CondiHoning Is All These CondiHons
Conditioning is the whole setup of body-mind identification; the direct path is to look at the sense of 'I am' itself, distinguishing existence from its content, to reveal the free witness awareness.
Key Teachings
- Conditioning is not just thoughts but the entire body-mind organism identification with name, form, and roles
- The sense of 'I am' (existence) is distinct from the content of 'I am' (the story, history, conditioning) - one can be pointed to while the other falls away
- The path is not to fight conditioning but to see through it by looking at the 'I am' - the sense of being itself, which reveals the witness awareness
