  1. It just happened, and it'll continue to happen because that is the thing that gives me the greatest joy to know that my thoughts could have helped somebody. And what really makes it worthwhile is when you suffer and you agonize and you go through it and you finally go past it and then you say, you meet other people who are going through the same thing, it's easy to help them and it makes a big difference. And what could be more rewarding?

  2. That's right. Why am I agonizing whose right the Jews are the Christians or the Hindus or the Buddhists? The most important thing is what is the truth? So I made that my mantra, that no matter what I bid, everything I did, I used the acid test, what is the truth? So when you become so focused and looking for the truth and you read James Allen, you're going to get hooked because that's what you're looking for.

  3. And then I go talk to the rabbi and I talk to the scholar. And so you listen to one side. It sounds pretty persuasive. And then you listen to the other side. So the whole question got down to who is Jesus? Is he the Messiah or is any impostor or is he just a good guy? You know, what is he? Well, the Jews, if it isn't the Messiah, he's not the right guy and to the Christians. If you don't believe he's the Son of God, you can't be saved. So you're going back and forth. And that went on for months. And I got very troubled. So I'm sitting there. What if Jesus, the Messiah? What am I going to do? What am I going to tell my parents that I'm become a Christian? So anyway, I was just agonizing over it. And all of a sudden, a thought flashed in my mind and it said, if you want to follow the truth, you have to go wherever it leads you. That was the turning point in my life because I thought about it for a second and I thought.

  4. Yeah, but let me repeat one thing that we talked about. I agree with that. I was very fortunate to find that. But I wouldn't have found it if I wasn't ready for it. I was seeking, remember what the Bible says, seek and you shall find. Nuck, and it'll be door will be open. So if you have your consciousness, I'll give you an example what really set my life on that path. I was studying, you know, I was babing my ex-wife and she was Catholic. And so we started talking if we got married, how we're going to raise the kids. And, you know, her parents didn't want me in the family, let alone the Jew. And my parents didn't want us to raise the kids Catholic. And so I thought, you know, it's about time I learned what I really believe because I wasn't sure about any of it. So I started asking her about the Catholic Church and I thought, she says, how could they believe this?

  5. You can do the same thing with any religion, and you'll find out. So, what happened is after I studied physics, I thought, my God, these quantum physics teach the same thing that the people in the subconscious who are experts had to teach. So it all comes down together. You know, William, I think in the long term, they're not going to be any miracles. There are not going to be things we don't understand because it's all understandable in the subatomic world of quantum physics. And that's what where I see the religion and science are going to merge. They're going to find out that the people two or three thousand years ago knew more about it than we do today. We're basically relearning what they already knew. You look at the yogas, the kabbalahs, the Christians, the ancient Hebrews, you know, they all say the same thing.

  6. We talked about meditation and hypnosis and the subconscious mind and the principles of Buddhism. And then they gave me a book or they recommended a book called Intal of Physics. And what this quantum physicist explained, that from a quantum physicist,

  7. And that's what I enjoy. By the way, I was looking for this quote by William Tiller from What the Bleep PNO. He says, your consciousness influences others around you. It influenced material property. It influences your future. You are co-creating your future. Now this is one of the top quantum physicists in the country, probably in the world. Everything that's founded of thinking, but the main joy of life is not from the money because the real thing that makes you feel good is the way you feel about yourself. And if you don't feel good about yourself, you can have all the money in the world be pretty lonely person. You know what really, really got me going when I realized I had some friends that are money managers in India and they wanted to meet with me and so we got together with a friend and we talked for five hours and we never even mentioned stock market.

  8. Thing that money has a diminishing return. I'll be the first to say it's something that I worked very hard to establish to create my financial independence. Matter of fact, my goal in life wasn't to make a lot of money. My goal in life was to have enough to where I could be financially independent, where I wouldn't have to cater to people, I wouldn't have to put up with things, I wouldn't have to do things I didn't believe in, I wouldn't have to do things just for the money. That was my primary goal. So far as to start out in life, I'd say the first thing you want to do is financial independence. You want to work on your mind and your body and so forth. And you create that kind of life. And then you have the fruits of your labor. But to me, the great joy of having a lot of money is being able to help people. It doesn't affect my lifestyle, but it makes a big difference in their life. And that's a very wonderful feeling.

