Well, we know who we are really- souls having an experience in a human body. But, how do you live through that body? Is your behavior that of a loving and accepting soul being the light and helping others? If not, it might be time to look inside starting with how you talk to yourself.
Yes, we all talk to ourselves and there is plenty of evidence proving it. So, is what you say to yourself loving or hating, accepting or judging, learning or stagnating?
We are sponges taking in everything we hear and see as children. We are literally programmed starting from in the womb, and now research shows that we can be genetically programmed with our thinking. So, our ancestor’s experiences and thought patterns can affect us too. We are imprinted and programmed with our genetic code and with all the input from our environment, which usually reinforces the genetic programming.
It’s not necessarily on purpose, especially concerning our parents. Most parents want to be the best parents possible and keep you safe from the hurtful world. And some people, like teachers, think it is their responsibility to share their inner and societal programs with us. Mostly, I think, to again keep us safe by getting us to fit in or making us a mini them - or just to make things easier for them.
As we grow physically, we often just keep duplicating and reprogramming the same stuff we were taught and we become our own subconscious programmers, never realizing the cage we are putting ourselves in. Forgetting who we really are and developing roles that we can play to feel safe and fit in with our tribe.
The programs that become most important are often the ones with the deepest roots, especially those formed from trauma and strong emotions. We begin to own these thoughts, this self talk, even if we don’t like them and would never say them to someone else. Our self talk becomes a programmed routine repeated over and over, with the strongest and most repeated and emotionally based becoming the most deeply rooted and controlling, separating us from our truest self, our very soul/higher self.
What are some of your most common thoughts that hold you back?
