The moment we think about society as a group of beings living in organisations called communities, it is the moment we understand we are singular but part of a group at the same time. As singular beings we have the capability to think, observe, and understand things happening inside and in the vicinity, while we have just the ability to control the self. We do things on our own but we are influenced by what the group, the community, think about what we are doing, and it happens in a conditioned and unconscious way. If we get conscious to realise that we see the aforementioned conditioning is the base of discrimination. The more we get conscious about any action performed by the self, the more we understand we may get discriminated against, or not feeling part of that group, if such actions differ from what the conditioning says. The moment we realise what discrimination looks like, it is the moment we understand it is grounded on conditioned and unconscious ways.
It is not so difficult to realise conditioning is part of our life, and it is a wonderful tool at hand if used together with consciousness. If we are conscious we need to enhance our strength, we know we have to perform the conditioning of our body to keep up with such enhancement. If we are conscious we need to enhance our knowledge, we know we have to perform the conditioning of our brain to acquire and retain that knowledge to be used as we please, and in the right way. The idea of conditioning is to improve the self, being used together with consciousness to surpass the limits we think are at the top of a mountain. Conditioning is not something we should use to restrict or restrain what actions whether we perform.
If we ground ourselves in our love nature we are able to understand that the conditioning of not doing what we would like to do happens more than we imagine. We do no think about if others would approve what we are doing, we just do not consider doing because we have been conditioned to, and that conditioning is reinforced by what we call discrimination.
Based on that principle it is easy to see why the self may be influenced by the group, and the group may perform discriminatory acts against someone else. Suffering is in the roots of society by the simple fact that people have not been trained to think about what they do, but just do without questioning. Therefore, we observe a mind in suffering performing terrorist acts, and minds in suffering discriminating, and promoting the killing of lives with no understanding about the source of the problem we are facing.
The moment we realise discrimination is an unconscious answer we give to something we cannot comprehend, it is the moment we understand why love is based on a non-judgemental way of life.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
