A short excerpt from a YouTube lecture by Niraj Naik arguing that much human conditioning happens between ages 0–7 and that practices such as yoga and tantric traditions are designed to help overcome this early conditioning. The speaker cites historical groups (Essenes, Jesuits) and shamanic cultures to support the claim that early childhood shaping determines adult behavior.

Yoga actually is designed to allow you to break free of those chains of your human conditioning. So your human conditioning occurs mostly in 0 to 7 years of age. And all these tantric practices are actually designed to make you overcome the seven year conditioning. And actually, the Essenes and the Jesuits, they have a saying which says, give me the boy for the first seven years and I'll show you the man. Which basically they understood. If you take a child when it's born and they condition them, they will become the Jesuit man. The Jesuit version of the man. Right. Because they understood all this stuff. The shamanic cultures knew all this. We are a massive product of our environment and social conditioning.
