Let us not be deceived - we are all conditioned

 Do not approach freedom until you understand the depth of conditionality. It is easy to be deceived because conditionality is behind the ideas of freedom. Freedom is where conditionality is not.

Conditionality is like glasses. They shape our perception, but we cannot see the shaping processes. Conditionality is not "bad" in itself but only does what it does, unconsciously shapes. But if you do not feel

the procedures, you will give wrong meanings to your perceptions, and thus you will feel and act incoherently. For example, a conditional assumption that is deeply ingrained is that security is gained by identifying who you are through various terms such as country, religion, type of music, or football club. Or more subtly with "truths" that you have discovered through experience. But these are ideas, not truths. To better understand this, we will take football as an example. A certain number of men run on a piece of inflated skin within a painted surface that has metal pillars at each end. This strange behavior can only make sense of conditional perception. If a Martian sees this sport, he may think there is no intelligent life on Earth.

Do not mistake thinking that conditioning is just an intellectual, philosophical construction that does not embrace our emotions and intuition. Such ideas lead us to believe that we can trust the "feelings in the stomach." But if emotions and feelings are not out of condition, what is?

"Our problem is: How do we free the mind?" And is it possible to free the mind - not in layers or parts, but entirely through the unconscious as well as the conscious? Or, should the mind ever be conditioned, shaped? You need to find out for yourself, not wait for someone to tell you if the reason can ever be free. Can the mind only think of freedom as a prisoner and thus be doomed to never be free, but always kept within the bondage of its conditionality.

Do you understand the problem? Can the mind ever be completely free, or is the very nature of the mind conditioned? If the fundamental quality of the reason is to be limited, then it is not in question that we will ever find out what reality is. Then we can say that God exists or that God does not exist, that something is good and something else is wrong, within the model of a given culture. But to know the truth, you have to ask yourself if the mind can really be free. It can be, which is not up to you to accept or reject. Maybe it's true, perhaps it's my opinion, my illusion. And you can not base your life on someone else's discovery, on his illusion, or on an idea. You must find out. - Krishnamurti

Conditionality is what deceives us.

Do not think about the idea of ​​unconditionality. It is another product of conditionality. Once we label conditionality as "bad," it is a conditional habit to conceptualize the opposite because it logically must be "good." But since it is an idea and not "what is," and to overcome the conditions, one should pay attention to "what is." "What is" is what can be learned directly from the senses. In fact, what happens without condemnation at the moment - whether it is the movement of the clouds or the sea or the feeling of anger or joy.

Conditioning is what deceives us. Understanding this is the first step. As with a magic trick, what we think is happening is not happening. Magicians use this vulnerability of ordinary perception to "deceive" their audience.

How can conditioning not deceive us? Perception is usually considered objective, rational, and passive understanding of what is there, but actively engaging in perception leads to delusions and deceptions. So, we typically believe that we see the objective reality in everyday life. But what if both the perception and the perception are created by the movements of conditioning. This can lead to confusion in perception.

Could this be a factor in why so many people develop a fixed view of what is genuine, honest, meaningful in their lives, so they can not adapt to what is new and different in their lives? In the words of Warren Buffett: "What man does best is to interpret all new information so that their previous conclusions remain unchanged."

Shock is when the truth knocks on the door to destroy the conclusion or assumption we strongly believed. The same can be said of the attitude when stubborn denial of reality is revealed. The knowledge you have accumulated may have some validity, but it is so limited and small compared to the unlimited unknown movement of life. When you see your "certainties" as they are, a sane mind can see that the actual security lies in the immense truth of the unknown.
