THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO
BECOMING LOVE

WHY TAME YOUR MIND?

Because you can’t BECOME LOVE until you tame your mind.

Imagine your mind is a computer. Your mind/computer runs on "old code." Code tells computers what to do. Our old code tells us what to do.

Old code is our unconscious thoughts and actions, it’s our automatic responses we pick up after getting emotionally hurt and we continue to act out these responses unknowingly whether we want to or not.

For example: You like a person but they like someone else, so you feel jealous of that someone else, you resent the person you like, you get angry with yourself, and you overeat. Unconsciously expressing jealousy, resentment, anger, and compulsive behaviour—that's old code. Or, you have a job interview and you’re so nervous that you can barely speak. Uncontrollable anxiety, that’s old code. And the source of all violence is old code, too. Old code causes us suffering.

This is how old code works: First, our ego gets hurt, and in response we feel an emotion like anger, envy or fear. Then, we express that emotion automatically through unconscious thoughts and actions. We become impatient, resentful, ungrateful, judgemental. Old code is the automatic and unconscious expression of emotion.

If you could decide that even though your mind is angry, envious or fearful there’s no reason to express anger, envy or fear, and instead choose to express patience, forgiveness, gratitude and compassion—you’d always be at peace. You can do that if you tame your mind. Taming your mind ends suffering.
Your specific old code responses are influenced by your DNA, parents, friends, culture, media, emotional pain and trauma. But ultimately, your old code is written and sustained by your ego.

Until you tame your mind, your ego controls your mind.

And your ego loves old code.
