Unlearning 2

The brain has an ability to learn and to adapt to demands. That is good but also a difficulty. Once the brain has created a routine, it is so much easier to follow the routine than to do something new. As the external world is in constant change, we would need a new kind of brain which is more flexible and less emotionally stuck in its old routines and patterns.
You could say that the external world should change first. The brain is just a mirror of external situations, and as long as there is oppression, rudeness and hostility in the world it is good to have brains which react with disgust and even pain.
And certainly, we should change the external world in order to eliminate oppression and discrimination. One problem is that the negative ideas are born anew with every new generation. So the problem can not be solved once and for all. It has to be solved for every new individual that is born. And there is quite a number of those.
But to eliminate oppression is also a brain problem. It is not an external, political or psychological problem. The difference between the dictator and the democratic leader is in the brain.
Of course, the brain is part of an external reality. The internal reality is mind. The brain is a marvellous instrument in the hands of the mind (does the mind have hands!?) but a disastrous instrument when used for creating disaster.

The future 2

Life is manifestation of ideas...so we can ask why it is not better...why all these disturbances and irritations not to mention serious problems and sufferings...did I really want to manifest this?
The process of manifesting ideas is tremendously powerful ... if we look at the world from the outside, it might not seem so ... but the reason for a bleak end result is that so much of all activity is conflict ... if we could cooperate the result would be much better, even if the atmosphere of cooperation is more dull than the atmosphere of full conflict and catastrophe...
Can we cooperate, or is human nature seeking conflict?
The answer is that "human nature" is a habit rather than a static state. We are flexible, also on the most basic level.
If desperate conflict is the best for progress, we will manifest those ideas.
If we find cooperation in harmony to be the best, we will manifest that.
But we can not change this directly. There is a time gap.
