Conditioning

                                                      

                               Human conditioning are the conditions exposed to human beings which shape their nature and gets them used to certain situations and circumstances accordingly.Childhood upbringing, education, the role of our soulmates, media, society and the world are the various influential mediums that may characterize different individuals into the present state they are in.We are taught different manners and behaviour to present ourselves in a certain way during childhood by our parents, the education we get during our schooling, college and University levels,programmes us maybe not into the real role models we want to be, we may start behaving differently and start putting on great acts to suit our soulmates nature after we get married, the media may adapt our life into a completely hi-fi and modernized one and the society and the demands of the world may still need us to present ourselves in a completely different manner.The  only obstruction  that these mediums play is not getting us to shape up our real nature and not  getting ourselves into our own kind of genuine individuals we want to be.

                                   Let us look at what human conditioning can do to our lives and to the state of affairs in the beautiful planet we live in. Human conditioning either makes or breaks. To put it into more simpler terms, it either helps in the upliftment of the individual, society and the world or degenerates and harms the sole, society and the entire planetary system. I have seen a complete country bumpkin turn into a live-in relationship ideologist overnight because of the effect television had on her right in my house.It may harm the relationship of a Divine pair when one of them perceives that getting physical is the only source of fulfillment whereas the other one champions true and pure love as a means of fuelling the relationship, human conditioning may propel the Islamists and Muslims to launch a Jihad on the lives of innocent people whereas Prophet Mohammed was really implying to launch the real Jihad on the individual human ego, conditioning can even start a second World War with Adolf Hitler trying to build a majority of the human race with the blood of the courageous and battle loving Aryan people whereas God was targetting  a spiritually feasible planet with a total rein on world violence.

                        On the positive side, a Mahatma Gandhi drives away the British colonial rule waging a movement adopting the path of non-violence. A Lionel Messi is born and takes over all the soccer attention who perceives that being a good human being is far more important to him than being voted the best soccer player in the world. Nuclear strong nations see the growing nuclear proliferation issue and the growing need for world peace and effect a treaty stopping the further development of nuclear weapons. The search for the eternal quest produces spiritual super heroes like a Dr. Wayne.W. Dyer, Dipak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle and the great Sri Sri Ravishanker.

                             We have now seen what conditioning can do to our individual lives, and to the priceless lives around us. The great spiritual giants like a Sri Sri Ravishanker are doing terrific work on the spiritual level and in my perspective, there should be an awareness among people at how negative conditioning can totally decapacitate and create a havoc in individual lives, the society and our most beautiful planet earth.The parents should train their children correctly, the education system should do the necessary front while educating their students, human relationships ought to be unconditional and true love need to be established only with compatible soulmates, the media needs to be positively enriching and overpoweringly healthy and the role of the society shall modify accordingly with the positive modification of the individual people.

                             Let me give you an example of a conditioning about a so-called spiritual legacy left behind by a Non-Being saint (Osho) who was and is still believed by many superstitious people to take over the reins of the World teacher.This particular spiritual teacher underwent a terrible hallucination about the existence of the Non-Existence whereas the only valid reality about the entire Cosmos is the prevalent Being or the Existence theory.This Non-Being saint spearheaded his Non-Being movement in the world with sex and wealth as the main thrust. He professed that sex is an effective medium to reach an aspirant to the state of Enlightment or the state of Samadhi and we have these poor innocent disciples of his going ding-dong like a pendulum between two strokes of life and death, shooting their semi-automatics into their respective firing ranges never even getting an inkling what the Ultimate state of Nirvana is about their entire spiritual careers. “Oh my good gosh! What’s happening! A whole succession of spiritual fanatics aspiring to get Enlightened by engaging in a practice as playing a game of marbles.” Only true celibates like a J.Krishnamurti have that rare capacity to get Enlightened, not sex maniacs. Now, don’t we, my dear readers think it to be quite an astonishing idea to conceive of the state of the most Supreme Reality to be attained by instrumenting a total unreality, an unrealistic medium as sex? How can a spiritual exercise exercised at the sex center elevate an individual to the Ultimate spiritual peak, the state of Nirvana? These poor innocent disciples of his don’t realize that his spiritual legacy is only an effort to build a very magnifying movement around him and if possible the entire world swept  to his feet by conniving to become a World teacher with sex as the prime instrument. Why? Because sex is the greatest demand in the world after money, a favourite pastime which almost every individual would think of like spending every second of the day and night if given the chance.This is just an example of what conditioning can do to peoples lives.

                          What do we now think is the only nature without any conditioning? The only nature without any conditioning is the spiritual, soul or God nature because the psyche nature is about being a genuine nature. Now would we think the real nature of humans which is only about reality would be with any sort of conditioning attached to it? Conditioning and the real nature or authenticity are separate fields. How can conditioning ever tag along with our real nature which is pure God? This is the only reason why achieved souls are authentic and without any conditioning.

                       As my article is now finished I would want to retire to bed. I have only one well rehearsed prayer to God before dozing off to sleep. “Dear God! In all of my innumerable future lives to lead in the Cosmos you may condition me accordingly to suit your mission in the Universe. But tonight, I fervently pray to you that you become compassionate enough for me so that this child of yours shall never be conditioned by your Will to become an atheist in his future lives in the Cosmos but shall always be conditioned by your Will to live to be your most greatest devotee. Thank you, God,” and I sincerely pray to God that this be the very prayer while lying ailing on my deathbed.
