11. Chapter 2: Cultural Conditioning

In episode 11, I open the floodgates of chapter 2, Cultural Conditioning, by describing the indisputable fact that we are survival mechanisms at the end of the day. Our energy is based on how we respond to our natural and social environment. Without getting too deep into our unique subjectivity, we mustn’t forget that we are beings subject to our objectivity.

This is how we judge. But we can’t ignore the fact that this is something we can influence as free minds, using whatever bandwidth of free will we have, to determine what thoughts and feelings we want to experience or allow to manipulate our judgments in the first place.

Our inner kundalini becomes programmed based on what we fear and where our comfort zones and their parameters lie.

This chapter (in the segments to come) is loaded with neurocentric examples and neurobiological evidence that our minds are a reflection of our emotional environment. So, what better way to manipulate our mental energy than to get through to what energetic serpent lies within to toy with our emotional strings?

Our responsibility to be human means we need to learn how to be responsible. This means we need to reckon with our ability to respond in the first place and learn to master how we regulate our emotions in this body, here and now. This begins with learning how to self-direct our thoughts, which influence our feelings and emotions.

This is where we will learn to identify where and how we allow culture to guide our thinking and judgments. Because all culture is in the first place is a set of idealistic principles embedded in concepts and beliefs. Nothing more; not right or wrong, nor good or bad.

Until we learn how to break through our cultural paradigms, we will not know how to overcome our own personal program. That being our comfort zones and our autistic ways of individuality. See you in the next episode where we dive into the section of the book about the mammalian brain and its limbic system.