  9. Of people, situations, right? They feel like they're privileged. And then they get their way by buying people. And so you degrade your character by taking the wealth and abusing and using people. And I've always had a rule. If you want to really find out how somebody believes, I always tell people, the way a person treats someone who can be of no use to them is a real indication of their character. And what I look for when I go out to lunch and dinner with people, I see the way they trade the waitress or the waiter. If they say, hey, you know, I want this and get this, you know, trying to orderly thing, that tells me something about them. They might treat me well, but that doesn't mean they treat somebody well that can't be of any use to them. So it's a good indication of that. And so all of these different principles bear out the same.

  10. Of the value of I totally agree with that. Matter of fact, as I go into the different studies, like when I started studying the Bible and I studied the New Testament, I read what Christ talked about all these things. And then I go into the Old Testament and see the same thing. And then I go into Buddhism and Hinduism and they all teach the same thing. And I go into the Stoics and the Greeks and the Roman, the great philosophers. They all talked about the same thing. And so, you know, these are just general principles that throughout history people have learned is what creates successful life. And it isn't money. Matter of fact, there are studies made that the more money a person has, the more chances he has of creating faults. Number one, they get treated differently, so they become demanding.

  11. Well, you know, it's a good description, but here's how you become a maniac. You view it repeatedly over and over and over, and it isn't maniac, you have to do it. It's like an instinct. It becomes an instinct. This is the way it is. This is the right way and this is the wrong way and all of these kind of things. But let me give you, there's a guy who wrote a book called From the Perfect Business by Michael LeBeau. And he kind of summarized it pretty simple. He said, if your life is a series of thought, and it is And if you become what you think about and you will, and if you have the power of choice and you do, then it logically follows that you can create the life you want by choosing what to think about. That's the summation of it all That's the way it works. It's very simple.

  12. A shower because if I hesitate and start reading something, it delays it, and then I get late. So everything has to go according to plan. The trampoline, the shower, then the shaving, cleaning up, and then we set the goals for the day. So it's a matter of developing these kind of habits to where my trampoline habit is so strong now that it really amazes me that I almost feel guilty when I don't do it. It's kind of like when you know something is on the right way and you know it's the right way and then you swerve from that and not do it, you kind of get a little guilt feeling.

  13. Forth to harvest. That's what you sow. And what they say is never suffer an exception to occur until the new habit is securely ruined. In other words, if you're going to stop eating pie, you don't suffer one exception because the minute you suffer an exception, you get back into the habit. So you want to do it long enough to where it becomes a real habit. And I'll give you an example. I started on the trampoline 15 minutes a day and I've just picked it up as time goes by. And then the more stronger I get and the more resilient I am, I don't stop perspiring until the trampoline till about 25 to 30 minutes. Then I got to take out my sweatshirt. So I know that I've done a pretty good workout and then I go for the rest of the hour. So the first thing I do is before I even wake up, I just stumble downstairs. I get on the trampoline. I've set my timer and I get going. Now, once I'm done with that, I immediately go into the...

  14. Yeah. So the thing about it is the more you refuse to eat it, the stronger that emotion becomes. And the more you eat it, the more stronger that emotion comes. So you build your character by resisting things that you want to eliminate in your life. And character is the summation of all the good things that you have accumulated in your life. And they now...

  15. But if you cut it out, eventually the habits go down. It's a little tougher, but you stick to it. And even if you fail, you go back to it and then it lessens. But cold turkey is the single best way to cut a bad habit, okay? Now here's what William James says. The greatest thing in all education is to make our nervous system, our ally instead of our enemy. For this we must make automatic and habitual as early as possible as many useful actions as we can. So let's say somebody wants to improve their life, they set a goal, now they need to have the habits to reinforce those things, right? Because if you don't do it often enough, it doesn't work. So what you do in creating a habit is we all have choices every day. And so what happens is you get to a fork in the road, do I want to eat that pie? I want to eat

  16. Always told people my theory on breaking bad habit is you got to do it cold turkey. Because if you say I'm going to quit smoking, but I'm only going to do a few at a time, then each time you smoke the cigarette, you feel good, it gives you pleasure, that registers that you want to do it again because you're repeating it.

  17. Yes. Well, it's a number of things, but here's the thing the subconscious will believe anything you kill it, even if it isn't true. So if you're an angry person and you say, I'm a loving person, if you repeat it often enough and you start acting it out, then eventually you go subconscious and then you become beloving person. If you're an angry person and you keep on repeating that, then you become an angry bitter, a violent person. And that's what happens to people. Now, I think my feeling is that in programming your life and your beliefs and the improvement of your life, there are some things that you can do. For example, the most important thing that governs people is habits. People do things out of habit. And so if you develop good things, you develop good habit. If you develop bad things, you develop bad habits.

