Then the neuropeptides, our bodies are so smart. The neuropeptides will stay in the body. The body will actually store the neuropeptides, and this is where it gets really interesting, in the organs, tissues, and glands that we associate with our trauma. And everyone has trauma. And everyone's trying your trauma. You might have a trauma. And I look at it and say, what's the big deal?

Because my filters interpret it differently. Or I would have a trauma and and you would look at it and say, come on, Greg, you know, suck it up and get over it because your filters are different. But we all have trauma and it's personalized. And those neuropeptides will stay with us 10 minutes or 70 years until we have the tools to resolve the the trauma.

Sometimes they'll give you a little nudge to let you know they're still there. It might be a little irritation, might be a rash on the body or inflammation or swelling. And we will take a pill or put on a cream to make the symptom go away. But that neuropeptide is still there. And then they'll say, well, maybe you need a little bit more.

a little bit more of a nudge, and then we start developing symptoms of things that we call illness and disease. This is so fascinating to me because the science is showing us rarely do our bodies break. Rarely do we have illness and disease. in the way we think we have it.

What we are experiencing is our body in the presence of the conditions, the epigenetic conditions that we've given it to work with. It can be nutrition, it can be environment, and the most powerful environment is the emotional environment. Over 90% is the emotional environment. So rather than saying our bodies are broken,

which ruins the trust that we have in our bodies, it's useful to say, what am I giving my body to work with? What is the environment, the emotion? And sometimes the emotional environment is a subconscious. In my case, it was subconscious. I had a subconscious fear of not being safe.

Well, it makes sense because the first seven years averaged first seven years of a human life, we are in an altered state of consciousness. It's actually called a hypnagogic state is the term that psychologists use where we have very few of any filters. We are absorbing behavior patterns from our caregivers. This is nature's way of preparing us for life.

Nature believes that we're going to be in the same environment that our parents are So we learned from our parents how to deal with conflict and how to treat people that you like and how to treat people you don't like. We mimic them. We do. Consciously and subconsciously. Consciously, those are the programs up until the age of seven. The Jesuits knew this.

Maybe you've had other speakers talk about this. They would say, give us your sons, because it was a male organization. Give us your sons until the age of seven and they'll be ours forever. Wow. So what they meant, give them to us for this first seven years.

They can go home to you, but they won't want to because they will be indoctrinated into the patterns of the Jesuits and their home life will no longer make sense. That's an example of how powerful those first seven years of life are. It's the programming, right? It's the programming. So the neuropeptides can stay in the body forever. as long as they need to.
