Cognitive Bias

Psychology calls "filters", cognitive biases. There are literally hundreds of cognitive biases. 

Some examples are:

  • Confirmation Bias

  • Framing Effect

  • Herd Mentality

  • Loss Aversion

  • Gambler's Fallacy

  • Impostor Syndrome

What do all of these psychological terms have in common?

-They were all created by the mind, the operating system.

-The mind used thoughts and reasoning to concoct beliefs.

-These beliefs are cognitive biases.

-These cognitive biases are the filters through which we view and experience our version of the world.

How does this happen? 

How are we creating so many filters, erroneous beliefs and confirmation biases in our lives? 

How Can I Awaken?

The mind can not make an awakening happen. The mind is the co-pilot, the computer, the operating system here to assist the real you, the Observer. The experience of this truth must rise independently from within. 

So what's a thinking mind to do? No worries, the mind may not be able to create an awakening, but it sure can do a lot to invite and facilitate an awakening. 

Start small. Start here. Start now.

Noticing your own thought is a practice that you can do practically anywhere. You don't need any special equipment, and it's free. This one tiny practice has the potential to change your life experience. 

Being the Eyewitness to thought invites and facilitates awakening.

It's time to discover and dump what holds you down. ....Clear the runway!
