Frightening Power Of Patterns Or The Power Of Negative Influence.
The Chariot Of Thoughts. Mindset Is Everything.
Hey Folks!
Do we need patterns in our life.
We all use patterns very often in life. This happens every second, every moment we use patterns. Many of our decisions, many of our actions, are created by movement patterns in our brain. We remember this successful combination of ready-made solutions and easily apply it in similar actions and situations. It does not require additional energy, does not require a load on logic and brain, boom and the complete solution is ready.
As I discussed the difficulty of learning with my wife Maya today, I became acutely aware of the power of patterns over a person.
This frightening force controls our lives and is sometimes everything we say, do, create. It’s like fast food for the brain, the ding, and the burger are ready. Yes, of course perhaps with me, and they say to yourself, but what about knowledge. This is also a set of correct decisions and actions. Why didn’t they become patterns then?
Knowledge is not only actions and events, it’s also experience, energy and even time. It’s constant trial and error in application that gives even more new ideas and knowledge. Patterns are different.
How do our brains work with patterns.
Imagine going to the store and buying milk. Boom and by applying the pattern, you did it. In fact, everything, including what outfit and makeup to choose, which road to even which store to choose, was skipped. There is only you and a can of milk on the couch next to you. If you also need to take a hot sauce. This pattern will prevent you from deviating from the course. By applying it you will only have milk. To take the sauce, create a new pattern or take a ready-made one.
Using ready-made solutions, we lose knowledge. You are missing out on everything that led and allowed this event to be. All those years in art or programming school. You change the pattern and it gives a ready-made solution that does not tolerate new ideas and possibilities.
How can we change patterns. Can we have a magic key.
Patterns are deeply embedded in our minds. They often decide what to do in life. This is an enormous box with various pieces of paper and notes. It’s very easy for the brain to choose them, so it goes the easy way without wasting precious energy. This has already been proven not only by physicists or neuroscientists, it has been proven in many scientific journals. Knowing this information, you can already change your life for the better. If patterns rule you, replace them with useful ones. It's like affirmations or habits. You can always come up with the right concept for action. Don’t deny them, admit that they are part of you, that you act this way only because you believe in it. Let go of one of these patterns and you will see how easy it is. Fighting them will lead to loss. It's like fighting Catch-22, you still can't win, it's a vicious circle. A place where some events lead to others, and so along the chain, then boom and you are back in the old place.
Once I called the concept of weak-willed existence and submission to fears, anxieties, negative thoughts the “Blood of the Slave” theory. I even dedicated a verse to this event to immortalize my decisions and thoughts. This hurtful comparison has become a powerful symbol for me and a desire to get out of this web. I fought and realized that I needed not to change myself, but to change my habits. In my life, I have fought a lot with “evil voices”, “impostor syndrome” and other negative phenomena, viruses, internal adjustments, and other methods of mental suppression. I built strong citadels, built towers, and erected walls. All this eventually falls. The impostor will return only even stronger and more insidious. In my 30s, I was a supercomputer, holding the plots of three different universes of books in my mind and writing them. I could save any information on my hard disk in my mind and memory, and I was proud that I remember and know everything. One day I woke up as my father called it “Toxic Man”. My mind was losing thoughts, consciousness was always slipping away, and the only thing I could solve were simple basic patterns. This happens if you strain your mind to a thousand percent. Of course, this is burnout. Even the smallest brain failure, believe the scientists, carries with it global consequences. Now I am telling you so that you understand I was there. I was on the side of stupid patterns and ridiculous decisions. I believed that if you shake the milk three times; it becomes sacred, but it is not. The patterns made me stupid every second until I realized we could change them. Intention makes us stronger and opens doors. There is always another side, there is always an opportunity to change something for the better. Yes, it can be insignificant or incredibly large, but in any case, it is greater than zero. Step by step, you can change everything. This is how global changes take place in nature and on the planet. This is how the universe moves. Small, barely noticeable steps and you can replace all the patterns with useful and positive ones.
Are we can change ourselves.
If you consider yourself a failure, fat, stupid, mediocre, lazy, sad, angry, greedy, ridiculous. Do you think that something is written on your face, or do you just suffer from self-eating and poor values? I congratulate you. You’re an ordinary person who, like everything else, strives closer to the Abyss of Inevitability. But all these words that ring in your head are patterns. There are thousands of ways to defeat them, but they all return with greater strength. You have already tried to do it with logic and pain inside. These words can be ignored, but they will get louder. Just acknowledge and change this way from Catch 22. How to do it? Be confident and persistent, follow your decisions and choose the way. These can be affirmations. It could be self-hypnosis. It could even be a change of habit. You yourself can choose a method that is convenient for you. In any case, get out of this Abyss of Despair. On the other side, happiness, smiles, and abundance have been waiting for you for a long time. Remember, you don’t have to break the cycle; just replace it with other good things that have both prosperity and abundance.
Patterns are everywhere. They are useful and harmful, harmless and intrusive. There are so many patterns that sometimes we no longer see them. But learning to draw is not the same as coloring pictures by numbers. Learning to write is not the same as replacing words in other people’s poems and substituting the desired name. And, of course, knowing and studying any knowledge is not the same as taking a synopsis from a botanist. Experience and time decide everything. Keep that in mind and don’t let your mind get lost in the maze of patterns!
