Unknowingly Attavhed

When you’re under the control of the Conditioned Mind you behave in ways not because it's the way you want to be, you behave in ways because it's the way you have to be…

It was a lack of understanding of what I was truly up against that caused me to remain attached to it, and what I was attached to was my own mind that was conditioned to self serve. The problem with this type of conditioning is it causes your own destruction because the destructiveness is disguised as pleasure. This pleasure is pursued by many to their death. It was pursued by me in this way and I was at it's mercy. It said to me to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, womanizing, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how the Conditioned Mind is developed except for some who are fortunate enough to see this at a young age.

The way I was conditioned wasn't the fault of anyone in particular, it was instilled indirectly by the inner and outer influences of my life which molded me to behave in the ways my conditioning dictated. Not because this is how I wanted to be, but by not understanding this it was the way I had to be. You cannot behave in any other way except in the way you have been conditioned. Change the conditioning and change your entire existence or not and remain the same. The value of knowing my own mind is in the understanding there was no where else to turn; not to God, support groups, therapy, self help books, positive thinking, and so on. What I learned is when the Conditioned Mind is understood, the world is no longer in control, it's control slowly dissipates as one develops discipline; the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs the possibilities are endless because there are no longer the distractions that keeps you attached to the conditioning. With this solid understanding of what you’re truly up against, you’ll be able to develop the necessary discipline so the conditioning eventually falls away…
