🌀If we are to better understand ourselves and the many things that shape our perception, it is essential for us to realize that our minds are heavily conditioned. We are conditioned by society, by our family, by our friends, establishments, governments, the economy, the environment, climate, food, education, media, and so on. All human beings throughout the world are conditioned. It is an obvious and undeniable fact.
💢Yet, many of us are unaware of this fact of our conditioning. We are unaware of the ways in which our culture influences our minds and shapes our perception of reality. We do not realize that most of our thoughts, opinions, and beliefs are not really our own, but were simply inherited by our family and the society that we were raised in.
🔷Conditioning creates a pattern in the mind, one that the mind feels safe in, and it prevents the mind from being open to life and to new experiences that do not fit into the pattern it has created.
♦️A mind conditioned to see reality in a particular way, according to a particular belief, is a closed mind, one that is not open to the direct experience of each living moment.
🌓To be able to look at our conditioning objectively, and to question it honestly, allows us to unlearn the patterns we have been conditioned to learn, and in doing so, opens us up to deeper aspects of reality that we were previously unaware of.
