Are We Conscious Enough to Change?

Thought for Today:

We unconsciously become the experience of previous generations, unless we consciously become the change.

sun in handsMost people in our modern world are aware that their DNA - the building blocks of our bodies - are passed on to us by our parents.Attitudes and thought patterns are passed along in much the same way. Early on, our parents have the strongest influence and later our peer groups. Then, of course, we are all impacted by societal mental soup in which we swim. Few would argue that our own personality is in there somewhere impacting the person we become. However, we unconsciously accept and create models of the world based on how those around us see it.The end product is often a human being holding strongly to beliefs he or she had almost no role in creating. Yet, our connection to those beliefs - that model of the world - are so strong many are willing to kill and die for them.The question is sometimes asked, "If humans were capable of changing wouldn't we have already changed?" The assumption in that question is that we cannot change because we have not changed.Ethnic and religious wars spring up in our world over the simple right of the other to exist. Humans have and continue to enslave humans. Military, political, and economic empires are built on the sweat and tears of people we never see.Can we change? Well, my answer is yes and no. If our plan is to unconsciously continue inheriting, then no we cannot and we will not change. On the other hand, if we choose become consciously aware of this habitual "mental DNA", we most certainly can see an end to the unconsciousness.Without artificial interference, there is little we can do with the physical genes we get other than make the most of them. Fortunately, our mental genes can easily be changed by us whenever we choose.Empower your thinking!Ray Davis is the founder of The Affirmation Spot.
