Question: Often when I look at the conditioning, the task of removing it seems impossible. It seems something akin to hacking away at an iceberg with a spoon. I don't feel I will ever come close to getting the job done -- in fact it seems hopeless.
Answer: Who said you should remove the conditioning? Let's say you live in a multi-storied house which has a basement. There are all kinds of creepy-crawly, hideous creatures in the basement, and of course it's very dark down there. You wouldn't stay in the basement, you would move up to one of the upper levels. The aim is, by being in charge of your own inner state, keep your mood "upstairs" above the chaos below. If your mood is always in vital interest or above, you will not be affected by what may be in the basement. Eventually you won't even be aware of it being there. X
