This complex not only controls your life, it also makes it so anything to the contrary is severely painful (because the complex is so large, and so connected to so many other things, mass-deterioration occurs). This, of course, leads to what we know as delusion - fighting the pain of deterioration by simply not accepting what causes the deterioration.

You can put anything in your brain - fact or fiction. Both are equally pleasurable to grow and equally painful to deteriorate.

To better advance humanity? Teach people this particular 'pleasure/pain/fear' aspect of brain science, which explains the way religions 'brainwash', clearly displaying the bad aspects of religion (and society in general), allowing us to easily remove the cancerous agents.
AAwwwaaaaaa.. THnX Jonesy...........

I think it takes lots of work to brainwash some ppl... Not much for others & none needed for some...

The brain is like an empty forest. Just soil, at first. Early seeds grow strong roots, and if tended to properly, will grow big, strong trees. Resources are limited, as they are in a forest, so seeds planted later on will not necessarily grow as big or strong.

The bigger and stronger the tree, the more difficult it is to chop down.

The pleasures and pains and fears are merely communication devices. They tell you what is happening in your brain, so you can control your own forest. Some trees are good for your brain, some are not. If you grow lots of bad trees, you will be screwed up and you will cause much misery for others.

I like the analogy here but I disagree with the first premise. First, allow me to state the source where part of my thoughts stem:

"Consciousness creates form. It is not the other way around. All personalities are not physical. It is only because you are so busily concerned with daily matters that you do not realize that there is a portion of you who knows that its own powers are far superior to those shown by the ordinary self."

Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul

So the brain, at birth, would * not * be just soil. It would already be shaped by the agreement of the family it is entering and the overhanging "clouds" [the respective umbrellas of thought] of the geography and society as well. From there, the consciousness has chosen what experiences they wish to proceed in while they play this game called life.

It's when one looks at the tiniest of things, atoms (and all their quirks ), and what they make up in our reality, one realizes science will probably * not * answer WHY or HOW they are what they are. What makes an atom choose to be part of hydrogen rather than oxygen? Does the atom itself actually choose, or does a thought form outside itself choose for it? Hmm.

I think that would depend on the gardener.

Most ideas about what for someone is good or bad... are pure bullshit... you know, completely incorrect. People have this deranged idea there is something wrong with children cursing and watching porn.

When I was 5, every recess period, I would crawl under this stone tortoise in the playground, and practice cursing all period long.

I started watching XXX porn when I was 9.

Look at me... the cursing and porn had no negative effects. In fact, for my age-group, I probably have one of the healthiest brains on the planet today (possibly pound-for-pound).

The brain has been a mystery. People have had theories. Most of their theories have been retardedly wrong. Unraveling of brain mysteries proves which are correct.

If watching porn makes you crazy everybody should be in a straitjacket.
It's as ridiculous as saying reading the bible will make you virtuous. We know that's not true.
