“It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood.”

“The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective.”

“To us, the high-resounding “isms” to which our contemporaries ask; us to give our allegiance, now, in 1948, are all equally futile: bound to be betrayed, defeated, and finally rejected by men at large, if containing anything really noble; bound to enjoy, for the time being, some sort of noisy success; if sufficiently vulgar, pretentious and soul-killing to appeal to the growing number of mechanically conditioned slaves that crawl about our planet, posing as free men; all destined to prove, ultimately, of no avail.”

“That tone and sound in speech have a conditioning quality is something we can verify from our own experience in listening to or in giving commands, or in dealing with our pets. Even the symbolic and semantic meaning of words can acquire a conditioning quality. The word "traitor," for example, provokes direct feelings and reactions in the minds of those who hear it spoken, even is this discriminatory label is being applied dishonestly.”

“He sat for some time, meditatively frowning, then picked up his pen and wrote across the title-page: "The author's mathematical treatment of the conception of purpose is novel and highly ingenious, but heretical and, so far as the present social order is concerned, dangerous and potentially subversive. Not to be published." He underlined the words. "The author will be kept under supervision. His transference to the Marine Biological Station of St. Helena may become necessary." A pity, he thought, as he signed his name. It was a masterly piece of work. But once you began admitting explanations in terms of purpose–well, you didn't know what the result might be. It was the sort of idea that might easily decondition the more unsettled minds among the higher castes–make them lose their faith in happiness as the Sovereign Good and take to believing, instead, that the goal was somewhere beyond, somewhere outside the present human sphere, that the purpose of life was not the maintenance of well-being, but some intensification and refining of consciousness, some enlargement of knowledge. Which was, the Controller reflected, quite possibly true. But not, in the present circumstance, admissible. He picked up his pen again, and under the words "Not to be published" drew a second line, thicker and blacker than the first; then sighed, "What fun it would be," he thought, "if one didn't have to think about happiness!”

“When demanded of those without power-- 'if you said it more nicely maybe we would listen'-- 'I can't hear you when you're so angry'-- 'the ones who are nice are the ones who will get what they want' (or, worse, the ones who are nice and pretty, which, of course, also includes white, Christian, and 'classy')-- it is yet another subjugation, yet another tool of oppression.”

“In an unconscious dynamic within most societies, the majority, or more accurately, the ruling or predominant minority, predicate or dictate the 'accepted' paradigm, traditions and beliefs; and the millions of people with unusual interests and even mystical experiences don't know that they are actually a huge and mostly voiceless group in the society.”

“Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.”

“In esoteric traditions, such conceptual schemes are considered a function of conditioning, not an inherent part of what is. Nonduality abides no contrast or comparison, no distinction between this and that, and no sequence of before and after. Beneath the surface play of phenomena, there is a formless, undifferentiated realm invisible to the naked eye; devoid of all parts, there remains only the unceasing flow and energy of life. Any concept of the Divine, therefore, is misleading, as it stands in the way of the deepest insights into the nature of reality. "God" is a concept, and, as such, is considered a misguided attempt to capture the infinite in the finite--to limit that which is limitless. As Mariana Caplan points out, "it is our imagination of God that fails," not God who fails us. St. Augustine voiced the same insight sixteen hundred years ago when he said God was not what we imagine or think we understand.”

“Remember that you are love. The society wants you to forget that you are love. The society creates all kinds conditionings, so that you will not remember that you are love. Jesus says that God is love. If God is love it means that all is love, because all comes from God. Bit the society lives on hate, anger, greed, ambition, power, violence and war. War is the way of society. Society is very animalistic. Even animals are not so ugly. Animals have a grace, which man has lost. Meditation means to be initiated into love. Meditation and love are synonymous words. If you can love, then God is not far away. Then God is in the heartbeat of your being. Wherever love is, God is. Love is the fragrance of God.”

