... Taking advantage of my mother's attentiveness, my soliloquy continues to process aloud:
“You know, Mom, when Will and I separated, it was impossible for either of us to get a grip on the main root of our problem without guidance. And here’s why that’s pretty classic across the board ...we're just beginning to learn about the intricacies of the human brain. Seriously, it can be so painful to uproot deeply buried insecurities that our defense systems set up mental blocks, which prevent us from mustering the courage to probe deep within our psyches.
Though the ego’s need for self-protection dates back to prehistoric times, Mother Nature offered human beings the gift of thought processors. And since we've made excellent use of our think tanks to figure out how to propel mankind straight to the moon and back, it's crazy to think that as our brains have evolved, over millions of years, our defense systems are so complex that we go to extremes to focus attention away from traits that we're afraid to accept as our own. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what Mother Nature had intended when she provided each of us with the—potential—to develop the solution-seeking portion of our intelligence to control our basic instinct to fight/freeze/or flee.
In fact, here’s a line of reasoning that explains why we all bamboozle ourselves to some degree: If Mother Nature intends for evolution to keep rolling along then that which I've been eager to learn about the brain is in synch with the evolution of mankind in terms of each generation building upon the problem solving skills of the generation that came before—Hey! That means each generation has been passing Socrates' baton forward, all along! AH! Now there's an insight that makes incredible sense! And making sense of nonsensical defensiveness feels great, because peace of mind is mine each time my sense of clarity and the universe feel centered as one ..."
