What Are We A Produce Of?

Family, environment, media, religion, books, the internet, God … ? As long as our minds are full of something, we are influenced, and we become the product.

In the ordinary run of things, we are the ultimate culmination of what we consume and experience. Our minds act as a sponge, absorbing everything from our upbringing and family dynamics to the digital age of social media algorithms and the internet.

Our earliest blueprint of family traditions, socioeconomic status, and childhood environment wire our initial belief systems, emotional responses, and survival instincts. The human mind is highly suggestible. It constantly absorbs, processes, and replicates the information it receives.

A full mind is an influenced mind, an infected mind. This physically rewires the brain based on repetitive thoughts and stimuli. If we don’t consciously choose what fills our mind, the external world will choose for us. Look around – people are absorbed in their invention.

Just be aware of your mental status. Ask, “Why am I bound to these ideas?” The reason we meditate is to identify these fixations. This is why we’re here. Even if they’re good ideas, words are not our reality. The observation is.
