Unlearn is untangling oneself from the net of conditioning and the history therein. Unlearning assists in springing the trap of believing without questioning.
The past conditioning was one's safety net, now one is cutting the the strands of the net and then there can be free fall and the fear of not having a safety net which although being trapped it never the less embraced one in a cold comfort sort of way and getting used to living with it. Now there is a freedom and the fear may leave a residue, this residue is hard and fast habits and getting used to the relative freedom is a relief from being imprisoned by the net of the past and as one gradually trusts the emptiness of freedom the fear of losing safety habits is overcome.
One then begins to trust the invisible supply chain and the realisation that the net of fear was the block and stumbling faltering trust that held up and stifled the supply of the infinite.
Zen story I often repeat; ' A monk on having satori went away from the monastery and to the mountains to have solitude and grow into his satori without distraction. He took some books and sourced his food from nature. His little wooden hut was small but sufficient. When the winter came the birds migrated, the leaves fell, the trees were bare and the snow fell hard and fast. He was warm and had a simple log fire. The spring came, the flowers came to bloom, the trees had leaves and the birds returned.
The monk looked out at all of this and said "all this and I did not do a thing to make it happen".
