READING, WRITING

Read for 80 seconds in HOW TO BIOHACK YOUR BRAIN by Kristin MyooMyay.  She says science had not realized that the brain (NEUROSCIENCE) affects the conscious mind, until the 1990s.  They discovered also that the conscious mind affects the brain.

(MY NOTE:  To me, they've always been one and the same; perhaps that's a simplistic view, but since I was not clear on the differences, I assumed they were the same, or of similar origin within the body) (also, brain, mind, spirit...... I've always thought they were the same thing, centered in the gray matter inside the head)

She adds that the CONSCIOUS MIND is what makes us different from other animals.  Most people wrongly conclude that our THOUGHTS and IDEAS originate in the CONSCIOUS MIND.  Rather, only 10% of our thoughts and ideas come from the CONSCIOUS MIND.  Per Freud, 50-60% of our daily thoughts come from our SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

CONSCIOUS MIND -           10% of daily thoughts  (there are 50-70K thoughts generated daily)

SUBCONSCIOUS MIND -    50-60% of daily thoughts

UNCONSCIOUS MIND -      30-40% of daily thoughts

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls his man (Gates - a member of his team) recommending a change in the leader of the Afghan effort, from XXX to McChrystal, who was all military & highly recognized by everyone.  So BO made the change to McChrystal.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says that IF it's true that left-leaning politicians and voters focus on only 2 of the 5 foundations he has earlier defined, and that those 2 foundations are CARE and FAIRNESS....... and IF, further, it's true that right-leaning politicians and voters focus on ALL 5 of the foundations (I.e., CARE, FAIRNESS, LOYALTY, AUTHORITY, and SANCTITY), ....... THEN, is it possible that conservative movements in society have a broader appeal than do liberal movements?  Apparently Haidt will answer these questions in the next chapter, titled "THE CONSERVATIVE ADVANTAGE."

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He says the 2nd aspect of the "tragic triad," namely GUILT is now considered.

MY NOTE:  I had never differentiated between "GUILT"  the status of a person vis-a-vis a crime, and "GUILT"  the feeling you have when you've committed a crime.

Frankl cites examples of groups of former prisoners who formed groups, post-prison of Logotherapy, who have the purpose of staying out of prison.
