THE ILLUSION OF CONDITIONING - ***A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!***
Gnostic
The person we are here has no connection to who we really are. Your name, your status and everything else about you was all created via environmental settings and faulty conditioning. There is a Real You beyond this elaborate stage, but it is deeply receded and at times completely blocked out in a thick type of cloud due to the new acting role you have been placed in and the personality that was developed via your circumstances and training.
We are all simply playing parts and because of it we could choose to be anything we wanted if we truly believed it was a choice and not a governed design by reason of what we were drafted into from the birth canal, even if the physical restricted one to limits.
Then one day I looked into the mirror and said, "who the hell am I," I am not this person that I pretend to be, I am not even sure I like this person. I spent years trying to qualify to be ME, and when the results were in, I realized I was anything but ME. I do not know what I was or who I was, but it wasn't ME. It was a blend of all sorts of personalities and traits from people I was raised with, but it was not the real ME. At times I would see the real ME as a flash of light, but the world did not accept that moment of glory so I crawled back into my shell.
Until we realize that we can become the controlling power of our own lives and be whatever it is we choose, we will always fall into these two separate, but equal categories.
You are not what this world says you are, you are not a waitress if you are a waitress, you are not a plumber if you are a plumber, you are not a carpenter if you are a carpenter, and most of all you are not really abnormal just because it is not normal. These are only things we portray, but cannot allow them to define us. Yet in this world we are only defined by what we do, not by who we really are. No one wants to know who they really are so they allow these fake illusions called jobs and other characteristics of class warfare to define them for them.
If you were born into a rich family in London, you are absolutely no different than a child born in poverty living in the wilderness of Africa. There are no races there is only humans that have been defined by classes. These classes actually help weak minded people to define themselves because they will not do it for themselves. Every child has the same ultimate potential. However we live in a world that is all role playing and often children are relegated to being something they are not just to fit into the role.
At any given time, any child or adult can change their circumstances simply by not accepting the role they have been confined to. All they have to do is create another role for themselves and begin to believe in it as much as they did the one they had prior. And one can continue to do this as often as they choose.
So the next time you look into that proverbial mirror, do not say this is who I am. Instead say look what I am capable of becoming. And then always realize that no matter what role you are playing that it is still never the real YOU, it is just another acting gig! It is not that you can create your own reality, there is no reality here except the experience, the only thing you can create is another illusion of YOU, so this time do it well!
It is possible to change everything about yourself, your ideas, emotions, abilities and status. The only thing that hinders this process is you begin to believe again that the role you were playing by virtue of being born into it is still you and you allow society to dictate that what you were born into has to remain you, and that is the construct of all failure.
