If the choice is to believe in something crazy that is good or believe in something awful that is likely then it only makes sense to be a little mad. The future is defined by what we create, are aware of, and pursue. Perspective is a choice which recreates its own reality by the magic of persistence, social influence and collective consciousness, then awareness to options and interpretation of stimuli. As we move through reality and make sense of the world around us with our perception, there is a base level of acceptance everyone has for what can count as truth. Not within logic and not even emotion but a practiced process of position and poignancy that dictates to each mind what pass the possible and proceed to having pulse.
For many people it is their parents and friends imagined approval in their singular and youngest conscious mindset. For others, it is their most obsessed over emotional cause. This can be from art to sports to abuse to their most desired event and their favorite example. Regardless, its not hard to ask the self what is the biggest emotional engine going. Simple focus activity will reveal your own motor’s center coil. In this revealing this process does one find the grounds for what counts as real and not real. If people here, values here, this time and space, cannot support new beliefs then one will scratch them. Even if one can agree logically, it may only be a momentary agreement where after that person gets their own values and forces flowing the new concept will be recycled out. Finding this center speed process is key to changing what your inner engine can move and course you can take.
There is a turned state of mind one feels most comfortable in. This usually is based out of mental homeostasis and familiarity with their social and most importance influences. So if you hang out with bastards, read a bunch of Bukowski, and had a wonderful home-life then you will resonate somewhere with being a downtrodden bastard who feels comfortable with themselves. Take this into consideration when allowing your base core of emotions and definition of self. It is simple to focus on people who aren’t around you. These are choices a person gets to make. What we focus on as our base, becomes our base. People who read too much Harry Potter, the Bible, watch too much anime all feel most comfortable around people ACTING like the ways and wears of that culture are normal. It is stimulus perceived which creates this feeling of comfort.
So here is the suggestion on hacking your brain: imagine what situation you want, completely ideally, and then allow yourself to center around that mentally. Realize this is going to feel crazy and everything “normal” in you will fight it as it doesn’t fit. Embrace this weird, because that’s really just the new. Be both disciplined and passionate about this process, count it as growth and something you want, need, deserve, and are only being real when active. Since you are always already doing this, start doing it your way.
