Dr. Taras Chubenko’s book, “Connecting to God: A Journey Over 50 Years,” explores the impact of early childhood programming on our spiritual journey. Early childhood programming refers to the messages and experiences we receive from our parents, caregivers, and other significant figures during our formative years. These experiences can shape our beliefs, attitudes, and worldview.

For instance, if we were consistently criticized or made to feel inadequate during childhood, we grow up with low self-esteem and a belief that we are not deserving of love and respect. On the other hand, if we were consistently praised and encouraged, we may have a strong sense of self-worth and confidence.

Recognizing the influence of early childhood programming is essential for our spiritual growth. It allows us to understand where our beliefs and attitudes come from and how they may be limiting us. By identifying and challenging negative beliefs stemming from early childhood, we can develop new and empowering beliefs that align with our spiritual journey.

It is essential to evaluate the place we find ourselves in and make necessary adjustments where necessary. By understanding how our childhood experiences shaped us, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-healing, and spiritual growth. We can become more aware of our beliefs, values, and behaviors and align them with our spiritual journey.

Understanding the influence of early childhood programming on our spiritual journey is critical. By recognizing how our past experiences have shaped our beliefs and attitudes, we embark on a path of healing and personal growth. We now develop new and empowering beliefs that align with our spiritual journey that leads to a more fulfilling life.
