Together, we can change lives!Retraining Your Subconscious MindMastering the Power of Auto-Suggestion Have you ever wondered why certain habits, patterns, and beliefs seem to control your life no matter how hard you try to change them? In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the science and spirituality of the subconscious mind. Antonio reveals that the real battleground for change isn't just in your conscious efforts but in your auto-suggestion—the filter that decides what gets stored in your subconscious.Through personal stories, humor, and transformational insights, we uncover how three core factors influence your subconscious programming:The story you tell yourself and others – How your internal and external narratives shape your reality.Your limiting beliefs – The unseen barriers holding you back from achieving success.Your fear of consequences and judgments – The subconscious resistance that prevents you from stepping into your full potential.By understanding these factors, you'll learn how to take control of your subconscious mind, rewrite your narrative, and manifest the life you truly desire. This episode isn't just about motivation—it's a blueprint for lasting transformation.To contact Antonio T. Smith Jr.https://www.facebook.com/theatsjrhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Antonio-T.-Smith-Jr/author/B00M3MPVJ8https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniotsmithjrhttps://antoniotsmithjr.comhttps://www.instagram.com/theatsjrKey TakeawaysUnderstanding the Subconscious MindYour subconscious doesn't think, reason, or analyze—it only acts based on the programming it receives.Your subconscious is responsible for 95% of your daily actions, thoughts, and decisions.The key to success isn't just positive thinking—it's changing what your subconscious believes to be true.The Role of Auto-SuggestionAuto-suggestion is like the bouncer at the nightclub of your mind. It decides what thoughts enter and what gets rejected.If your auto-suggestion is programmed negatively, your subconscious will reject new, positive ideas before they even take root.The most powerful way to reprogram your mind is by consciously feeding it new, empowering beliefs and stories.The Story You Tell Yourself & OthersEvery day, you reinforce a narrative about who you are and what is possible for you.If you constantly say, "Making money is hard," your subconscious will make sure you struggle financially.If you say, "I am always lucky and things work in my favor," your subconscious will seek proof to make that true.Pay attention to the hidden stories you tell yourself about love, money, success, and self-worth.Limiting Beliefs & How to Overcome ThemYour biggest enemy is not external circumstances, but your own subconscious conditioning.Most limiting beliefs come from parents, community, education, and religion—but they can be rewritten.A powerful exercise: Write down your biggest limitations and ask, “Who told me this was true?”Replace limiting beliefs with powerful affirmations and repeated exposure to new perspectives.Fear of Consequences & JudgmentMany people stay stuck because they fear what others will think if they change.Your subconscious tries to keep you safe by avoiding risk. But that “safety” keeps you in the same cycle.Every successful person had to break free from fear-based thinking—this episode teaches you how to do the same.The Law of Compensation & Your Subconscious ProgrammingYou are currently receiving exactly what you subconsciously believe you deserve.Success, wealth, and happiness don't come from wishing—they come from deep subconscious alignment.If you have inconsistent results in life, your subconscious is probably sending mixed signals to the universe.The solution? Become laser-focused on changing your internal self-image. Notable Quotes“Your subconscious isn't against you—it's simply following orders. Give it better instructions.”“The real you isn't the version you practice—it's the one that shows up when life catches you off guard.”“If you don't like checking your bank balance, that's a sign you believe money is always running out.”“Your subconscious mind is like soil. Whatever you plant will grow. Stop planting weeds.”