The subconscious mind is a powerful force. Most of the foundational thoughts and beliefs and paradigms through which we view the world today are formed in early adolescence, by the age of seven. SEVEN!!! That means that so many of the rules by which you are living your life are based on information you received when you were too young to fully comprehend it. As adults, we are still driven by these lessons we learned and decisions we unconsciously made at the very beginning of our lives. Perhaps it might be helpful to revisit some of these messages now that we are grown?
We’re constantly filtering through our filters, and we use that filtered information to make decisions based on those filters, and then take the results and re-cycle them through our existing filters. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