  19. Now, let me give you the things that it does. It defects your cardiovascular system five ways. It affects your immune system, four ways, it affects your digestive system, three ways. It creates pressure on your eyes, which affects your eyesight, creates migraines, headaches, and bone density. There are 17 things that when you have angry thoughts that affect your whole body and if that goes on for years, you can see why people are sick and bitter. Now, in the Bhava Gada Pida, which is the Hindu philosophy, here's what they say. From anger arises delusion. From delusion, loss of memory is caused. From loss of memory, discrimination facility is ruined, and from the room of discrimination he perishes. So anger can literally kill you.

  20. Well, then you create, then you repress it. Well, once it goes into repression, the more you think about it, the angry you get. The more you repeat it to yourself, just like an advertising agent, you keep on repeating it to yourself, eventually it goes subconscious, and the subconscious says, okay, he's angry. How do we get rid of it? We create indirect expression. because it creates all the chemicals that get you depressed. That's why when you go to psychiatrists, they give you these pills that'll lift you up. It's to get rid of the depression. It creates addiction compulsive behavior, alcoholism, smoking, gambling, eating disorder, sickness, and blaming others. So the anger that gets repressed means that you repeat it often enough toward those subconscious. Once it goes subconscious, it creates all kinds of problems.

  21. Don't think it was pretty most, but it was one of them. You know, it's a series of things. But here's what's interesting. The first thing that helps you is the recognition that the reason you're anger is not Rashi. That helps a little bit, okay? Then you start thinking about anger. And let me give you the best definition I've heard about how to deal with anger. Usually when people interact, they develop some anger because somebody criticizes them or something like that. So what happens if you express the anger, if you do something to upset me and you express it or I do something to upset you and you express it, then the anger goes away because you've expressed it. Doesn't matter what I do with it. You've gotten it off your chest, so to speak. But if you don't, if you repress and say, you know, I don't want to send Arnold and our relationship. So I'm just going to.

He put his head down on the disc, on his desk. I never had seen him do that. And he just started laughing. And now I'm sitting there. I felt bad. Now I'm getting a little angry that he's laughing at me, right? I said, what is so funny? He said, I'm sorry. He said, let me tell you, Arnold, this woman is one of the sweetest women in the world. She's only got one problem. Her accent is a German-Jewish accent like your mom. And I just sat there and looked at him. I was caught. It's like getting caught with your hands in the cookie jar.

  24. Voice, I got so angry and upset that the whole conversation switched to her almost hung up on her. And then I thought to myself, I don't want to ever deal with her. So then the next week I had to come in and tell him that I wasn't going to manage his IRA. And I felt kind of bad, but I even felt bad that I couldn't do it because I needed the business, you know. But it shows you how it overrules. So I said, then he goes to me like this. Oh, by the way, did you happen to talk to this?

    2023-07-23 · We Study Billionaires · RWH030: From Poverty To Power w/ Arnold Van Den Berg · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  25. Thing. The problem is that you're very angry at your mother. And I couldn't accept that at the time, you know, because of what my mother went through, even though we had our difficulties. I didn't want to come out and say I really didn't like her or I was angry at her. So he tried to convince me of that and he didn't, couldn't convince me. So one day I could always tell nonverbal communications. He'd fake his pin and he says, by the way, whenever he said that, I knew he was setting me up. So I thought, okay, here it comes. He says, by the way, I would like you to handle, would you mind handling my IRA? Well, I was just starting a business. I had very small clients, and here's a doctor who wants me to be his advisor. I was thrilled to debt. So he gave me the lady at the bank where the IRA was, and I was going to start investing it. So first thing I did, I got home and I called the lady. And the minute I heard her,

  26. She is a perfect example because Eileen is the closest to you'll ever get to anybody who's loving. Everybody that meets or loves her, she worked in an orphanage for 20 years putting on little programs every Wednesday for the kids. She loved the kids. They loved her. She's been written up on many different things. But the most important thing that I learned from Eileen is forgiveness. That's one of the things I would like to cover is there's several things that really prevent you from reaching your potential. One of them is if you have anger, the other one is if you lie, if you're not truthful. And there's many reasons for that. But getting onto the anger, I'll give you an example. Dr. Rammeljack tried to convince me that I was really angry at my mother. Okay? Because I came there for anger. So he says, well, one of the

