"All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it’s costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.”
Big feelings are the foundation of internal, self-limiting, childhood belief systems, and unresolved feelings are the glue that keeps those beliefs in place, inside of us. Expressing and dealing with our feelings brings those beliefs into our consciousness and allows them to change.

If things were so easy, then they were not much different from stoneage teachings, to just beat the life out of someone else and take over the stage. It is why half the world stems from Genghis Khan. He conquered his enemies, slaughtered the men and had children with all of their wives.
The associations are not ill conceived by definition. When they signal something, it is not okay to simply kill the messenger-neurons and replace them for a ‘hail-me’ message. That is what I don’t understand about Robbins’ prophecies.
