Stepping outside the society box as far as thinking goes is a must if one is to go beyond the trap of what’s considered the box. You may ask why would a person want to go beyond what society considers the box and here’s why, the so called box is based in form and to be attached to form causes suffering. It’s as simple as that, with the box there’s attachment to the senses (form) and although life will still occur it just won’t be experienced fully. There will still be experiences, how can there not be, but they will be dictated by form and there’ll be much nonsense associated with them. The society box is a trap of what others think is considered normal and unless one can see this to go beyond it, there will be acceptance of someone else’s idea as your own. It’s an easy trap to get snared in because the bait is so enticing.
This plays right into the reward system that is also a box; not many do anything that doesn’t have the reward of pleasure associated with it. This can be applied to just about anything. When was the last time something was purposely done that you knew was going to be unpleasant with no reward attached to it? This is pivotal in understanding the process of the Conditioned Mind and until you can just be with whatever arises without judging it or associating it with the pleasure, the society box syndrome will be what dictates the life you’re living and it will probably be someone else’s idea of what is considered the right or wrong way to live…
