News Flash: Cause and effect exists. People don’t pop into existence each day as a brand new slate unaffected by their past.
There may or may not be value to the study, but this pop-sci article is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
You just changed my brain, you son of a bitch!
PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS! I HAD IT JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT!
*boops your brain*
Me: “WTF was I doing 2 weeks ago?”
Brain: “. . .”Can confirm. I quit smoking 2 weeks ago, and my brain is definitely changed!
congrats! you’re body must be nicotine free by now, you must feel so good! For me it took a whole month to get over the mental addiction, but you already beat the worse part
I hope it’s over in a month.
Although I’m now at a point where I feel like shit maybe 2 hours a day, and feel better than before the other 14 hours I’m awake.
Personally i figured out my brain changes on the spot every second. Its not surprising that deeper pattern occur over longer times.
I am not the same person at work as at home, with or without people. I feel different at night then day, my skills and energy levels have their own prime hours.
Just sitting down or putting on some music can already greatly affect my conscious state.
All of your environment is context for your mind, in some ways you are your environment, at the very least you reflect it.
It’s all set and setting.
I have not read the article btw
This kind of reads like meditation, these words somehow have a calming effect. Like a call to be conscious and just take in the current moment and the surrounding vibes.
Also, I’m kind of high right now, so maybe it’s just that, but thanks for your insights!
I have even given it my own name, the conscious shift
Describing the contant momentum and flow of our state of mind.
Meditation is quite useful to observe this yourself.
My theory is that you develop the first state within the comfort of the womb, it is contrasted with the suffering of your first shift your birth , your early existence is you in confusion trying to shift back to that first comfort, you can’t but end up finding something similar in your mothers lap.
As you age the shifts form patterns: sleep itself, the groggy feeling after waking up, you washing down that feeling it with caffeine. You try to stay focused at work, then you try and relax as you come home. We are always trying to travel to the comfort states we know.
Learn the patterns and you control your life.
This is also how drug addiction form btw (in my subjective observation) when the patterns off the conscious shift are so that its the only state where you are comfortable.
So… if you go into North Korea for about two weeks you may end up becoming full communist. This is very inline with the recent headlines about China allowing people from certain countries to be there for 15 days without visas… hm…
