A famous explorer of the mind once asked “Who owns the space between your ears?” As strange as that question might sound, it is one that we each need to deeply consider. Perhaps you’re familiar with the term GIGO? It refers to “garbage in, garbage out,” when referring to computers. Our brains are somewhat analogous. Think of your brain as a computer and your thoughts as programs. Who does the programming?For most of our lives, our brains are fed data from sources that are not, in all instances, unbiased or even credible. In fact, most of the information we receive, especially from mass media, is designed to elicit some desired response from us… such as buying something, be it an idea or a product. Usually this works through by-passing our critical thinking circuits in order for us to accept as true some “reality tunnel” or perspective that does not serve our own best interests, but those of someone other than ourselves.Our minds have been colonized as part of the final frontier for imperialistic forces to plunder for their amusement and profit. (Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?) Well, for those who think such a state of affairs impossible and merely another bit of science-fiction, it’s time to pull out your ear plugs and tear off your eye shades. If you’re already a Free Thinker, I salute you. If you’re not sure what that means. You’re in the right neighborhood.I hope that you’ll take the time to not only visit some of the very many links you’ll find at my other blog, www.freethinkersplayground.com, but will share your thoughts with me and others.Before we can transform the world, we must first transform ourselves. In order to do this, we must De-colonize our thinking and be free to think. The REVOLUTION BEGINS IN YOUR MIND.~John Martin
