Hello and welcome back to another expand podcast with yours truly Elizabeth April.

Today I am here to talk all about conditions and conditional living. Believe it or not,

we all live with so many conditions all the time.

And these conditions are created from childhood, from traumas, from dogmas, from other people's

belief systems, from religions, from your parents, and we don't actually realize

how much we are being influenced

from moment to moment.

And the whole point that I want to get to today

is that conditions create our reality.

And this information really hit home

and really hit me hard the other night.

I feel like in general some of my best teachings and really I guess my only teachings

are through my own personal experiences.

Maybe that's an experience from a past lifetime on or off this planet.

Or maybe it's just an experience that I have throughout my day. Sometimes I'll move a couch cushion and have some sort of crazy download.

And that's exactly what happened the other night. So me and my wife were in bed. We were watching

some TV. And she's like, oh, I feel kind of snacky. Like, do you want something? Do you like a popsicle or something? And I said, no, I just, I just brush my teeth. And this condition hit me so hard. And maybe it's from childhood.

Maybe I just created it in my own adult life.

I don't know when this belief, this condition, got started.

But here's what it is.

My condition that I became ever so aware of was that if I eat something after I brush my teeth, I'm going to get cavities.

Now, logically, realistically, you know, experts, dentists, whatever say that, I don't know, maybe that's the case.
