Clarity on STO please

Thanks for explaining your thinking on thoughts, heh, John. You appear to be drawing a distinction between our deeper beliefs or habits of mind and our more surface, conscious thoughts. This is an interesting angle I hadn't considered.

Let me see if I am getting what you're saying: your point is that we can't simply consciously think ourselves to polarization; it comes from taking a thorough inventory of our beliefs, values, and perhaps what those of Ra call biases. Thoughts, though an element of the mind and the polarization process, are more a product of underlying beliefs and biases than themselves the drivers of polarization. Do I have that right?

I think that's very insightful. So what, in your opinion, is the role of our day-to-day conscious thinking? If we can't think our way to polarization, towards what ought we think?

BINGO!

Thoughts are good for combing through each aspect until we approach the deep rooted 'distortion' (coined by Ra) that needs to be examined.

Example
-"Why am I mad?"
-"I'm mad because the car cut in front of me!"
-"Why am i angry at that?"
-"I'm in a rush to get to work and that car slows me down!"
-"Will it really impact my time that much?"
-"No it wont! Gosh darnit, then thats a stupid reason to be mad!!" ****Chakra slowly opens*******

First time i came across Near Death Experience case studies and Law of One material, i could feel my Chakras opening and my entire perspective changing.

You've heard of people going through hypnosis to rid themselves of cigarette addiction? They are essentially reprogramming the deep rooted mind (so i'm guessing).
