Like the song "born free", we should be free as the wind blows. Like the birds in the sky, the butterfly in the woods, the animals in the jungle. We should be free to do whatever we like or go wherever we want and live however we like. No chains, no bondage and no worries. Are we truly free?
Look at ourselves now. We have to worry about our studies, where we live, how to live , what to eat and most of all what we should have. We are born free but once, we are out of our mother's womb, we have been conditioned by our loved ones , our peers , the custom, the establishment, the things we see, we hear and the things we are taught. s
If we are born in a place or in a family of means then we are given a better education and conditioning. But, if we are born in the slums, we will be among the slum dogs living and thinking in manner of the day. So, we need to go back in our past and know our past in order to change our mindset and outlook. The conditioning and educationing our mind and thoughts can be very silent, quiet and stutle.
Most of our thinking now is based on our past and our exposure and experience from our past encounters with the people and the way they are thinking and how we absorbed from the experience and the encounters. All these mould our thinking and decisions. If we were to know your past , your education background and shared your experience, we can have an accurate personal profile of you and how you will re-act in a particular situation or answer a particular question or make a particular decision.
If we want to change your self and want to make a decision by your "own" self and not your "profiled" self, it is only possible to analyse your past and your exposure and experience to unlearn or be aware of how it influence you . So, before you decide or re-act, you have to draw your awareness of your past and spend the time to make the decision or re-action. You have to repeat this process tediously and painfully before you can dilute the influence of your past in your future self.
There is a study that if we tell a "lie" for a thousand times, it is no more a lie but a fact. This is the conditioning of our mind and our thoughts. So, whatever process that is done repeatedly, it would become an written SOP in our mind and we will act, decide and live within this confinement. So, break free form your "conditioned" self and live free. This is what life is should be and not only living in your comfort zone and make your self believe that is the best for you . Think carefully, living in your own box may not be the best for you as outside the box , there is a bigger world.
Live well, eat well and born free again.
Namaste.
