and trying to posses those things which your conditioning made you to see.

My obsession to understand JK's teacings for the sake of trueth, is making me conditioned to kinfonet, through discussions.

I am that Iam.

Conditioning is the manner in which a corrupt society remains in control.

Or on a smaller scale, in which the psychological self maintains power over the intelligence of the body.

So - doubt everything that you think you know.

I am conditioned to

"end up with a boring, miserable life because I listened to my mom, my dad, my teacher, to Jiddu Krishnamurti, or some guy on television telling me how to do my shit, so I deserve it"

You deserve it too.

One is conditioned when self interest, concern and fulfillment dominate all one's actions. Urge to become better, bigger and desire for 'more' show the presence of conditioning in our lives.
Why is it difficult to become aware that one's action and behaviour are conditioned through and through?

Does self know that it is running away from void or nothingness? Or trying to become something more or better is the reason for its ignorance?

No, that's not conditioning. It's the natural consequence of being able to think and imagine.

Conditioning originates from what is stored in memory and is of interest and concern to self, does it not?

Hi, it seems to that I am not at all what I thought or whished I was. It look to me that there is fear all over, all kind of fear, not that it is bothering me, it is a plus to know what we are, so if I say that I am basically fear, I am over reacting here?

Conditioning is what happens to you as a result of conditions imposed.

No, I'd say fear, insecurity, consciousness of mortality is the root of what we are.

Conditions imposed from outside is the cause and conditioned self is the result. Is it not necessary for self to get involved (by accepting and rejecting conditions with accompanying emotional reaction) for conditions imposed to become a part of psychological memory and hence conditioning?

Are you suggesting here that any response from memory could very well be conditioning?

Yes I would say it does have it’s root in memory. This is what we are, our conditioning , a set of behavior that will repeat it self.

the self is simply conditioned, the whole self is called a human. ask the superior, of the world, i mean people know that being conditioned, is experience, a fixed activity, like working, talking, in the same way, as you,
the kind of person in society. one is also conditioned to respond, which is slightly another term, it is reaction as a real person, like your instinctive release of action, or common resistance, to speak back. you are conditioned as the influences such as education, mentors, and the codes of society, you know this is the mind, and therefore, your self. its a bit slack these days, is not self knowledge , understanding how you are conditioned, is called the human self. this quoting of k, people being young have got wrong, there is no easy answer, so lets get back to all the people, whats wrong with being human beings now, so what influences do you have, because you have to reveal what you know, alot of people on this website or lying about the krishnarmutis, and it is just interest for them, and good fun, the people of k , were quiet, people , bookish, and devoted conventional folk, they are and were natural relations of the people, and one has the nature, to rely, to awarely hold conditioning, are you a person of the truth.

Conditioning originates with the conditions imposed. How the brain is shaped by the conditions is the conditioning.
