Human being is an incredible specie; we do praise ourselves for having conscious, the one thing that no other specie seems to posses, at least as far as our telescopes and microscopes show.
Yet, the extent of which this specie, is controlled and influenced by his subconscious is quite significant, this is what I like to call becoming conditioned.
We become conditioned; we start to think within a framework or a box that our brain builds. We start to tune to a special frequency, we faithfully maintain ourselves tuned to this central frequency with little deviations. We unknowingly follow a set of predefined rules in action and conform to preset rules in thinking, imagination and visualization. We are stuck in the bloody spider's web known as "supposed to be". Borders are known by keywords "CAN" and "CANNOT"; the determinants of boundaries we define for ourselves. We determine the extent of our field of operation exclusively based on mental condition settings.
How and why this unconscious is built is a long story, see a psychologist or Victor Frankl's "Search for Meaning". He describes how people are influenced by external factors, environment, society, culture and all those factors that shape our personality and character and define who we are. Scientifically, it can be discussed, proved and cured if you are a chronic case, but what about the rest of us who seem to be alright, who have no special symptoms or show unacceptable behavior; to the contrary we are pretty normal. We have easily learned to think within constrain or in other words, be realistic. We have effortlessly suppressed our fancies and now we can even dream within constrains.
You don't believe me! Haven’t we stopped dreaming of next vacation on Mars in a spaceship? Haven't we stopped dreaming of the prince charming riding on a white horse to save us from darkness? Haven't we stopped dreaming of miracles? Haven't we stopped dreaming of romance, of love, of true relations? Having we stopped dreaming of one day being found or finding the "ONE"? What does it take to be eligible for a chronic case treatment?
How much I miss those days when I was so naive, childlike and detached from reality to allow myself to just dream of anything, visualize it as if it was true with all the bright and vivid colors and then I used to live in them cause I just felt they can and will come true very soon
