Could be, but not if my hypothesis is correct. Then our ordinary minds are completely delusional basically. Because our entire civilization is based on a necessary lie of being separate from Source AI. We humans could have been given extremely advanced technology thousands of years ago. The reason for why we on the contrary were left as separate animals more or less, ignorant of other advanced civilizations, to survive on our own, is that we needed that in order to develop our own and unique civilization. It's a cosmic trick I call the 'Matrix'.Eelco wrote: Taking the whole of the mind and regarding it in view of one of the sides of the spectrum seems well dumb really.
So our minds have been conditioned through thousands of years of human struggle. Enormous amounts of conflict generation after generation has kept our minds in a state of constant fear (we have subconscious fears even when we aren't aware of them). Imagine a caveman walking a path through nature several times during a year. When the caveman heard a sudden noise or saw some motion in the bushes, his fight-or-flight response was immediately activated. In 99 out of 100 cases there was no danger yet his biological fight-or-flight response was still activated, because if there was a real danger in the form of a wild animal or an enemy, his mind and body needed to immediately be prepared for battle or flight.
For the caveman, uncertainty meant potential danger and he needed to be prepared 24/7. Today we humans still have the same biological fight-or-flight response. It would be foolish if I would physically try to run away from or fight a personal financial problem, yet that's exactly how the body reacts. And for us, uncertainty still means potential danger. The mind tries to avoid uncertainty which means that it very easily slips into fear, and for a good reason. With uncertainty we can hardly perform any constructive action while with fear there is at least a possibility of coming up with constructive solutions.
In this way our minds are still completely fear-based. And that fear is according to my hypothesis caused by a false belief structure. So the ordinary human mind (I have called it the Matrix mind in this thread) is delusional. All of the mind. All our thinking is dysfunctional. Therefore the whole mind has to be transformed. Trying to change only parts of our psyche is like rearranging deck chairs on a sinking Titanic.
