What is considered to be of Consequence determines what one notices, pays attention to, is aware of, determines how one reacts, and affects the sensory experience and the
Emotions of the everyday experience of reality. If one thinks a thing is ordinary and unimportant, one may pay it no attention. These can be some of the most beautiful things in the world, like autumn leaves, fresh snow in the trees, reflections in a mud puddle or the mirror smooth water of a lake in the morning.
If one has little or no control in terms of the creation and dissolution
of Association, one is stuck with one's past associations, especially those from the early years of one's life. These Associations can also be called Conditioning, and can determine how one behaves in present circumstance, how one perceives reality and what one considers to be important to a very great degree. Association from the past that affects the individual in the present, in a way that the individual is unhappy with can be changed. This can be done by
Analysis, or the review of one's past as the events of which the memories as associations occurred. An understanding of how and why Associations originated can allow the individual to become aware of them and change one's characterization. One may create one's own values as a substitute for those one may have been inculcated or indoctrinated with by others. Another means is the process of the
Watcher. By this means the individual may watch oneself in the everyday activity of living in an attempt to notice exactly how one responds to one's Association.
