The Poverty Programming Trap

The Poverty Programming Trap

You’re about to discover the poverty programming that’s kept you stuck like Chuck in a pickup truck. Make sure you watch this entire video. You know what’s really interesting? People will never behave consistently in a way that’s inconsistent with their programming. I said that too fast. People will never behave consistently in a way that’s inconsistent with their program. In fact, your programming runs on your subconscious mind.

So let’s pretend for a minute that your mind is a supercomputer. Get it? Let’s pretend. Okay, so let’s pretend for a minute that your mind is a supercomputer, and you’ve got your subconscious mind and you’ve got your conscious mind. In a computer, you have to have an operating system. What is an operating system? An operating system is the main software of a computer that tells that computer what other software programs it can and cannot run.

The problem with our supercomputer of our mind is most of us did not choose our operating system. The cultural hypnotic societal mechanism chose that for us. And the cultural hypnotic societal mechanism, which includes the schools we went to, the churches we’ve gone to, our parents, our neighbors, our siblings, our friends, our co-workers, our bosses, our employees, the media, the government, all of it, has programmed us with what I call a failure operating system.

And if you put a failure program in a computer with a failure operating system, it can run that program. But guess what? If you put success software in a computer that’s programmed with a failure operating system, all you’re going to get is an error message. By the way, that’s why so many people, when they hear some truth about wealth, they have to resist it because their subconscious programming won’t allow them to run that program.

So, success and failure both operate on the, from the sub, are produced from the subconscious mind, or what I like to call the automatic, automatic mind. I like to call our subconscious our automatic mind, and our conscious mind our manual mind. All of the results, like 90% of the results in your life, are produced by your automatic mind, which means you’re not even aware of it. It’s running below the surface. It’s happening automatically, and you don’t even see it.

But here’s what’s interesting. Other people who are not programmed like you can see your programming. How many are picking up what I’m putting down? And see, what happens is, what happens is when we hear some truth, it’s unfamiliar to us, the first thing we do is we resist it because, well, that can’t be true because that doesn’t go along with my paradigm. Because people will never behave consistently in a way that’s inconsistent with their programming.

But here’s what’s interesting. I don’t know if y’all can remember back in the 80s, late 80s, when you get, you’d have like the 8086 computer and the 8088s, and you have the floppy drives, and like, and like they came out with a new software system for the computer, came out with a new, um, the new operating system. You had to uninstall the old operating system, which usually took a couple of hours, and then you had to keep putting these floppy disks in and taking one out, putting one in, taking one out, putting one, and it took a long time to reprogram the, so the, the operating system that computer. Does anybody remember those days? Okay, we’ve got a couple of us are old enough to remember those days.

Uninstalling the Failure Operating System

You have to uninstall this operating system, and then I’m gonna have to set an alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and keep on putting these discs in so I could use my computer tomorrow. Well, the same way it took a long time back then to uninstall an operating system and reinstall a new one, it takes a long time for most people to uninstall their failure operating system and install a success operating system. That’s why you have to stay plugged into information and content that is reprogramming you because eventually, here’s what’s going to happen, I promise you.

You see, somebody, how many of y’all notice that when you see someone who’s really, really good at something, they’re really, really good, they make something so complex look effortless. Like Michael Jordan was so much better than everybody else when he was in the NBA, when he played basketball, he made it look effortless. Tiger Woods made making birdies and eagles look like he was playing with a child’s toy. Why? Because they had a totally different operating system going.

But see, operating systems don’t just affect us in sports, they affect us in every aspect of our lives. They affect us in our finances, they affect us in our businesses. And what happens is, we resist because it’s uncomfortable to uninstall that old programming. You know why it’s uncomfortable? Because Grandmama gave it to me, it’s uncomfortable because Mama gave it to me, because daddy gave it to me, because my uncle, my Uncle Sam gave it to me, and my Susie gave it to you, and so I don’t want to take out, my favorite teacher gave it to me, and my pastor gave it to me, and the Deacon gave it to me.

And we have all of this programming that’s not serving us and not giving us the ability to serve anybody else. But guess what? Did you ever notice that people who are failing, like miserably, they like make that look effortless? No, I’m not, I’m not trying to be funny. They’re not saying, “I’m just gonna wake up and mess up my life today.” It’s just all the moves they do that day just mess up the whole day. Why? It’s their programming.

And now watch this, this poverty programming, like you have been programmed to be broke. The cultural, the cultural hypnotic societal mechanism has programmed you to be sick, broke, misinformed, and fearful. And guess what, as long as you are running this program, you’re going to be sick, broke, misinformed, and fearful, either one of those things or all of those things.

