Business professors Gary  Hamel and C.K. Prahalad wrote about an experiment with four monkeys. In their  cage was placed a pole with a bunch of bananas suspended at the top. 


When one  of the monkeys climbed the pole, just as he reached out to grasp hold of a banana, he was doused with a torrent of cold water. Squealing, he quickly  scampered down the pole. The same thing happened to the three other monkeys.  After several more attempts, they abandoned all hope of reaching the bananas.


The researchers then  replaced one of the monkeys with another monkey, and as soon as the newcomer  monkey began to climb the pole, the other three monkeys pulled him away.  After several more attempts, he too gave up.


A second one of the four  original monkeys was replaced and the same thing happened to him. He, too,  was pulled away from the pole when he attempted to climb it. In time all four  of the original monkeys were replaced; none of whom dared climb the pole  even though they never knew why and had never been doused with cold water.


False fears, which may  have had validity at one time but are no longer valid, are not only taught and learned by monkeys, but also by people. Such fears can be learned through  an early traumatic experience and be firmly programmed into our unconscious mind, and hold us back from becoming and  doing all that God envisioned for us to be and do.


For some people,  irrational fears can be crippling. Only as we see and know the truth can we  begin to be set free.