  27. I didn't mean to what he said. What made you study 60 years of happiness? And he said in his British accent, because I was so profoundly unhappy. That was the reason. So he spent 60 years, he wrote. 40 or 50 books he studied anthropology, sociology, everything, and he came to the conclusion that the only thing that matters in a successful life is to practice love. And he said, here's the real question. What if you're not as loving of a person as you could be? What do you do? He says, you do loving things because it's not what you eat, it's not what you think, it's what you do. And by doing, you make the impression on the subconscious mind and it programs you into doing more

  29. Do good. I feel bad. That's my religion. So if I had to sum up everything In realizing, and this was my discovery, realizing that the single most important thing that you can achieve in your life is to practice love. Victor Frankl says, the salvation of man comes through love and in love. It's the greatest force in the universe. I even wrote it three or four page thing on it. And basically what I did is I quoted three people. I quoted Jesus. I quoted or the New Testament. I quoted A man by the name of his name will come to me.

  30. The unconditional love creates pure joy. And that's the secret to life. Matter of fact, here, this is written thousands of years ago. It was by Aristotle. He said, most people start off life. They want to be happy or successful. How do you do that? He said, you figure out a way you can help people, you gather all the information, you gather all the capital and all the things you need to do. And then you commit yourself to it and that is what's going to create happiness and success. And this was written over 2,000 years ago. And you know when we were talking, whether it's the Kabbalah or Hinduism or quantum physics or the study of the subconscious mind, it all comes down to the same thing. Let me tell you what Lincoln said about it. He said, when I do good, I feel good. When I don't.

  31. Even call it the helper's high when you do good and it creates dopamine in your system. They call it the helper's high. It's kind of like the runner's high. They got a high out of it by helping people. So that taught me a lesson that I need to quit thinking about myself and believe that things are going to get better. And when I had the opportunity to help somebody, I do it. And it brought me so much pleasure over the years that it almost becomes like an addiction. You want to keep doing things because you feel so good about yourself. And one of the quotes that I have, I think I mentioned to you, is they said that once giving becomes unconditional, that means you give the money because you want to help, not because you want to get recognized, not putting on a building, you know, that type of thing. But you do it to genuinely help people and you don't expect anything. You just want to do it. It creates...

  32. Better, but it has no major effect. So after a certain amount, whether you accumulate a certain amount in one sum or you increase it through earnings, at some point it has a diminishing return. Now, where I learned that as a secret from James Allen is I was going through some very tough times, but I had some good friends that were going through equally or even worse. So I said to myself, I'm going to stop this thinking about my problem. I'm going to go out and help these guys. And so I was able to help them and make a big difference in him. And the feeling I got, I can't even explain. It was almost like a spiritual experience. And I thought to myself, what happened? So now I look back and say, well, the endorphins, the adrenaline, the serotonin and dopamine set N, it's like a dopamine high, right?

  33. Oh, perfect. I would say this first of all, my theory is money has a diminishing return. When you don't have anything, it becomes an obsession to make some money and to be able to live a decent life and so on and so forth. So it's like a curve. There was a study done by a university in California where they got these people together and say, does money really make a difference in happiness? And the answer is absolutely. For example, they took people at $30,000 a year. What was their level of happiness? They do brain waves and this kind of stuff. What is it at $50,000 a year? And they determined that once a person, this is about five or seven years ago, so let's say instead of 150, it's 200,000. Once a person reaches a level of 150 to 200,000, money does not make, does not increase their happiness. They might be a more comfortable and they feel

I said, so my dad says, well, what's new about that? It's been happening every day. And he said, yeah, but I don't believe we're ever going to get out of this. And all we do is suffer every day. You know, sub-zero weather, working 12 to 14 hours a day, getting beat up. You know, he said, I'm through with it. My dad told him, if you think that way, you will not survive because the only reason we survive because we have in our mind the hope that we will see our wives and children. And that's what keeps you going. The minute you give up on that, you're done. My dad says he was shocked. He went to look for him in the morning. He was dead. He said, once you give up the belief,

  35. People don't take it at face value that if you give your subconscious a direction and a belief and you repeat it and you visualize it, it's going to happen. It's kind of like praying to God. Praying to God and asking Him, would you heal me? And if you believe it, it can happen. Matter of fact, they say prayer works better in groups where people have strong beliefs. And I'll give you an example in my dad. My dad told me he thought how powerful the mind was. He said, you know, I had a very good friend of mine in Auschwitz, and every night we'd sit around and say, if you hear anything about the radio, about the war, and everybody talk about their wife and kids and so forth. And so this went on for quite a while. And one day he came up to my dad and he said, Hugo, you know, I finally figured out what's going on. And my dad said, what's going on? He says, well, they really want to kill us all.