Why do, why does the cultural hypnotic societal mechanism want us sick, broke, misinformed, and fearful? Because people who are sick, broke, misinformed, and fearful are easier to control than people who are healthy, wealthy, well-informed, and courageous. And so what we have to do is we have to recognize the program, but see, we have to recognize where it comes from.

Do you understand, every time the politicians lie to you and tell you they’re going to end income inequality, how do you know they’re lying? Because they can’t end income inequality because income doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s a result of something. What’s the result of? It’s a result of value that’s created for somebody other than you. So until you eliminate value creation inequality, you can’t eliminate income inequality. They’re lying.

The government wants you to think that businesses that are successful are successful because the owners of those businesses are evil. But the reality is, the promoter of that message is the one that’s evil. Now, there are some businesses that are evil. I’m not saying there are no businesses. There are some businesses that where the owners have equal intention, but that’s not generally the nature of business.

The media, the movies, like so, I don’t, I don’t, I’m not crazy about movies, but the movies that I hate the most, superhero movies. I can’t stand them. They’re so terrible. They have programmed so many people to be broke. Say, what do you mean? Like, you never even thought about that before, right? See, their pro, they started programming you when you were a little kid. Anybody remember this guy named, uh, Superman, right? Superman, you remember who he was, right? He was an adopted Poor Little Orphan from another planet. Who was his arch enemy? Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor, what was he? Multi-millionaire.

Subconsciously, they don’t have, see, see, do you understand that every time a story is being told, it’s being told on two levels? There’s the covert story, that’s the part that talks to your head. It’s only there to distract you. And the overt story, that’s the part that talks to your heart. It’s there to program you. Oh, okay, what about Spider-Man? Oh, another little poor little orphan raised by his aunt and uncle. Oh, who’s his arch enemy? Oh, that’s right, the Green Goblin. He wasn’t a multi-millionaire, he was a multi-billionaire. They’re always associating wealth with evil.

And I know what you’re thinking. See, I…

Superheroes and Wealth Perception

I already know what you’re thinking because I’m a mind reader. You’re thinking, “But Batman was rich.” How many y’all were thinking that? See, I knew it. I knew you were thinking. I knew. See, you got to get up early in the morning; you’re gonna catch me on that one. You’re right, Batman was rich, but he’s the only superhero with no superpowers. [Applause] Now, which one would you rather do, have a cool car or just fly? Okay, I’m not, I can’t even go there yet. That’s a, I can’t go there yet, but I will, I will, I’ll touch on it since you brought it up. Okay, uh, just be ready.

So, I know the other thing you’re thinking. Yeah, but Iron Man is rich, don’t you? I’m reading your mind. I already told you. But watch this, Iron Man is a narcissistic jerk who takes advantage and walks of everybody and walks on everybody. So if they make a superhero that’s rich, they always giving me, give them an undesirable character trait.

What about the Black Panther? See, here’s what the enemy did with the Black Panther. Black people, we felt so disenfranchised that unfortunately, far too many of us, just because something’s black, we want to go with it. See, here’s the problem I had with Black Panther. They were literally in the movie teaching ancestor worship. Ancestor was worship, my dead ancestors, for God’s the one that made him. I think I’m gonna worship Him. Black Panther was cool, he was rich, he was cool, he was smart, he could fight, he did all that, but they had to throw that answer because the enemy is always trying to trip us up, and he’ll use whatever method necessary, whatever method possible.

See, I’m going to tell you something while I’m on this subject. Our primary identifying factor should not be our color, and it should not be our gender, it should not be our educational level, it should not be the amount of money that we have, it should not be an association that we’re a part of, it should not be our fraternity, it should not be our neighborhood, it should not be our country club. Our primary identifying factor of our lives should be the fact that we are redeemed by the blood of the lamb. And if that’s not first, you got the wrong thing in first place.

I am not black first, by the way. Martin Luther King dreamed of a day when a man would no longer be judged by the color of his skin but by the content of his character. And now we want to be judged, we just want to judge things by the color of the skin. Do you understand, every time you go along with something that’s as a black person, every time we go along something with something that’s black and whack, we’re just doing what the oppressors of our ancestors, we’re agreeing with the oppressors of our ancestors, the most important thing about us is the color of our skin. It’s not.

I personally like being a brother, you know what I’m saying? I like my brother swag, you know what I’m saying? I like it, but guess what, but guess what, if I was white, I would enjoy that just as much because, watch this, I am made exactly the way God desired me to be, and I’m not in competition with anybody. So I can celebrate you, and it don’t take anything from me, and I can celebrate me, and don’t take anything from you. If you think me celebrating me takes something from you, I’m not the one with the problem. And if I think that you celebrating you was taking something from me, I’m the one with the problem.

