Becoming Supernatural: How Common People are Doing the Uncommon

by Joe Dispenza

If you’ve spent years conditioning your body to this cycle of thinking and feeling, and then feeling and thinking, without realizing it you’ve also conditioned your body to become addicted to these emotions. So simply changing the external environment by, say, getting a new job doesn’t necessarily break that addiction any more than someone addicted to drugs would be able to stop their cravings just by winning the lottery or moving to Hawaii. Because of the thinking-feeling loop, sooner or later—after the novelty of the experience is over—most people return to their baseline emotional state, and the body believes it is in the same old experience that created the same old emotions. So if you were miserable in your old job but managed to get a new one, you might be happy for a few weeks or even a few months. But if you had spent years conditioning your body to be addicted to misery, you would eventually return to that old emotion because your body would crave its chemical fix.
