Change is our Perception
Change isn’t some alien force that makes us uncomfortable in our lives. Change isn’t any form of victimization that just makes us feel like we have no control. In fact, things like fire, and flood, and earthquake are very far from new. The wind has rose in destructive storms for as long as humanity can…

The World Working
If you tell me my car was stolen, and I was not concerned about my car, not focused on anything to do with the car, is that really change for me? Oh, it might change for me later as my focus changes, but what if I have an attitude that the car just doesn’t matter,…

Fear of Change
To overcome my fear of change, I need to work on my focus? Yes, change is what you see it to be. Realize that change is what you say it is. What you think, and feel, and believe it is. I have had people be aghast at what I find to be indifference in my…

Hand in Change
Who is actually fascinated with their own minds? Because your mind is your world, and you are response able people. If you would have a hand in change then realize that what you have, and what you feel, is where you are at, and by that same power that you change your feelings and change your…

Change Gives
Change has given us a lot of great things. Change has given us everything. A new human life is a whole lot of change. We get a new human form from material we can’t even really see. You cannot guide what you will not touch, and what you will not allow to touch you, and…

Change Focus
How do you change the focus of the mind? Well, it is pretty simple. The mind is habitual, but it has limits. There are ideas that really confuse people about the mind, and you can’t change your mind by force of will. It doesn’t really matter if you are determined, if anything being determined keeps…

Comfort Zone
We don’t consider change very often as a rule, yet we get heavily invested in avoiding it, and keeping a picture of the world and ourselves, even if we profess to not like the world. Some of the most resistant people to change also eagerly say the world sucks, but when you point it back…

No Failure
I have scary news, and it’s terrible. There is no failure. No matter what you do, you did that. Failure is the unexpected outcome, defining that which was not in your definition of success? Yes, but is it your definition of success? How many people have something that is genuinely their personal definition of success?…

Joy
Joy is calming. So when can you have joy? With love. When ever we choose. When letting go. All true. The idea that you can control the world is a bit silly isn’t it? The idea that change is to be controlled, and that it must have your approval. Where is your own world? Is…

You Can Change
If you want change and change is natural, understand the part that is yours. Which is you? You can do new things when you learn new things. You don’t have to say, “I was dumb, but now I’m smart”. That isn’t true, you are you. Do you know you? You are the one who can…

Change Blindness
Today we are revisiting the topic of change. They are even now researching the strange biases the brain displays regarding this topic. For most people, at any given time, they feel like they have arrived or gotten as far as they are able to go on any of life’s paths. When you ask people about…

The Conservative Brain
The brain seems hardwired to be conservative? Yes, to exert the minimum amount of energy necessary. It’s why recovery from brain injury is so difficult. It tries to achieve homoeostasis even in preference to optimal function. Long story short, the brain doesn’t like change. It is also a poor judge of causality. Its only sense…

Semantic Mind
To connect this back to why we identify as our stories rather than our intentions, well, there are two reasons. The one being natural tendencies to problem solve. We instinctively register pain and fear as louder or more important than pleasure, and the other being how we are socialized, our culture. We tend to believe…

Realize the Presence of the Semantic
Let’s take the normal thinking and see what it does to semantic memory. Your frontal lobe generates the same sort of signals your senses do, and your semantic memory registers those at the same time it has to process your sensory experience itself. It has to produce one coherent memory, otherwise it would cease being…

Life Change
Ever notice how no matter what you do, your imagination seems to want to act? Want to move? Your imagination seems to have a mind of its own? It doesn’t have a mind of its own. That seemingly independent mind is the semantic mind. And thus meditation. To watch the imagination’ stallions roam… unbridled —…

Not-A-Problem Decisions
Have any of your personal mental gymnastics ever really changed your life? How much have your plans ever really changed your life? Who you perceive yourself to be? Improved your enjoyment of life? Have you really fixed anything in your life through your problem solving efforts? It’s more about status quo. Is that everyone’s experience?…

Hemi Synchronization
Everyone familiar with hemi synchronization? It’s a technology as well as a natural phenomenon and occurs more commonly than science is now recognizing. Your thalamus performs the same process on your self awareness that your auditory centre performs on sound. To explain what the tech does… They can play two different tones to your hearing,…

Do You Change?
I have one last bit, one last question to explore. Do you change? Which can also be expressed as, do you ever learn? I would say the conscious does but the subconscious stays the same. Then the conscious doesn’t. Eventually, the subconscious pulls the conscious back into line with itself. This is why you have…
Category: Change
The subject is change, and no I’m not going to ask for coin. Change is not something that just happens to you. All change happens in a context though you might not fully understand everything involved in a change in your life. In all of the change there is endurance. If something doesn’t change, it still does in that the context of its existence changes. You aren’t afraid the world will change, you are afraid you can change it. Well boo! You can.
