I spent 30 days using CIA methods to program my brain (it worked)
Smith Rees Business
Overview
This video explores how to reprogram your brain using methods inspired by CIA tactics, particularly those developed under programs like MK Ultra. It delves into the distinction between the conscious and subconscious mind, highlighting the subconscious's dominant role in shaping beliefs, habits, and perceptions. The core technique discussed is self-subliminal messaging, which involves using specific audio frequencies (432 Hz) and 'I am' affirmations to influence the subconscious, especially during its most vulnerable state upon waking. The video emphasizes the importance of shifting one's identity and feeling deserving of desired outcomes, rather than simply wanting them, to achieve personal transformation.

Chapters
- The video aims to teach viewers how to reprogram their minds using CIA tactics for personal benefit.
- CIA brainwashing tactics, exemplified by MK Ultra, involved destroying existing ego and implanting new behaviors.
- The speaker draws on declassified CIA documents and research, noting the significant investment in mind control experiments.
- The core topics covered are the conscious vs. subconscious mind, self-subliminal messaging, and identity.
Understanding the historical context and the CIA's interest in mind manipulation provides a unique and compelling framework for exploring personal development techniques.
A quote from a declassified CIA document stating, 'We know that men can be made to do exactly anything... we can make him kill his aged parents and eat them in a stew.'
- The subconscious mind controls over 90% of our lives, including beliefs, emotions, habits, and perceptions.
- The conscious mind, making up only 10%, handles logical thinking and critical decision-making.
- Subconscious habits operate on autopilot, requiring no active awareness (e.g., daily routines like brushing teeth).
- The subconscious mind processes external input; like ChatGPT needs a prompt, the brain needs input to generate responses and shape reality.
Recognizing the vast influence of the subconscious is crucial for understanding why external inputs and internal self-talk can profoundly alter one's behavior and perception of reality.
A conscious decision is planning gym time; a subconscious habit is the morning routine of showering and brushing teeth without conscious thought.
- Self-subliminal messaging uses specific audio frequencies and layered messages to influence the subconscious, mirroring CIA techniques.
- The CIA's Gateway Tapes aimed to shift perspective and identity using specific audio frequencies, notably 432 Hz.
- 432 Hz is presented as more harmonious to the brain's natural frequency than the common 440 Hz, making the subconscious five times more vulnerable.
- The brain cannot easily distinguish between dreams and reality, making it susceptible to programmed suggestions.
This chapter introduces a practical technique derived from controversial research, offering a method to intentionally influence one's own mind.

- Metaphysics emphasizes 'feeling over physical,' meaning the emotional resonance of an experience is more impactful than its physical details.
- Effective visualization involves feeling the emotion of achieving a goal, not just picturing the physical outcome.
- The speaker combines affirmations with the 432 Hz frequency and the principle of 'feeling' to create personalized subliminal audio.
- The most powerful time to use these techniques is upon waking, when the subconscious is most receptive.
- Crucially, use 'I am' statements (e.g., 'I am a millionaire') instead of 'I want' statements, as 'I am' signals possession and deservingness.
This section provides the actionable 'how-to' for reprogramming, focusing on the psychological power of 'I am' statements and emotional embodiment.
Instead of saying 'I want to be a millionaire,' use 'I am a millionaire,' layered over 432 Hz audio, and focus on the feeling of already possessing that status.
- True change comes from embodying a new identity, not just trying to achieve goals.
- You become what you consistently act, think, and feel like; your brain adapts to this internalized identity.
- People achieve what they believe they deserve, not necessarily what they deserve based on effort.
- Doubts or beliefs about suffering required for success hinder progress; taking action without overthinking (like 'maxing') can be effective.
This chapter elevates the technique from simple affirmation to a fundamental shift in self-perception, explaining why lasting change requires becoming the person who already has the desired outcomes.
If you believe you are a successful entrepreneur, you will naturally take the actions and make the decisions of one, leading to the results that align with that identity.
Key takeaways
- The subconscious mind is the primary driver of behavior and perception, controlling over 90% of your life.
- CIA research, though ethically questionable, provides insights into powerful mind-programming techniques.
- Utilizing specific audio frequencies like 432 Hz can enhance the subconscious mind's receptivity to suggestions.
- Shifting from 'I want' to 'I am' statements is critical for reprogramming beliefs and signaling deservingness to the subconscious.
- Embodying the identity of the person you wish to become is more effective than simply striving for external goals.
- The feeling associated with an outcome is more powerful for the subconscious than the physical visualization of it.
- Consistent application of these techniques over time (e.g., 30-90 days) is necessary to see significant personal transformation.
