Seek the Eternal World

GOD AND THE LIFE HEREAFTER being but in a raw or natural state. The task that man has to perform while living in this world is to transform that ‘raw’ conscious existence into a highly developed conscious existence. The reality is that the same process is required in both the physical world and the world of consciousness. It is the process of conversion. It means converting a material world into a developed one. As far as the conscious existence of man is concerned, it means transforming one’s raw personality into a truly developed personality. By birth, man possesses what can be called a raw personality. A raw personality means accepting influences from every external thing. For example, you get angry when someone says something harsh to you. Someone insults you, and so you are filled with hatred. You saw someone you thought was ‘bigger’ than you, so you felt inferior. Somewhere you think your interests are in danger, and so you lie. And so on. All such emotions are, to put it simply, negative thoughts. Every person is born in a particular society. In many cases, their whole life is spent mainly inside this society. Challenging experiences in social life often create negativity in a person, so much so that his whole personality may become negative. This process can be called the process of conditioning. It happens with everybody. No person is exempt from it. Thus, every person is Mr Conditioned. This conditioning makes almost every person live in jealousy, revenge, and other negative emotions to a lesser or greater degree. Practically every person becomes a case of negative conditioning. There may be a difference in degree among individuals, but the primary condition is the same.
