Remembering science helps with "The Work"

[Menna]

I find it very helpful that this forum contains a place to discuss the work and the science behind why we are mechanical and animalistic in nature. When on the forum I spend most of my time in these two sections and I find myself remembering my thoughts in life and then labeling what I am doing from a scientific viewpoint. I was trying to make a decision yesterday and then realized that my way of thinking at that moment was "splitting" when I put the science or a label to what we do mechanically it helps me FEEL the energy the emotion associated with that type of split thinking because I put myself in the moment by (self) remembering. When I remember myself splitting I can FEEL the state I am in when I was splitting . If I may use an analogy here just like a stove is hot and we don't touch it because it will hurt us we know the FEEL is pain I am now trying not to split by remembering the feeling of splitting (hot stove) because thinking in this way can also hurt us. Maybe the pain isn’t as sharp or sudden but a choice driven by thoughts has action and action has consequence to choose the right thoughts right actions will only increase our chances of experiencing the "right" or in my opinion better consequences/experiences.

I feel that we don't only gain knowledge in the intellectual center but based on experience we gain knowledge in the emotional center too. A being acting from the higher intellectual and higher emotional center working in perfect union must open one up to more enjoyable experiences.
