Developed Programming

As we grow up we develop in a way that the programming in place allows for the development to be as it is. Simply put, if our programming was based in loved we would develop as a being of love…

As I look back, I see how much of the programming I developed was just a part of what was there growing up. Not particularly right or wrong especially because there wasn’t much that could have been done differently. It’s very difficult to act in a loving manner if that’s not the programming in place as one grows up. Some things are learned naturally, but everything takes some kind of practice to become a habit. If you’re learning how to catch a baseball, at first it’s probably awkward with no knowledge as to the best way to do it, but the more you do it the more natural it becomes. This is a good thing if what you’re learning is based in love. But part of the problem is when what’s developed isn’t based in love because unfortunately it too becomes natural; this is why it’s so hard to change. I knew what was beneficial (loving) and what wasn’t growing up, but doing what was loving was not what was developed so being selfish was natural to me; there wasn’t anybody who could tell me different because that’s all I knew.

To say the least, this non loving development caused much suffering because with this programming in place, there wasn’t any room for much else. This is the merry go round most people are unknowingly on and it’s a direct result of why humanity is the way it is. If we all grew up with our development based in loved, humanity would be much different, it’s that simple. I know this because thirteen years ago I began developing a different base (one of love) and lo and behold things began changing. It doesn’t mean it’s always this way, but just as it is with learning to catch a baseball, it takes practice. And in this case it’s done so the loving behavior becomes as natural as my earlier development of being selfish was…
