There\nis much confusion concerning karma, it isn\u2019t something that accumulates and\nthen judges what retribution will follow, no, karma happens all the time and\nevery day. Each moment that your impure thoughts and feelings live their life\nthrough you, you are creating these things in your life but in ways you do not\nexpect. Because you are thinking and feeling the same way, you keep creating\nthe same external environment over and over and react in a similar way that\nleads to similar thoughts and feelings that reinforce those same sort of\nconditions in your life. Untilyou change these patterns that, by\nrepetition, have become hard wired in your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s\nconsider the fact that I\u2019ve asked you to daily practice in the first period to\nlook back at an emotional event as if looking at a stranger so your emotional\nattachment to the event is somewhat less and to practice meditation and\ngenerate this non conditional love. The conditioning hardwire seeks to\nexperience what it is familiar with as that is the only way it can live through\nyou so it will generate thoughts like I am tired, so not today or I am too busy\netc. And it will also generate associated feelings to which you respond, in\nother words it seeks to make you uncomfortable with change. Your body as a\nwhole does this all the time, you might want to change your diet but the body\ndoesn\u2019t want to change what it knows so it will send thoughts such as I will\nstart next week, it makes me feel weak or I need different things to eat. And\nif you do start despite the mind coming up with excuses then it will trigger\nfeelings of discomfort or hunger etc. Not realizing these thoughts and feelings\nare not created by you but through you, you identify with them. They, these\nconditions, are ruling you and their awareness is heightened and see reasons,\nexcuses and causes in their likeliness all around them. The more we have let\nthis happen the bigger the role of the actors become (puppets on the stage) and\nlesser and lesser light of the flame can shine through and the further you are\naway of the frequency and power of the light in the back of the cave. And\neventually it will withdraw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\nneed to mention that this conditioning is not just of the things mentioned\nearlier but they are in our theories and\nbeliefs too. They all get hard wired (strengthening the connections of the\nsynapses). Scientists and priests alike look into the world through these\nconditioned viewpoints and it too will trigger defence or excuse etc. Not to go\nonto the unknown path, seeking the known. Even the innovative among them loose\nthe very ability to be open (close to the flame they experienced for a moment) because\nego, pride, selfishness, greed etc. can easily feed themselves on these things\ntoo. I bet you\u2019ve come across those who are full of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now\nmost of our thoughts and feelings come from our past experiences and therefore\nour memories, your brain is the hard disc that records everything you\u2019ve\nlearned and experienced. When you have an experience (aware of it or not) through\nall of your senses the data that flow into the brain cause neurons to organize\nthemselves into networks making patterns that reflect the outer experience and\nas soon as it makes those patterns the brain produces a chemical which is\ncalled a feeling or emotion and tends to make more long term memories as it sees\nor experiences similar events. As these connections or patterns cause these\nwirings to become stronger and stronger and the emotional chemicals strengthen\nmemories (even if you are not aware of it happening) and help you remember. So\nlearning something intellectually also causes new neural networks to form, and\nexperience then solidifies them due to the chemical emotion attaching giving it\na feeling. The stronger the feeling\/chemicals the easier you remember. Because whatever\nyou were hearing or seeing in that moment changed how you felt and that moment\nyou felt different your brain altered your state of awareness and paid\nattention to whatever it was that caused it. So thoughts of the brain and feelings\nof the body create your state of being. These two combined and repeated often\nenough, determine an attitude, so if you have negative thoughts that are\nconnected to bad feelings you\u2019ll express that in those moments, so those\nthoughts and feelings create your state of being, and attitudes are shortened\nstates of being and when you add them up they start to create a belief that is\njust a thought you keep repeating over and over again and solidify the wiring\nin the brain. And this conditioning creates the filters through which you see.\nAnd what\u2019s more, these experiences are connected to how we feel and when our\nbeliefs are then challenged, it typically doesn\u2019t feel right. So thinking and\nfeeling and feeling and thinking over time, let\u2019s say for example having insecure\nthoughts making them feel it, cause more insecure thoughts and so strengthen\nthe wiring of these pathways in the brain and chemicals\/feelings which lead to\nmore similar thoughts etc. These repeated cycles over time condition the body\nto subconsciously become the mind, once the body and mind are wired it becomes\na habit. These unconscious thoughts and unconscious emotions\/habits are the\nsoftware that run the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So\nthese repeating patterns are the personalized belief systems and subconscious\nstates of being, be it beliefs in god, a scientific theory, relationships,\nhealth and love, and all are based on past experiences but most of those beliefs\nwe don\u2019t even know we believe because we think they are true because they are\nnot acting in a conscious mind. These patterns of belief form what we call\nperceptions and have everything to do with the behaviours we show and the\nthings we create and choices we make. Beliefs are mainly states of subconscious\nbeing, meaning that most people view their lives through the past unconsciously,\nand it gives the impression of seeing reality. Have you ever done the \u201cfind the\ndifferences in two pictures\u201d and took time to find them? And once found they\nare easy to spot? It\u2019s not the eyes that see but your mind. So often reality is\nbased on the memory in the brain. If something isn\u2019t known it\u2019s hard to\nrecognize, but when the past overlays the present with our memory, we see them.