Who Taught You to Believe That? Suggestion, Conditioning, and the Stories That Control Us

Episode Companion here!In this episode of The New Ashla Podcast, Justin V. Gates and Michael Perry explore one of the most powerful questions we can ask on the path of healing, self-mastery, and spiritual awakening:Who taught you to believe that?Not every voice in your mind belongs to you. Some of the beliefs you carry about yourself, your worth, your relationships, your faith, your future, and what is possible for your life were planted before you ever had the ability to question them. A parent’s criticism, a teacher’s label, a religious warning, a cultural expectation, a painful relationship, a traumatic experience, or a fear repeated often enough can become more than a thought. It can become conditioning. It can become identity. It can become the invisible script running beneath your choices.Justin and Michael discuss how suggestion becomes conditioning, how repeated messages shape self-image, and how old stories can become the lens through which we see ourselves, other people, and reality itself. A belief can feel true simply because it is familiar, but familiarity is not the same as truth.Through the teachings of Ashla, this conversation becomes the sacred work of discernment: recognizing what has been planted within us, separating truth from conditioning, and reclaiming authority over the inner world. The Light does not reveal these old stories to shame us. It reveals them so we can become free.This episode explores inherited beliefs, family patterns, religious conditioning, cultural programming, limiting beliefs, self-worth wounds, inner agreements, shadow work, and the deeper responsibility of guarding the mind. Justin and Michael also discuss how to rewrite the inner script through awareness, truth, repetition, emotional acceptance, and right action.You cannot outgrow a story you still believe is you. But once you recognize it, question it, and begin practicing truth in its place, the old script starts to lose its power.Get the book here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/4ADHZyA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/NewAshla⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/JustinVGates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@justinvgates?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@KnightsofAwakening⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@TemplumLumis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.newashla.comKey topicsThe origin of limiting beliefs and inherited storiesThe impact of culture, religion, and media on conditioningThe importance of influence and responsibility in shaping othersTechniques for questioning and rewriting old storiesThe role of perception and discernment in personal freedomPractical exercises for self-awareness and changeThe importance of truth over popularity in beliefsThe influence of social media on role models and mentorshipsKeywordswho taught you to believe that, who planted that thought, planted thoughts, suggestion and conditioning, subconscious conditioning, inner stories, limiting beliefs, inherited beliefs, family conditioning, religious conditioning, cultural conditioning, trauma conditioning, emotional conditioning, childhood beliefs, self worth healing, identity healing, inner script, rewriting the inner script, subconscious mind, subconscious programming, negative suggestions, false beliefs, old programming, inner agreements, The Four Agreements, be impeccable with your word, New Ashla Podcast, Justin V Gates, Michael Perry, Ashla, the Light, the Force, Luminari, greater self, lesser self, self mastery, spiritual growth, emotional healing, shadow work, discernment, inner authority, spiritual psychology,
