If, on the other hand, it is a service dog, it doesn't matter how frightened you are, it is unlikely to attack.in the same way, with people, we operate from our preconceptions about others so we think because that person voted in a particular way, we think we know how they are going to reactand don't we also do this with ourselves? We think we are a particular way: I always do this or never do that and that means it will go this waywhat we are doing is referencing who we've been in the past and we can get stuck - 'this is how it's always gone before. If it is an attack dog, it doesn't matter how many good feelings you have about this dog, it is likely to attack. Which person is right?It's easy to think both are right but what if neither is right?Neither person knows this particular dog. The other person was chased by a Doberman when she was a child and fell off her bike.she feels fear when she sees the Doberman.
One person grew up with Dobermans and loves them and has a feeling of warmth and excitement. again and againwhen everything we perceive is self-referenced ie what does this say about me? and interestingly when we're not doing that and we are just experiencing life, unfiltered.noticing what happens when we aren't making stories with us at the center of themif you go out and sit with a tree and remove the label 'tree' and just experience it freshwhen we experience the label we are not seeing the living thing in front of ussame with people, we stop seeing the person, you are seeing all your opinions about themthe story of two people in a room when someone comes into the room with a Doberman.
Here’s what we explored:we are horrible at predicting the futurewe can make up very negative stories about the futurethose stories can disturb and discombobulate uswe ruminate about the past or worry about the future when we're in a low state of mindin a better state of mind, the unknown can be excitingwhen we feel insecure the things we worry about look truein a better state of mind, those problems aren't presenttrying to pretend we don't feel insecure isn't the answeracknowledging when we feel insecure that the problems look true is a kind of honoringit's interesting to notice how uncomfortable we are with being uncomfortablewhen we feel insecure what exactly is threatened?Carla notices how much she dislikes physical discomfort - she works very hard to mitigate discomfortcuriosity is a very valuable thing - it's like taking off the blinders.lack of curiosity creates tunnel visiondiscomfort can manifest emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spirituallya feeling of wanting to crawl out of our skinwho is suffering when we feel discomfort?it is the mind that is suffering, not who we are at our essencedo we become what we are feeling? We feel irritated so we become a ball of irritationwe are not experiencing what is out there, we are experiencing our perception of what's out therelike with an old outboard motor, you can take the cover off and diagnose what's going onwhen we don't understand how the mind works, we are at the mercy of how we feel and we don't have any agencyeven when we do understand that we are at the effect of what looks true to us, not the world out there.
