"THE ROOT CAUSE"
Introduction
Everything has roots. The way you behave, the way you think, the way you react, the way you respond, the way you cognize and why you behave the way you behave—everything has a Root Thought Pattern!
Whether you feel unhealthy or helpless, or emotionally weak, tired, bored, lazy, agitated or irritated, all these put together are classified as powerlessness, feeling powerless. Our past experiences are stored in our unconscious as root thought patterns. They will only mislead you to a space of powerlessness, incompletion. We make incomplete decisions when we make the major decisions through root thought patterns. Don’t make major decisions in your life based on your past experiences.
So What is ‘Root Thought Pattern’ ?
The first strong cognition you receive in your life, which influences you to continue to function based on the same cognition, is a root thought pattern!
In the young age, if your mother teaches you, ‘Don’t go in the rain. You will catch cold’. Naturally, at that age your immune system is yet to be developed. But even after you are twenty-five, when your immune system is at its peak, you don’t even go in the rain, you just see the rain through the window and you start sneezing, ‘hachoo’. What you internalized, what you cognized in the very young age, which has imbalanced your nature is root pattern. Your natural existence is root thought pattern. Get out of your root thought pattern and complete with it.
Please understand, it may be anything as simple as your mother not giving you the cake and giving it to your brother. It may be as simple as your mother making you sit on the dining table so that you will not run around and make a mess; or you trying your best and failing in your exam or some competition. It can be even that small!
Understand, what is a pattern? It is an action that is unfulfilled as per your fantasy, either because of an outside hindrance or an inside hindrance, and is in incompletion. If your expectations are not met by yourself or by others, it remains as an incompletion.
For example, you always wanted to wake up early in the morning and practice yoga, but you never succeeded in that, so it remains as an incompletion. You always wanted your father to be very loving and caring, and he never honored your expectations, this remains as an incompletion. I tell you, the incompletions embedded in you, go on creating more and more incompletions. So, first find the root of incompletions, the root pattern.
What is Completion?
Completion means consciously reliving the same experience and relieving the powerful impact of the past, which makes you powerless in the present.
The powerful impact of the past which makes you powerless in the present should be relieved from your system. Past should not bind you in the present. What we term perception is not the experience we perceive through our senses; perception is how we respond emotionally to the experience. This response is an incomplete, inadequate response based on our root thought patterns.
Modern psychology tells us that almost 90% of our mind is unconscious. This means that we typically use 10% of our conscious mind. In other words, our conscious mind drives only 10% of our thoughts, words and actions. The rest is driven by the unconscious. We have no control over how our unconscious mind functions. Many unconscious memories called root thought patterns are based on fear and pain. They rise up in moments of trauma or difficult situations. They influence decisions with no awareness on our part.
All that we perceive is not true; all that we do not perceive is not unreal. It is a simple truth that what you cognize is only a fraction of what our five senses perceive. The rest goes directly into the unconscious as a pattern. Yet this does not mean that these perceptions and the memories of these perceptions are forgotten. They remain as deep incompletions in us. And these memories strongly drive our actions.
You don’t see what IS. You only see what you want. You create what you want. Human beings are in such an unfortunate space, they very strongly believe that only what ‘IS’ is perceived by them. What is your reality? It is just your perception—your perception about what you feel as you, what you project to others as you, and what others expect about you.
Please understand, all human beings need to know why you behave the way you behave, why you do the way you do, why you do what you do. You may be a doctor, an engineer in the corporate field, or a politician, or in the field of finance or religion—whatever you may be, whether you act with softness, peace, agitation or irritation, it is your root thought pattern that is responsible for the way you react, the way you function.
Understand this. The first strong cognition you go through in your life which influences you to continue to function based on the same cognition is root thought pattern.
For example, at the age of three or four, for some reason, somebody tries to attack you. Shivering and frightened, you run and hide yourself. The cognition was so deep in you that your whole inner space was filled with fear for a few minutes. The possibility for all other cognitions is shut down and this one cognition just fills you for a few moments. Even after that person has gone, you are still shivering in your hiding place. Please understand, if you had this kind of experience at that young age, you literally never came out of that hiding place after that! You may physically come out, but the suffering and shivering continue to happen. Even at the age of ninety-five, you will be shivering just like the three-year-old boy.
Once some root thought pattern starts in you, your growth stops. After that, only that pattern grows in you, not you! Listen! Only pattern grows in you, not you. If you had chosen to attack him back with whatever you got in your hand, even that will be a pattern.
Find the Root of Your Happening
How you behave, how you feel, how you respond—this means the cognition that happens in you and fills you at a very young age and overpowers you. Sometimes it is fear, sometimes it is greed, some times it is jealousy and sometimes it is the decision to prove yourself. Sometimes it is just being blocked out with confusion and worry.The first thing you need to know is that only when you find your root thought pattern and complete with it, your life as a human being starts. Otherwise, you go on cheating yourself most of the time.
Do not allow root patterns to get rooted in you. Look into the root patterns, into why you behave how you behave. The first thing any human being should do is—learn this science of discovering the root pattern. Discovering your root thought patterns and completing with them to experience the space of completion.
Do not allow root patterns to get rooted in you. Look into the root patterns, into why you behave how you behave.Everything in Existence has a root. Everything you do has a reason, a root.
