The abyss of what never was.

Hello world. The following was written 4/22/2018.

A brother had posted about cognitive dissonance late last night. The following was the dialogue that followed my initial response to his commentary and our other brothers responses to my comment.

My brother shares, “I’m learning that trying to make integrated points to one with advanced layers of Cognitive dissonance is almost impossible -

I mean I’m not Steven hawking ..so I don’t know how to break down that level of mental confusion-

And time here is to be cherished not squandered.”

My response, “I have learned that when I share my personal experiences and the lessons learned through them as the example it cuts right through all the layers at once.”

My brother responds, “Keep it to personal and it may provide a compassionate curiosity long enough for them to see the gaps in their thinking.”

My response, “The sharing of the experience helps them to see themselves in your place. It also helps them to see there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel they find themselves in. It helps them to stop seeing you as above or below them and instead has them seeing you as their equal in all ways.”

Another brother responds, “Or just keep it real without a thought of changing someone’s mind. Stay true to your personal experience regardless of outcome.”
