The Brain is One Big Recognition System
Science is the study of what and how something happens. Metaphysics is the study of why, and there is a conceptual split between the two trains of thought in society. Our mind is the centre of everything we try to do, and we would engage in our activities with or without a deep understanding of…

Transliminality
Your body doesn’t react any differently to internal stimulation than it does external. Pain from sickness is processed the same as pain from attack, say. The brain will begin a pattern of reactions as if you were under physical assault when you fall ill or suffer great strain. So the greater part of the iceberg…

Intelligence of Your Body
Let’s then look at what this means about our autobiographical memory, our memory of our life as we believe it happened to us.

But say, untrustworthiness results in touching the hands and face compulsively, crossing the arms and leaning away from the person they are interacting with. These patterns of body language…

Since we can’t really tell truth from falsehood in an absolute sense, why not just accept everything as…
Category: Mind Projection
Experience is a subtle case of projection at all times. Your behavior arises not from your conscious thought or even your singular brain, but from environmental processes around you which you broadcast out into as well. This is why you can so regularly do something and seriously not know why you behaved or reacted that way. They are finding all sorts of patterns in nature that verify this.
Feel free to trust your natural relationship to the projected world. Your instincts are far better than your “education” in this regard.
“Our minds influence the key activity of the brain, which then influences everything; perception, cognition, thoughts and feelings, personal relationships; they’re all a projection of you.” Deepak Chopra
