waar we wonen, met welke mensen we contact hebben, ons beroep, hobby’s leefmilieu het beinvloedt ons meer dan we denken. We lopen mee in het gareel van de opvoeding, van wat men van ons verwacht. En toch leerde ik dat alles vanuit de hogere wereld is voorzien, de dingen gebeuren zoals onze Creator het wil

well i would say that when things go wrong we blame the enviroment but when things go right we want to take the credit because it makes us feel good. But I have now learnt that all of these actions, thoughts and events is the enviroment opporating through our ego and has nothing with the true us. Every big eye openner for me.
Thanks for helping me understand this it changes everything for me

We are completely hardwired by the environment on our automatically functioning nervous system level, just as animals are, but in a self-destructive way and these autonomic connections are “running the show”, our lives. Our higher, logical/reasoning function is focused only on the already formed, “faulty” program and is disconnected from the rest our more primitive, yet highly intelligent, nature developed, automatic functions – just the fact how much complex, biochemical function is going on after we eat a meal to transform the food into energy? Super complex and intelligent work, yet we do not have to think and reason and calculate with our higher brain to do it, goes automatically. We have to turn our higher brain potential to observe, understand and re-integrate the survival functions into everyday life. Then we might be able to start seeing/perceiving how we are influenced by our environment and rewire or re-program ourselves to make positive changes to match the evolutionary force.

We’re so close to it, it forms us. We can’t see the forest for the trees…
Our opinions, thoughts, etc. etc. etc
Because it’s our only point of freedom from the ego most likely, eh? “Anything but that”, the ego tells us 😁

Because we are almost entirely a product of the environment (it can change, but maybe our whole life is like a general environment) and we have no clear idea of what our essence is. So we can not say: ‘the true me was good, but now this environment came and spoiled me.’ We don’t have an objective state to compare to, because we have never not been in an environment… Also the influence that the environment has is often not instantaneous, but gradual.
