Conditionally Controlled

When you’re under the spell of a conditionally controlled mind you behave in ways not because it’s the way you want to be, it’s because it’s the way you have to be…

It was a lack of understanding of my conditioned mind that caused me to remain unaware of the control it had over me. I wasn’t aware of how my mind was conditioned to self serve. The problem with this type of conditioning is it causes your own demise because the destructiveness is disguised as pleasure. This pleasure is pursued by many to their death. It was pursued by me in this way and I was at its mercy. It said to me to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, womanizing, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how the Conditioned Mind is developed for most; there are those who are fortunate enough to see this at a young age.

The way I was conditionally controlled wasn’t the fault of anyone in particular, it happened indirectly by the influences of my life which molded me to behave in the ways my conditioning dictated. This was not because this is how I wanted to be, but by not understanding this, it was the way I had to be. You cannot behave in any other way except in the way you have been conditioned. Change the conditioning and change your entire existence, or not and remain the same. The value of knowing my own mind is in the understanding there was no where else to turn; not to God, support groups, therapy, self help books, m positive thinking, and so on. What I learned is when the Conditioned Mind is understood, it is no longer in control. I also learned its control slowly dissipates as discipline is developed; the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs, the possibilities are endless because there are no longer the distractions that keep you unaware you’re conditionally controlled. With this understanding of what you’re truly up against you’re able to develop the discipline so being conditionally controlled eventually falls away…
