The only thing it can do about it, is stop reacting to it. It's like a meat eater who decides to go vegeterian. He can stop eating meat, but his mouth will salivate anyway, anytime he passes a barbecue, and the smell of roasting meat hits his nostrils. And that's a fat, I mean fact.

Do you know the difference between conditioning samskaras vasanas tendencies attributes, or is your mind stuck at the level of pavlov's dog?....ONS...Tony.

P:What I meant is that the mind is born with this natural tendency to think good of itself. To have this self-confidence, and positive attitude enhances survival, and thus it is passed along to future generations. That doesn't mean that this tendency can't be overwritten and make null by negative nurturing and trauma, or illnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt you are going to sell me any of those secondhand concepts you are peddling. How about you? Any chance you would buy my doggy talk? LOve, and mucho namaste with Tobasco sauce.

" good " is such a relative term, I tend to believe that Life......loves being.......but being wired to love its self.....or the identification with " self " :...... hmmmmmmmm... I suppose that the phantom .........is inclined to .........think good of itself.......... but........its hard to get a good look at it....when the only eyes that it has are stuck in its own head..............LOL now......what were we talking about Pete?
