• 0:01
  We pride ourselves on our independence and
• 0:04
  self-sufficiency we believe that we make conscious choices that
• 0:09
  are our own choices. We do not generally recognized
• 0:14
  that who we are today and what choices we tend to make our very
• 0:19
  much conditioned by and even controlled by influences from
• 0:24
  the past, the Buddhist concept of dependent origination. times
• 0:30
  this intertwined relationship between the present and the
• 0:33
  past, There is a built-in genetic inheritance.
• 0:37
  That provides much of the framework for the Mind, life and
• 0:41
  body that we inhabit in our lifetimes and thereby controls
• 0:46
  many events, Capacities and incapacities take on an
• 0:52
  important role. In determining how we proceed
• 0:55
  through our lives, but the inheritance does not stop with
• 0:59
  our DNA. We also inherit ways of seeing
• 1:03
  and reacting from parents extended family, our community,
• 1:08
  our society and our educational system.
• 1:13
  Traditions, cultural folkways prejudices and predilections all
• 1:19
  influence our free choice. At every moment.
• 1:23
  We are, of course, also influenced by current
• 1:26
  circumstances, information flow, Etc, which are all formed based
• 1:31
  on the common past that we share with the others, with whom we
• 1:34
  interact closely or at a distance in the society.
• 1:39
  There is also the inheritance that stems from our prenatal,
• 1:43
  programming through the thoughts, feelings experiences,
• 1:47
  consumed media and it's impacts diet, hormonal releases
• 1:53
  illnesses, stresses and Drug intakes of our mothers and the
• 1:57
  postnatal impacts of the mix of hormones, drugs and other
• 2:01
  substances imbibed through breast milk along with the
• 2:06
  feelings, thoughts and energies experienced by our Is in that
• 2:10
  crucial period. Embedded.
• 2:13
  Also, in the DNA is the past evolutionary drives.
• 2:18
  We can see this in the animal kingdom where animals repeat
• 2:21
  patterns, that were not specifically taught by their
• 2:24
  parents or Community Clan Monarch butterflies for
• 2:28
  instance, take for generations, to make their circuit from
• 2:32
  Central America to Canada. And back yet.
• 2:36
  They fly the same route land in the same areas.
• 2:40
  Eat the same foods from generation to generation without
• 2:45
  a conscious education. Taking place from the older to
• 2:49
  the younger generation. Human beings also carry similar,
• 2:53
  atavistic forms of knowledge into their lives, which govern
• 2:58
  actions and reactions that have been turned into deeply.
• 3:02
  Embedded habits. In all human beings, people
• 3:07
  simply do not realize how deeply programmed we are.
• 3:10
  By the time we reach a point in our lives, when we believe we
• 3:15
  can make our own decisions and exercise, our free will All of
• 3:20
  these influences from the past reside in the subcontinent
• 3:25
  Realms of our being and from there, they remain as
• 3:28
  Impressions frequently, released into action when triggered by an
• 3:34
  event or circumstances that touches that unseen hidden part
• 3:39
  of our being. The mother writes.
• 3:43
  Quote one is born with a Slough to clean before one begins to
• 3:48
  live and once you have made a good start on the way to the
• 3:52
  inner transformation and you go down to the subcontinent, root
• 3:56
  of the being that exactly which comes from parents from atavism.
• 4:01
  Well you do see what it is and all almost all difficulties are
• 4:07
  there there are very few things added to existence after. the
• 4:11
  first years of life, this happens at any odd moment.
• 4:17
  If you keep bad company or read bad books, the poison may enter
• 4:21
  you but there are all the imprints deep rooted in the
• 4:25
  subcontinent, the dirty habits, you have and against, which you
• 4:29
  struggle. For instance, there are people
• 4:32
  who can't open their mouth without telling a lie and they
• 4:36
  don't always do this deliberately, that's the worst
• 4:39
  of it or people who can't come in touch with others without
• 4:43
  quarrel. All sorts of stupidities, they
• 4:47
  are there in the subcontinent, deeply rooted.
• 4:50
  Now, when you have a Goodwill externally, you do your best to
• 4:55
  avoid all that to correct it. If possible you work, you fight,
• 5:01
  then become aware. That this thing always keeps
• 5:04
  coming up, it comes up from some part which escapes your control,
• 5:09
  but if you enter this subconscient, if you let your
• 5:12
  Consciousness infiltrated and look carefully, gradually, you
• 5:18
  will discover all the sources. All the origins of all your
• 5:22
  difficulties. Then you will begin to
• 5:25
  understand what your fathers and mothers grandfathers and
• 5:30
  grandmothers were. And if at a certain moment, you
• 5:34
  are unable to control yourself. You will understand.

  I am like that because they were like that in quote, reference
