Mind meetings 2

For a meeting to be nice, we should know its structure and be open minded.
Structure is when we know why there is a meeting, and which functions the participants have.
Problems occur if we are opinionated.
Sometimes we have the right to stick to our function, even if others would like to start a meeting in another structure.
If there are problems, the remedy is more information and analysis. This needs time, however.
There is a difference between fake and being polite. Fake is outright falseness, but politeness is when we try to bend interests to fit with the interests of other persons.
Open meetings when people meet unexpectedly can be very complex and thus difficult.
The general principle could be respect and wishing well.

Mind brain conflict 2

Normally we think with the brain. We even support the important aspects in our situation with agreements and different legal documents. We create structures.
We can also think with the mind. The mind is volatile and can see anything from any point of view. Evaluations can change many times every second, but truth is truth.
These two ways of thinking can be in conflict. Indeed, that is normal. This causes problems.
The most common problem is probably exaggeration. Ideas imprinted in the brain are given more importance than they should have. We exaggerate the importance of the negative and the positive we encounter.
With the mind we can see reality as it is. But the brain registers reality as we have decided it to be - with rules, laws and agreements. We can organise our society in different ways, and many of these ways are equal. So we have to ask the brain which the convention is in this particular place.
We have different roles in society, and we are in different situations. Sometimes we should think with mind and sometimes with brain. Mind is superior to brain. If we feel that the structures, laws and traditions in one society are more problematic than good, we should try to change them. But if we have laws we should respect them.
