Understanding Ourselves

Understanding ourselves may not always be easy, but it is certainly interesting to enter into a deep, contemplative mode in our thoughts and attempt a self-analysis.

Interestingly enough, we may or may not make notes, or even mental notes of our self-analysis.

It really does seem to matter whether we do or not, as the data remains in our thought processes, even though it may appear to be dormant or latent, at times. In other words, it is not always at the forefront of our thinking.

Normally, we have the ability to extract the same information any time we wish to do so. We can pull up that data again and again, if we choose. There is no limit on the number of times that we can think about something.

Even more astounding is the reality that if our thought processes are interrupted for some reason, we can return to those same thoughts again, whenever we have an opportunity to do so. We can turn on our contemplative mode, at any time. We can also exit out of it whenever.

Realizing that our minds and thoughts are virtually amazing, in so many different ways, we begin to see how important it is that we stay mentally healthy and protect ourselves from anything that might alter our minds, or our ability to function in terms of our thought processes.

Just some thoughts to think about, for those who think it is all right to use mind- altering drugs. Once the damage is done to our brains, it is done. Can our minds be restored, once damaged? Maybe not.

Enjoy that contemplative mode? Do not do anything that might destroy it as it might be gone forever if you do.