“Wherever you have a need, plant a seed. Abundance starts with shifting your subconscious expectations.” Actionable Steps to Retrain Your Subconscious MindStep 1: Identify Your Current ProgrammingJournal about your beliefs around money, success, love, and self-worth.Ask yourself: Where did these beliefs come from? Are they serving me?Step 2: Reprogram with Auto-SuggestionReplace limiting beliefs with intentional, repeated affirmations.Surround yourself with positive influences and success stories.Step 3: Take Inspired ActionYour subconscious learns best through experience. Start acting as if your new beliefs are already true.If you want to be wealthy, start making financial decisions like a wealthy person would.If you want confidence, practice showing up boldly, even before you feel ready.Step 4: Eliminate Negative InputsBe mindful of who and what you allow into your mental space.Unfollow negativity, stop complaining, and replace toxic conversations with empowering ones.Step 5: Track Your ProgressKeep a journal of small wins and shifts in your mindset.The more you notice evidence of your subconscious shifting, the faster it will transform. Take the first step today: Start observing the stories you tell yourself and challenge any that no longer serve you.Share this episode with someone who needs to break free from subconscious conditioning.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-to-success-law-of-attraction/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Podcast Episode Breakdown: Quantum Resonance S01E05 - "Depths of Deceit"Episode Title: S01E05 "Depths of Deceit"Episode Summary: In this heart-pounding episode of Quantum Resonance, Maleck, still inhabiting Davey Richardson's body, unravels the dark depths of Alan Grant's manipulative plans. He is torn between following J.T.'s stern advice to guide, not change and his moral obligation to save Davey's family from the looming disaster. With mounting pressure and betrayal lurking around every corner, Maleck finds himself in a precarious situation—one wrong move could cost him everything. Alan's ruthless schemes go beyond layoffs; it's a systemic plot to destroy entire industries, and Maleck must decide if he can stop the devastation without altering the timeline. But the further he delves, the more he realizes the cost of uncovering the truth may be higher than he's prepared to pay.Key Themes:Betrayal and Survival: The lines between ally and enemy blur as Maleck grapples with who he can trust, knowing that betrayal could come from the people closest to Davey.Moral Conflict: Maleck faces the internal struggle between following J.T.'s warnings and protecting Davey's family from certain ruin.Corporate Greed: Alan Grant's exploitation of the ERTA cuts goes beyond mere financial gain—his plan will cripple families and entire industries, revealing the darker side of capitalism.Characters Introduced:Dr. Maleck Evans: Maleck, determined to prevent Davey's future demise, takes matters into his own hands, even as J.T. warns him against interfering.Alan Grant: The cold, calculating antagonist of the episode, Alan steps up his plans, ensuring that Davey will be the fall guy in his scheme to use the ERTA for his own profit.Paul Mitchell: Once a trusted friend of Davey, Paul's betrayal is laid bare, forcing Maleck to confront the harsh reality that he may be in over his head.J.T. Thompson: J.T. continues to guide Maleck through The Echo, but with every cryptic warning, it becomes clear that the more Maleck learns, the more dangerous the situation becomes.Plot Highlights:Maleck's Realization: Maleck uncovers the true extent of Alan Grant's plans to exploit the ERTA, realizing that it's not just about layoffs but about reshaping entire industries at the expense of workers like Davey.Tension Builds with Sarah and Tom: As Maleck pushes back against Alan's scheme, Sarah and Tom grow increasingly suspicious. Maleck's facade begins to crack as the pressure mounts, and he realizes they may be watching him closer than ever.Paul's Betrayal: Maleck discovers that Paul, Davey's once-loyal friend, has been feeding information to Alan. This gut punch forces Maleck to reconsider every alliance, knowing Paul's actions could have dire consequences.J.T.'s Cryptic Warnings: The Echo pulses with increasing urgency as J.T. warns Maleck to back off, reminding him that interfering with the timeline could lead to disastrous consequences. But Maleck can't ignore the stakes for Davey's family.The Setup: Maleck hatches a risky plan to infiltrate a high-stakes meeting between Alan and Senator Harold Thompson. The stakes couldn't be higher, and Maleck knows one misstep will blow his cover—and possibly his life.Alan's Ruthlessness: In a chilling moment, Alan orders Tom to keep an eye on Davey and prepare to eliminate him if things go south. Maleck realizes just how expendable Davey is in Alan's eyes and that the danger is far greater than he anticipated.Key Moments:Maleck's Conflict with J.T.: Maleck pushes J.T. to help him intervene, despite J.T.'s warnings about the potential fallout from altering the timeline.Paul's Confession: The moment Paul reveals his betrayal is a turning point in the episode, forcing Maleck to rethink his strategy and how far he's willing to go.Alan's Deadly Plan: Alan's cold command to “neutralize” Davey, should things go wrong, raises the stakes for Maleck as he realizes just how much danger he's in.The Echo's Warning: J.T.'s final words through The Echo—“You've already changed too much”—leave Maleck grappling with the chilling consequences of his actions.Stay Tuned:Stay tuned for Quantum Resonance, Episode S01E06, titled "The Cost of Truth." As Maleck dives deeper into the conspiracy surrounding the ERTA, his plan to expose Alan Grant places him in mortal danger. J.T.'s warnings grow more urgent, and The Echo's cryptic signals suggest that Maleck's actions could have devastating consequences not just for Davey, but for the entire timeline. Can Maleck outmaneuver the powerful forces working against him, or will the cost of uncovering the truth be more than he can bear?

