Speaker A
you want to achieve. And the only thing that prevents you from doing so is the lies of the mind that tell you that it is impossible.
Speaker A
Your mind is constantly lying to you. It's making up stories and narratives that keep you stuck in your old way of being. For example, it may have just come up with a story right now that you know what, other people can do it, but
Speaker A
it's not possible for me. Well, no, it is 100% possible for you. It's just that you're listening to your mind, which tells you that it's not. And these thoughts that come up and they say stuff like, you know, maybe they can do it but
Speaker A
I can't. Or maybe they're that type of, you know, smart person who can figure it out but I'm not.
Speaker A
These thoughts are really operating and running beneath the surface of your conscious awareness and below the surface they are guiding your life in a certain direction, whether it be negative or positive.
Speaker A
Now some people's self-talk is just naturally positive, and the reason for this is because they grew up with a positive belief system.
Speaker A
So the things that they were told in the early years by their parents, peers, teachers and what they chose to believe was positive.
Speaker A
And so their self-talk, the thoughts that naturally arise into their brain, are positive.
Speaker A
Their mind will say, of course we can do it, you know, we're the type of person who gets things done. Of course, I'm going to be successful. But the person who is programmed with negative beliefs from a young age,
Speaker A
their self-talk is going to be far more negative and destructive. It's going to say, why me? Why should I be able to succeed at this? Or I can't do it but other people can. And the thing is that this voice that we
Speaker A
take to be who we are. Because this voice in our head, it arises as our voice with emotion attached and it pretends to be who we are.
Speaker A
It'll say, "I think this and I think that." It will masquerade as you. But this voice in your head, these thoughts that are happening all day long, they're happening based on the beliefs that you hold.
Speaker A
They're happening based on your past programming. So these thoughts that we're thinking that we take to be who we are have no actual true reality to them at all outside of the reality that we have chosen to give them. Because the thing
Speaker A
is that our brain is a biological computer and it just runs whatever software it's been programmed with. The problems start when we identify with this brain and with the thoughts that it spouts out.
Speaker A
When we believe that these thoughts are who we are or true to our life, that is when we start believing in the false narrative that we can't do it or we're not the type of person who can make it
Speaker A
happen or I'm not someone who can just decide that it's all going to work out and it will.
Speaker A
But literally every limitation that you've ever had, every limiting belief and thought is just a story that your biological computer of a brain is spouting out based on whatever it's been inputted with.
Speaker A
And for me to prove to you why these thoughts that you think are not actually real and have no true reality to them, you have to take two people who grew up in the exact same way. These two people
Speaker A
have the exact same level of intelligence. But for some reason, one person was told from a young age that money doesn't grow on trees, that money is scarce and hard to come by, etc.
Speaker A
The other person was told that money is abundant. It's easy to get. You know, it flows naturally to people like them.
Speaker A
Now, when these two people grow up and as they're going throughout life, their self-talk or the stories in their head is going to say thoughts around the beliefs that they've been programmed with.
Speaker A
And because we have identified with this mind and we've been taking this mind in our head, these thoughts in our head to be who we truly are, we tend to just blindly believe it.
Speaker A
We blindly believe that this is who we are. This is true for my reality and for who I am.
Speaker A
But in the example that I just gave, you'll see how these two people had actually no say in the matter of what they were told.
Speaker A
And whatever belief that they have been buying into believing to be who they are has simply just become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Speaker A
So what happens is these stories and narratives that we tell ourselves about who we are and what we're capable of, they simply become self-fulfilling prophecies that act in a feedback loop that just gets stronger and stronger and stronger.
Speaker A
And to put it very simply, the way the feedback loop works is that if I think I'm going to be successful, then I'm going to look for evidence of success. I'm going to seek out opportunities and ask for advice and
Speaker A
look in the right areas to get the right information that I need to know. And I'm going to take action and push through boundaries and any roadblocks that come up, I'm going to jump hurdles over them to get to the next level.
Speaker A
So that belief of I'm going to be successful completely determines the actions I take in the external world.
Speaker A
This is as simple as cause and effect. The thought that I will be successful leads to the cause in the external world of me actually taking action with that self-belief behind me.
