Kilimanjaro Tribe: Subduing Neuroplasticity, Epigenetics, Your Environment And Manifesting Self
It is imperative that African Americans live our lives with Intent, Purpose, focus and expectation. Why subduing Neuroplasticity, Epigenetics, your environment and self-development are the foundations of Kilimanjaro Tribe and needed for our evolution.
Much of our daily lives are taken up by habits that we’ve formed over our lifetime. An important characteristic of a habit is that it’s automatic. Neuroplasticity shows that your brain will wire itself to focus only on the repeated decisions you choose make throughout your life, negative or positive, you become your choices.
Automatic behaviors for well-practiced task is a fixed phenomenon of our brains. Meaning that our habits or anything that we do on a regular basis we began to perform unconsciously, automatic responses without thinking about what we are actually doing. Bad or good, your life is a result of the actions or lack of actions you take within your environment.
Most of our decisions, actions, emotions and behavior depend on the 95% of brain activity that is beyond your conscious awareness, which means that 95 to 99 percent of your life comes from the programming in your subconscious mind. -Bruce Lipton, PhD
If 95% of the things we do are done automatically and under subconscious control, this means that we are only consciously in control of around 5% of what we do in a given day. This is why it is imperative to live our lives with Intent, Purpose, focus and definitive expectation.
Your subconscious mind is like a computer and your beliefs develop over time from conditioning from your family, schools, religious institutions, peers and the media. This is the operating code for the mind just like a computer code to run programs. In this same way Epigenetics explains that your DNA will respond to the operating code of your mind (the way your brain is wired) and depending on a positive or a negative mind will either activate dormant genes that can heal you or genes that can cause death.
The function of the brain is to take your belief system and manifest a biology based on that belief system. -Bruce Lipton, PhD
African Americans have never developed our own Culture that connects us to our true heritage and at the same time helps us acquire new skills and abilities such as mental strategies; tools that enable us to perform better and create a better approach towards relationships at home, in the community, and in the workplace within America. -Kilimanjaro Tribe
Dr. Lipton says the function of the brain is to take your belief systems and manifest a biology based on that belief system.

Self-defeating
Adjective
- done in a way that keeps you from succeeding.
- He raises the issue in a way that is self-defeating.
a self-defeating behavior is any behavior that normally ends up with a result that is something the person doing the behavior doesn’t want to happen. If you are trying to accomplish some goal, and something you do makes it less likely that you will reach that goal, then that is a self-defeating behavior. If the goal is reached, but the ways you used to reach the goal cause more bad things to happen than the positive things you get from achieving the goal, that is also self-defeating behavior.
Social psychologists have divided self-defeating behaviors into two types. One type is called counterproductive behaviors. A counterproductive behavior happens when people try to get something they want, but the way they try to get it ends up not being a good one. One type of counterproductive behavior occurs when people persevere at something beyond the time that it is realistic for them to achieve the desired outcome.
The second type of self-defeating behavior is called trade-offs. We make trade-offs in our behavior all the time. For example, you may have been in a relationship where you have hurt someone and they have hurt you. You decide to focus on or plan a course of action against that person instead of taking the time to focus on you and correct the things that need working on within yourself. This is a trade-off: You are trading the emotional enjoyment that you will have for revenge for the benefit you will get from self development(improving yourself)
Another example of a self-defeating trade-off is called self-handicapping. Self-handicapping is when people do something to make their success on a task less likely to happen. People do this so that they will have a built-in excuse if they fail.
For example, A conscious effort is made to uplift a community by uniting under the common goal of improving the community. A few people may disagree because of their beliefs or understanding and start bickering, spreading discourse because they don’t think that the goal can be accomplished because not everyone in the community share their beliefs. That way if the goal is not achieved they can say I told you so and justify why others should follow their beliefs. This is self handicapping as a community, a people more so than individual self handicapping
