What I've learned today... Saturday. 1.27.07 7:36 pm  There are 5 agregates of the human being: body, consciousness, recognition, bias and action. One is obviously tied to the material while the other 4 belong to the mind. The mind agregates are as follows... Take the simple act of seeing someone. First, you need a "consciousness" that is able to grasp the idea, to PERCEIVE that someone or something else than you is there. The second attribute comes into play and that is "recognition". Let's say you have seen the person before so you remember who they are. You recognize the form. Immediately after, the 3rd step comes into play, and that is the "bias". Depending on the previous experience you have had with that person, we either like or dislike them. If there is someone you like, your 4th and last attribute will come into play to, for example, say "hi" or, in the opposite case, avoid the person (or violently slap them, whatever floats your boat :P) Now for the interesting part, instead of "bias" we have "prejudice"... In that case, your mind doesn't look at prevous experience that you have had with that particular person because that is not available. You don't know them. But your mind always finds solutions. So you start remembering what other people, the media, outer influences have to say about that "type" of person that you think you have recognized. Therefore you will act towards that person in accordance to, basically, false information. There is nothing more sad or wrong than to see a person based on outer influences that are drawn from a range of experiences about OTHER people. Why? Because this is how the "society", in this case represented by the myriad of infuences that press upon us every single day, mind-controlls us. And this is how most people end up having a life that is not theirs, or take decisions that are not based on what they really feel or need, just because the "society" thinks they are "good" or "bad", "righteous" or "wrong". Being free supposes being strong. Because other people, who have long ago let their brain sleep, and accepted what "the others" say instead, will judge and sentence you accordingly. Unfortunately "dogma" falls into the same "prejudice" cathegory, and is no less dangerous. Starting today, analyze. Look into yourself and observe your own mental mechanisms to make sure you're not speaking someone else's words, taking decisions that do not belong to you. Be simple. Be you. And the best way to recognize wether you are being you or not is how "happy" or "unhappy" you feel. Being happy is hard work...trust your gut feelings. This is drawn from the teachings of a person who lived more than 2500 years ago... makes me wonder where we are going in terms of "evolution", with what I see around... I wish "good luck" to ALL of us! Recommended by 3 Members    4 Comments. I love it. » Dilated on 2007-01-27 08:45:33 You and I are on the same page.
