Stuck In Your Survival Programming? Here's What Awakens When You Exert Your Will & Do The Daily Work To Design Your Life

It was April 18, 2021.

Day 3 of an advanced meditation retreat with best-selling author and world-renowned meditation teacher Dr. Joe Dispenza.

As a master of personal change, Joe knows the path you must walk to become someone new.

Dr. Joe says, “When your will becomes greater than your program, your soul awakens.”

Let’s break it down.

For better and worse, you've been programmed by your biology, parents, friends, experiences, and much more.

A program functions like an “if-then” algorithm: If [event / stimuli / circumstance], then I [think / feel / act].

Generally speaking, your programs help you avoid a premature death in this temporal world.

But that often prevents you from awakening the timeless aspect of yourself: your soul.

See, I KNOW my soul is here to write. And to teach.

But when working on my dreams gets tough, my programming says, “Connor, this is hard. You can’t do it. Writing is frustrating. It takes too much energy. Takes too much time. This isn’t fun. Wahhhh. Quit now.”

That program exists to conserve my precious energy and keep me in the realm of the known—where things are comfortable, predictable, and safe.

Tragically, however, that program simultaneously prevents me from creating the life I want.

The first step to awakening my soul?

I become aware that a stimuli has triggered my programming, and that my consciousness is being hijacked.

Next, presence. I disinvest my energy from the program.

Then, I ask myself:

• Who am I committed to being on Planet Earth?

• What matters most to me?

Finally, I redesign my thoughts, feelings, and actions, accordingly.

It may sound easy, but here's the truth: programs carry a strong energetic charge. And it demands an ENORMOUS amount of energy to counteract and ”exit" your programs.

And it’s an emotional process—tough feelings get stirred up when you decide to exert YOUR will.

Living by design is hard work. That’s why most people default to their programs instead.

You have to dig deep!

Remember, you’ve been engraining these programs in your neural circuitry for decades.

That’s why Fredrick Nietzsche says, “My humanity is a constant self overcoming.”

You must overcome your programs, over and over again.

That is the only way your soul will awaken.

Contemplate & Reflect

Take a moment to reflect:

• How will you become aware—IN THE MOMENT—that your consciousness is being hijacked?

• Will you do the energetic work to get present and stop unconsciously repeating your history?

• How will you remind yourself in the moment about who you’ve always wanted to become?

Don’t default to the program.

It’s time to awaken your soul and design your life.

Love, Connor

P.S. In December, I am teaching meditation skills to 3 lucky souls. Using a biofeedack device to measure their state of being, they will learn how to use their heart to create "psychophysiological coherence." In other words, they will learn how to design their default state of being, and not be stuck in their programming. ant in? This program is FREE, as I am testing new curriculum, but I will be charging $777/month for this in the future. Simply reply to this email or send me a DM on Twitter to opt in! Spots are very limited.
