There is increasing scientific evidence that people don't know their own selves (Self-Perception Theory) can't predict own feelings over time (Impact Bias) and they're not always sure of the reason of their actions and attitudes (Cognitive Dissonance).We can in fact, once we know the meanings of these terms and start observing our behaviour, easily make sure that they're valid in everybody's life.

Some Ground Rules

Try to find some basic simple fact about yourself that:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Is not a self-fulfilling pofecy.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Holds true in consideration of other actions, feelings and attitudes.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Most importantly, can't be defied even if you tried hard enough (and smart enough).</li></ul>Could you find ? If yes, how many ?

What Do You Know About Yourself?

Of course there might be some facts that fulfill the conditions above, however there can't be many of them, which leads us to the fact that there is a serious limitation in what we know as constant about ourselves, however this also gives us a very rare opportunity.

What Do You Know About Yourself

In a great book by James Clear called (Atomic Habits) the author talks about the most important and powerful source of any persistent habit we have, and that is our beliefs about ourselves (identity habits) and presents a simple approach "not easy though" to reversly change the identity beliefs by building up habits and persevering them.

You Can Be What You Want!

That the self we know is the some of our past daily small actions, beliefs and thoughts. So will be our future self!That there are too few (if any) constant unchangable things about ourselves and our behaviours.In other words, ourselves and lives can literally shaped by us (if we pay close attention and intention), So kind of you do you want to be...?

Which Leads Us Here

A small note on the power of one's beliefs and their effects on his life...

Understand yourself and those around you.

You can find God in everything and in everybody because his existence is not defined in a mosque or a temple or a church. But if you still need to know where to find him there is nowhere but the heart of a true lover.

Finding God

Love and mind are of two different natures. Mind connects people with boundaries and there is no fear in that, love on the other hand, disolves all boundaries and involves great risk. The mind brakes your actions and asks you to be cautious, while love pushes you right throught the dangers of having real experiences no matter what. It's not easy for the mind to break down, love however crumbles itself easily, and how many treasures were found between the wreckage.

Love And Mind

The Forty Rules of Love

The book presents the seeking of power as an ultimate purpose of life, some of the events that happen in the book seems to be unnatural, however; the tips (for living a powerful life) presented by don juan (the wise one in the novel) seem to be valid and really inspiring.

What Does The Book Have To Say?

You, on the other hand, feel that you are immortal, and the decisions of an immortal man can be cancelled or regretted or douted. In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is only time for decisions

Personal history is the information that you told other people about. So Having personal history makes you obligated to renew that history every time you do or have something new going on in your life, there is no power in such a life, on the other hand, with no personal history no explanation is needed, nobody is angry or disillusioned with your acts, and no one pins you down with their thoughts!

Erase Your Personal History

Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of psychotropic plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda immersed himself in the sorcerer’s magical world. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along—psychotropic plants are merely a means to understanding alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one’s own. Journey to Ixtlan introduces these clear new ideas—omitted from Castaneda’s classic volumes The Teachings of Don Juan and A Separate Reality—to the reader for the first time. Castaneda explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final voyage into the teachings of don Juan, and shares with us what it is like to truly "stop the world" and perceive reality on his own terms.

Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda immersed himself in the sorcerer’s magical world entirely. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along—that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one’s own.

Carlos Castaneda was an Latin-American author. Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, Castaneda wrote a series of books that describe his training in shamanism, particularly with a group whose lineage descended from the Toltecs. The books, narrated in the first person, relate his experiences under the tutelage of a man that Castaneda claimed was a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus. His 12 books have sold more than 28 million copies in 17 languages. Critics have suggested that they are works of fiction; supporters claim the books are either true or at least valuable works of philosophy.

Journey To Ixtlan

The human brain has a long period of time to reach the current shape, however, many factors that played a major role in shaping our brain, started to disappear for a while now. Like hunger and the permanant search for food, and shelter etc...While nowadays, with the absence of ancient dangers, and the availability of food, surely made some flaws in the ways our brains work.

How Did We Get Here

Your brain is always for the your lost happiness outside your possessions so you may find it very common for a lot of people to be very eager to getting something then throwing it away after a short period of time without even knowing why they wanted it in the first place.

Many Things You See Are Amazing... Until You Have Them

Your brain is a problem searching machine, the simpleness of the present moment makes it a place where no problem that instantly may bother you can exist, sure you can worry about some that might happen, but this is future, you can worry about something happened recently but that's the past, and you be annoyed about something that is happening right now, but you are not doing what's needed to alleviate the annoyance, or even more difficultly you are not accepting what's not in your capability to change.

The Present Is Always Outside Your Radar

As the brain evolved, it came naturally that chemical reaction is the most efficient way to get the fastest response when in danger, and the same applies when in fantasies.So whatever you think about will most likely produce the same reaction in your brain that an actual thing that happened produces. Or in other words "the brain doesn't always differentiate between facts and fiction, all happened where the mind was".
