Sixth Insight Getting free from the Past "The Celestine Prophecy"

In the fifth insight, I discussed about the glimpses of mysticism that humanity is going to experience in the future. During this experience, person will lose sense of his body but the universe itself will become his or her body. The book "The Celestine Prophecy" says that such an experience would be temporary in nature. After some amount of time, person would be back to its normal consciousness. It would be temporary because of our pasts. We all humans stick hard to our pasts. Our lives are conditioned from childhood. We look at the society and start adopting their rules and regulations. This conditioning deviates us from our very true nature. Society teaches us to become someone else and we try hard to do it. This trying continues till the end of our lives and we do not get successful in becoming that someone else. Actually, it is almost impossible to be someone else. How can it be possible for a rose flower to be a sun flower.

I think that the whole society plays role in conditioning us but book generally talked about only parents who program us. In the fourth insight, I talked about the struggle for energy. This struggle for energy is the main reason of programming of our minds. We consciously or unconsciously under the influence of our parents start behaving in a certain way to gain energy from others. Author classified people`s programmed minds into four different types which are intimidator, interrogator, aloof and poor-me.

Intimidators: This category includes violent people. They are violent consciously or unconsciously to gain energy from a person who is being scared by them.

Interrogators: This category includes people who ask too much of questions to gain attention. Author said that such people are the result of having aloof parents who are either very busy in their works or who are not very caring.

Aloof: This category behaves in an unfriendly and unpredictable manner to make a particular person more interested in them. For example, if I ask question to such a person then he or she will try to answer it incompletely or in such a way that will make me to inquire more. Aloof people are the result of having interrogating parents.

Poor-me: This category includes people who constantly makes other people feel guilty because of their present conditions. They keep on talking about their horrible pasts to gain sympathy of people. Intimidating parents result into being poor-me. If poor-me does not work for a person in gaining energy then person starts fighting aggression with aggression by being an intimidator.

The sixth insight deals with breaking all the conditioning and realizing yourself as a spiritual entity. Realizing that you are more than what your parents have taught you, continues the process of evolution. Otherwise, we all know that stagnated water produces bad smell.
