Post 19

We are conditioned to automatically and unconsciously think and perceive in certain ways. I believe the individuals who implement and maintain such conditioning are themselves largely unaware of what they are doing, for they themselves were and are conditioned. Thus the vast majority of people are caught, stuck, in negative imprinted thought patterns, unable to perceive beyond the limits imposed on them by culture.

A powerful thought revolution or paradigm shift occurs in culture and society when individuals directly express ideas, insights, that go beyond and thus challenge the picture of reality impressed upon them. I thus find that largely what I am trying to do is think beyond what and how I have been taught to think. I feel like I am constantly trying to think on a level or plane different, alien, to the level I have been encouraged to think on, trying to find words or ideas to ground and become more aware of my particular ways of perceiving reality. This is a difficult task but one which is necessary for development and growth.
