In the intricate tapestry of human existence, there lies a subtle yet formidable force that shapes every belief, action, and perception: human conditioning. From the moment we take our first breath, we are thrust into a world where we absorb, adapt, and internalize the messages that surround us. Much like molten glass in the hands of a master craftsman, we are molded by our experiences, our cultures, and the environments we inhabit.

Dr. Noah Harari's eloquent analogy of human children as molten glass resonates profoundly. Our malleability allows for an astonishing diversity of beliefs, religions, and thought processes to coexist across cultures. It is a testament to the power of conditioning, demonstrating that we can be sculpted into myriad forms.

Yet, as we venture forth in life, we encounter a startling revelation: we carry within us both the empowering and the limiting. It is within this paradox that we must navigate, discerning the beliefs that serve our growth from those that hinder our potential. This discernment is no small feat, for it requires us to confront the blind spots that shroud our understanding.

The human mind, as Dr. Bruce Lipton aptly observes, operates in a state of receptivity during our formative years, absorbing information without question. This receptivity, while essential for our development, can become a double-edged sword. As we grow, we carry with us the imprints of our early conditioning, often unaware of their profound influence.

Consider, for a moment, the person who endures an abusive relationship, rationalizing it through deeply ingrained beliefs that dictate, "We don't leave, no matter what." It is a tragic testament to the power of conditioning, where the mind clings to a narrative that no longer serves, that is, in fact, destructive. The wounds may be visible, but the underlying belief remains steadfast.

It is imperative, then, that we engage in a process of self-interrogation, a fearless excavation of the beliefs that govern our lives. This journey requires a willingness to confront the uncomfortable, to challenge the assumptions that have become the bedrock of our identities.

In my own evolution, I grappled with the notion that I was an introverted, reserved individual. It was a belief reinforced by those around me, further solidifying its grip on my self-perception. Only through deliberate introspection did I come to realize that this was not a static truth. It was a behavior borne of circumstance, not an immutable facet of my being.

This revelation, while transformative, was not without its challenges. It underscored the profound impact of conditioning, highlighting the need for conscious deconstruction. For it is in this deconstruction that we find our liberation, shedding the layers of false narratives to unearth the authentic self beneath.

As we embark on this journey of self-discovery, let us not shy away from the discomfort that accompanies it. Let us embrace the power we wield to redefine our narratives, to transcend the confines of conditioning, and to emerge as architects of our destinies.

In the crucible of self-awareness, we forge a path to authenticity, reclaiming the agency that has always resided within us. It is a journey of empowerment, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a call to action for all who dare to challenge the status quo.

So, I implore you: confront the conditioning that binds you. Unmask the beliefs that no longer serve your growth. Embrace the power of choice, and step boldly into the boundless potential that awaits. The journey may be arduous, but the rewards are immeasurable.

With unwavering conviction,

Here's a sneak peek of what we'll cover:

1. The Power of Childhood Conditioning: Just like Dr. Noah Harari mentions, children are like blank slates, absorbing everything around them. It's amazing how our early experiences can leave such a lasting impact.

2. Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs: We'll explore how some beliefs that we've carried for years might actually be holding us back. Trust me, I've been there myself, thinking I was something I'm not.

3. Unraveling Blind Spots: We all have those areas where we're stuck, but we can't quite put our finger on why. We'll dive into why blind spots exist and how to shine a light on them.

Stuck in Conditioning Patterns

[00:00:00] We're all stuck with our own conditioning patterns. And even though we're humans, we're a lot like other animals.

[00:00:07] And this has been proven over and over at this point that we can be conditioned to think certain things, to feel certain things, to be certain things. And there's this one historian that writes about this. Dr. Noah Harari wrote a book, Sapiens. He talks about human children. He says that human children are a lot like molten glass.

[00:00:26] You can shape them into a lot of things. This is why we can have such a diversity of People from so many different cultures believe in different religions, different beliefs, and different thought processes, different ways of doing things. So many different strategies of life because we can train people to think in any way we want them to think.

[00:00:46] In fact, I've lived in three different cultures and it's funny when you leave a culture and you look back, you're like, oh, shit. There was a lot of propaganda there, and then when you get to the other one, I'm like, I wonder if there's more propaganda on this side. Of course there is. That's to be assumed.

[00:01:01] But, but here's an interesting thing. So children believe anything. I'll tell you something about my kids. So we play this game. I think my seven year old has caught caught on by now, but we used to when they were little actually, we still play it, but I used to play this more with both of them. I have two daughters.

[00:01:18] Now there are seven and four, especially a couple of years ago. We would play hide and seek and I would hide behind something and and they would come and look in that area and I'm not there and then I would get up and just, it would be a couch and I'm sitting on the couch as if they never saw me.

[00:01:33] And then they will come back and be like Aaliyah would come around my daughter and she'd be like, she'll look at me. I'll be like, what? You didn't see me? I was sitting here the whole time. She looks at you, she's like, no, you weren't. I came here. I'm like, well, did you not know I had invisibility powers?

