      The process of actively deconstructing & destroying belief systems and other conditioning has been the particularly lengthy and unpleasant part.

      This is true for me as well. Especially when you start to see beliefs and conditioning fucking everywhere, it can get overwhelming. Belief might be somewhat easier to work with, but virtually nothing is independent of conditioning.

      You can't fully escape conditioning unless you're unconscious; you can only get better at recognizing it in real time, and loosening its grip. That's not to say you can't shed specific conditions -- but you'll always be replacing it with other conditions.

      A lot of people seem to think you can reduce the amount of conditioning. Can't get rid of it entirely, of course, but it does feel like I just have less.

      Replying to @iwelsh @euvieivanova and

      Any functional human mind has to be conditioned by something, because nothing is independent of conditions. I agree that when you recognize that conditions are not you, then you can reduce or change them, though a lot of conditioning is biological/evolutionary.

      even a lot of the bio/evo stuff alters and activates or deactivates based on mental events. This stuff is becoming clear in the scientific literature, slowly.

      yeah, I mean according to accounts you can turn off certain common emotions even. Turn of Default Mode, etc... Some of the psychic/physical surgery possible is quite radical. People who think some of this stuff isn't possible can really fuck themselves up.

      my tai chi sifu has conscious control over normally uncontrollable stuff that is almost impossible to believe: including conscious control over fear. He can allow it, disallow it, and reverse it.

      Anyone who doubts the degree of weird stuff that is possible should just go look at the research on @Iceman_Hof. Even more interesting to me that he seems to stress the importance of belief, alongside certain psycho-physical techniques.

      Oh there's definitely a lot of weird/bizarre/cool/seemingly-superhuman stuff that the mind can do. What it can't do is be totally free of conditioning, because all there is are conditions. From the perspective of emptiness, there's no "thing" that is apart from conditions.
