would be as automatic and familiar to you as those self-limiting emotions
you just changed.
So now you need to replicate this experience of thinking, feeling, and
acting out of compassion. If you do, you will break the addiction of your
past emotional state and neurochemically condition your body and mind to
memorize the internal chemical state called compassion better than your
conscious mind. Ultimately, if you repeatedly re-create the experience of
compassion at will, practicing it independent of any circumstance in your
life, your body would become the mind of compassion. You would
memorize compassion so well that nothing from your outside world could
move you from this state of being.
Now all three brains are working together; and you are biologically,
neurochemically, and genetically in a state of compassion. When
compassion becomes unconditionally ordinary and familiar for you, you
have progressed from knowledge to experience to wisdom.

The Role of Our Two Memory Systems
We have three brains that allow us to evolve from thinking to
doing to being. Take a look at this chart:
