The echoed reactions of a Conditioned Mind can be devastating if they’re not understood. They manifest in many ways, but when the mind is quiet many fall away; that’s when life truly begins…
The reason why it’s so difficult to do things differently s because the mind defaults to echo reactions; even to the point of its own destruction. The conditioning must be seen if the echo behavior is to be different. If this isn’t identified the behavior is echoed over and over, that is until the necessary practice is cultivated. If nothing changes nothing changes. If the conditioning is changed the echoed 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 echoed behavior associated with the conditioning.
No act is isolated from itself, whether based in love or greed, hate, and delusion. The real issue is getting to know how the echoed reactions of your mind makes your decisions for you. Change comes when this is realized and then 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 echoed reactions aren’t on automatic pilot. You’ll be amazed with the way life becomes different because when you start to do things differently and act in ways that are conducive to love, suffering lessens. It’s truly that simple, but because the mind likes to revert to what it knows, changing the echoed reactions is not easy…
