"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend." ~ Henri Bergson
Our eyes are not the controller of what we see, our brain is. Imagine our eyes as a detector that sends stimuli signals to our brain. Our brain then processes what we see. Therefore our brains control what we see, not just our eyes. What does this mean?
A paradigm is a lens through which we see the world. Every person views the world differently, and can view the same thing in a completely different way. The universe is infinite: with free will and infinite choices. Because of this, no two people anywhere are experiencing the same reality. All of our realities are unique to our own experiences, perceptions and levels of consciousness we have attained.
Social conditioning
When we change the way we look at things, our lives can drastically change. Our paradigms are the way we see the world, our behaviors and attitudes as well as our relationships with others. To change your own life into an outstanding one, you have to be able to rise above what psychologists call social conditioning. What is social conditioning?
Social conditioning is certain behaviors, desires, emotional reactions and beliefs that are approved by society standards. By rewarding certain behaviors, you are reinforcing them and punishing other behaviors that don't fit within society standards. This is known as classical conditioning, which is the repetition of the same simple message over and over again until the mind gives in and absorbs them. This is often used to train laboratory rats, dogs, horses and others.
These messages can vary depending on person to person. For example when your parents tell you what you should or shouldn't do or advertising shows us what to do and not to do to be "successful."
The truth is that we have been taught and conditioned our whole lives by our parents, family, friends, peers, teachers, elders, leaders and politicians that there is only one reality and one universe but that is not true. Social conditioning are certain behaviors, desires, emotional reactions and beliefs that are approved by society standards.
Your own social conditioning starts as soon as you are born into this world, and progresses with age throughout childhood and adolescence. It doesn't end there, it goes on your entire life. We are influenced by parents, family, friends, teachers, pastors, priests, government officials, celebrities, peers, colleagues, people in your community, the media, books you ready and the ads you see.
My Mom who is a narcissist projects her feeling of unworthiness onto me ever since i can remember. Because of this, I grew up having complexes about myself that weren't really my complexes they were hers. For example she had complexes with her weight, body, height, calves, low self worth, not loving herself, co dependency patterns and not being good enough that she passed down to me. It wasn't until after my spiritual awakening I realized that these were her issues, NOT mine! She still tries to project her feelings of unworthiness onto me but I can now see thru her actions and don't take it personally anymore. Since she no longer has the ability to control and manipulate me, as I took my power back from her and did it ever feel good! I know realize that her words, actions and feelings has everything to do with her and nothing to do with me.
Open you mind
When you open you mind up to infinite possibilities you can then see things in another light. Being mindful and seeing things in a different way dramatically changes the way we react to different situations which therefor changes your life in fundamental ways.
Please remember you are an infinite being with unlimited abilities. Your only limitations you experience are your own that you believe in and thus accept into your reality. We are all one with everything and everyone.
