Brain Anticipation Powers for Personal Growth

In the podcast, Michael Pierce talks about the importance of accepting new realities in order to grow as a person. He challenges the listener to stop using the word belief and instead to refer to things as interesting possibilities. He also stresses the importance of being truthful in order to live up to one's full potential.

In order to improve any aspect of your life, you need to start by understanding your own perspective and feelings about it. If you want to improve your relationship, for example, you can start by asking yourself how the relationship makes you feel, what parts of it are working well, and what needs to be improved. You can also ask your partner the same questions to get a sense of whether you are on the same page or not. Confronting the reality of your situation can help you spark new desires and goals. For instance, if you see that you weigh more than you want to, you may be motivated to lose weight. Once you are clear about what you don't want, it can be easier to figure out what you do want.

The conversation is about how to begin the journey of personal growth. The speaker explains that the first step is to accept that there are things in your life that you would like to change. Once you have done this, you can start to look around and identify what you like and don't like about your life. This will help you to set goals and begin the process of change.

In order to grow and learn, you need to be open to new experiences and input. Your brain will automatically try to predict and anticipate future events based on past experiences, but if you only expose yourself to the same stimuli over and over, you won't learn anything new. Psychedelics can help you have fresh ideas and see things in a different way.

Highlights

A substantial portion of personal development demands working to relinquish your attachments to the pre programmed responses as you pull yourself into high awareness on a more consistent basis. Practically, this implies relinquishing dependencies, damaging emotions, fear based behaviors and substituting them with consciously selected rationally centered actions.

Buddies without the presence of awareness. We fall into reflex formulas by default knee jerk reactions. We live like unconscious beasts than total cable human beings or in other words, NPCs.

So simply admitting that this is the reality for the moment and not refusing the truth of the situation and not pretending that it's different. If you wish your situation to improve, you have to first be real with yourself and accept the whole truth.

In the first example, you're making reality the way you wish it to be, no matter what the real circumstances are. In the second example, you're trying to make things as precise as possible, even though you might not like it.

So you've got two primary choices deny the volatility of life and have a false sense of security, or learn to live with the issues of life. So you're either going to play the game or live in a fantasy world.
