Evolutionary Enlightenment in Hamilton Montana

We had class two in Evolutionary Enlightenment in Hamilton Montana yesterday. We were talking about the global context in which we all live. How societies have evolved from tribal, to national, and then global, and that the next change needs to be a change to a cosmo-centric orientation. As we were talking, the enormity of our cultural conditionings became obvious. Not only are we conditioned to our post-modern culture, but we still retain conditionings from all the previous stages - especially because there are still many cultures on the planet operating within the previous stages of conditioning.

I can remember taht I used to think of conditionings as something the society maliciously did to us. And, consequently, if we lived in a "good" society, or an "enlightened" society, that it wouldn't condition us. now I realize that it is the natural state of a human being to be conditioned. In fact it's an evolutionary wonder ath enabled our survival. This tendency and reality is totally integral to our human nature - and yet we have an ability to bring illumination to this part of our self. Amazing.

That's a lot of conditioning, and, consequently, a lot of ego. As we were talking, I thought that our particular conditionings for any given time are in-built structures. It's deep, like the structure of our pallet that is formed as a young child when we learn a language. It seems that the native language we learn actually forms our pallet physically, so that if we learn a language after the age of 12 or so, we can't ever speak the new language accent free. A person who learns a new language has to work to form the words with as little accent as possible. So it's safe to assume that a person born and raised in a particular tier of development would have to apply consciousness their whole life to go beyond the "ego' created by that  tier.

Good news is that we all are capable of tremendous amounts of will and intelligence. With practice and care we can bring large quantities of light and illumination to our inner reality and learn to respond to life from a totally different tier than we were born in. That is liberation.
