Do you consider yourself "free"? And if you do (as you almost certainly do), to what extent? Totally, you say. Are you sure? Think of the conditioning you receive from all sides, every day, all day long. Think of the headlines that are showed to you non-stop, visualize all the messages that are sent to you every instant, become aware of the numberless ads that are pushed under your nose wherever you look. And then... the opinions, the judgments, the comments, the criticism, the praise, the spite etc... that you see, hear, read about throughout your waking time (there might even be messages sent to your brain subliminally during your sleep, but I honestly don't know anything about them - yet!). So, are you still positive that your feelings, thoughts and convictions are "originally" yours?
