Personal Meditation No. 70
"Your beliefs are your actions. What you say is just what you think.”
Embrace the Within.
Thinking is difficult. This is why our brain does everything it can to take short cuts. I know. “Not me. I do everything logically.” But yes, you and I too. The point is not denying that our brain works as lazily as possible, however, the point is to accept this fact and live life accordingly.
Once you start to get that human intelligence is based on a survival mechanism from prehistory that primarily focuses on predatory dangers that now are not a priority and that our brain is not suited for the recent terrain of human life that it now faces daily. The more I’m surprised that some people actually think. That in itself is a marvel of the human experience.
So, the idea that fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty percent of folk understand their brain and understand the influences working on their brain, and are consciously working on making the best choices for their lives is laughable. I applaud the idea that everyone make their own choices but I laugh as I clap.
You will start to notice that two choices are all you’re going to get right now. Two choices are all your brain can handle. Two choices make it easy for your brain to just check a box and move on for the day. Two choices is easy, accessible, and finite.
Maybe you don’t want easy, accessible, and finite. Maybe you want some depth, struggle, and uncertainty? Well, your brain doesn’t. It isn’t conditioned or suited for that right now. Maybe it never will be. But that doesn’t mean you should stop thinking.
Take those thoughts and breathe them life. Work them into an action. Make yourself in the image you want. Craft the narrative you want to tell. Become the hero of your story.
Or settle for the laziness of a duality your brain craves. Is your brain working for you or against you? Enslave your brain and emancipate yourself.
I hope you find whatever you’re looking for. Have the day you want.