    In this episode, we explore the concept of "practiced religion" and challenge the limits imposed by superficial leadership. Discover how true ministry transcends expectations, doubts, and even the insecurities of those in power, as we discuss authentic faith, accountability, and the courage to lead beyond the masks we wear.To contact Antonio T. Smith Jr.https://www.facebook.com/theatsjrhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Antonio-T.-Smith-Jr/author/B00M3MPVJ8https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniotsmithjrhttps://antoniotsmithjr.comhttps://www.instagram.com/theatsjr Introduction to Mentoring DeannaAntonio T. Smith Jr. reflects on mentoring Deanna for nearly a decade.Antonio introduces Deanna's concept of "practiced religion," which distinguishes between individuals who sincerely practice their faith and those who merely go through the motions.Deanna described these individuals as "practiced Christians," indicating that their actions were performative rather than rooted in genuine belief.Ministry Beyond Leaders: Key Concept IntroductionMain Focus: Antonio aims to discuss the concept of "ministry beyond leaders" and explore how genuine ministry extends beyond hierarchical leadership structures.He places emphasis on finding ways to serve and do meaningful work, irrespective of whether there is direct support from established leadership.Breakdown of Weekly Ministry ThemesWeek 1: Ministry Beyond the DisciplesAntonio explores how ministry should continue beyond the immediate presence of disciples or followers.He encourages the audience to understand ministry as an ongoing effort that doesn't require validation from others.Example: Antonio cites John 9, where Jesus healed a man even without the disciples present, emphasizing that ministry is about the work itself, not who is watching.Week 2: Ministry Beyond People TalkingThis week deals with overcoming criticism and gossip.Antonio mentions the challenge of "people running their mouths" and stresses the importance of continuing one's ministry despite negative talk.Example from John 9: The blind man's blessing was questioned by people who never directly approached him, showing that doubts often arise from those unwilling to seek understanding.Week 3: Ministry Beyond DoubtsAntonio focuses on working through others' doubts and skepticism.Example: People doubting that the healed blind man was the same person, reflecting how disbelief can discourage genuine progress.Antonio encourages perseverance in ministry despite these doubts, asserting that true service must continue regardless of skepticism.Week 4: Ministry Beyond LeadersMain Topic: Antonio talks about a ministry that transcends the limits imposed by religious leaders or those in power.Example: The Pharisees doubting Jesus and the healed man, illustrating how rigid leadership can stifle individual faith and transformation.Spiritual Abuse Mentioned: Antonio addresses the issue of leaders claiming authority to decide who gets to be close to God or be part of the community, labeling this behavior as "spiritual abuse."Ministry as Work: Comparing Ministry to Electrical EngineeringAntonio uses an analogy to describe ministry as akin to electrical work:Positive and Negative Charges: Just like electrical work, ministry can have both positive and negative aspects, but regardless, the work must be done.Neutrality in Ministry: Antonio strongly rejects being "lukewarm" in ministry, emphasizing that neutrality is unproductive. A person must be either hot or cold to make an impact.Sacred Text Reference: He highlights that sacred texts often say those who are "lukewarm" will be "spewed out," underscoring the importance of genuine commitment over indecision.Social and Historical Context: Roman Citizenship and JudaismAntonio provides historical context about the Jewish people under Roman rule:Roman Citizenship Requirements: He explains how being recognized as part of the Roman Empire provided certain benefits such as protection, plumbing, and electricity.Loss of Jewish Identity: Antonio elaborates that if a person