ego - a Habit - forming !

[Guest guest]

Mind is a 'habit forming' and 'habit

 

repeating' instruments. When, left on

 

its own, it merely repeats the 'habits'

 

and 'conditioning' already in place.

 

More it repeats, generally stronger

 

that habit and conditioning tends to get.

 

 

 

At smaller and more 'verifiable'

 

level, you can see it at the level of

 

someone quitting the habit of smoking,

 

drinking, coffee, sugar, TV serials,

 

" news " or ...even abusive behavior,

 

violent anger, self esteem, negative

 

thinking ...procrastination !

 

 

 

All these habits are usually formed by

 

repeating them over and over ...

 

 

 

Once the habit is formed, ...it seems

 

to have become " totally ingrained " , it

 

seems to have become an integral part

 

of you! In fact, you identify with and

 

you even begin to think, this is who I

 

am --- I am smoker, I have self esteem,

 

I am negative, I am lazy !

 

 

 

You even begin to think, ... " this is

 

who I am " , forgetting to examine,

 

.... " how it became ! "
