Belief Systems

When you are conditioned to believe anything as a child whether that be a religion, a culture, what you see on TV or even if you aren't allowed to watch TV, this is conditioning. And this conditioning is the beginning of your belief system.

You can fully accept what you are told (which is what usually happens if you are under 9 or 10), or you can think your parents are completely crazy or the people in your church or all churches are kind of crazy or any combination of things.

I think what is important about all this is to realize you have been brainwashed as a child and at some point it might be important to question all this as to what you want to keep and what you want to jettison or get rid of.

Because otherwise you will never be an actual adult but only an echo of one.

What do you believe?

What do you want to Believe?

What is real?

Where are you going?

Where have you been?

If you have never asked these questions "Why?"

IF your belief system isn't hard fought and hard won then it likely isn't very important to you.

This is something to think about.
