You have a few of those, yes?

So then, let's start with just understanding the nature of our biology.

Your brain is a memory bank.

It's a record of everything you've learned and experienced at this moment.

We could say that your brain is a record or an artifact of the past.

So most people, when they wake up in the morning and they start their day, new day, a brand new day where there's so many different possibilities,

The first thing they do is they get their brain working, and they start activating circuits in their brain that are connected to memories of the past.

So they activate the memories, and a memory is a record of the past.

So they think about the problems in their life, and those problems are connected to certain people and certain things and certain times and places.

And every one of those problems then has an emotion associated with them.

So if thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of your body, and how you think and how you feel creates a state of being, if you're living by familiar and same thoughts, and you're feeling the same emotions, and emotions are a record of the past, we could say that most people wake up in the morning and their entire state of being is in the past, in the familiar past.

So then,

If your biology is in the familiar past, then the next thing most people do is they start to crave the predictable future.

They start to want to create the same experiences over again because they can predict the feeling of every experience, and over time, they stay safe in the known.

So then the memories that you can call upon or recall the easiest are called long-term memories.

And the stronger the emotion you feel from some past event in your life, the more altered you feel inside of you from some external event, the moment you notice a change in your internal state, it captures all the brain's attention, and we narrow our focus on the cause, and in that moment, we freeze an image, and the brain takes a snapshot, and we begin to emboss circuitry in our brain.

And then people then recall the event, they talk about the event, they think about the event over and over again, and they're firing and wiring the same circuits in the same way, and they begin to hardwire their brain into the past.

And when they talk about their problems,

And they think about them, and they remember them.

They're combining an image with an emotion, and they start the conditioning process.
