By observing our thoughts objectively, as Gurdjieff and others have suggested, it is gets easier and easier to discover this automatic reaction to ideas, situations, and of course judgements of other people.
It occurred to me how fascinating it is that our powerful technology – computers and integrated circuits – have been programmed in precisely this same way – using On-Off and Zero-One to do more and more complex calculations.
It is almost as though we have unconsciously followed the pattern of our own minds in creating these devices in a form of bio-mimicry.
And it is worth noting that there is a movement beyond this in computing; new quantum computers are no longer limited to this binary form of calculation but can handle many more options, presumably including even paradoxes and anomalies in what we call artificial intelligence.
But it isn’t always easy to imagine exactly how we can move from this programmed tendency to think only in terms of twos or opposites....<<<Read More>>>...
