It is safe to say, even without analyzing the culture in which you live, that various memes that "programmed" consciousness influence the course of life by any methods at their disposal. For the same reasons, mental viruses should be taken very seriously and rationally. Mental viruses infect your consciousness with various methods - ideas, attitudes, beliefs. As a result, in your life, you do not get what you wanted. One of the methods by which the memes that programmed your subconscious influence your future life are self-realized and predictable enough.
Confidence in the probability of events often contributes to an overestimation of the probability of events. A child to whom his or her parents constantly repeat that he or she will be "lucky", that he or she can be, with whomever he or she wants, "programmed" for full success (. While he, growing up without parental care in any "stone bag" of the city, which sees nothing around but his own and others' failures will be directly "programmed" for direct defeat. Mental viruses often fill our heads with "self-blowing" techniques that prevent us from succeeding.
If we take a look at how the "self-fulfilling predictions" work, we will understand why clairvoyant and diverse horoscopes are so popular. For example, I've watched twice the work of outstanding psychic Maxwell working in a small restaurant in Seattle. I say "outstanding" with knowledge of the case. Two times he guessed my buddies with Tarot cards. The cards always predicted their health, happiness and - under the conditions that my friends would take advantage of the opportunities and fulfill all desires in their lives, and the prediction would act immediately. Since I'm a little familiar with card tricks, it wasn't hard for me to see Maxwell shuffling cards in such a way that the three right cards would "fall out", while the client believed he had chosen them himself. The card trick reinforced the plausibility of the words and made the people listening to them listen carefully to all his advice. This is how they later did it, a beautiful, self-realizing prediction that can "program" everyone for a full and rich life.
Memes-differences carry out programming of consciousness that not only predetermine your future, they can create a kind of filtration of perception, through which the world around you is sifted through. People assimilate only a small fraction of the information that is recorded every second by the senses. What kind of information can we learn and what kind of information do we ignore? For this function is responsible for our subconscious, coming from the memes, the differences that we are all "programmed". In turn, Memes-differences, which program consciousness, control the information obtained. This makes your reality very different from the rest. Most people have not tried to prepare their subconscious level of perception for the search for information that has the most important purpose for them - this long and very complex process. The process of careful selection of information is left to chance, and their perception is often exposed to mental viruses.
There are countless examples of such worldview filters: when you buy a new car, you find a huge number of cars of the same brand on the roads at random. The fact is that you have a new meme in your subconscious. When you tell your friend about buying a car, he or she will often notice similar cars on the street - it means that your meme was directly passed on to the consciousness of another person.

Advertising works in the same way - changing your perception filter in such a way that you pay more attention to the often advertised products, and they, in turn, caused you the most pleasant emotions. The purpose of slogans is political information, and the rhetoric of public authorities is to directly infect your consciousness with certain measures - being under their influence, you later vote for these politicians. The world is overfilled with mega-memes that spread through mental viruses. These measures are indifferent to your personal destiny and subsequent well-being. They lead you into a state of confusion and hinder your self-realization.
Your assessment of your past also has some impact on your life. In the United States today, it is popular to call people who have suffered cruel, unfair or negligent treatment "victims". Of course, this viewpoint has a right to exist. Although people who are used to always consider themselves victims, get used to the feeling of their own infirmity and are no longer able to cope with negative emotions. A certain type of positive approach assumes the responsibility of a person for the events of life. This directly concerns those who are considered victims past injustices.
This also applies directly to those who are considered victims of past injustices. After the same person changes his or her personal attitude to the past - in his or her meme programs - and takes responsibility for his or her past solely upon himself or herself, he or she may experience a brief period of despondency and regret. But after that, he completely relieves the oppression of the past and goes forward.
