THE VIBRANT 8
Programs & Paradigms
Hello, France, crystal here, your fiber BF. How are we feeling? We are halfway through 20, 24. Now, technically you remember the new energetic year starts with the spring Equinox, but for the sake of. They go Gorian calendar that many of us operate on. Happy halfway through 20, 24. How has it been treating you? How are you feeling? I'm sure. Most of you probably are pretty hard on yourself. You're feeling like maybe you're not where you're supposed to be. Which again, who said. And you, and maybe not doing the things you thought you'd be doing or how the things you might, and there may be some of you who are like, wow, this year has been incredible. It's better than I could imagine. But I would be pretty safe in saying most of you are probably feeling. Behind or lacking in some sort of way. But I'm here to tell you it's a lie. And we are going to be talking about our programs and paradigms, because that's really what it's all about, how we perceive things is what becomes our reality. Let's get started. So Abraham Hicks says a belief is just a thought that you keep thinking. What. Do you keep thinking about. Most of the time it's, what's programmed into your subconscious. So what are your programs? Because remember your programs and your paradigms, your perceptions is what becomes your reality. So, this is where we're going to break it down. We first have to understand that most of our programming, most of our beliefs are formed by the time we are eight. Yes. You heard me right. Eight. And here's another part. These programs will stay with us until we reprogram in something else. This is huge. If you've been programmed good, bad, indifferent, whatever it may be until you replace it with another belief, another thought another programming. You will continue to run through the same patterns. Which of course you're going to keep believing and perceiving and living in your programs and your paradigms, which will become your reality because that will be your perception. I know, I know many of you are thinking, wow, it just sounds so easy. So simple. And guess what it really is. The problem is as humans, we make things so much more complicated and to be fair, we are technically. Embedded with a lower vibration self-preservation reptilian brain, which is, you know, our sympathetic nervous system to keep us safe, to keep us safe. Don't die, don't die. And so everything is fear-based and, oh my gosh, we can't do that. And we can't do this. And anything. Unknown makes us unsure and makes us nervous and makes us scared. And some people more than others, but that's kind of our default setting is to worry and to fear. But it really is as simple as changing. Our beliefs changing our programmings, which will change our paradigms. Also with that, the longer that we stay in these programs. They become deeper and deeper embedded into our psyche. So let's use religion for an example, if you grew up in a very. Uber religious home. And this is from ages zero to seven, zero to eight. That is really the core of your foundation. Your thoughts, how you govern, how you see the world is through these lenses, through these programs, through these paradigms. And as you continually grow and expand, and depending where you go, if you stay in your same town and continue to go to the same church and see the same people. They're just going to be further embedded into that belief. Now, I'm not saying that's good or bad. I'm just saying it's a very limited, very linear, very deeply ingrained, rooted thought process. Now say for example, You are raised in this particular environment, but then you start to break out of what is quote unquote, the norm. You maybe travel. You leave not just outta your city, but your state, maybe even the country. And you start meeting other people who have completely different upbringings, completely different programmings, completely different paradigms. This is going to do one of two things. It's either going to start breaking you out of your very linear way of thinking. Out of your boxes or it could further. And bet the men, especially if you're like, I gotta get connected back into. People that think like me and that maybe look like me and do the things that I do to further embed, to further ingrained, to further solidify that this is how life should be done. This is why there are so many religions in the world. But we have to understand that there are multiple paths in this life. We live in an abundant universe. We live in an infinite universe and there are. Infinite ways to live this life. And to say that this is the only way, and this is the right way. And this is the well, it's a very linear way. Uh, very. Archaic in a way, to think, because how can you say that your God is the only God. When the other person says, no, no, no one the way I was raised, my God is the only cotton it's like, how are there so many different gods? Uh, the fact of the matter is whatever your beliefs may be. That is your beliefs. Your perception is your reality. I'm not saying one way or the other, that is for you and your path and your journey to take or not to take all I'm doing is bringing into the light. That understanding what your programs are as what's going to dictate the paradigms and the lenses and the perceptions and the reality that you live. So for example, if you were raised in Western culture, I'm from the U S even though I've traveled and lived outside of the country, many times, That is a lot of my core belief, foundational teachings and thought process is of a black woman in America. So my beliefs and thoughts and paradigms is a lot different than say someone who was born and raised in South Sudan. Or someone who was born and raised in Kenya. Or someone who was born and raised in India. You get the picture. But the fact of the matter is we all have to understand that we are all coming in from our level of knowledge. We're all coming in with what we think to be right or moral or wrong or good or bad. But when we can start to understand and open ourselves up to. What else is there and what if. And getting curious versus closing out anything that doesn't fit into our programmed. It allows us to start to see different paradigms, which will open us up and to new realities. Another wonderful thing to think about with expanding your mindset and opening up your subconscious and checking in with these embedded beliefs and getting curious on, does this feel aligned? And here's another part. different seasons are going to pull out different things in us. You always have the possibility to pivot or to pause. Or to. Reroute. You are able to change your mind. And you were able to change your thoughts and you are able to change your beliefs. And you're able to reprogram and things that feel very aligned to you in your particular season. One of the things that we can do as humans is to lean into our joy. Again, another simple concept. So we have. The siding to get curious, to check in, to see what are the programs that are creating our paradigms. And rewiring them to what feels aligned to us and what has been shown to us as we get curious and this life. And as we grow and expand into our higher consciousness and we allow for more abundance and we allow for elevated vibration elevated frequencies, that