when i decide who the new me is there's a philosophical or metaphysical death of the
old self does it simply cease to exist so if your personality is made up of how you think how you
act and how you feel and it is yes or no and you stop thinking the same way and nerve cells that
no longer fire together no longer wire together every place where one neuron connects with another
neurons called the memory so as you begin to unfire and unwire you prune the very circuits
in your brain that are connected to the old self and the memory of the old self begins to mutate
begins to change so then you would say where is that memory stored and it's stored in the soul now
as wisdom because you're no longer that person yes or no and if you could no longer behave the same
way and nerve cells that no longer fire together no longer wire together and pruning is part of
biology you don't use it you lose it then your memory of the old self would begin to change and
that is a biological death in the beginning that is uncomfortable for a lot of people
if you're no longer feeling the same emotions that keep you connected to the past
and you keep inhibiting that process the body will be craving the chemicals in the beginning
because it's been conditioned that way it's been it's been addicted it's the mind and
it's anticipating events and the emotions from those events and you're putting the brakes on
and that's uncomfortable and you got to stay conscious and it takes an enormous amount of
energy and you're no longer signaling the same genes and producing the same hormones
and your body is no longer being influenced by your mind in the same way
and sometimes the mind is the biggest enemy to the body and you're inhibiting that process
and the body which has become the mind wants its way and it's uncomfortable to change and
you've got to be able to be greater than that to truly change and everybody that's changed
has come up against that feeling and they almost make the same choice and they don't and they're
so glad that they didn't and it takes an enormous amount of energy and awareness
to do that so as the old self deconstructs because you have the free will to decide who
you want to be on a moment-to-moment basis and if your life isn't changing and you want to change
your life you gotta change and now you are playing the game and you are now saying this personality
this person that i've become i'm in the habit of being it and i want to become somebody else and
the more you learn about love the more you learn about life the more you learn about possibility
and potential the more you become aware of it there are more possibilities and knowledge is
the thing that gives us that and so the old self is a memory like another lifetime like you can
remember it but you're no longer interested in it any longer because it no longer defines you
how many people understand what i'm talking about so then the biological death of the old self
is crossing a river of change and you got to stay with it long enough to become somebody else and
you think it's about wealth it's you think it's about health it's about who you become
the people who become somebody else they they see dramatic changes in their health
and in their lives and and they can't find the words to be able to explain it
but it's practical though if you truly want to change your life you have to change yourself
you would have to be conscious of your thoughts and aware of your actions and
and familiar with those emotions and you would never fall from grace and if you did
you would stop and self-correct if you truly were interested in evolution and if you said to me it's
i ca i lost it because of that person i'd say that you're back to the unconscious program
of allowing your environment to control how you feel and think you got two choices stay there for
another six hours or pause and change your energy change your energy and get back to the emotions of
your future and the feelings of your future it's a much better place to be reason this with me
you could have a great meditation and condition your body just like you did into the future you
come back to your senses and you return back to the same old self romance in the past again
you're gonna weigh that one 50-minute one-hour meditation against the rest of the day back to you
you got to start practicing we have to start doing it with our eyes open and the thought
of who we want to become should produce the feeling of it instantaneously
in other words the thought of your future should produce the feeling that it already happened
instead of the feeling of lack because it hasn't happened how many people understand that and the
people who do this well they condition their body into the future and they say i don't know
how it happened it's like my body was led right to the event and your body's gonna follow your mind
to an unknown just like it follows your mind to the toilet every morning but instead of it being
the known it's going to be the unknown that's where your attention and your energy has been
i'm telling you it doesn't matter what you believe in doesn't matter the color
your skin what you eat i don't care it doesn't matter i've seen it in all ways
so then the thought of our future if we're doing this properly should produce the feeling
that it already happened if the thought of your future produces the lack that it hasn't happened
you're still in your past and nothing is going to change
and it would make sense then that you would want to get that heart open on a regular basis so that
you can feel the emotions of your future before it happens i'm telling you there's a lot of biology
that changes in you and you do it enough times you become that person a thought of it then produces
the feeling that it's already happened that's how you know you're getting close independent
of what's going on in your life that's when you're mastering yourself and mastering your life
