How Programmed and Conditioned are You?

Hi Friend,

Have you ever thought about whether the things you choose, like, and do, are genuinely yours? Or have you just been controlled by the invisible strings of puppet masters, through programming and conditioning? From childhood, we soak up information like sponges, unknowingly internalizing social norms, cultural expectations, and even the unwritten rules of school. I myself have had to reprogram and deprogram my mind on so many different topics and beliefs, which came from somewhere outside of me, and not always comfortable to look at and deal with. It has become a never ending practice, to feel and delete programs which no longer serve myself, nor the world around.
