How can we go beyond Negative Conditioning?

​Day 402 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises

NEGATIVE CONDITIONING

Much of our conditioning
about God has come
through the media and religions,
with their view of what is truth.

Much of our conditioning about
talking with God,
has come through concepts
such as prayer or meditation.

But what if we made a fresh start,
and built our own understanding
and personal relationship, with
whatever we perceive God to be?

For God is really
the unknown that is out there,
beyond us and yet in each of us,
and all of us.

Imagine then, if we
could go beyond 
all that negative conditioning
and talk with love and kindness,

To ourselves
and to others.
 to all that we know,
and don’t know.
