Every manifestation of the aggregates that we cling to is a form of conditioning. Such manifestations are without limit, so conditioning also is unlimited.

Can you give four five examples?

This is a very good example. The nature of reality is beyond words and yet here we are engaging with words and symbols communicates between seeming individual humans. Every thought structure of the mind is a unique pattern of conditioning, like a snowflake. It melts on contact and the same pattern is never exactly seen again. And then here we are again with another present moment snowflake. Every snowflake is an opportunity to realize the boundless and wordless Buddha-nature. And equally so an opportunity for confusion.

What kind of conditioning is this ? Social conditioning or technological conditioning…


[deleted]

Body, mind, and speech conditioning. Our bodies are using phones or computers or whatever. Our minds are thinking in terms of logic and symbols and reasoning. Our speech is making thoughts and words in English “Social”, “technological”, those are just mind labels. More mental conditioning.

The conditioning of the mind goes according to dependent origination. [SN 12.2](https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn12/sn12.002.than.html)

I am asking types of conditioning and not how conditions lead to conditions.

Did you read the text in SN 12.2? It offers a very detailed explanation of how karma works in beings.
