Sometimes the general feeling of consciousness can be chaotic. But as most of us believe, thoughts are just a matter of organized chaos. I’ve always hated the phrase “organized chaos”. To me, it just always sounds like a favorite phrase of someone that thinks they are some philosophical being of some great understanding of the world around them. “Organized chaos” just seems like an escape route for a better explanation. So why did I just say thoughts are just a matter of organized chaos? I said it, so I can attempt at explaining things a different way. Maybe not better, just different. Correct? Who knows.
Onto my description of consciousness.
I don’t have one.
So yeah, I don’t have a description of consciousness.
Which leads me to write about something else…
I’ve recently began reading a book called “Rigged” by Ben Mezrich. I’m to about the 9th chapter now, about 1/10 through the book I’d say. And I find that when I fall asleep after reading the book, I dream about stock prices, buying and selling, etc. I’ve read several books in my lifetime so far, and none that I’ve read before bed have ever given me dreams so frequently. I have always been extremely fascinated with the stock market. This would seemingly explain why I am having dreams about the very thing, after reading a book that has to do with it. It’s almost as if my mind is being selective as to what it will dream about. Since in the past, it never dreamt of any other books subject I was reading. Well if that’s the case, what else is my mind being selective about? What do I know about me, that I don’t know about me! This isn’t the easiest thing to think about.
But when you really do think about it. It would seem very possible that we are missing out, or missing the point, on a lot of things. What exactly is the importance of this? Let’s say you have a friend that you grew up with for at least 5 years. That friend is your roommate as well. That same friend one day tells you that they are going to leave the country and live in Germany with a person they have met but once. Would you be confused? Or would you understand? Depending on your response, do you understand where the source of your confusion comes from? Or the source of your understanding comes from? We are all brought up a certain way, and we definitely cannot deny that a lot of our views and beliefs on things come from those influences as we grow. But can we not deny that our thoughts are impacted by our own subconscious “selection”. Like I said about the dreams, it’s almost as if our mind sometimes chooses our beliefs for us. Our instincts. So before you tell that friend, that it’s a terrible idea. Check your source of your belief. And let them check the source of theirs.
So rather than telling people not to judge or criticize others, I’m attempting to give a valid reason not to do so.
I’m going to use the bathroom now. (Don’t you judge me!)
