Conditioning
How we respond to anything at all, is learned, hence, can be unlearned
Essence
Conditioning is our response to experience
e.g., Receiving a compliment may be responded with joy for one individual, or with shame for another
All our responses are conditioned
responses e.g., ideas, opinions, thoughts, movement of attention, emotions, liking&disliking
Conditioning is learned, hence can be unlearned or further learned
e.g., From anxious to calm or from calm to anxious
e.g., from angry to kind or from kind to angry
There is a system underlying conditioning, which allows us to start changing our responses to our liking
Elaboration
All your personality traits, all your reactions, all your opinions are learned and from the past.
Every moment you are training yourself how to respond, whether you want it or not. It is now up to you to take action or let your autopilot continue.
You have control over how you want to respond to your world of experiences.
The only thing you have to do is practice.
Majority of our negative responses are fueled by Interference & Non-Clarity, the opposites of Non-Interference & Clarity. The more we develop in the skills of Clarity & Non-Interference, the less negatively we respond.
