From the time we were young, we’re taught to give the safe answer, which is often different than the right answer. We repeat what our parents say, not because we know for sure that what we repeat is right…..but because we know that repeating what we’re expected to repeat will help us receive various forms of positive reinforcement. If your Dad tells you that there’s an invisible man in the sky who spies on you better than the NSA, you’ll repeat that idea based on the need to fit in……and not because you know it’s true or not.
If you’re in school and your teacher tells you that Christopher Columbus discovered America, you’re encouraged to repeat that lie simply because you receive positive reinforcement to do so. This lesson on why we believe what we believe and how we can be easily tricked into embracing lies as truth comes in very handy when explaining self sabotage because self sabotage is basically the process by which a person tries to live out lies as truth and then continues to live out those lies, even though the only reward anyone receives for ignoring the truth is PAIN. The more lies you live, the more pain you’ll experience…..and if you’re getting your information from government and media, you will indeed drown in a tsunami of lies and pain DAILY. Your pain and dysfunction is the business plan of the groups who rule you. Knowledge is power. Power up. Power to the people.