James, the brother of the Lord, he wrote a book in the New Testament called James. This name was really Yaakov, which is Jacob, but King James, and they changed it to James, and it’s not James. But anyway, James, the brother of Jesus, um, here’s what he said. He didn’t say James, the brother of the Lord. He didn’t say James, the senior pastor at the Church of Jerusalem. He didn’t say Reverend James, the senior pastor, the Church of Jerusalem. Here’s what he said, “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.” That was his primary identifying factor. And if it’s good enough for the half-brother of the Lord, who’s a senior pastor at the Church of Jerusalem, it’s good enough for me for it to be my primary identifying factor.

You have been, we have been programmed by the government, by the media. Do you realize that Hollywood started waging war on business in the 1970s? We didn’t even see it. By the time the average American turns 18 years of age, they’ve seen 10,000 people murdered on television and movies by business people and entrepreneurs. They’ve seen more people murdered on television by entrepreneurs and business people than even more than even career criminals. No wonder people don’t want to be going to business. All they want to do is save the planet. They’ve been programmed.

But let me say this, you weren’t born with any ideas. All of the beliefs you have, somebody, you got them from somewhere. So you might want to check the source before you start running…

Reprogramming for Success

You’ve got to understand that the results my life is producing are automatic, and if I want to produce different results, I have to reprogram my automatic mind. I have to be intentional and aware. I have to be aware of where this is coming from. I know from Genesis chapter one, there are four levels of value. The lowest level is implementation, using your muscles. I’m not gonna do it that way. Use your muscles over time. That’s the resource you use to make money. This is why you’re broke. What do I mean by that? Wealth is a spiritual result. Wealth is spiritual. It is not physical in its nature; it is spiritual in its nature. It’s spiritual in its nature because money that you have can be in more than one place at a time. Only spiritual things can be in more than one place at a time.

The thing that gives money its value, there’s nothing backing the money I have in my pocket. The thing that makes it valuable is the message that it carries. A hundred-dollar bill is more valuable than a penny, even though the material the penny is made out of is worth more than the material the hundred-dollar bill is made out of. So if money were material, a penny would be worth more than a hundred-dollar bill, but a hundred bill is worth ten thousand times more. Why? Because on a penny, it says one cent, which means one percent of one dollar. On a hundred bill, it says one hundred dollars, which means one hundred times one dollar. So the message that it carries is the thing that makes it valuable. But watch this, the other reason it’s valuable is because we believe it’s valuable. So the two things that make money valuable are the message that it carries and the faith that it creates. Language is spiritual, and faith is spiritual. Wealth is a spiritual outcome.

But muscles are a physical resource. Time is a limited resource. We’re multiplying a physical resource times a limited resource and attempting to produce an unlimited spiritual result. No wonder you’re broke. The second level is unification. On that level, we use our management skills to make money. We’re not broke; you might make anywhere from forty thousand to two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year. But if a company’s paying you 250,000 a year, here’s what they want you to know: they own you. They don’t care about your child’s recital, your grandfather on his deathbed, nothing.

What’s the next level above that? The dotted line is where wealth begins to be created. This is communication. It’s the second highest level of value. The highest level of value is imagination. Most likely, your income on the communication level is going to be somewhere between 100K a year if you sell cars, and it might be 100 million a year if you’re an A-list actor or an A-list singer, or maybe you write songs or movies. Communication, imagination, these are people who come up with the best idea. The resource you use here is your mouth; you got to have a mouth, you got to learn how to use it. Pretty much everybody here qualifies for the first part. Now you got to start working on the second part. And then your mind, the resource you use up here for imagination, or your mind and your money to make money. When you do that, this will take your life to a whole nother level.

But you’ve been programmed. You’ve been programmed to stay down here or to work real hard and get a degree so you can move up here. And this, you don’t even value it. Do you realize, in business school, they don’t even teach you how to sell? You go to school for six or eight years to learn how to be a lawyer. They teach you how to practice all this law; they don’t teach you how to get any clients to practice law for. You go to school for eight to twenty years to learn how to be a doctor, and they teach you how to work on the human body. They don’t teach you how to get the human bodies to work on. We’ve been programmed to be broke, and poverty programming is costing you a fortune.

That’s why I always say, if you’re broke, if you make less than fifty thousand dollars a month, you can’t afford to be watching television. You need to be using that time to read some books, to learn a new skill. You want to, but don’t you want to see them? I don’t want to see them; I want to be them. I want somebody watching me live my life on TV. Okay, I’m done. So that’s how people are programmed to be broke for the rest of their life. Don’t let the cultural…

Overcoming Societal Programming

…hypnotic societal mechanism program you to be broke, because your family deserves better than that. God bless you. Like, like, subscribe, share, all the rest of that YouTube stuff that y’all do, and we gotta, I gotta go. Peace out, Cub Scouts.