So what they did is they took the person, told them they were going to do this operation on their head. They shaved the head. They get them all prepared for surgery. They went through the whole thing. And then some people got the surgery and some people didn't. Well, it turns out after a while, some people got cured, but after a while they found medically that it was not possible to have the cured. So they went to this one guy who was completely cured. And they said, you know, we were wrong in our research and, you know, the surgery didn't really prove that he learned anything. He said, I don't give a damn what it is. I'm healed and I'm fine with it. And so he kept on believing it and he was healed. He never had the disease. So it's the belief system. You know, there's a...

  38. Improve on it, and he's raised because of his technique. He's raised the curate from 40 to 70 and 85% up in that range. And he said, the way he does it is he'll use a shot instead of a pill, he'll use a color instead of a white pill. He'll make a special design on it. And he creates a rigid just like the medicine man of past. They create this whole ritual and they get the person to believe in it. And once they believe in it, it works. There was one interesting thing about the placebo, by the way. It was a hip cover of a magazine. It's all in your mind. So they had this procedure that would occur some form of demention. I forgot whether it was Parkinson's or some other disease. They handed, the doctor had a technique where he'd go and drill in the brain and change something, and it seemed to heal a few people. That was his theory. So they wanted to do a test on

  39. To make sure it's real. Some people think they have a problem, but they don't. So he studied this 14 year old girl who had a terminal disease. And she went the lords and did everything and she got healed. And he said, after that experience, he knew that it was real. And what you attributed to is not what Lord's does, it's what you believe. We have a doctor. I have a doctor that I followed for 25 or 30 years, his books. I've never gone to him, but I read all of his books. I think I have five of his books. He wrote the theory about the placebo. He said, when you take the medical profession, 40% of people get healed by using the placebo. They take something that they feel will heal them. He said that it was all based on belief, right? I mean, if you have a person with a disease and then you give them a sugar pill and they get healed, then it's because of the belief. So he thought he could.

  40. My nephews and doing physical things. And in one session, the back pain that I've had for 20 years was cured in one section. That's what the subconscious can do. The minute you accept it and believe it, it becomes reality. And, you know, you read about these people who get healed overnight because they did something. Like at Lord, you go to Lord's and people get healed and some don't. So there was this one French doctor. His name escaped me. Alexis Carroll was his name. He wrote a book and he studied how people get healed at Lord's. And he said, I ain't ever going to accept it until I see it. So he told the Catholic Church that he would like to have or somebody who's going to Lord's to get examined, to get healed. And he would like to examine her and follow.

  41. Ago, maybe even longer 40. I've never had a back problem since, and I have helped people cur their back problems by similar things through Dr. Sarno. But getting back to the Jimmy within, I had an analyst call me from New York. He said, I heard one of your speeches about a subconscious. Can I ask you some question? I said, sure. So we talked for a while. And I said, you know what, Patrick? Let me do this. Let me send you the book The Ginny Within because it has a chapter addressing the thing you need to do. So three weeks later, I get a letter back from him and he said, Arnold, thank you so much for the genie within. And I want to tell you something. I've never told you you must have felt it intuitively, but I was in extreme pain. And so I took one of the chapters and I did the exercise in the first session. I went into Feta. He didn't go into Alpha. He went all the way to Feta. And he said, I pictured myself lifting weights and lifting up.

  42. And to him who knocks, it'll be open. Many times when you're reading philosophers or people who have developed patents and so forth, they'll work on something and they'll try to figure it out and nothing happens. They go away from it and all of a sudden they're doing something else and the inspiration comes and give it to it. So if you give your subconscious mind, it takes everything literally. You got to be careful. For example, if you're asking the subconscious mind for an answer what I did, as I used to have serious back problems. So I asked the subconscious and you want to do this before you go to sleep. If you ask the subconscious, you go to sleep and say, why do I have pain in my back? After a month, one day I woke up. The answer. The answer was when you get behind your work, your back goes out. The minute that happened, I knew that what it was. And this is about 35 years.

