Lecture on Conditioning and the Subconscious Mind

Introduction

• The lecture focuses on how the human mind is programmed and conditioned.
• The importance of understanding subconscious and conscious mind dynamics.

Dr. James Kennedy and the New Age

• Dr. James Kennedy's criticism of New Age and psychology relating to Christianity.
• He equates the concept of believing you are a god with satanic origins.
• Speaker's observation: Despite Dr. Kennedy's credibility, perhaps a misleading interpretation.

Biblical Interpretations

• Reference to John 10:34: Jesus says, "You are gods."
• Reference to Psalm 82:6: God says, "You are gods."
• Speaker points out that Jesus, not Satan, made these declarations.
• Implications: Traditional religious perspectives may prevent individuals from recognizing their divine potential.

Concept of Conditioning

• Conditioning affects our behavior and decisions unconsciously.
• Example with Gina spelling "spot" and answering the question that follows highlights automatic, conditioned responses.
• Breaking conditioning requires awareness and conscious effort.

Conscious vs. Subconscious Mind

• Conscious mind: Remembers beginnings and anticipates ends; only 10% of the mind's activity.
• Subconscious mind: Never sleeps, never forgets, and stores all experiences and beliefs.
• Pain and trauma are stored in the subconscious, influencing behavior and health.

Reprogramming the Subconscious

• Current states of mind and behavior are due to deep-seated subconscious beliefs.
• Changing these beliefs requires entering within oneself (as per Jesus' teachings) and finding the key to unlock these deep-seated programs.

Practical Examples

• The subconscious mind's reaction to stimuli (e.g., smells triggering memories).
• Adverse impacts of negative conditioning on personal beliefs and potentials.

Meditation and Inner Work

• Meditation as a tool to reprogram the subconscious mind and remove negative conditioning.
• Importance of understanding oneself and removing societal and traditional fears.

Conclusion: Empowering Change

• Encouragement to take proactive steps in reprogramming the subconscious mind.
• Invite to explore deeper practices for mental and spiritual well-being.
• Future discussions on practical steps for reprogramming the mind.
