The familiar behavior of a Conditioned Mind can be devastating if it’s not understood. The familiar behavior manifests in many ways. When the mind quiets it falls away; that’s when life truly begins…
The reason why it’s so difficult to change is because the mind defaults to familiar behavior; to the point of its own suffering. The conditioning must be changed if the familiar behavior is to be changed. If this isn’t identified the behavior repeats over and over, that is until the necessary practice is cultivated to stop this. If nothing changes nothing changes. If the conditioning is changed the familiar behavior becomes different. You don’t change the behavior because it’s a by product of the conditioning. When there’s quietness instead of conditioning there won’t be any familiar behavior associated with the conditioning.
This is immensely valuable in the understanding of familiar behavior. If quietness isn’t brought into your life, the familiar noise in the head will continue. You have been conditioned to behave in familiar ways, whether those ways are beneficial to yourself, others, the planet, and the Universe as a whole, depends on the base of your conditioning. The base is what determines the results of your decisions and how they affect the entire Universe. You may not think acting in a self-serving way affects the Universe, but it does. Energy is energy, never created or destroyed, simply transformed.
No act is isolated from itself, whether based in love, greed, hate, or delusion; it affects the whole. The real issue is getting to know how your familiar conditioning makes decisions for you. Change happens when this is realized; that’s when different behavior arises. Your own mind will fight you on this, it makes you think the unknown is not good, but it’s only a story because everything that is known today was once unknown. So learn to quiet the squirrel cage mind so the familiar behavior isn’t the automatic way to go. You’ll be amazed with the way life changes when you start to do things differently and act in ways that are conducive to love. It’s truly that simple, but because the Conditioned Mind likes to revert to familiar behavior, change is not easy…