  43. Trampoline work, then I go into the shower, I take a warm shower, and then I take a cold shower. And in the cold shower, I repeat every day and every way I'm getting better and better. And I do it at least 30 to 40 times during the cold shower. And that gets me, it creates endorphins, it creates circulation. It gets you into a good mood. You feel good after the shower because you've had some endorphins running. And then you go about your work and you become more effective. So it's a matter of programming your time and your life and your thinking to the end of becoming better and better. And let me read you a biblical quote for those people who are believers in the Bible and Christians. This is what Jesus said. Ask and it will be given. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds.

  44. That's right. That's right. And I develop mantra, for example. I develop a mantra for the physical and the rule is don't sit when you can stand. Don't stand when you can walk. Don't walk when you can run. And if there are stairs, climb it. So I do that as a mantra. Now what's interesting the other day I was waiting for my wife because she's getting a root canal and I took her to the doctor and I thought I would just do some reading while I was in the car. And then all of a sudden the thought chopped in. Don't sit when you can stand and you know or run. And I thought, you know, that's right. So I got out of the car and I started walking. So I walked for 20 or 30 minutes, which I would have never done if that thing hadn't flashed in my mind.

  45. Diet and plenty of water. Mentally, it's the subconscious mind and the program and the instructions that you have given it to your goals. And then you completely repeat those and you become that.

  46. If you're bouncing, you go way down, and then you go way up, it's four times. So if you did five minutes on the trampoline, it's the equivalent of walking a mile. So it's incredibly efficient. So with all the exercises, I came to the conclusion that I do an hour of trampling work every day. I did it this morning. I don't go anywhere until I get the trampoline. So that takes care of the physical part. Then I make sure that I drink plenty of water because that's an important part of the body. More important than anybody else, but think. Matter of fact, there was a book written, you are not sick, you're thirsty. And what this guy explained is that most people don't drink enough water and they develop all these other kind of things. And then the next thing I worked on is what else can it do? And so the next thing was the subconscious mind. So physically, it's the trampoline, the proper...

  47. NASA made a study that determined to build up the physical part of the astronauts when they go out of space and they lose bone density because it's weightlessness, they developed the mini trampoline. Now you say jumping on the mini trampoline. That is the single thing. And I can tell you just to prove it that if you want to burn calorie, it's a measure of how effective the exercise is. It's 11 times jumping on the trampoline is 11 times more burns more calorie than walking. Five times more calories than swimming and three times more calories than the running. Now they concluded that it's 68% more effective than any other exercise and the reason is that they measure G4s when you're running you lift up your legs. It's one and a half times the d4ce.

  48. Get stuck in your subconscious mind. That's in the program until you erase it, it stays in there. So programming creates belief. Belief creates attitude. Attitudes creates feeling, feeling that's the most important thing. Feeling determines action and action creates results. So what you want to do is create mantra. For example, I have my philosophy is what I learned from auto mechanics is the most important thing is the tool. You have to have the knowledge, but you got to have the tool. So I tried to figure out what is the best tool I can use to improve my life. And I've searched everything. I've read all the different religions, the philosophies, the Stoics, the Greeks, the Romans, you know, wherever you introduced me to the Kabbalah, which confirms everything. So what I decided, the best thing you can do physically, better than anything else,

  49. Then you erase the inside. And you don't want to think about the disappointment. You think about the lesson. So it's a way of thinking. This is what all of James Allen's book talks about. Everything you think is an impression on your subconscious mind and it molds you into the future you are. So they're more positive you can think, the more positive things you do. And you know, here's another thing. What I was going to say is how did you become who you are and how did I become who I am? Well, it starts off, this is the way thoughts work. Programming creates beliefs, okay? So when you were born, your parents were influencing you, you didn't have a sub, you didn't have a conscious mind, you couldn't say, I don't know whether I agree with this or not. You soaked it up in your subconscious. Now, whether they were good advice or bad advice from your relatives, from the environment, whatever it is, whatever it is.

  50. Repetition is important. Key. It's the key. Now, let me give you an example. You construct your life with, let's say you want to improve yourself, okay? What most people talk about is when they suffer, they think that all they do is suffer. But what most people don't realize, it's during the suffering that you're going through the anguish and you're searching your subconscious mind and you're thinking about it and you're talking to people about it and it keeps on building up. And every time you overcome a suffering, you gain insight. Let me read you one. If you get erase all the mistakes of your past, all the mistakes in suffering, you would also erase all of the wisdom of your presence. Remember, the lesson, not the disappointment. So the key is you don't want to worry about erasing these bad things because they gave you insight. And if you erase those,
