Why You Smoke - Dr. Leland Benton
Introduction – The Why
Questions Never Stop But You Can
Why do you smoke? When I was a smoker I must have been asked this question a bizillion times. People always are able to see the speck in someone else’s eye while ignoring the plank in their own eye.
This book is all about smoking – why you do it and how to overcome it but more importantly do you really want to smoke? It is a much needed resource since this is an addiction you want to break for not only health reasons but for financial ones too.
This book is a result of my own qwest to quit smoking so I turned this qwest into a research project and this book is the result of this project.
The question of why
has been a part of the conscience of man since the dawn of time. It has caused us to seek answers, better solutions, invention, progress, increased knowledge and more.
But more often than not, most of our questions of why
now centers on personal behavioral traits and habits that perplex us and cause us consternation and regret.
Candidly, most people have no idea why they do the things they do so in this book – the fourteenth book in the Why
series of books – I am going to explain in detail why you smoke and how to easily let it go.
The subsequent books in this series will deal with specific behavioral traits and target certain conditions that really are bothersome. To wit:
Why You Do The Things You Do
Why You Are Greedy
Why You Are Immoral
Why You Are In Debt Up To Your Eyeballs
Why You Are Lonely
Why You Are Unhappy
Why You Fail In Relationships
Why You Get Angry
Why You Gossip About Others
Why You Have Bad Habits
Why You Lie, Cheat & Deceive
Why You Overeat
Why You Procrastinate
Why You Smoke
In all of the books of this Why
series, Chapter 1 always begins with Laying a Proper Foundation
and deals with the mechanism of the human mind and how the mind functions both conscious mind and subconscious mind. This is a very important chapter so please study this chapter closely.
I will then teach you how to change the subconscious mind’s belief systems. In other words, the Introduction and Chapter 1 will appear in the entire Why
series of books as the foundation. From Chapter 2 on, I will then discuss each book’s specific topic in detail.
It is important to note that there is no such thing as personal
versus commercial
behavioral science. The human mind uses the same mechanism in both personal situations as well as commercial.
The way each individual/gender employs their respective psyches is what is different.
For example; we all have cars but we all have different driving habits and drive cars differently.
Hence, in a personal situation, i. e. relationships or a commercial situation, i.e. addicted to shopping, the human mind employs the same mechanism and the corrective protocols used to correct any of the situations described in the Why
series of books will be similar.
So let’s get to it…
Chapter 1 - Laying A Proper Foundation
In all of my Why
series of books, I will provide the following discourse on the Human Mind in order to lay a proper foundation to what I am about to teach.
The Mechanism of the Human Mind
Prior to the fall of man into sin as described in the Garden of Eden, man’s spirit was hooked to God’s infinite spirit. There was no death because God’s spirit is infinite. Man is the only animal on earth that shares the eternality nature of God. The subject of eternal life has been a heated topic of man from the beginning of our existence.
In Greek mythology, there’s a story about a mortal youth named Tithonus. Aurora, the goddess of dawn, fell in love with the boy and when Zeus, the king of the gods, promised to grant Aurora any gift she chose for her lover, she asked that Tithonus might live forever. But, in her haste she forgot to ask for eternal youth, so when Zeus granted her request, Tithonus was doomed to an eternity of perpetual aging as a grouchy old man… forever.
In the movie Highlander,
Angus McLeod was born in 1518 as an immortal being. He could not die and to me, the best part of the movie was the depiction of this immortal's agony here on earth as he watched everything he loved die forcing him to begin his life over and over again. He saw all of the ugliness, which man had caused over four centuries. He witnessed the Spanish Inquisition, Waterloo, the atrocities of the Third Reich, and more. He saw the slavery and bigotry of the eighteenth century, the slaughter of the Native American tribes after the Civil War. This man's life was a living Hell!
There is a very big difference between the ways our feeble minds picture eternal life versus God’s idea of eternal life. Our understanding comes from Quantum Physics and is limited within the Time-Space Continuum.
Life is your spirit, but the soul of man has usurped the spirit's position and psychology is now forced to define how
we live our lives based on the animating force of the soul instead of the spirit. As I said previously, the soul has usurped the spirit’s place
