How Can I Overcome My Past Mental Conditioning?
Rupert says it's one thing to recognise that the conditioning of the ego is impersonal. It's quite another thing to say that there is nothing you can do about it — that's what Neo-Advaita says. I acknowledge that there is nobody who is personally responsible for their personal conditioning — however, I do think that at the relative level there is something to be done. What is there to be done? To explore our experience.
When you say conditioning masks the presence of awareness, you're slipping back into an old habit or belief system. If you believe that, that's how it will seem to be. Just stop believing that. How do you stop believing that? By seeing that it is not true. In other words, it is understanding that enables you to stop believing that your conditioning masks the peace and happiness that are inherent in your own being.

Perfectly clear and luminous explanation. Thank you, Rupert.

If I think of a screen, I think of a surface. I like the idea of focus having depth or the infinite leads me forward along a narrow path.

1. Direct all your energy, awareness, and attention to the present moment. Forget all tasks, people, and commitments. Simply rest in your beingness.
2. Now, become conscious of all the sounds made by the other egos around you. Listen without any reaction. Gradually spread your consciousness further around you, slowly encompassing all space, from your surroundings to covering the entire known universe. Now, let your consciousness loose so that it stretches to infinity.
3. With the awareness of infinite consciousness, time and space cease to exist, and so does the ego. You can witness that this infinite consciousness is the plain in which all worlds, both dull and bright, are created.
4. Meditate on this infinite awareness, or pure consciousness. It is not matter, but a wave, finer than air. The more you meditate, the mind will dissolve and you will realize that all conditioning was of the mind, but now that there is no mind, there is no conditioning.
Life is nothing more than one condition after another after another after another and here we are. A million other conditions are constantly coming at us and our conditioned mind reacts over and over. How do you find peace in this?

A great man once said "I am with you always" and it makes a lot more sense now in light of what Rupert just said. The Light of our Being is always present in every experience, no matter what that experience is. Thank you.

"Conditioned" & PROGRAMED
Ответить
SELF1: conditioned by past experience.
SELF2: judges Self 1, wants to change Self 1.
This mental partion is the core mechanism of Self-- help, improvement, enlightenment etc.
This guys never makes any sense, just world salad

Just step out of your body folks, this will set you free from anything.......
But no......they don't, they rather stick to their bodies moaning and wasting time, not accepting the sub reality we are living in.
Just experience this reality, manifest your god-like inner source, via the body, and surrender to it.
Your body and mind is a ( sub ) reality, a part of your identity in this material world, not all but a part, a tool.
Things do not have to be " that " or "this", this can be also both ha ha ha the drop and the ocean..........
Great 👍👍👍

As a teacher of Spinoza and Gurdjieff works, that courage, enlightenment, and freedom from pain and suffering are possible when we understand the laws that influence our nature.

Thanks for the brief mention about the absolute level and the relative level.

I see the light, I wish I hear more on the topic of fear, phobia and similar weights one might carry.
