Our subconscious is like an eight-year-old child and this child is doing everything it can to protect us from any harm, which is good. But it doesn't advance us because it's programmed a certain way. The subconscious mind works like this; it says, "this is what I know, and I'm going to protect you."

I realized that my subconscious mind has got the directives that have come from my past, whatever they could be, they could have come from my parents, could have come from my teachers, or come from the other people around me, things that I've watched. There are many things that those directives could have come from.
