Repeated Reactions

The repeated reactions of a Conditioned Mind can be devastating if they’re not understood. The repeated reactions manifest in many ways, but when the mind is quiet many fall by the wayside; that’s when life truly begins…

The reason why it’s so difficult to change is because the mind defaults to repeated reactions; even to the point of its own destruction. The conditioning must be changed if the repeated behavior is to be changed. If this isn’t identified the behavior is repeated over and over, that is until the necessary practice is cultivated to initiate change. If nothing changes nothing changes. If the conditioning is changed the repeated behavior becomes non existent. You don’t change the behavior because it’s a by product of the conditioning. When there’s quietness instead of conditioning there won’t be any repeated behavior associated with the conditioning.

This is immensely valuable in understanding the incessantness of the mind. If quietness isn’t brought into your life the noise in the head will continue to run the show. It really is that simple. You have been conditioned to act in repeated ways, whether those ways are beneficial to yourself, others, the planet, and the Universe as a whole, depends on what the base of those ways are. Their base is what determines the results of our decisions and how they affect the entire Universe. You may not think you acting in a self serving way affects the Universe, but how can it not. Energy is energy, never created or destroyed, simply transformed.

No act is isolated from itself, whether based in love or greed, hate, and delusion; it affects the whole. But the real issue is getting to know how the repeated reactions of your mind makes your decisions for you. Change comes when this is realized and than different behavior can be selected. Your own mind will fight you on this, it makes you think the unknown is not good, but it’s only a story because everything that is known today was once unknown at some point. So learn to quiet the squirrel cage mind so the repeated reactions aren’t on automatic pilot. You’ll be amazed with the way life changes because when you start to do things differently and act in ways that are conducive to love suffering lessens. Its truly that simple, but because the mind likes to revert to what it knows change is not easy…
