I think I do but do I really know who I am?
I recently read that 12% of our mind is consciousness and 88% is subconsciousness. So if most of my brain activity is on a level of unawareness, do I really know who I am? And if I go beyond that and remember that we purported to have around sixty thousand thoughts a day and 90% of those are repeating thoughts I almost feel like maybe they are telling us we are automatons. Are we really in the Matrix? Thank goodness I don't believe everything I read but it does give me pause for thought.
I do think there is a Higher Power that is helping me along and I am thankful for all the assistance I can get. Even though most of what I read I have to take with a 'pinch of salt', I am grateful that I have a questing mind and continue to search for my truth.
The other day the news used the word post-truth, which is a new axiom that is being used. I don't get it. Two hyphenated words is a new word? Truth is truth as we see it, whether pre or post?
post-truth. That is a good one. Fake it till you make it? Waiting until the intended damage is done, and say 'just kidding' and 'can't you take a joke'
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly when I heard it 'fake it till you make it' The word post-truth is used mostly in politics. Brexit and the recent Presidental election dramatics. And being linked to politics says it all about the meaning post-truth
DeletePost-truth - made me laugh. Is that like the bruised egg on your noggin when life whacks me with a 2 x 4 of reality? :D
ReplyDeleteI really can't figure it out. A 2 x 4 reality...I have been whacked with that one before.
