What Causes Our Reactions?

Reaction: done again.

If we do not understand the cause of our doing-it-again, we become fixed in our ways of thinking. Why is this so important to understand? Even if we do not know what causes our reactions, others do, and take advantage of this information. There is a psychology out there that can instigate and perpetuate our reactions – when we think we are thinking for ourselves. It is based on our personal likes and dislikes. When we’re indifferent to the cause of our reactions, we can then be swayed one way or another, as our indifference or ignorance is noted.

Such manipulation is deep-rooted, and means that we don’t notice this theme running throughout our history.

Psychology is so refined that we can be made to believe black is white and white is black, that good people are bad and bad people are good, that boys can be girls and girls can be boys, that left is right and right is left. As long as we believe in something – anything – we are caught and held in purgatory, being purged of realising our true nature of pure consciousness and wisdom. It’s the opposite of what we think ‘purifying’ is.

Our minds are constantly being prepared for future discord. Psychologists know about brand awareness, where the brain lights up when presented with an image, before we are even aware of it (and most people haven’t a clue what is happening to them). All uniforms and robes create brand awareness, where we automatically become humble, subservient and worshipful.

What causes our reactions?
Identity.

Togal is realising the spectral appearances in the mind;
it is the gap of sanity seeing through the mind’s illusions.

A reaction to an illusion is the magician’s trade marK.

Whatever you think is happening,
consider the opposite.
