Summary

Understanding how the mind works is critical to attracting and enjoying abundance, wealth, prosperity, personal goals and women. For sustainable growth you have to reprogram your subconscious mind. Kill your limiting, negative beliefs.

Mostly aimed for beginners and intermediates. Thus, click-bait title.

Most self-development literature touch on this topic.

Your mind is the key

What you sow you reap

You have to accept your past and the status-quo. You were used to be deaf, dumb, and blind. Your mind has been used against you so as to work Universal law against yourself. What you put in (input) is what you get out (output). You got programmed with negative thoughts, beliefs, and images via a plethora of tools such as television (movies, nightly news, etc.), music, and other media knowing that your thoughts and beliefs create and shape your reality (existence). You are not taught how to go within and develop your inner gifts and attributes so as to live the experience you are capable of.

You may be not fully responsible for your past, but shifting away your responsibility will not get you anywhere. Take the hit and accept your failure here. Blaming externalities is shifting energy outside, but you need your energy inside yourself.

Thus, you have to be fully accountable for your every action and belief in your past, presence and future for the sake of self-improvement.

Waking up

It is imperative that you understand how the subconscious mind works because when you do, you'll also discover how the world works.

The subconscious mind is nothing but the neural pathways that have been established in your brain as result of your past beliefs and conditioning. During your unconscious existence, when you weren't aware enough, you ended up absorbing a lot of limiting beliefs, negative conditioning and misguided perceptions about life, that you took to be “true” and hence believed in them enough to create strong neural pathways in your brain about them – causing these patterns of thought to become “subconscious”.

Neural pathways are physical links, they are real and they are no different from a strong rope made from interweaving several layers of strings.

Understanding

Once you consciously see through a negativity, or a negative belief, within you, the neural pathway associated with that negativity will take time to come down, even when you are no longer supporting it consciously – it could well take a few months for a neural pathway, associated with a pattern of thought, to come down fully.

Frustration

A lot of people who are new to the Redpill feel frustrated that their brain is not able to sync up with this understanding.

The basic deal is that your conscious mind has gained the understanding, but your subconscious mind is yet to get programmed in it – it still has strong neural pathways associated with the old beliefs, conditioning and thought pattern.

The conscious mind can get it immediately, and you can feel a sense of relief and elation on getting the clarity, but the very next day you can come up against the subconscious mind that starts churning out the old patterns.

Reprogramming

To program your subconscious mind, with the present conscious understanding that you’ve gained, will take time, and you need to make an allowance for it, understanding that it’s a physical process of bringing down the old neural pathways in your brain. (Neuroplasticity)

In fact these neural pathways are constantly reinforced by your current reality, because your present reality is by itself a web that you’ve interwoven through your thought patterns, so for a while you would need to create a rift in this unconscious reinforcement by consciously dis-identifying with the negativity in your present external reality.

Hence, refrain from old patterns, old beliefs and old actions, which you consider to be a barrier on your self-improvement journey.

You are free

By dissolving these limiting beliefs, you can break free once and for all and begin to experience your life fully.

What would you do if you only had 6 months to live?

 

 

Lessons learned:

 

  • Allow your subconscious mind to reprogram itself due to brain plasticity

  • Refrain from old patterns and actions

  • Throw your god damn TV out the window.

  • Accept your past and forgive yourself.
