Dear Cali Chica:

Most of how we behave is automatic, a result of having been programmed this way or that way. When you see a people who “do this so naturally” – unless they healed or consciously changed their behaviors, practiced a new behavior in a “conscious and deliberate” way again and again throughout long enough time- they behave certain ways naturally simply because their programming makes it so. We, humans, are very much programmed, no less than other animals.

Unlike other animals a child can go to school and learn things the parent doesn’t know, learn skills in a class, get a degree in a university but when it comes to what matters to one’s well being, these are programmed early. Some people are luckier than others, that is all.