“Verificar la operación de condicionamiento inconsciente exige constatar en los sujetos la ausencia de conocimiento expreso de la contingencia EC-EI. (...) Una opción drástica para lograrlo podría consistir en eliminar quirúrgicamente el cerebro de quienes participaran en estudios de este tipo: así se garantizaría de raíz la ausencia de cualquier tipo de conciencia. No obstante, tal vez intuyendo los problemas que esto les acarrearía a la hora de conseguir voluntarios para sus estudios (y también a la hora de lograr condicionamiento), los investigadores intentaron algunos procedimientos algo menos drásticos, como por ejemplo, el recurso a tareas concurrentes distractoras, cuya ejecución exige mucha atención, lo que impide tomar conciencia de la covariación EC-EI manejada en ese contexto.”

“Al tocar la llama los receptores del dedo estimulan neuronas sensoriales que conducen el mensaje de dolor a la médula espinal, donde lo recogen las interneuronas y lo transmiten a las motoras. Estas activan los músculos del brazo, que retiran la mano de la llama. Al mismo tiempo, es enviado un mensaje de dolor al cerebro, el cual también puede transmitir mensajes de activación o inhibición a las neuronas, contribuyendo así a la regulación superior del arco reflejo. Por ejemplo, sin ser ningún faquir, un servidor es capaz de pasar un dedo por la "queimada gallega" y aguantar la llama en él a modo de antorcha, cuando se lo propone, es decir, ¡si la ocasión lo merece: está oscuro, el público es impresionable...!”

“Imaginemos la reacción de un joven entusiasta de los coches al que acaban de prestarle uno por primera vez en su vida. Al principio experimentará alegría, incluso euforia. Luego, conforme transcurre el tiempo, aunque sigue contento, la excitación de sentirse motorizado se va atenuando poco a poco. Y si pasado un mes disfrutando del auto a sus anchas, ya no puede continuar disponiendo de él y tiene que devolverlo, de entrada no recuperará su estado original: sentirá añoranza de cuando lo tenía. Lógicamente, con el paso del tiempo también esta morriña se irá desvaneciendo progresivamente, hasta volver al estado emocional de partida.”

“Para hacerse una idea, el lector pude pensar en una situación familiar: su cuenta corriente, si la tuviere, si no, toca imaginar una cuenta ajena. En cada momento puede realizar sobre ella dos tipos de operaciones bancarias, hacer ingresos y hacer cargos, pero el estado resultante de esas operaciones es bien un saldo positivo o números rojos (nunca las dos cosas a la vez) dependiendo del valor relativo de ingresos y cargos.”

“We’re conditioned that our success (and our neighbor’s) is best measured by looking at our possessions. Those possessions influence perception, and because a certain perception earns us status, we chase the proof of wealth rather than wealth itself.”

“When I referred to mass hypnosis and education, this brainwashing is the foundation. The impressionable and pliable subconscious is oftentimes a receptacle of ideas, reactions, memories, feelings and perceptions. Call it cultural conditioning and following orders or the people next door, or those people on the reality show. People vote for reality show celebrities. The emperor is wearing no clothes. Millions are triggered, buttons are pushed, and people react. Read the news, or be the news.”

“In the last 10 years, we have seen a rise in selfishness: selfies, self-absorbed people, superficiality, self-degradation, apathy, and self-destruction. So I challenge all of you to take initiative to change this programming. Instead of celebrating the ego, let's flip the script and celebrate the heart. Let's put the ego and celebrity culture to sleep, and awaken the conscience. This is the battle we must all fight together to win back our humanity. To save our future and our children.”

“There's not as much oxygen in that hot gym and I think it's great for conditioning. I believe in a lot of boxing. You can train and work on the speed bag and heavy bag, but when you get in the ring with another fighter, it's a different story. Punches are coming at you, there's physical contact, muscle against muscle.”

“Mindfulness is being aware of yourself, others, and your surroundings in the moment. When consciously and kindly focusing awareness on life as it unfolds minute by precious minute, you are better able to savor each experience. Also, being closely attentive gives you the opportunity to change unwise or painful feelings and responses quickly. In fact, being truly present in a mindful way is an excellent stress reducer and, because of that, can be seen as consciousness conditioning, a strengthening workout for body, mind, heart, and spirit.”
