It really doesn't matter where the programming comes from. There is always the tendency of the mind to try to explain things. Perhaps because it always want to be distracted, and it fears contact with reality. We could have a discussion about where the programming starts, or if its inherent in our genes. But this get us away from the simplicity of Tony's message. The understanding he is talking about comes through seeing. Not through discussing concepts, philosophies, or theories.
@bulent2k2 unfortunately, programing is very, very deep by now and with something called Epigenetics it can also be seen that stress is inherited long way down the line but this is not something done by nature alone, nature doesn't have a need to create neurotic children, a long line of neurotic parents make neurotic children.. To see this and understand this is the way to start breaking that program and freeing future DNA
God, give me understanding. My mind is not calm. Are these thoughts, is this programming, helpful for my peace of mind? Or do I need to allow a thought to change? I watch my thoughts and my feelings as though I was watching a television show, and through self-observation I learn which thoughts are not working for me anymore.
@carl200us Well said! Amen!! :-)

but we can always try to see the programming and allow it to disappear

Programming does not start with birth. It is also in our genes/DNA... It is from both nature AND nurture...
