Everyone has the choice whether to change or stay the same, but it’s only those who have the awareness it’s the conditions that need to be changed who truly have this choice…
The other day I took a shower and when I got out the mirror was foggy, I took out the blow dryer and cleared up the mirror. What also became clear was my awareness of how everything that happens in life is a result of conditions being a certain way and the only way it will change is when the conditioning changes. This is a fact, it doesn’t take a belief for this to occur; get a pot of water to 212 degrees and it will boil. All things in life have certain operating principles and when conditions are in line with those principles the natural course of action takes place. It’s what happens with every living thing that begins life, whether humans, animals, plants, clouds, stars and so on, nothing truly happens independently on its own, it’s all caused by something else.
Behavior is the same way, no one acts a certain way just because, there’s always the root cause behind every action and unless this root is exposed, nothing changes; it’s not that it won’t change, it can’t. This is why there’s suffering in the world, nothing inherently makes you suffer, your own mind does this only because of the way it’s conditioned. When something happens people see it differently so it affects them differently, but there are some things that are the same no matter what. If there’s isn’t oxygen, you will die, if the heart stops, same result, this happens as a result of conditions. So everyone has the choice whether to change or stay the same, but only those who have the awareness it’s the conditions that need changing will have this choice…
