Why do you think, speak and act as you do?

I couldn't help but chuckle a little at that one. :-) Actually you are not all that far off. We are constantly being controlled but good and bad information. We have picked this information up over time from a million different sources and it is now stored withing our brain's storage system.
Very often people forget we are always totally being controlled by our brain. That's it's job and it quietly does it's thing without us even noticing. Every thought we think, every word we speak and every move our bodies make in any direction is always being totally controlled by our little pea brain. To be more exact, by the information our brain is using to do it's job.
First we need to understand exactly what our brain is and then we can start to learn how it works. Our human brain is nothing more than a super computer. Any computer performs only 5 functions. That is; #1. receive information. #2. Process the information it receives. #3. store the information it has processed. #4. retrieve information from it's storage system. #5. It then either uses the information it has in it's storage system or is receiving at the time to totally control our human bodies.
If you think something or say something you believe you shouldn't then look at the information that generated that thought or word. What have you come to believe that triggered that thought or word. We all have a head full of false information and our brain uses that too to control us. I'll stop her for now. I don't want to overload anyone. If you want to hear more just let me know. There is a lot more to it but I don't want to put it all in one post.

Installment #2. The Human Brain
What if I told you there is a trap built into our human brain that allows our own brain to lie to us and deceive us? What if I can show you where that trap is and show you how to control it's effect on you? Just keep reading and I will.
First of all any computer, including our human brain must use some kind of comparison system. It must compare information it is receiving against something it already has within it's storage system. This is the only way the computer, (or brain) can know how to handle the information it is receiving. It's the method our brain used to process and store the information within our brains that is causing us serious problems.
The processing stage of the brain. From the time you started to read what I have written your brain was asking one question. "Is the information I am receiving true or is it false?. Its the method our brain uses to establish this that is causing the problems.
The information stored within our brain. Information is only stored in our brain under 3 different categories. These are either true, false or unclassified. Here is what is happening. As you are receiving information your brain very quickly compares the information you are receiving against anything it has in storage that agrees with it. If I say something to you and your brain finds information stored in the true box that agrees with what I say your brain will come back very quickly and inform you that what I said is also true. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE. This method of determining the true quality of information we receive will only work correctly if every scrap of information stored in our brain is absolute fact.
This trap was placed there by God Himself. This was to assure God that we would not fair very well if we chose to rely on other sources of information other than Him.If we had stuck with God and depended on Him only to teach and guide us then our brains would be function absolutely perfect but this is not the case. We all have a head full of junk information that is not correctly classified nor correctly stored. Our brain goes right on using this information to make it's comparisons. Our own brain is deceiving us into believing that some of the information we receive is true fact and it is not. The same applies to information we believe to be false.
Understanding what I have just told you will help you to sidestep some of the problems this is causing. You can look a lot closer at the information you accept as truth and you can slow down on the quick decisions. Things like this will help. However there is only one cure for this condition and you ain't going to like it. Remember in the Bible it tells us God will renew our minds? When we are Anointed with the Holy Ghost God can then give us the ability to see and hear His real truth. This is the only possible way for us to ever be able to get out of the mess this trap is putting us in. Once you truly understand how this works you will see mankind different than you did before and you will be much better at dealing with them. We are all simply doing what we have been taught to do. Our Christian teachers are not doing their job and we are all paying for it.

Beautifully said, and you're very right about our Christian teachers not doing their jobs.

I think that speaking and actions change throuout time. I know I acted completly different when I was a child, and then different again as a teenager, and of course different now as an adult as well.
When you are a child I belive that you speak and act like your parents or your family. As you grow, you learn more and begin thinking and acting differently.
I belive that we never stop growing inside, and that we never stop learning.
Just tink about something that happened ten years ago and think of how you would handle it now at whatever age you are.
This is how I can tell that I've continued to grow and learn, and with that goes change, in speaking and actions.
have a great day.Hope I helped.
