The common denominator and cause for most behavioral issues is LOCKED IDEAS! LOCKED IDEAS are only known to your SUBCONSCIOUS mind – the Elephant.
Your conscious mind – the Rider – is not aware of these locked ideas.
Locked ideas are primarily formed in childhood or as a result of trauma. Simple examples of a locked idea are:
Our mind is designed to store previous experiences and the emotional response as known experiences. Something it has encountered before will then become “familiar” to it. The more often the experience is encountered, the stronger the locked idea. So every time you encounter the “trigger” situation, the subconscious mind automatically invokes the familiar response and the locked idea becomes even more familiar and even more locked!
The main reason why most “life changing programs” have little or no effect is that they do not go to the root of the problem, the locked idea.
