10 Mindfulness Society is lacking in love; lacking in care for one another, lacking in respect for one another, and lacking in real social depth and connection between one another. We do not treat each other with love, and respect each other as human beings. Most people only interact on the surface, speaking of superficial topics that neither person has any real interest in. Humans are social creatures, and we long for more depth, more connection, more expression. Unfortunately, everyone is so dominated by their minds and their egos that they don’t interact with their hearts. Our interactions are dull, usually consisting of pointless dialogue and whatever topics are popular in today’s media. Because of this, we feel alienated from one another. We are unable to express ourselves because we fear what others will think of us, because we are worried about protecting our self-images and our sense of identity. We do not share our deepest thoughts and emotions with one another; we don’t acknowledge the feelings of others, or listen to what they really have to say. Most people just wait for the other person to finish talking so that they can state their response. There isn’t conversation, 51
Joseph P. Kauffman but rather two egos desperate to state their opinion so they can feel validated. Our society does not operate from the level of consciousness that is needed to sustain seven billion people. We operate on the momentum of an ignorant past, conditioned by generation after generation of unconscious behavior. It is this conditioning that has caused us to live from the state of consciousness of the ego. It is this conditioning that has caused us to adopt the incorrect view of separation. It is our conditioning that makes us okay with violence, judgment, injustice, and cruelty. It is our conditioning that causes us to act out in unwholesome ways, and seek to benefit ourselves at the expense of others. From the moment you were born your mind was conditioned by society, molded by the environments that you were put in, shaped by the minds of others who were also conditioned by an ignorant society. You think and act the way you do because it is how you were raised to think and act. We cannot have peace on Earth if our actions stem from our conditioned minds. We have been conditioned to live according to the standards of a hostile society. In order to have peace, we need to undo our conditioning and retrain our brains to perceive and act in a more harmonious way. We must unlearn all of the negative habits that we have adopted, and replace them with positive habits, and this can only be done by letting go of everything you have been raised to think, in order to embrace a new reality. It is difficult to accept that what you thought to be true is actually false, especially if you cling to your beliefs for a sense of identity. But your beliefs are just information stored in your mind, and you are not your mind, and you do not need any thoughts or beliefs about life in order to know your true identity. 52
