Day 68

Had a dream which involved a younger me comparing myself to others and feeling short.. didn't expect something like that to come up and wasn't aware of it until now. E3 digging deep and bringing stuff up.. hopefully I can overcome it and dissolve the negative belief.

I've been thinking about beliefs recently and how easy they are to pick up and affect someone negatively. For instance, there was a trial where a baby was exposed to a mouse and he was completely unaffected by it. Then after installing the belief in him that a mouse was something to be scared of (through observation of someone reacted to one I assume) he became scared when exposed to the mouse.

It seems to me beliefs are the software our brains run on and the subconscious regards them as itself, which would explain why the subconscious is so scared of losing them, equating it with death. It makes me appreciate how difficult it is to raise a child correctly, seen as most of us have parents and other people and ourselves who are damaged through life which we then subconsciously transfer those beliefs to our children.

EDIT: I remember back to when I was younger at school and my mom brings me aside and tells me to be good because the kids in this school and richer and effectually higher class then me. Something along those lines. Looking back why would you tell your child that, you're inferring that he's of lesser value compared to the other children there. No doubt this was a belief transfer from my mom to me which I then incorporated.
