This inherited mechanism is, of course, a survival mechanism that helps us to weed out all of the useless information that’s coming in through our senses at any given time, but it can go overboard and prevent us from seeing USEFUL information as well.
I’ve read some fascinating books about the concept of “self-deception”, and I’ve come to realize that we humans have an amazing capacity for not seeing what’s there… to the point where it can be very detrimental to us.
A lot of our cultural and social programming is wayyyyyyyy “off-base” to some degree, which may cause us to see things and interpret things incorrectly when we do ‘see’ them.
In parallel, we humans rarely like to alter and/or change our beliefs about things. We don’t like to admit that we might be wrong in the first place, and we feel unstable or insecure when we realize that a fundamental truth we have held all our life may be incorrect.
I believe that it’s vitally important in life to continually question YOUR OWN beliefs about how things work and what is possible. I think it’s also good to constantly question your LIMITING beliefs.
Unfortunately, most people do the opposite…they question their ability to succeed and they doubt their own ability to get what they want, constantly “self-sabotaging” themselves.
If instead, you question your LIMITATIONS and your LIMITING BELIEFS, and you constantly look with your own eyes to see if there’s something going on that nobody mentioned to you, then you’ll begin to see things that will blow your mind.
