Are you aware that you are conditioned? After two thousand years of steady propaganda – baptism, Mass, constant repetition, repetition, repetition, you have become a Catholic; or through other repetitions you are a Hindu or Muslim – it is the same process. Are you aware that your brain is conditioned? It is not difficult to be aware that you are conditioned. When you say, ‘I am British’ – or German, Russian, French – you are conditioned. The Indian may think, ‘I have the greatest culture,’ but that culture has gone; in India they are completely at a loss, in disorder. So, if you are aware of being conditioned, is that awareness an idea or an actuality? Are you actually aware of your reactions?

#Day79 of #100HappyDays / #365HappyDays : I knocked up a #crochet #turtle tonight. First time I’ve made something without a pattern.

It needs some refining if I’m going to attempt another, but I’m relatively happy with how it turned out.
