Understanding mankind

Below is an article I wrote some time ago that will help you to understand your fellow man. It is important that Christians especially understand this when they are dealing with other Christians. It will help you to understand exactly what makes you tick. ************************************************************************ THE HUMAN BRAIN (And it’s built in trap) by Art Corbit This article will explain something very important that very few understand. If we take a good look at our modern day lives it isn’t hard to see the many problems we all share. Ask yourself this question. Where did all these problems come from, what did we do to create them and why do we continue to do things to create even more problems? Actually the correct answer to that question is very simple. We simply do not correctly understand what is going on within our own human brain. If we did we wouldn’t do a lot of the things we do that creates problems for us and the others around us. That’s right, the problems you create not only effect you but also the others around you. Our own human brain has a trap built into it that causes it to lie to us and deceive us. Very few people know about this trap and even less know how it works. Now I will tell you exactly what this trap is, how it works, where it is located in your brain, how it functions and what you will have to do to eliminate it. First of all your human brain is nothing more than a number of super computers. In fact the PC you are probably reading this on was designed to duplicate some of the actions performed by the human brain. Any computer, including your human brain performs only 5 tasks. These are; #1. RECEIVE INFORMATION #2. PROCESS THAT INFORMATION #3. STORE INFORMATION #4. RETRIEVE INFORMATION FROM IT’S STORAGE SYSTEM #5. IT THEN EITHER USES THE INFORMATION IT HAS STORE OR IS RECEIVING FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE TO PERFORM CERTAIN ACTIONS. Unlike our PC which can perform several useful actions our human brain is concerned with only 1 single action. That is total and complete control of our entire human body. That means every thought we think, every word we speak and every move our bodies make in any direction. Believe me that covers everything. Now notice the one word that appears in each of these 5 functions of the human brain. INFORMATION. That is all our human brain uses. Period. The trap I speak of is found in the Processing and storage stage of the brain. In other words how it handles the information it receives and where it pouts it when it is finished processing it. One of the big problems is the fact that our brain only stores information under 3 different categories. These are either TRUE, FALSE OR UNCLASSIFIED. The unclassified doesn’t cause us any problems. In fact it is healthy for our brain to store information as unclassified. This is simply information we have received and our brain doesn’t have enough information to classify it as either true or false. It just tosses it in a box hoping to receive additional information at a later time that will prove it one way or the other. Very often it does and then it will store the information in either the true or false box. We are still not down to the very root of this thing yet. One of our big problems is the fact that we all have a head full of junk that is incorrectly stored. We simple have a lot of information stored in the true box that isn’t true and at the same time a lot of information stored in the false box that isn’t really false. To put it in simple terms we all believe a lot of crap to be true that is not true. Now we are going to get down to the actual root of our problems. This is exactly where every problem you and I face today came from. It’s the system out brain uses to classify the information it receives as either true or false that is the actual trap, and it’s a lu lu. As our brain receives information from an outside source it will very quickly compare that information against what it already has in its storage system that pertains to that subject. If you are receiving information most people would consider as true the first thing the brain does is check the true box. If it finds information that supports this belief then it will come back very quickly and inform you that the information you are receiving is also true. This may or may not be correct and here is why. The information your brain used to make its comparison that was in its storage system may not have been true. Your brain may have incorrectly classified this information years ago and all this time you have been believing it to be true when it was actually false. The only possible way for the classification system our brain uses to work correctly every scrap of information contained within our brain’s storage system MUST be absolutely correct and correctly stored. Why it is so important we correctly understand this is very simple. This is the information our own human brain uses to guide every thought we think, every word we speak and every move our bodies make in any direction. Here is something else to consider. The way our brain classifies information many times is determined by where the information is coming from. We have been taught and believe that certain people are more likely to tell us the truth. Many times this is true but many times it is not true. The fact that we have all been lied to in the past and deceived into believing it is causing us all kind of problems. This applies to everyone no matter who you are. We can never completely eliminate this trap in our short lifetime but we can lessen its effect on us by being a lot more careful who we listen to and double checking our information but first you have to understand what I just told you. A note to Christians; The more we understand about why someone does or says what they do the easier it is for us to forgive them. We must forgive others of their faults. Understand that God designed our human brain. Everything God made will work perfect but only as long as he is in control of it. We were to depend on God alone for our information. The storage system of our brain was to contain God's truth only. This is why Jesus knew what people were thinking even before they spoke. It is why He could not be deceived. Jesus already knew God's truth and you were not goiong to get anything past Him. I'm sure at some point God taught Jesus exactly what I am telling you. Jesus knew exactly why people thought and spoke as they did. So can we. The next time you are listening to someone talking think about what I have told you here and apply it. It will give you a better understanding of your fellow man. It will also give you a better understanding of yourself. We all need to seek God's real truth and replace all this junk information we have in our brains with it. Remember this; The only possible way to change your life is to first change the information your brain is using to control your life. This is the way God helps us change. He gives us His truth and then that truth starts controlling the thoughts we think, the words we speak and the moves our bodies make.
