The fog - unique in each of us - is sometimes called 'conditioning'.
Conditioning is the natural outcome of our instinctual human nature, plus all the leftovers of everything we have learned and experienced physically, emotionally and mentally in our past - and all that continues to accumulate as we experience our life.
All conditioning lives in our unconscious.
And it determines everything about us - it is the foundation to our sense of self - and the cause of our response to life.
We only ever know the conditioning by what it creates - the images, thoughts, feelings, likes, desires, beliefs, needs, wants, physical impulses etc - that rise into our conscious awareness.
The most powerful leftovers can remain in our unconscious and act as major influences in us our entire life.
All leftovers share one common characteristic - when their effects appear in our awareness, they draw our attention into them.
They exert a 'magnetic' pull on our attention.
Its as if they have a kind of 'energy' to them...
