CHANGE
YOUR CONDITIONED MIND, CHANGE YOUR LIFE”
Our life experience is limited to the extent of how well our
internal world is programmed. If one starts to experience this truth, it is not
only inspirational but very liberating too. Personally, this is my experience
of life. Such an experiential knowledge changes the way how one perceives the
life. There was a shift that happened within me during the process of my
personal transformation. Today, after eight years, if I look at the kind of
people whom I deal on day today basis in my current life with the set of people
whom I moved with eight years before, they are totally two different set of
tribes. This alone is a proof of how our internal programming determining the
external reality.
Intellectual base:
Let me try to
convince your rational brain to buy this idea. Consider a scenario of two
friends taking a walk to the park in the neighbourhood. The experience of walk
in the park is not the same for both of them even though the place & time
of the visit are preciously the same. The experience of one person is
completely different than the experience of another person.
The above example demonstrates the different lenses that
every one of us carries. Yes, we use filters while perceiving the events. This
filter makes our experience different than the experiences of others.
Filter:
If your filter is
good then you experience a wonderful life. If you experience hardship of the
life then it is time to change this filter. What is this filter? Our past
experiences of life are a set of collective database stored as our faith &
belief structure. Our conditioned mind operates from this database which
preciously acts as a filter. We say the mind is conditioned because it can’t
act beyond the limits of this database.
In other words, my life experience is simply a construct of
my conditioned mind. In fact, this is our internal programming.
Mind-Body Practice:
So, changing your
life experience is as simple as changing the way your conditioned mind works.
This requires bit of regular mind-body practice. This practice makes you to
become aware of the conditioned mind and hence get an opportunity to manage the
conditioned mind.
Experiential knowledge:
Above, I have given an intellectual base to convince your
thinking brain. So, you now know the value of such a belief. But, “knowing” is
different than “owning”. If you want to own this then you need to integrate this
belief experientially through mind-body practice or some other practical means.
Once when you experience this faith then you know that you
are the architect of your reality. This faith is an immense power. The way how
you perceive your life is no longer the same. You live like you never lived
like this before!!
Summary: External Reality is the mirror image of our internal
state. Our life experience is limited to the extent of how well our internal
world is programmed. (Or) My life experience is simply a construct of my
conditioned mind.