Speaker A
Whereas if I hold a belief that I will fail, then I'm not even going to take the action that I need to take. I'm going to quit when things get hard. I'm going to not look out at the world and look for
Speaker A
the reasons why I can succeed. I'm going to constantly filter for the reasons why I'm going to fail.
Speaker A
And when you do that, failure becomes inevitable. But neither of these two ways of thinking,
Speaker A
neither of these identities we hold, and no belief or story that you're currently telling yourself is actually true.
Speaker A
It's completely moldable. And when you realize that for yourself, there's a huge amount of power in that realization because you realize that I truly can just decide.
Speaker A
I truly can step into the version of myself that I want to be now because that other version, that other character I've been playing was never actually real or true. And that's why the identification with the mind is what
Speaker A
prevents us from just simply making this shift. Because when we still believe that the mind is who we are, when we have not discovered that we are the awareness that can step outside of the mind and observe it and that we are
Speaker A
not these thoughts that run through our head all day long. When we have not discovered that, then some of the stuff that I'm telling you in this video is going to go over your head.
Speaker A
Not because you're, you know, stupid or anything, but because this mind, it's going to come up and it's going to be like, man, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Of course, I'm my mind. Here I am
Speaker A
right now telling you this story about who this guy is and what he's telling me on this video.
Speaker A
The point is that when you're identified with your thinking and you don't see it as simply a computer program that has been installed in you, then every single time you try to break out of your old identity, it's going to feel like a threat on your
Speaker A
actual self. And that can be scary because it feels like you're actually losing the identity or person that you have built up to this point that you have believed so much to be who you are.
Speaker A
And so it's extremely powerful to understand the stuff that I'm telling you. But it can also be in the beginning slightly destabilizing, right? Because most of us have been going through our entire life just blindly just believing in what this mind
Speaker A
is telling us. And these thoughts about ourselves, these beliefs we hold in the identity that we operate from, it has become so close to us and so automatic that we don't even question it.
Speaker A
So when I say to you, oh, you were never this to begin with, right? It never had any reality. It's just a biological computer program in...
Speaker A
There's going to be a decent amount of resistance to that. And this little voice in your head is going to come up and be like, "What is this guy freaking talking about? You know, of course, this is the way I am.
Speaker A
You know, I've always been this way." But listen, the only reason that you are the way you are is because whatever belief and identity you've been holding has become this self-fulfilling prophecy that has just strengthened the belief more and more and more and made it so
Speaker A
ingrained into you that like I said it comes up with the thoughts and you're just automatically pulled into the thoughts and believing what it says.
Speaker A
So to illustrate this in an example before I had these realizations in my own life I did have a lot of negative thinking and I had a lot of negative self-perceptions of myself and these thoughts these beliefs they
Speaker A
were just running completely unchecked beneath the surface of my conscious awareness because I didn't have enough awareness of my mind to really notice them happening.
Speaker A
And so throughout the day, because I didn't have enough conscious awareness to notice them happening, I was just constantly unconsciously lost in my mind, which was telling me and lying to me, telling me all these old stories about myself and what I'm
Speaker A
capable of. And I would just kind of blindly believe in it. Like the thought would come up and say, "You're not a good singer.
Speaker A
Other people were born with a natural singing talent, but you you don't have a natural singing talent." And then I would just blindly believe this thought as if it was 100% fact.
Speaker A
And sure, at that point in time, there was evidence in the external world to back up that belief or thought, which what made it seem so true.
Speaker A
But like I said in the self-fulfilling prophecy, that is because I had been believing this since the start. And therefore, I could never let go and just confidently sing and let my voice be free because I was always sitting there with
Speaker A
this underlying belief of I'm not good enough. My voice is actually drastically improved. Like I would say I am a good singer now. And that is because I let go of these old stories that I wasn't very good at it and that other people were
Speaker A
but I'm not. The thing is is that entire time that was only a story I was telling myself only something that I identified with and chose to believe in.
Speaker A
But when you realize that you aren't these thoughts, when you realize that you are the awareness, that that is who you really are, is this conscious observer or watcher that sees your mind, then you can really choose the types of
Speaker A
thoughts you want to believe and you can just decide right now that you are this person, that you are this new person.
Speaker A
Anyways, hope this helped.
