 We live
                   in a world where everyone has been given the divine right and the potential to be blessed
                   abundantly with freedom, happiness, health/longevity and prosperity. But, it isn't happening
                   because, for the love of money, man has undermined God. 
                  We have been unconsciously programmed and conditioned to think and believe in a
                   way that limits our potential. The side effects of this mental programming are the health,
                   relationship, and money issues that we are experiencing throughout the world today.   Realize that we live in a system that was set up by the super rich (elite), of
                   the super rich (elite) and for the super rich (elite). Proverbs 22:7 says that "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the
                   lender." To say this in a more accurate way, the super rich (elite) rules over the rich, the
                   middle class and the poor.   The system is designed to program and condition you to think a certain way that
                   limits your belief, awareness, consciousness and understanding of your spiritual nature, e.g.,
                   emotional, physical and financial potential, for self-serving reasons.   Programming and conditioning of your mind is the cause of your perspective
                   (views on life), which causes your attitude, actions/behaviors (choices) and results. Here is a
                   story to help you understand the power of programming the mind.   In 
                   
                India, elephants are used for moving and lifting extremely heavy objects. On a work site when the
                elephants aren't working, the handlers needed a way to restrain them. An enclosure with three-foot thick concrete walls will restrain a full-grown, nine-thousand-pound
                elephant, but it's expensive and not portable.
   Here's what the handlers came up with to solve that problem. They discovered
                   that they could program and condition the elephant while he's still young, by imprinting
                   self-imposed limits into his thinking and he'd restrain himself, without an enclosure.   Here's how they did it:   When the elephant is small, weighing less than 200 pounds, they tie him to a
                   tree with a heavy rope, giving him about six feet of slack. All day the elephant tugs at the
                   rope, whines and squeals, he spins in circles and even attempts to chew it. But he can't break
                   free. Eventually the elephant resigns himself to the fact that he can't get loose, he lies down
                   on the ground exhausted and gives up.   This belief that the rope limits him is imprinted in his brain and mind. He is
                   now programmed to know his limits. With the program in place, the trainer can take a thinner
                   rope and tie him to a smaller tree. When the elephant is full-grown, possessing the power of a
                   bulldozer, a small rope tied to a wooden stake in the ground is enough to restrain him.   In reality, the elephant is capable of breaking free from the stake at any time,
                   but in his mind he is unaware of it, so he settles on believing that he is incapable of breaking
                   free and doesn't even try.   The point I'm trying to make with this story is that we all have been programmed
                   and conditioned by the system, to believe things about God and life and our potential that are
                   not true. In other words, we have been programmed and conditioned with mental shackles that are
                   limiting our happiness, success and/ or prosperity in life.   If you aren't aware of your potential, the system can control you and, you
                   become a servant of the system. But when you grow in awareness, you free yourself from its
                   mental control and dictatorship. I know that this may seem far-fetched and crazy, and it may
                   offend your allegiance and patriotism, but this is the truth. 
                   
                John 8:32 says "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth
                shall make you free."
