When I say the brain is like a sponge, it is an under-exaggeration. The human brain is constantly interpreting, deciding, and responding to all of the stimulus in our lives, consciously, as well as subconsciously. Our brains are the most advanced supercomputers in the universe. Let me give you an example: WHITE, WHITE, WHITE, WHITE, WHITE...What do cows drink???.................... Did you think "milk"? Chances are, regardless of your answer and no matter how many times that you have heard that, you can distunguish that the thought went through your head. Now if our thoughts occur subconsciously (which they do), then our sub-conscious thoughts can be influenced also, and this riddle is an example of that. It shows us how our brains have been conditioned by norms and how something as simple as associating a color with another's commonly known knowledge, to an animal can almost instantaneously give our brains a generic answer to the question presented to it. Almost INSTANTANEOUSLY, this happens!!! Our brains are the greatest weapon in our arsenal, as a species, but can also be our greatest adversary, and like any weapon, if our enemy understood how it worked, our enemy would gain an advantage over us.
People think of "communication" is ALWAYS acted out in a physical form. Meaning, that in order for one to communicate with another, they would need to physically talk, text, e mail, etc. in order to communicate with that person. This theory suggests that we have also been communicating subconsciously and it has affected our ability to communicate. Let me elaborate.
Before mathematics, before science, before any of that, there was the written and verbal word. Language and communication are the FOUNDATION of ALL of our understanding. In grade school we learn letters and the sounds they make, we arrange them together to form words and we learn the sounds that they make, we combine those words to form sentences and learn how to communicate, we learn verbs, nouns, pre-fixes, root words, etc. and how to associate these words with our senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and FEEL.
The Spanish language provides a perfect example of how we would first start to associate a word with our senses (This is CRITICAL to understand as part of the foundation of EVERYTHING we know). At first, when learning how to speak this language, we have to consciously be aware of what sex we are talking to. You have to consciously focus on relating feminine and masculine words (ending in "a" or "o") to the sex of who we are talking to. Eventually, this association between the sexes and sound, becomes 2nd nature and becomes part of our sub-conscious. In other words, our brains create a shortcut to the program. Try to use this as an example for this next topic...
Eventually we are introduced to the concept of "opposite" words. What does the word "opposite" mean to you?...............................Define the word "opposite". The word "opposite" is commonly defined as different or something that is different than, but that is not always true with these words. In fact, more often than not, those 2 "opposite" words can be another type of synonym. The word "synonym" by definition is: 2 words that mean the same thing, or 2 words that share similars. But there are different synonyms that are found from "opposite" words. Examples: white/black=color spectrum, male/female=sexes, love/hate=affection. I have found that many of these opposite word pairs also have a one word similar. If this does not seem PROFOUNDLY significant let me explain further. Understanding opposite words train our brains to identify differences and synonyms train our brains to look for similarities in things. One conditions separation, and one promotes looking for likenesses. Think about it! We were taught this concept at such a young age that it is ingrained in the foundation of our psyches. If you agree that our brains have created "shortcuts" to make us more efficient and that sometimes we can overlook things without even realizing it sub-consciously, then you can see that we have literally been speaking different languages as a species to each other!!!
The fact that SO many people have come to understand the simple concept of opposite words as "different" completely nullifies its concept. This is why: If we have defined, to ourselves, that the word "opposite" means different and "different" means not the same, and that association with the word blended with our crude understanding of what "opposite" means, could actually mean the complete OPPOSITE of what it's supposed to mean, then how the hell can we rationalize NOT nullifying it's concept??? I'm not saying that we don't need to look for differences, because we do, and opposite words are the concept/comparison that gives us the ability to look for differences. Actually, our very survival depends on finding differences. We need the ability to look for differences so that we can draw a comparison off of to change anything or do anything differently. We need a comparison, because without a comparison to draw off of, there would never be any progress in the human race.
We ALL, as the species that has the ultimate authority, on our planet, need to become aware of this "hiccup" or "flaw" in our mental make-up and seek to understand or relate to one another more, in order to consciously correct this "hiccup". This will, in turn, train our minds to look for similarities rather than differences, and thus evening out the lop-sidedness in our sub-conscious. I believe we have been subconsciously looking for differences and this has trained our minds to separate ourselves, mentally, and too emotionally, and so spiritually, because of these "opposite" words. We need to acknowledge where our technological minds want us to go, and that is to be more aware of the evolution of words and language and to learn how to communicate better.
Another way to look at it is this: maybe, our creations that you see in today's technological world , are actually manifistations of memories from past incarnations that our souls have had, and through those memories, we have created the ability to be telepathic, (to some extent) and accomplished this through technology. Maybe we are subconsciously creating these gadgets in an attempt to recover the abilities that we once had as "sentient" beings: Beings aware of everything at once. Perhaps all we are doing is living out a lost "sense" that we once had built into our make-up....