will put us into spaces in places that we really desire. And then we start to lean into our joy. What lights us up, what excites us now? It's not always great, wonderful choices that are presented before us or paths. But we can still lean into one that brings us even a little bit more excitement or a little bit more joy. To take that path and understanding that whatever path you're on, whatever journey you're in. You're right where you need to be. You're not lost. You're not behind. You are right where you need to be for that moment and this is where a lot of us can get caught up is that we start to judge where we are in life because of our programming, because of what we are believing. To think about ourselves. I'm 35 and I should have a house I'm 40 and I should be married. I'm whatever. Fill in the blank I should, should, would have, could have because of my programs, because of my upbringing, because of my narrative, because of my perceptions. This is what I believe. And this is what I keep focusing on, which further drives in the fact that I am behind that I did do something wrong that I'm not where I'm supposed to be. Now, if you feel like you're not where you want to be. Change it. But supposed to be, that is a belief that is a paradigm that you're projecting into your own life. What if you start seeing wherever you are. As temporary because the one constant in this life is change. And start focusing on what does bring you joy in your current space? What does let you up? What is working out? Gratitude bridges the gap into abundance. That's what puts us into higher vibrations, higher frequencies. So even if you don't necessarily like where you are, Whether it be mind, body or spirit, you have the power to change. Change the programming and your programming is going to, again, dictate your paradigms and your paradigms is going to shift when you start shifting into a new reality. But this reality won't come until you decide to get curious until you decide to lean into the joy. it's the little steps that causes the big shifts into your higher consciousness, into your highest. Timeline into your highest frequency, because if you can believe it. Then you can receive it. It really is that simple. We just keep learning these beliefs and thought patterns come in and Seamus, or keep us out of our alignment of what it is. We are believing, desiring and knowing. That is available to us. And the only reason we're not living in these current paradigms, these current realities. Is because of these patterns and these programs that are keeping us looping. And what doesn't align to our highest selves. Now, this is not some toxic positivity. This is just think it, be it. See it, do it. I absolutely understand the nuances of our flesh suits that we have and our subconscious programming and our minds. And. Our physical bodies, our emotional bodies, our spirit bodies. I understand all these dynamics and I'm not by any means. Negating that I'm not by any means. Negating the realities of our current world. And most of the world is literally on fire. There is so much corruption, so much unrest. Heartbreak, sadness. That is happening worldwide right now. That it can be challenging to stay in. Higher frequencies or thought processes. When you see children dying, when you see governments collapsing, when you see people. Barely living. If at all. But we still get to choose even in this. Reality, even. In our 3d, we still get to choose what it is. We focus on. We want to be aware of what's going on in the world, but we also need duality in all things there's a flip side to every coin. So we have to decide what it is that we want to focus on. Yes, there's unjust. Yes, there is unrest. Yes. There is evil. Yes. There's corruption. Yes. There is downfalls happening all over. But we still get to choose that. Yes, I'm going to choose to be loved today. I'm still going to choose joy. I'm going to focus on the things that I can focus on. I'm going to speak truth. I'm going to help brace the consciousness by raising my own consciousness. I'm going to understand that though, this physical may be in a lower vibration. I know that the 3d is not where it ends. I know that again, that we live in an infinite universe and that there. There are multiple planets and there's multiple energies and vibrations. And I also understand that energy doesn't die, that it can be transmuted. So I'm going to take these low vibrations and transmute them into hope and into love. These are choices that we get to make, even in the midst of chaos, even in the midst of destruction, even in the midst of sadness, we could always choose our thoughts. And this is where the work comes in. This is where we have to show up in those days that we really don't feel like showing up and allowing yourself space. Living in our full humanness it's going to have times where we are in our anger when we are in sadness, where we are. And heartbreak where we are morning, whatever it may be. That's not bad. That is part of our human existence. That is part of our human experience, but we also get to understand that on the other side of the shame is joy. And on the other side of sadness is happiness. And on the side of corruption Is justice. We get to understand that there's duality in all things. And hold space for that. And that's coming from creating resilience and our nervous system because we've gotten curious with our programmings, what we believe, And we understand that there are multiple routes things that we maybe not even exposed to yet. And when we open ourselves up to expand, it will allow for newer ways of thinking. Possibly new ideas, possibly new ways to share whatever that may be for each of us. So let's do a quick recap. The first thing we want to do is get curious about our programs. What are you thinking over and over and over again? If you believe that you are behind your subconscious will never make a liar out of you. And it will confirm and give you verification that you are in fact behind or wrong or dumb or whatever. It may be of a lower vibration. Now, if you believe that everything is always working out in your favor and that you are going to choose to live in your highest expression and that everything does work out for you. And that you're so grateful for what you have while you are on route to even more expansion again, your subconscious will not make a liar. Liar out of you and we'll start to give you verifications that is in fact, your reality. And that is in fact, your paradigm, and then you're going to continually choose things that light you up. What brings you joy? What excites you? What is your piece to this grand puzzle? What is your light? Allowing your light to shine, to be the spark, even in the midst of darkness. And truly believing what you think and what you believe is what will become. What your programs and your paradigms are, is what's going to create your perception and your perception is what creates your reality. Make it a beautiful reality. Because you have the power to create any life you want. Thank you so much for listening to today's episode. I hope you were able to take something away that you can apply to your life and ingrain and embed into your new psyche, into your subconscious and start to live out each and every day.
