Why we can transcend conditioning

We can transcend conditioning because we have the faculty of self-awareness. We can be aware of our conditionings, - the associations we've created. We can observe and witness our reactive behaviors, thoughts and emotions...

We can be self-aware of our responses and stimuli connections, and witness these as if 'outside of our body'�

Just as you can observe yourself reading right now in this room� and observe your internal voice as you are reading this now� You can now observe your body� you can observe your senses� you can observe your thoughts, your actions, your emotions� detached from your body� right here, right now�

An animal does not have this power. Unlike animals, we can transcend conditioning, we can break through habituations, - because we can become aware of what we are conditioned. An animal doesn't know it is being trained. It isn't aware that it is an odd reaction to salivate at a sound, - even though there is no food. It has no 'self-observation' capacity that it is doing it... It just reacts, as it was programmed and trained to react.

That is how elephants are 'conditionally chained' by flimsy ropes. Through training with heavy chains while young, elephants can be held captive by mere symbols, - as the past restrictions, set the boundaries of limitation as unquestionably real for the rest of their lives. Elephants have no self-awareness of their own proportion and strength to the ropes that have been emotionally charged with limitations�

Self-awareness is our unique capacity to observe our existence and understand our potential. It is from within this capacity that we gain the perspective and space for change.

We can release conditioning because we have the fundamental faculty of rational conscience, our ability to realize our soul purpose. We can connect with our authentic intentions and foundation for meaning, in recognition of:

What am I here as a self-aware being, on this planet to be, to do?

What is my authentic purpose?

What makes life truly worth living?

When you integrally answer for yourself these essential questions, you will recognize that you indeed have a higher purpose, a greater significance to your life, than mere survival.

And here is our real motivation capacity. It is because we have the power to realize higher value intentions, that we can change limitations. Without meaning and purposefulness, we could not change our conditioning, because we could not inspire ourselves to act despite the attraction of conditioned patterns. We can transcend neurological links, because we can connect with higher and more appealing values. And this sense of meaning and purpose is what gives us the drive to move beyond restrictions.

Our soul purpose is what empowers the desire for better responses in our thinking, in our actions. We have the capacity to assimilate reason� to connect with the knowledge of 'why', - that is beyond words� that aligns with our identity and strikes our emotional center.

An animal has survival needs only. It doesn't feel that there is a bigger 'meaning' to its life, it isn't striving for self-actualization. As long as it has its survival needs met, it is content. In order for an animal to even consider creating a new response out of a conditioned pattern, - it would need a reason, a knowing why, - to give rise to thoughts of better possibilities� And that is what our soul purpose gives.

We can change, because we also have imagination. Our genius can facilitate possibility thinking. We can imagine beyond the limitations of our past. We can inspire potentials that are outside our learned reactive attitudes. We can envision higher thoughts and positive ways of acting, - removed of conditioned associations�

Imagination connects us with our creative soul intelligence that has no limits. This creative faculty allows us to reach for knowledge that is beyond what we have assimilated in our memories. We can imagine beyond limits, - because our genius is beyond limits.

This unlimited creativity springs forth from the fundamental structure of our beingness. In our imagination, we can gather the resources that allow us to notice the options for transcending conditioned responses.

Unlike humans, animals cannot imagine alternatives outside of what instinct and training has taught them. Only humans have a capacity that extends beyond memories and instincts, and taps into the creative reservoir of absolute knowledge. We have the capacity to be divinely inspired, and extend with thought, in any direction we choose.

And lastly, we can let go of the painful and confining mindsets, because we have the capacity of free will. In other words, when all is said and done, we always have the decision power upon how we act, despite emotions, despite situations� We have the unique freedom to decide and act regardless of conditions� We have the freedom to will.

As conscious beings we can recognize that in fact, - we are always choosing. Choices are inevitable and continuous... And we are responsible for the actions we express� the thoughts that we perceive the world with� the emotions we immerse ourselves in�

In the amount of a present instant, we can decide and choose. Irrespective of the attractive force of conditioned thoughts and emotions, we can decide our imagined desire, and cut off from any other possibility. We can choose to resolve our mind, - and act.

No limitation is real, unless we allow it to be.

Our capacity to change is possible because we have the power to will our desires.

We can facilitate choices for reason.
