I agree right on with Ben.
We assimilated emotional imprints, patterns, and wounds
as children during the first 7 years of our life.
This emotional imprint becomes like a blueprint for our experience of life,
our responses and emotional experiences of life, our filters for how we perceive life,
and our reoccurring issues, limitations, relationships, and assumptions we are swimming in.
For anyone involved in conscious growth at some point or another it becomes fairly apparent
that there are patterns that continue to show up again and again, trigger us, make us ask "why me, why does this keep happening to me." Whether its always turning away when faced with commitment, being bullied, people consistently betraying you, self sabatogen etc.
There are three ways I like to look at this secular, present or interconnected/ divine
1. Secular- Is very simply, as language and thinking develops the emotional imprint influences it to create a very specific filter which it continues to reinforce, rationalize, and seek evidence for in the outside world. I.E. If you break a dish while playing in the house and get screamed at.. you might on some deep level feel playing is bad, or that items are worth more than your well being etc. As time goes on one becomes increasingly identified with that pattern or condition as who they are, options in perception become increasingly diminished, those situations and circumstances which reinforce and relate to that identity continue to reoccur in perception and therefore in the experiential reality of that individual. Theie behavior and emotions become increasingly reflective of that identity which makes them perfect matches

1. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
2. A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions... Success and failure are for him answers above all.
3. I would not know what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more then to be than a good dancer.-F.N.