was expelled from the synagogue, they essentially lost their Jewish identity and the protections that came with it.Historical Parallel: He uses the example of the man born blind and his parents being questioned about their son's healing, highlighting how Jewish authorities could threaten a person's religious and social status to maintain control.Challenges of Leadership: The Saul and David StoryJealousy and Insecurity in Leadership:Antonio uses the biblical story of Saul and David to illustrate the destructive effects of jealousy and insecurity within leadership.He explains that Saul's anger towards David wasn't due to a personal wrong, but rather David's ability to bring peace through his music, which highlighted Saul's own inadequacies.Personal Reflection:Antonio draws parallels to modern leadership, discussing how some leaders feel threatened by the success of those they lead, particularly when they cannot control the outcome.He refers to the dangers of needing to control all blessings within one's "household" or domain, warning of the toxicity this mindset creates.Parent-Child Dynamics and AccountabilityParents Don't Owe You Anything:Antonio addresses the common attitude of blaming parents for adult struggles, emphasizing that parents did the best they could with what they had.He acknowledges that while parents may have made mistakes, it is the individual's responsibility, as an adult, to take accountability for their own lives and stop carrying the resentment of childhood shortcomings.Authentic vs. False LeadershipAuthenticity in Leadership:Antonio discusses the difference between authentic and inauthentic leadership.Authentic leaders are those who fall and rise again, setting an example of resilience, whereas false leaders maintain a façade, never showing weakness or admitting faults.Impact of False Teachings:Antonio explains the detrimental effects of following a leader who is unwilling to change or admit mistakes.Audience Reflection: Followers of false leaders often wear similar "masks," pretending to be flawless, whereas followers of true leaders embrace vulnerability and growth.Emotional and Psychological Challenges in FaithMinistry Beyond Leadership Failures:Antonio encourages the audience to persevere in faith and ministry even when religious leaders fail or exhibit hypocrisy.The Cost of False Leadership: He warns that when leaders refuse to acknowledge their flaws, it can lead their followers astray, creating a toxic environment that suppresses genuine spiritual growth.Closing Reflection on Human Nature and AccountabilityHarvesting What We Plant:Antonio emphasizes that individuals are ultimately responsible for the harvests in their lives. What they experience is a result of the seeds they have planted, either by their own actions or by allowing others to plant in their lives.No External Blame:He insists that people often blame others for negative outcomes, but it is the individual's responsibility to prevent or enable those seeds from taking root.Communal Relationships and Jealousy:Antonio addresses the recurring theme of jealousy among peers and within communities.He provides examples of how individuals often face resentment from those closest to them—friends or family—when they experience growth or success, urging listeners to recognize and overcome these challenges.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-to-success-law-of-attraction/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

J.T.'s advice to Maleck to "guide, not change" underscores the importance of aligning with the higher wisdom that sees the bigger picture, even when Maleck's immediate instincts push him toward intervention.Core Teaching: This reflects the teaching that alignment with Infinite Intelligence allows one to navigate life's challenges with a deeper understanding of the universal order. Maleck's reliance on The Echo is symbolic of trusting in this omnipresent force.2. Everything Is Perfect:Context in the Story: Maleck struggles with the concept of not changing the future, despite knowing the tragic outcomes that await Davey. J.T. reminds him that his role is not to alter what is destined but to help Davey make better choices within the framework of the predetermined future. This emphasizes that every event, no matter how dire it seems, has its place in the grand design.Core Teaching: The episode illustrates the principle that "Everything Is Perfect" by showing how Maleck must come to terms with the idea that his intervention should be about guidance rather than correction. This acceptance of the inherent perfection in all events, even those that seem tragic, is a key aspect of the teaching.3. Non-Correction as Acceptance:Context in the Story: Maleck is torn between his desire to save Davey by altering his fate and J.T.'s counsel