  Now here is the critical part about the mind. Just listen to this. It's a short sentence, but it means everything in the world if you understand this. One short sentence. The function of the mind is to create coherence between what you believe and the reality you experience. Think about that. If you have a belief that you're gonna have cancer, the function of the mind is to turn the cells into cancer cells. You can create cancer just from the belief of it. If you believe that you're not worthy of love, then by definition, the behavior that you will express will reveal that you're not worthy of love, and you won't get there. So all of a sudden, you start to realize then what's happening in your life is dependent upon the mind.

  What are your thoughts in your mind? And this is where we all get screwed up, because there are two minds. To understand the nature of the most important part of the mind, I want to talk about raising an elephant in India. How do you tie up an elephant that's 12 feet tall? You tie up an elephant that's 12 feet tall to your house. When you're not looking, it'll just pull your house down. So how do you tie up an elephant? The answer is simple. When the elephant's young and it's only a couple of feet tall, you tie a big rope on its leg. And every time the elephant's not working in the field or something, you tie the elephant to a big stake. And it got this rope. Every day, the elephant gets up and says, "This rope can't get away from the rope." It kicks, it rolls on its back, it just flails out,

• 1:29Speaker 00

  trying to get away from the rope. After two months, the elephant realizes when the rope is on its leg, it can't go anywhere. It tried everything. It can't escape the rope. So after two months, guess what? It has learned now that when the rope is on its leg, it can't go anywhere. But now, this elephant is 12 feet tall. I say, "Well, how do you tie up an elephant that's that big?" And the answer is, you just tie the rope on its leg. You don't even have to tie it to a stake. You just tie the rope on. The moment the rope is on, the learned program of helplessness exceeds, and then what happens is the elephant doesn't even try to move, because it's already learned, "The rope doesn't let me move."

• 2:14Speaker 00

  So it doesn't even try. ¿Por qué es importante esto? Te lo voy a decir ahora mismo. Todos hemos sido desempoderados como ese monstruo de elefante por la programación que recibimos en los primeros años de nuestras vidas. Todos tenemos cadenas en nuestras piernas que nos fueron puesto por nuestra comunidad, nuestra familia y la programación que recibimos cuando eramos muy jóvenes. Somos tan poderosos y no tenemos fe en nuestra propia fuerza. Nos han programado para no hacerlo.

• 2:47Speaker 00

  Ahora voy a explicarlo y espero que lo haga en 33 minutos. Ahora vamos. Dos mentes. Mente consciente, mente subconsciente. Lo más importante que debes saber es esto: Nos han equivocado sobre su conectividad. Son dos mentes interdependientes. No son la misma mente. Trabajan juntos, pero están separadas y aprenden de diferentes maneras. Si no entiendes eso, entonces tu vida ha sido una lucha. Cuando entiendes que las dos mentes aprenden de manera diferente y interactúan de manera diferente, entonces comenzarás a tener el poder de recuperar el control de tus mentes. Así que empecemos con esto. La mente consciente es la última edición del cerebro. Es una mierda de tejido en tu cerebro, justo detrás de tu frente. Se llama cortejo prefrontal. ¿De acuerdo?

• 3:32Speaker 00

  Ahora, la significancia es esta. Esto es un adicional. Esta es una parte muy importante de nuestra evolución. Es interesante porque el subconsciente, por definición, representa el resto del cerebro. Si la mente consciente es este lóbulo en el frente, el resto de la masa del cerebro, el 90% del cerebro, es subconsciente. ¿De acuerdo? Pero aquí está la diferencia profunda. Si no sabías esto, este es el secreto de la vida. La mente consciente es tú. Es tu identidad, tu fuente, tu espíritu, tu singularidad. Tú estás en la mente consciente. Imagina la mente consciente, ese lóbulo de tejido con un escritorio y tú te sientas detrás de un escritorio y miras hacia las ventanas llamadas los ojos. Estás sentado allí. Eso es lo que eres.

• 4:16Speaker 00

  Número dos: la mente consciente es la mente creativa. La mente consciente es creativa. Te pregunto: ¿Qué quieres de tu vida?

• 4:26Speaker 00

  Oh, I want to be healthy. I want to have great relationships. I want a great job. I go, where do those answers come from? That's a creative answer. So by definition, it came from the conscious mind. I go, wow, so the conscious mind, guess what? It has your wishes, desires, and aspirations. Everything you want from your life is a creation from the conscious mind. Everything you wish and desire is from the conscious mind. It's also the center of positive thinking, which has got some bad vibes and bad connections, but I'll explain why, okay? In contrast, the subconscious mind doesn't have an entity in it. There's nobody there. And the subconscious mind is a record playback device.

• 5:08Speaker 00

  Record your life experiences, anything that repeats. It will remember the repeats, so you don't have to learn it every time. It's the most powerful, wonderful thing to have. A lot of people think the subconscious is the, you know, the, where all the evil and, you know, where all the bad stuff comes from. No, subconscious is fundamentally the most important thing you have. Why? If you didn't have the subconscious, you wouldn't be able to walk out of this room. You learned how to walk years ago, but once you learned, you don't have to think about it. It's automatic. If you drove your car here, you don't have to think about the details of driving after you've been driving for a while, although you didn't know how to drive when you first started. When you repeat something, you create habits. So, the subconscious mind is primarily habitual.

• 5:53Speaker 00

  Primarily habitual. Meaning, it records things and plays them back, okay? It's important to recognize that it has your instincts and your life experiences. Now, I'm going to tell you the part that blows you out of the water and where you lost all your power. You can acquire habits in the subconscious mind that you have no personal experience with because you can get it from other people, teachers, your family, your community. There are acquired programs. So, for example, a child can become a bigot without even knowing who they're bigoted against. They never even met one of these people. They just heard through their family that these people are bad. Well, they haven't even met one, but they already know they're bad. So what does that mean? They got a habit program without even seeing one of these people.

• 6:37Speaker 00

  So, many of the programs in the subconscious come through an education process. These are two different minds working together interdependently. Okay? And it becomes very critical. It's very critical when you understand how it works. Because the conscious mind is you. The subconscious mind are the programs. You have programs. You got programs. When did you get these programs? Well, here's a story about a chimp in a lab in Japan. They were teaching the mother chimp, three years. They were teaching her a computer program. And what would happen is she would activate the computer, and on the screen would come a kanji Japanese script for a color. Underneath the script was a color bar.

• 7:20Speaker 00

  And when she could accurately select the right color represented by the Japanese script, a coin comes out of the computer, and then she could go to a vending machine and get a treat. You know, fruits, nuts, or whatever she wanted. Well, during this time, there's a little baby. It's hard to see her. The little baby's head is on her chest. And the little chimp is only a few months old, can't even really walk. And the mother is going through the learning exercise. So she gets the coin one day by selecting the right color. She goes to the vending machine, leaves the infant. The infant can't even really walk. Pulls itself up to the computer, activates the computer. The script comes up. The infant selects the right color. The coin comes out. The infant grabs the coin. And the scientists are looking like,

• 8:05Speaker 00

  "Who the hell taught the chimp baby that?" Took three years to teach the mother. And they came up with an understanding that is profound. It suggests that infants pick up such skills solely by observation and don't have to be actively coached by their parents. Point? There is no difference between you and a baby chimp in your growing up part. You were programmed by just observing your parents, starting at age zero. The moment you were born, your brain was designed to observe others and learn their behavior.
