and things in their life
based on the knowns, they begin to create the very emotions that keep
them enslaved to the past experiences. And reality stays exactly the same!
So, if feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences,
and you can remember experiences better because you can remember how
they feel,
and those emotions are familiar, it tells us 2 things.
Number one:
Nothing new is happening in your life.
And number two: If you can't think greater than how you feel, or
feelings have become the means of thinking, then you are literally
thinking in the past, and your life is going to reflect that.
So then, getting people to begin to change that, from the old self to
the new self, really requires a tremendous amount of awareness!
And that's where my work comes in the play. According to the psychological
and scientific model,
the majority of people in their waking day, in a normal day,
spend about 70% of their time living in stress. And living in stress is
living in survival.
And the actual definition of stress is stress is when your body is knocked out
of homeostasis. Stress is when your body is knocked out of balance.
The stress response is what your body innately does to return itself
back to order.
You have 3 types of stress. You have physical stress like trauma,
injuries, accidents, falls. You have chemical stress like bacteria,
viruses, blood sugar levels, heavy metals in food, hangovers, whatever.
And you have emotional stress like traffic jams, internet connection,
second mortgages, single parenting, 401K's, family tragedies.
All of those things knock the brain and body out of balance. Now, all organisms in nature
can adapt to short-term stress. Pack of coyotes chases a deer
in the forest, the deer outruns the coyotes, the stress is over.
Deer returns back to homeostasis and it grazez again. The event is over.
When the deer perceives a threat in this external environment,
it turns on a primitive nervous system called the "fight or flight
nervous system".
And that autonomic nervous system, that sympathetic nervous system,
begins to mobilize enormous amounts of energy for some threat in the
external environment.
Now, dear has all its physiology changed.
All the blood is sent to the extremities, heart rate increases,
respiratory rate increases, pupils dilate, the 1.300
chemicals that are created in a matter of seconds is to percause the deer
to survive in some difficult condition.
Now, human beings have the same mechanisms.
And when we perceive a threat in our external environment like a lion,
we are going to run or fight or freeze.
But if you've had problems with your co-worker, or you've had a very
difficult experience with your mother-in-law,
the moment you perceive your mother-in-law or your coworker,
and you have a past experience with them,
you're going to turn on the same primitive nervous system
just like you were being chased by a lion.
So, what was once highly adaptive now becomes very maladaptive!
Because when you're mobilizing all of that energy,
you are going to operate in very predictable ways.
You're going to be an amped-up animal with a big memory bank.
So your blood flow
is going to go to the hindbrain anf away from the forebrain.
Which means you're going to react instead of think, rationalize.
But human beings,
the privilege of being a human being is that we can make thought more
real than anything else.
That's the privilege.
So then, you can begin to forecast some future worst case scenario and
you can attend to that thought to the exclusion of everything else.
And you can focus on it to such a degree that you will begin to anticipate
the event and produce the same chemicals as if you were in that
experience.
And you're knocking your brain and body out of balance just by thought alone!
You can begin to unfold some past bitter memory
that's tattooed in the recesses of your gray matter.
And like magic, you can bring it to life.
And in that moment it's real! And you will produce the same chemistry
in your brain and body as if that event occurred. And your body, as the
unconscious mind, is literally living that experience.
So then, when we are living by the hormones of stress and you turn on
that stress response and you can't turn it off,
now you're headed for some disease. Because no organism nature
can tolerate living in emergency mode for extended periods of time.
So, if 70% of the time a person's living in survival, living in stress,
in survival what we do in order to survive
is we are going to select the worst case scenario,
and we are going to begin to plan our behaviors and our emotions in
that experience.
Because anything less than the worst case scenario means we have
better chances of survival.
So we plan for the worst, we emotionally embrace it, and anything less
means we can survive.
So, out of the infinite potentials in the quantum field,
anxiety really represents a poor imagination, but it's highly adaptive
if you're living in survival. Because you got to get ready for that.
So, 70% of the time people are selecting the worst case event in
their life and emotionally embracing it. And they're programming
their automatic nervous system into a very specific destiny! And turns out,
if you keep doing that, and you create the emotions of fear and
worry and anxiety,
and you do that for 10 years, or 5 years, or 3 years, your body is going
to unconsciously become programmed to fear. And it's going to have a
panic attack without you. Try as you may with your conscious mind to
control it,
you've programmed it subconsciously. And now the body, as the mind, is
running a show.
So, the hormones of stress create the emotions of anger,
of agression, of hostility, of violence, of frustration,
of hatred, of fear, of anxiety, of guilt, of shame, of hopelessness,
of powerlessness, of depression.
Those are all chemicals that are derived from the hormones of stress.
And when we live by the hormones of stress, we become very selfish.
Why?
Because when you're in survival, you got to take care of the self.
Your attention is on your body, right?
Your attention is on your external environment.
There's predators out there.
The rush of adrenaline causes the senses to become heightened
and you're a materialist. And you're trying to predict the future because
there's better chances of survival
if you can predict the future based on the past.
When that occurs then, over time
the body begins to break down. Because it's a scientific fact that the
hormones of stress down-regulate genes to create disease in the
long-term. So, if you can turn on the stress response just by thought alone,
and the hormones of stress can make you sick, then your thoughts can
literally make you sick!
So the question is, if your thoughts can make you sick,
is it possible then
that your thoughts can make you well?
