You're probably gonna tell yourself right now: No, I certainly not. I'm not going to let others influence me. I will not allow myself to be led by the media and schools or by a social norm. In principle, we can assume that practically no one is 100% self-determined. Since most of them are not isolated, but have a social life. Nevertheless, it is important that we begin to live in a self-determined way.
You're foreign controlled if:
- you have unconscious (non-promoting) beliefs in you
- you have a limited free will or free choice
- you don't choose your goals yourself
- you let yourself be guided by external influences
- you make decisions only because of belonging (not following your heart's path)
Have you lived your life the way you wanted? If not, you'll change that from now on!
I distinguish from 3 basic imprints:
1. unconscious beliefs, which you have accepted in the year of c. a. 1 - 6 years from your parents and environment without questioning.
2. foreign determination of friends, family and familiar surroundings in the here and now. Do you only act in certain things because it's expected of the family? Are you acting like this because you wouldn't want to be a member of your circle of friends?
3. external determination by our school system (all children are tried to be equal thinking and acting in the same way). The brainwashing of media about universities and politics, which is supposed to present a societal image, which resembles a theatre stage. Daily mediation of negative information and distraction. You are supposed to be the quiet citizen who is not capable of making his own decisions anyway.
In part 2 - 4 I will go into more detail on the three basic characteristics.
See ya :)
