Discernment

The reason we stumble over our own mental functions is not because they are by themselves defective. We are lead to believe that we “are” those mental functions which means we have no power to make choices about or navigate our way through mental events.

Science is now coming to the opinion that our emotions are hard wired behavioral survival skills as they all seem to be ingrained into our motor and sensory centers and often have very marginal contact with our “higher” functions neurologically. Would we be well served by thinking that supports and enhances emotion?

“A rich man may be wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.” Bible
