So the first seven years is programming
and then after that we play, actually unfortunately,
5% of our life from our creative conscious mind, 95% from the program.
Every time I finished a lecture, the first question was, "how do you change it?"
It was like, at that time, I didn't have any idea how to change it,
I just recognised how it worked and it was so frustrating,
but now, I've really, over the years in my study,
and now I really understand how you change it.
And the idea is, well, how do you change a program?
95% of our behaviour is coming from sub, below consciousness.
And we're the ones that can't see it when we play it
but everybody else of course is seeing exactly what we're doing.
So the whole idea is are you living the life you want
or are you living the life you've been programmed?
And the answer unfortunately is most of us are living the life we've been programmed.
And the programming comes from other people, so it's not our lives.
Let's give a reason why programming occurs, okay?
The brain is a computer.
The most powerful computer that humans have ever experienced.
But it has parallels to computers and number one is this:
in the old days, when you would buy a computer before they put the programs in,
you could bring it home, brand new computer, plug it in, push start, boots up, screens on,
and I say "do something!"
And people say, "well, no, it can't do anything you've got a brand new computer now..."
First we have to put programs into a computer
before you can use that computer.
The brain of a human is the same thing.
The screen lights up in the last trimester of pregnancy, it's ready,
but there are no programs.
So the first seven years of a child's life,
the brain is not operating at the higher level of consciousness.
Higher level, higher vibration. That's what we talked about.
We put wires on a person's head, electroencephalograph, read brain function.
A child up through seven is not operating at consciousness except for a little bit.
It's primarily operating at a lower vibration called Theta.
And I said, well, what is Theta? I say, it's expressed as imagination.
So that's how children can have a tea party and they pour nothing into the cup
and then they drink the nothing and then
they explain how that was the best tea they ever had.
Or a child rides a broom saying it's a horse.
In the child's mind, that is not a broom, it's a horse.
But it's mixing imagination and reality.
But Theta is hypnosis. And the significance of that is
children have to learn how to become a member of a family, the rules.
Member of a community, the rules.
I go, how can an infant, a young kid learn these rules?
They can't go to school, they can't read a book and all that.
And I said, you don't have to, nature provided Theta hypnosis
so that they can observe the parents, the family and the community,
just observe their behaviour and download those as programs.
Age seven, then that's when they start to become more conscious
and engaging themselves.
So the first seven years is programming
and then after that we play, actually unfortunately,
5% of our life from our creative conscious mind, 95% from the program.
Every time I finished a lecture, the first question was, "how do you change it?"
It was like, at that time, I didn't have any idea how to change it,
I just recognised how it worked and it was so frustrating,
but now, I've really, over the years in my study,
and now I really understand how you change it.
And the idea is, well, how do you change a program?
That was the issue, not how do you change the conscious mind,
how do you change the subconscious mind? Because it doesn't learn.
Conscious mind learns by just whatever, you read the book. I learned it.
Subconscious mind doesn't learn that way.
I said, how does it learn?
I say, well, in the first seven years that's when I said the programming went in.
The brain wasn't functioning at the higher level of consciousness,
it was actually a little lower that was called Theta,
the vibration, the imagination, and all that, that's hypnosis.
So the first way we learned programs was hypnosis because
the function of the brain was at a lower vibration.
Some people might remember the old days when, hypnotherapy, they'd have a watch
and the hypnotherapist would swing the watch back and forth
and they would say, "you're getting tired, you're getting tired..."
and what was the point?
When you get tired, you lower the vibration of the brain.
And the moment you fall asleep, actually, consciously,
the next level of activity of the brain is Theta.
Before it goes down to the lowest vibration Delta-sleep.
So every night when you go to bed,
there's a period just after you close your eyes
and you're essentially disconnected for a moment, your brain is operating in Theta.
Well, Theta is hypnosis.
So I said, well, that's how your brain was in Theta during that childhood as predominantly.
Now you're an adult. I say, yeah, but you have Theta every night when you go to bed.
So I said, what can you do? And this is the old story, you've heard people do it.
You put a pair of earphones on at night.
You play a program that you want to be true in your life.
And while you're awake, you might hear the program,
but the moment you fall asleep, the conscious mind shuts off,
but the subconscious mind is now in record, Theta.
So whatever is coming through the earphones at that moment after you fall asleep,
you don't hear it, but the subconscious mind is hearing it
and downloading it in a state of Theta.
So the first way of changing a belief system is to get into Theta.
And this is called self-hypnosis, put the earphones on, play the program.
That program's for health, happiness, love, joy, whatever, and just go to sleep.
Which is really cool because you don't have any, there's no studying here,
you just play the program.