to guide without changing. This tension highlights the challenge of practicing non-correction. Maleck's eventual decision to steer Davey subtly, without outright altering the future, is a manifestation of accepting events as they are.Core Teaching: This embodies the teaching that non-correction fosters true acceptance and peace. By refraining from directly changing the outcome, Maleck practices the discipline of allowing events to unfold as they should, trusting in the perfection of the universe's design.4. The Power of Perception:Context in the Story: Maleck's perception of Sarah and Tom shifts dramatically after J.T.'s warning. What once appeared as a straightforward plan to expose corruption now seems like a sinister setup. This change in perception fundamentally alters how Maleck interacts with the situation.Core Teaching: This underscores the idea that our perception shapes our reality. Maleck's realization that something is off changes his approach, aligning with the teaching that by seeing everything through the lens of perfection, our experiences and actions are transformed.5. Integration of Acceptance and Action:Context in the Story: Maleck must balance his acceptance of the future's inevitable outcomes with the need to take proactive steps to guide Davey. This delicate balance between acceptance and action is critical as Maleck navigates the unfolding events.Core Teaching: This reflects the teaching that while everything is perfect, it is still essential to take conscious, aligned actions. Maleck's decision to act in ways that guide rather than change aligns with the idea of integrating acceptance with mindful action.6. The Role of the Conscious Observer:Context in the Story: Maleck's role as the observer, influenced by The Echo and J.T., allows him to see beyond the immediate events and understand the broader implications of his actions. His challenge is to observe without altering the flow, embodying the conscious observer's role.Core Teaching: The episode highlights the teaching that as conscious observers, our role is to witness and guide without imposing our will on the unfolding perfection of the universe. Maleck's internal struggle and eventual decisions reflect this nuanced understanding of observation and influence.7. Embracing Perfection:Context in the Story: Maleck's journey in this episode is one of embracing the perfection in a situation that appears deeply flawed. His challenge is to see the broader picture and trust in the inherent order, even when faced with potentially tragic outcomes.Core Teaching: This ties directly into the teaching that embracing the concept of universal perfection leads to peace and understanding. Maleck's path to embracing this, despite his initial resistance, is a key narrative thread in the episode.Conclusion: "Echoes of Deception" is a narrative deeply intertwined with Antonio T. Smith Jr.'s core teachings. It explores the tension between action and acceptance, the power of perception, and the practice of non-correction as a path to recognizing the inherent perfection in all things. Through Maleck's journey, these teachings are not just illustrated but are brought to life in a context that challenges both the character and the audience to rethink their approach to life's complexities.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-to-success-law-of-attraction/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Episode Summary:Dive into the complex debate of free will versus determinism as we explore how our memories shape our perceptions of choice and fate. In this thought-provoking episode, we challenge the boundaries of free will, dissect the role of memory in our decision-making, and question whether our paths are pre-determined or truly free.Follow Antonio Here:https://www.facebook.com/theatsjrhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Antonio-T.-Smith-Jr/author/B00M3MPVJ8https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniotsmithjrhttps://antoniotsmithjr.comhttps://www.instagram.com/theatsjrInitial Discussion:The speaker decides to express their thoughts on free will earlier than planned, influenced by student interest.Acknowledges strong beliefs in both free will and determinism among the class.Arguments Against Free WillCommon Expressions:Phrases like "wasn't meant to be," "God's plan," and "in her genes" are examples of determinism.Destiny and fate-related statements also align with determinism.Contradictions in Determinism:Poking fun at deterministic beliefs by highlighting contradictions, e.g., "path bender" and affirmations in a deterministic world.Questioning self-proclaimed control over one's fate in a deterministic view.Arguments for DeterminismExamples and Analogies:Genetic inheritance (e.g., child resembling a parent) as an example of