The word Mindless or Mindlessing is a complete idea that cannot grow or wander off into an overwhelming ideology, or branch off into a wild system of thought if understood properly.
That is, it cannot downgrade to a dictating belief with sensations, either positively or negatively charged, that RULE my world. Which wouldn’t matter either way, since each pole gets turned upside down numerous times a day (if not hour) whether I like it or not, when running on a default mind.
Let’s look at sensationalism ruling my life…
I worship my mental home, criticise yours, then I go back to self-worship again. This is all while I stay on the defensive as I perceive you and others attacking my home and my way of life.
Let’s look at sensationalism not ruling my life…
I understand the Core Mindless Idea or any idea you would like to nominate that describes ‘observing the full spectrum of pressure in the mind’. Therefore the idea is WHOLE and my mind promptly ends in no-idea, thus avoiding any energy-draining ensuing story.
From the start of the ‘Core Mindless Idea’ file, only one line of code is executed by my mind:
Mind:\> run mindless.idea -quietmode
‘Observe any internal pressures and processes that make up a known mind.’
If installed properly, the idea then closes off, creating a state of ‘psychological inactivity’. Or my mind defuses to a non-psychological state following my comprehension of the core program, which basically translates into “let’s not waste energy by trying to fix things with more thought”. Of course, this is only a short break until something else takes over in another idea, similar or not, taking me into another line of thinking with its own pressures.
At first, by habit, sure… I’ll spring back to my ‘trying to fix things’ complex as I’m new to this. However, it is now the ‘Great Beginning of The End’ if that makes sense. Consequently, as I learn how to not fixate on ideas that alleviate stress short term only, stronger ideas can take shape which will help me better navigate through life.
Another Benefit of Seeing It This Way
I become an able observer who rises above condemnation and glorification, the two extreme opposites that take my eye off the ball. Because when I’m not beating myself up as much over dramas that carry on, or when I’m not dazed in wonder and glory on a high, it means I see further ahead. I’m aware of the broader processes and bigger pictures as I have enabled myself to run more efficiently in line with the type of mind I carry.
Fluctuating dramas (↓) and wishful thinking or illusions (↑) devour my energy when I’m always up and down. So even a 10% cutback at the start will help every aspect of my mental performance.
How to cutback:
I exit the story/narrative but without using compensation from more thoughts in other opposite stories.
For example, a DOWNWARD story that contains controversy begs for an UPWARD tale that contains excitement, but I choose to leave rather than get caught up in the endless cycle of activity that would otherwise ensue.
