I understand why it’s so important to be clear when explaining these concepts: instinctual passions, self-immolation, apperceptiveness, feeling-being, etc… without this care and clarity you would end up with texts that leave everything up to interpretation, which seems to be the norm with religions (the bibles) and spiritual traditions (the taos, mantras, etc).
But as I make progress it seems sufficient to me for now to simply examine the moment to moment using the actualism method. Mostly continually realizing how silly I am when I’m worried about my social identity, how I look, my status and all those adjacent topics - the ego stuff - and the daily situations related to conditioning. For example today I saw a woman with revealing clothes and immediately I became angry. It’s an automatic feeling (which is interesting because I used to think that it started with thoughts). The difference now from before is that I realize what’s going on with me and the feeling stops quickly.
That’s it and it’s pretty great. But on the other hand I don’t think I’ve eliminated any conditioning nor do I anticipate that will happen soon. I used to think I would be able to address them by layers, first social and then instinctual but it’s all bundled together and what I examine depends on whatever happens during the day. But understanding the conditioning (at least the part I’m able to identify so far) is already very beneficial.
