It's time to retrain your brain

Yes, now is the time to take charge of your own evolution and to stop waiting for the forces surrounding you to push you, shove you, and coerce you to make those necessary changes - some very small, some quite large - that would appear to you, after the fact, as becoming "Smarter than you were".

Whether this is realized or not, ALL HUMANS are running the center line of this path to "Smarter-than-I-was-yesterday" Town (a very strange place to be sure!), which no one can see or realize because they're not THERE yet; they have not actually even gotten started! And what could be more obvious than that? Just study the human species throughout all of its history, especially how they treat each other. Does any of that look SMART to you?

Most people, however, believe they are already ON such a path to "Smart Town", which is why nobody will make "extra effort" to even get started. If they already believe they are there - SMARTER than I was yesterday - then what's left for them to do? (note: they can't figure out the answer which is right in front of their little noses, so how "smart" can they actually be?)

                                                              ------------

While it is not absolutely true, it is very close to being correct, that the so-called controversy surrounding the two large concepts we call, "Science", and "Religion" (which of course are themselves huge ideas containing sub-ideas, each containing sub-sub-ideas, etc., in a similar way that our Universe contains galaxies, containing star-systems, containing planets, containing species {when they actually do}) doesn't even EXIST, but for the present-day inadequacy of language.

Yes, people everywhere think they are at odds, even talking about different things, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is just the left brain "experiencing" phenomena that the right brain can't talk about, and the right brain "experiencing" phenomena that the left brain can't talk about. And, what is "in the middle", is that center line of the path to "Smarter-than-I-was-yesterday" Town, which thus remains totally outside their capacity to Really Experience.

Consider the age-old argument (which is what it has certainly devolved into) that Science refutes the need for (any) God. The more the human mind grows and develops and learns to talk about its experiences, the less the human mind requires (any) God to fill in the gaps in understanding. Today one side is saying to the other: "I can sense and feel (and I call that, 'experience') something (which they suggest most vehemently is God), that you on the other side simply can NOT experience." While at the same time the other side is saying: "I can think and understand and verify through repeated experiments something that you on the other side simply can NOT understand."

Yet, it is also probable that the big QuestionMark in the room - like an invisible 800lb. ape on the sofa - is quite outside the physical senses, while the people standing around chit-chatting about the days of their lives do not possess the Intelligence that is the Awakened Mind capable of perceiving that which can never be physically perceived.

So, again, it's time to retrain your brain...