determinism.Life events like death are inevitable despite lifestyle choices.Scientific Explanation:Reference to the second law of thermodynamics to argue that order leads to disorder, supporting determinism.The process of aging and death as deterministic regardless of actions.Free Will within DeterminismHuman Experience:The speaker suggests that we might have already exercised our free will in some form.Our current state might be observing the consequences of past free will, suggesting a deterministic observation phase.The Role of MemoryMemory of Past Events:Discussion shifts to the memory of past events and its relation to free will and determinism.Open Discussion and Critical ThinkingClass Engagement:Encourages students to critically examine their beliefs and not just agree with the speaker.Promotes open-mindedness and critical thinking without resorting to default answers like "God's plan."Summary of Key PointsDeterminism:Hard determinism posits that every event or state is the result of preceding events in accordance with the natural laws.Free Will:Free will is typically viewed as the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded.Illustrative AnalogiesBiblical References:Joseph's life story used to illustrate a mix of determinism and free will.Scientific Concepts:Thermodynamics and biological processes used to support arguments for determinism.Philosophical and Practical ImplicationsPractical Takeaway:The importance of understanding why one holds certain beliefs.Encourages aligning actions with understanding of free will and determinism.Engaging with Opposing ViewsClassroom Debate:Highlights the value of engaging with and understanding opposing viewpoints.Promotes a balanced and respectful debate on free will and determinism.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-to-success-law-of-attraction/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Concept of Space-TimeAnalogy of Space-Time and a Loaf of BreadDifferent ways to cut a loaf of bread represent different ways to cut space-time.Motion affects the passage of time; moving individuals have different perceptions of "now."Effect of Motion on Perception of TimeMoving changes the angle of one's "now-slices."Examples: An alien moving away from Earth perceives different historical events as "now."2. Quantum Mechanics and UncertaintyHeisenberg Uncertainty PrincipleCannot simultaneously know exact position and speed of an object.Originates from the dual nature of particles behaving as both particles and waves.Particles vs. WavesParticles: Exist in a single place at any instant.Waves: Spread out in space, identified by features like wavelength.Wavelength related to momentum (mass times velocity).Wave Packet and UncertaintyCombining waves with different wavelengths creates a wave packet.Wave packets have both position and momentum but with inherent uncertainty.3. Quantum SuperpositionSchrödinger's CatThought experiment illustrating quantum superposition.A particle can appear to be in multiple states simultaneously until observed.Double-Slit ExperimentElectrons can pass through two slits simultaneously, explained by wave behavior.Implications for RealitySuperpositions challenge our understanding of singular object properties.Raises questions about the nature of observation and reality.4. The Nature of TimeTime as a LabelTime helps differentiate events in the universe.Past, present, and future are operationally defined but have deeper implications.The Arrow of TimeEntropy: Measure of disorder, increasing over time.Low entropy at the beginning (Big Bang) leading to higher entropy states.Life and EntropyLife exists because of increasing entropy.Complexity arises during the transition from low to high entropy states.5. Theological Perspectives on Free Will and DeterminismRomans 9-11: Election and PredestinationGod's choices are independent of human actions, illustrating a form of determinism.Jacob and Esau: God's decisions made before their birth, highlighting predestination.Divine Sovereignty vs. Human ResponsibilityParadox between God's control and human free will.Salvation available to all, but belief and unbelief remain a mystery.6. Philosophical Perspectives on Free WillLibertarian Free WillHumans can make entirely free actions.Principle of alternate possibilities: Actions are free if the agent could have done otherwise.Hard DeterminismEvery event is caused by preceding events, leaving no room for free will.Actions and decisions are inevitable results of prior causes.Challenges to Free WillDifficulty in reconciling subjective experiences of freedom with deterministic views.Philosophical debates on the nature of causation and human agency.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-to-success-law-of-attraction/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
