Thrownness is a concept introduced by German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) to describe humans' individual existences as being 'thrown' into the world. This essentially means; things (circumstances) in your life that you didn't choose or pick but you were thrown into them, much of them existed long time before you were born, you had no say or choice in them, but played a huge role in shaping who you're today.

These things include;

  • Your parents
  • Your siblings
  • Your extended Family Members
  • Your genetics
  • Your Gender
  • Your geographical location of your birth
  • Where you grew up
  • Type of neighbourhood
  • Your parents' financial and Social economic status
  • Family generational (unsolved) trauma
  • Parental mental health
  • Your parents class
  • Your race
  • Your religion
  • Political climate
  • Social Norms
  • The era
  • The list can go on...

    On a conscious level, we're intellectually aware that, there are so many factors that contribute to shaping us as an individuals, but we rarely ever take the time to conduct a deep analysis and reflection of what all those factors mean to us.

    You were thrown into these circumstances and you have basically been trying to navigate them ever since and you will be be doing so, until the day you're no longer here..

    So, what does this mean....?

    It means that, many of the things that influence your emotional blue print, your psychology and your personality was not on you. However, as an adult it is up to you to change these experiences and circumstances.

    We experienced the world through these things, as they shape the lenses that we view our world from. Through these lenses, we learn how to organise our thoughts and beliefs around them.

    Through the 'thrownness' we receive indoctrination of our mental programming and this mental programming is deeply imbedded in our subconscious mind and as previously discussed, much of our everyday actions and behaviours are dictated by our subconscious mind.
