Ignorantly Conditioned

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

It was a lack of understanding of my ignorance that caused me to remain unaware of the control my mind had over me. I wasn’t aware of how my mind was ignorantly conditioned to self serve. The problem with this ignorant conditioning is it causes your own demise because 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 its mercy. It said to me to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, womanizing, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how the ignorant conditioning is reinforced daily by many; there are those who are fortunate to wake up and see this at a young age.

The way I was ignorantly conditioned wasn’t the fault of anything in particular. It happened indirectly by the loveless distractions influencing my life which molded me to behave in the ways my ignorance dictated. This was not because this is how I wanted to be, but by not understanding my ignorance, this is the way I had to be. You cannot behave in any other way except in the way you have been ignorantly conditioned. Change the ignorance and change your entire existence, or not and remain ignorant.

The value of not being ignorantly conditioned is in the understanding there’s nowhere else to turn but inward; not to God, support groups, therapy, self help books, positive thinking, and so on. What I learned is when ignorant conditioning is understood, it’s no longer in control. I also learned its control slowly dissipates as discipline is developed; the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs, the possibilities are endless because the distractions that keep you ignorantly conditioned are revealed. With this understanding of what you’re truly up against, you’re able to develop the discipline necessary so the ignorant conditioning eventually falls away…
