Fortitude Needed

Looking at yourself takes an amount of fortitude that most people will never possess because the conditioning in place won’t allow it. Until this changes the conditioning remains in control…

Everyday I’m amazed at the things people are hold onto, with the emphasis totally on satisfying a fictitious self. This is done without much consideration for anyone else and it’s strictly from a self-serving attitude. I know it’s because they know not what they do, but the suffering this causes and how it reinforces the conditioning in place can be truly disheartening. I said can be disheartening because if you’re truly awake there’s the understanding that the way things are is the way things are; wanting them different also reinforces the conditioning in place. I’m writing about this because there are answers that many don’t have the fortitude to embrace. It’s like there’s a cure for cancer, but some just won’t listen. Without going into specifics, the conditioned unconsciousness runs so deep that people will justify doing all kinds of selfish behavior without blinking an eye; drugs, alcohol, gambling, porn, rioting, protesting, total defiance for any authority, murder, rape, assault, robbery and looking inward, this is only the tip of the Conditioned Mind iceberg. 

Here’s why this is, at least from my experience. It’s much easier because of the way one is conditioned to justify selfish behavior than to have the fortitude to look at yourself. Looking at yourself takes an amount of fortitude that most people will never possess because the conditioning in place won’t allow it. Until this happens your conditioning remains in control. There’s really no way around this. You don’t have to save the world, but you have to have the fortitude to look inward so you can at least save yourself…