\nThat\u2019s how our conditioning colours our present. Just think of the fear associated with that snake\nand making you jump when seeing a green garden hose in the corner of your eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All\nthese conditionings, and many you\u2019re not even consciously aware of, dictate your\npresent and determine your future. So you\u2019ll have to make a decision with very\nfirm intention that in order to change any belief or perception about ourselves\nand our lives, it has to have the high level of importance we place in that\ndecision and carries a level of energy that is more powerful than the hardwired\nprogramming of the brain and emotional conditioning of the body. And so the\nbody will have to respond to that new mind, which also means that the choice\nbecomes an experience that you\u2019ll not forget because the internal experience begins\nto reorganize the pathways in your brain and sends new emotional signatures in\nyour body and becomes free from that past. And this eventually leads to true\nfree will. But please remember that replacing memories with other memories\nisn\u2019t the kind of seeing we are aiming at eventually. So ask yourself who\ncauses the limitations in your life? I am sure you\u2019ve heard of people doing\nunbelievable feats in order to safe a loved one. They weren\u2019t thinking \u201coh my\ngod I can\u2019t lift up that beam to free him\u201d. In that moment they are not acting\nfrom a conditioned state of mind but move in absolute certainty. The energy to\ndo so is inherent in all matter, meaning many of your limitations are due to\nthe conditioning. And pay attention, your mind will likely make excuses wanting\nto hold on to its old idea that you can\u2019t, better the devil you know than the\none you don\u2019t. The unknown is something the brain will try to avoid. Whispering\nI can\u2019t, I\u2019ve tried, it\u2019s not my thing. Or for instance the fear off asking for\na job, a raise or help, or expressing our feelings towards someone in case it\u2019s\nrejected, so we continue and keep it to ourselves carrying a false hope that\neventually leads to disappointment, regret and pain. While expressing or asking\ndoesn\u2019t insure the answer you wish for, it would at least give you the answer\nthat enables you to either share or move on. How many stay in a situation they\nare unhappy in? Always talk about moving, do the job they really want, but\nnever do? If ideas and dreams are not followed by action, they stay ideas and\ndreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These\nkind of things strengthen the actors on the stage and as you get older your\ninner light starts to dim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back\nagain to your practice of looking at past emotional moments as if looking at\nsomeone else over and over so the emotion doesn\u2019t draw you in and makes you see\nthrough it. By this practice you\u2019ll be able to see a little more than at the\nactual time it happened, but what is most important is eventually seeing how\nthat limited view back then played a role in your life that followed in ways\nyou were not or hardly aware off. This knowledge was important so that you will\nstay more alert when thoughts and feelings arise, and start to identify less\nwith it, and at the same time override this wiring of the brain with the newly gained\ninsights, so your view becomes clearer and less influenced by those limiting points\nof view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And\nso we can also overcome its excuses not to set aside time every day to practice\nmeditation. It would be best in the morning, if you wake up 15 minutes earlier\nit would be enough. Your mind is also less cluttered with the daily things\nthen. Not following your breath but breathing in through the nose and imagining\ndrawing the breath from your feet all the way to the top of your head and let\nit flow back to the feet with breathing out, eventually becoming aware of the\nenergy flowing. Once you are able to be aware of this energy flow you can raise\nits speed going up and down, and by then you do your breathing without it being\nwhat leads the flow. Over time it will be so fast that it will be your whole body\nthat is filled without the sense of it going up and down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do\nthis without clinging on to thoughts that might arise. Continue this practice\nso that you can do this every morning before you start your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do\nnot forget to practice to remain alert during the day that it doesn\u2019t trick you\nto identify with the puppets\/actors on the stage! And keep in mind that each\nand every one suffers from that enslavement, so be compassioned and forgiving\nfor they do not know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And\ndo whatever you can not to add to their enslavement with a loving care whenever\nthe opportunity rises. Even if it doesn\u2019t seem to have an effect, it will have\nan effect on you. And make it your nature, a nature closest to the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
