Can we recycle a cycle of progress in our lives?

The original cycle goes back to the creation of man. Yes, we will look at the creative side of mankind and not all the other scientifically discussions that are established today. According to the word of God man was created to be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue and exercise dominance over the Earth. Why not use this original purpose towards producing ideas that are seeded with hope? As these ideas develop in our heads we share them with others by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Once these ideas are shared the message of hope is multiplying throughout the Earth. The message of hope then becomes the words of restoration that restores lives, communities and families back to their original purpose. Once this original purpose is enhanced by hope negative whispers will decrease as optimism will increase.

If we were researched fear memories it develops from the classical conditioning model these memories develop from a paring that is described as non-threatening stimulus to a conditioned stimulus, with a noxious stimulus which creates a fear memory. 

“Fear conditioning is a form of classical conditioning, the type of associative learning pioneered by Ivan Pavlov in the 1920s. It involves the repeated pairing of a non-threatening stimulus such as a light, called the conditioned stimulus, with a noxious stimulus such as a mild shock, called the unconditioned stimulus, until the animal shows a fear response not just to the shock but to the light alone, called a conditioned response.”

A present day example of a desire this desire which is non-threatening is the conditioned stimulus. The desire becomes a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response. This conditioned response centers around the curiosity of the pleasure we get from the desire. The noxious stimulus is the thing desired which serves as the unconditioned stimulus and once a response is developed this becomes a conditioned response. This conditioned response develops into a habit and the fear of leaving this conditioned response must be replaced in order for the cycle to be broken. Yes, the quote mentioned shock and elaborated on the response to the shock to the light. However, in regards to the desire the shock is eventually the desire becomes a distraction, but if we live in denial it’s hard accept that this behavior is subtracting something out of our life. At this point if subtraction is taking place then we need to replace the negative with a positive. Evidence of this fear conditioned response is noticed in alcoholics, drug addicts, sex addicts, etc. These addicts suffer from addictions but remember it all started with a desire.

“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. ¹⁵ Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. ¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren.”

James 1:16

The writer wanted to make sure that we did not err because the ultimate subtraction is out of life. In James 1 is a prime example of the fear conditioning process the lust which is the desire leads to an attraction that really is a distraction. After we follow up on this attraction curiosity leads to our disobedience or defiance from our original state which eventually leads to our demise which is death. This process develops into habits and addictions that are fueled by the negative whispers that come from the fear memory. We are held hostage and in bondage by our desires, therefore we need the Holy Spirit to do what it does which is to empower us to override the desires and become curious about acting like we were created to act. If not we continue to allow our desires to develop thoughts which are seeds that multiply into our behavior. This behavior destroys instead of restore and it subdues all the good qualities that bring peace in our life. There is no peace in our life if we are constantly regretting the choices that we are making from the negative whispers. This is why it is imperative to have the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us into all truth because now we are adding and not subtracting from a peaceful mind. This peaceful mind comes from acting in a way that adds and not subtracts from us enjoying life.

          Also, there are times when this fear memory is necessary to aide in our survival skills or remind us of unpleasant experiences that we do not need to repeat in our life.

“Much of our natural fear conditioning is to our benefit. We touch the hot stove once and learn not to try it again. However, sometimes fear becomes unmanageable, as in cases of agoraphobia, whose sufferers are afraid to venture out of their houses, or in post-traumatic stress disorder, which causes some rape victims and war veterans to experience terrible flashbacks.”http://brainconnection.brainhq.com/2005/08/26/fear-conditioning-how-the-brain-learns-about-danger/.  

The unmanageable states are where the power of the Holy Spirit comes in as an experience that can override any pattern that is trying to get us in a state where a peaceful mind is enjoyed. The Holy Spirit also reminds us of who we are and what we are not. The unmanageable states of fear are the whispers that try to convince us that we are not the ones that can subdue negativity.
