In truth, the body is the servant of the mind. It follows that if the body
has become the mind, the servant has become the master. And the former
master (the conscious mind) has gone to sleep. The mind might think it’s
still in charge, but the body is influencing decisions equal to its memorized
emotions.
Now, let’s say the mind wants to get back in control. What do you think
the body is going to say?
Where have you been? Go back to sleep. I’ve got it together here. You
don’t have the will, the persistence, or the awareness to do what I have been
doing all this time while you were unconsciously following my orders. I
even modified my receptor sites over the years in order to serve you better.
You thought you were running things, while I have been influencing you all
along and urging you to make all of your decisions equal to what feels right
and familiar.
And when the 5 percent that is conscious is going against 95 percent that
is running subconscious automatic programs, the 95 percent is so reflexive
that it only takes one stray thought or a single stimulus from the
environment to turn on the automatic program again. Then we’re back to
same old, same old—thinking the same thoughts, performing the same
actions, but expecting something different to happen in our lives.
When we try to regain control, this is when the body signals the brain to
begin talking us out of our conscious goals. Our internal chatter comes up
with a battery of reasons why we should not attempt to do anything out of
the ordinary, not break out of the habituated state of being that we’re used
to. It will pick up all of our weaknesses, which it knows and fosters, and
hurl them at us one by one.
We create worst-case scenarios in our minds so that we don’t have to rise
above those familiar feelings. Because when we try to break the internal
chemical order we have made so second nature, the body goes into chaos.
Its internal badgering feels nearly irresistible—and plenty of times, we
succumb.