[00:01:49] She's like, no, you don't. She's like a superhero person. She likes superheroes and I do too. But you can tell on her face, she, she doesn't know how to make sense of that. She's, she's like, what does my dad know how to go invisible? But she's smart enough to say, she's like, well, do it now. I'm like, well, no, I only do it at certain points, but it's not like the, the interesting thing is there were times when I could look at her face and she's, she was believing it.

[00:02:16] This is how we are as human beings, no matter how much we've grown. And by the way, every major system, whether powers, governments, anybody, they use that against people. They will convince you of all sorts of things that are not real, but you will believe that it's real. Now, ideally as conscious beings, we want to learn how to decipher one thing from another, and that's very hard to do in a complex world.

[00:02:39] But as kids, we just take in everything we want. Dr. Bruce Lipton talks about it, the human the, the Mind of a child runs on , theta waves, which means that it's supposed to take in information and not question it. And all of us grew up in the same exact environment. So we're conditioned to feel certain things, believe certain things, think certain things and act certain ways.

[00:03:01] So what happens? There are good things that were taught. Of course, there are good things in our culture, in our religion, in our life, in our society. And there are things that are negative. There are things, and how I define negative, things that are not serving us anymore. And there are things that are downright destructive.

[00:03:19] And, and, I've seen that in my clients, I've seen that in my own life. So for example, somebody would be in a, in a completely abusive relationship, even though in their own culture, they will say that don't be in abusive relationship, but they're conditioned to stay in it. So they'll be in an abusive relationship where they're physically harmed every day, and you can see the wounds on their body, but they're not leaving it because they have a belief that said that we don't leave no matter what.

[00:03:45] And it gets to a point where somebody gets killed, somebody gets harmed, the effects of it goes everywhere. And unless they have some help, somebody pointing to that as, hey, this is not normal. You're not supposed to be killed in a relationship that you're supposed to trust in. But people go through that every day.

[00:04:03] That happens in the Western world, it happens in the Eastern world, it happens all over the world. So why, why can't we do that? Because we're conditioned to believe certain things. We're conditioned to think certain things about ourselves, about other people, about the world. Think about somebody growing up in a family where they're taught that you live in a dangerous world, in a very dangerous world.

[00:04:23] Now, I actually grew up in a dangerous world, but it was very interesting that my parents. Even though we were in danger, we were taught to to, like, connect with the, the positive things in our life, to be loving around each other, to have that time together with each other. Even though we were in war and famine and all sorts of things at times, but we felt we could connect to the positive moments of life.

[00:04:47] And we were told that there's a lot more to life than just this, but imagine, and there were families who went through that. It's that watch out for the world. It's going to get you. And when you grow up with that thought process, your mind looks for that. We know what, what the world is a mixed bag of everything.

[00:05:04] People are a mixed bag of everything. There are people who are positive, who are negative there in every culture, in every society, there, there are systems that are positive. There are negative, there are things that will harm you. There are things that won't, but our mind won't even look for the things that supports us if we don't connect with that, if we don't connect with the positive pieces of it.

[00:05:20] And if we're conditioned to think a certain way, that will be that. Now, there's some of the things that are obvious. There are some things that are completely not obvious at all. There are people that we will go through a whole life thinking that I know this thing and I know this is real, but it is harming us.

[00:05:37] And ways for the longest time. I, for example, I believe that I'm this introverted person that couldn't do, couldn't talk to people. Well, you can clearly see that's not a problem anymore. And, but that took me, like, I believe that wholeheartedly that that's who I am. I'm a quiet person in the corner and that's how I was made.

[00:05:57] That was not true. And other people reinforce that around me. By saying, Oh, you're such a shy person. You're this year, but that was just my behavior in that moment. That wasn't a static thing. But I had to, it took me years to move out of that because I just didn't understand that. That's not who I was.

[00:06:15] That was just my behavior in relation to what was going on to other people. It might have been obvious, but to me, it wasn't obvious at all. And a lot of people go through that. A lot of people will say, I'm not really good with people. I'm not really good in relationships. I'm not really good in business.

[00:06:30] I'm not a confident person, or I'm not. I'm not somebody who can connect with people easily. How do you know? And this is what I'm going to point to is the potential that human beings have is that it's much more vast than we know. And so when we're stuck in our conditioning, we don't know how to get out of it.

[00:06:47] It's a complete blind spot. So I want you to think about this. What are the areas, at least the areas that you're aware of that you feel stuck? And then there will be areas where you see broken patterns, but you don't know why or why they're happening over and over. It might be in your family and might be in the way that you feel on a day to day basis, or it might be in your business where things are breaking down, but you don't know why they're happening.

[00:07:09] Those are blind blind spot areas. You can only see the effect of it. You don't understand the cause. And we all have them. This is why, as human beings, we need other human beings around us. We need other people around us to give feedback, whether those are mentors, coaches, friends, communities, all sorts of things.
