Another thought was that our subconscious is really our 'reality' and that humans are closer to behaving like animals than we like to think. A lot of little kids need to be taught not to bite or push when they don't get their own way. It's instinctual for some. Not everyone is born with a personal guidance system. It's the old nature vs nurture question. I don't think conditioning is therefore a bad word. I have to disagree and say that I think that as a society we've created sets of 'rules' to make the majority of the population more comfortable. We want structure, in essence. Those rules may be changing now ( as they have many, many times in the past) but we will come up with new ones to replace the outdated. Not that I don't agree with you, Trace, just looking at it from another angle. Interesting subject no matter how you slice it!

We are all born with our own personal guidance system and we need to trust that more than anything else. When we do we are perfectly aligned with our authentic selves and feel great! We didn't come into this world thinking "I'm going to let everyone I meet mold me into what they want me to be" instead I believe we came into this world excited to contribute by being our unique true selves and allowing everyone we meet to do the same. We just forget sometimes. Yep. We are all born with our own personal guidance system and we need to trust that more than anything else.
