Are Traditions Another Form Of Subconscious Conditioning?

This Topic Seemed To Be My Highlight Of This Past Sunday.

After spending an amazing day with Sarah at Audubon Park and discussing life, the mind and traditions, this topic very quickly showed its head again at home.

When you set off on the path of enlightenment and self-discovery, it opens lots of doors and also some wounds from the old self you are detaching from.

So many things come into question from the programming you received from early childhood into adulthood. You take a step back and start to wonder, “when have I ever really thought for myself” and “when I question certain things, how will others look at me or view me?”

The leap of faith that is taken here, is one of complete stripping down of all old habits and traditions. Discovering who you are in total solidarity where no social media, outside influence or past biases can work your ego. A learning of letting go.

This place is quite scary, to be honest, but the more you persevere the universe unleashes synchronicities that cannot be ignored at all. Finding confidence in yourself and loving yourself exudes an energy that will not be ignored and has a ripple effect on everyone around you.

Sarah and I have been speaking tremendously on the subject of everything being connected, how energies work and the words you speak affecting you and others around you. We got on the topic of prayers and spells. Is there a difference and why does one seem to work while the other doesn’t. These are the kind of conversations we tend to have.

Also along this topic was how does use of these energy guided techniques affect someone that never asked for this energy to be sent or received.

The universe was definitely listening to our conversation because as soon as I got home the topic did present itself and this is where the breakdown of truth vs traditions comes into play.

My grandmother started on about a certain family member praying intensely and intently for another individual to change their ways. That only through prayer and possibly the mass prayer of others can this particular individual change their ways.

This really struck a nerve with me especially since Sarah and I just started discussing the intent of this energy.

Persons who practice and study in the spirit world and do healing and readings always ask the person who is seeking this knowledge or help that they have their permission to do this work on or for them. Doing so against someones permission and knowledge is opening or transmitting a negative energy that can have a detrimental effect on an individual.

So I quickly told my grandmother that will not change an individuals attitude or view on life what so ever. In fact, that is completely going against free will altogether.

I was actually repulsed thinking now back on how many of these mass prayers have been used out for people against their knowledge even if you think that is helping, selfless or god like.

Now you have a focused collective conscious of energies transmuting a change in someone’s heart or mind to go in line with your own thinking or programmed traditions. How is this right at all when you think about it?

I’m writing this article looking through a new set of lenses on how this entire world operates and how things that have just been normally done may have been impacting individuals lives without any clue to certain outcomes.

I firmly believe we are all connected to everything in the universe. Everything resides in a frequency and has patterns. Both light and dark. So in the most innocent of habits, it almost seems like you are casting spells out against someone without you even realizing it.

Sometimes there needs to be a checking of beliefs in one’s life because as the world starts to awaken and see things are definitely not what we have been taught.

We must all take the time to question fully what we have always practiced and believed as it impacts those all around us.

The mind is very fragile and we pick up on shifts of energies from all outside sources.

We need to mindful of how we project our thinking onto others and respect the space and thinking of everyone around us.

My quest in life is simply to have everyone question the core of their personal understandings and maybe unlock and uncover a new truth and gift that might have been robbed from them at an early age.

We are all truly astonishing beings and have unbelievable gifts begging to come out.

It all starts with willpower and effort to want to change yourself and not others around you.
