Although things appear to be a certain way they are not always as it seems. It’s difficult to see beyond your own mind when unconscious habits are brought into play. So much of what the mind holds onto is done so unconsciously and is put in storage to be used at particular times, this is how most lives are lived. It’s as though you already have in place the way things are going to be handled; unconscious habits are formed in this way.
Advertisement is a billion dollar industry because of this. Politicians have people write speeches using certain words which they know are going to sway people in certain directions. Supermarkets know exactly where to place products. It’s all based on putting things in a certain place so unconscious habits are triggered .
This goes on constantly because the Conditioned Mind makes it so. If you had no previous conditioning, none of the above methods would work, but this is not the case. One of the keys to not living unconsciously is to a develop some way to be anchored in the awareness of the present moment as much as you can. This is because the more awareness you are of the present moment, the more you’re with what life truly has to offer. When this occurs there’s peace because the unconscious habits that have been put in place by the Conditioned Mind are no longer making it appear that things are different than what they are…
