Roy's Journal

Thanks for posting @roy, I will just highlight the below as there is some of that ‘human wisdom’ which needs to be put under the microscope there :

This is the kind of flavour of evolutionary psychology that would deem the mind/brain to be at fault, as it evolved only to serve our brute survival and reproduction.

Interestingly enough it is actually the other way around! It is not the mind/brain leading ‘us’ (humanity) astray. Rather it is ‘me’ (the identity) which is as if a parasite inhabiting this flesh and blood body and thus leading this mind/brain astray. In a PCE ‘I’ go into abeyance and then finally this mind/brain is able to operate freely, with amazing clarity.

So in actualism it is not the mind/brain that needs to change, rather it is ‘me’ that is discovered to be the cause of all the problems.

Richard wrote that the identity is extremely cunning, and what better way to hide ‘myself’ than to reverse the order of operations, then the blame can be shifted where ‘I’ cannot be found.
