Are You Awake?

This is how I can chose to wake up!  A meme is an idea.   A meme is like a virus; This is a metaphor.  We have learned a great deal about viruses in 2020.  Advertisers, politicians and religious leaders use memes to rapidly spread ideas.

Viruses can be highly contagious and even deadly.  Memes can be constructive or destructive.  These ideas can make our lives dramatically better or lead us to disease and death.

Memes affect our subconscious mind.  90-95 percent of our thinking is subconscious, below the level of conscious awareness.  When I tie my shoes, I do not think about it.  I just do it.  This is because after so many years, I have acquired the skills subconsciously.  I can think about other things when I tie my shoes.

The subconscious mind develops after a baby is conceived until its seventh birthday.  The subconscious mind is like a five year old’s thinking, very concrete and living in the present.  It is simple and prefers clarity.

Memes are designed with issues of sex and survival as well as protecting of those we love.  These are the forces that move our subconscious mind.

Many of us are manipulated without even realizing that we are being influenced.  Have your ever hear of subliminal advertising?  Why would successful corporations spend millions of dollars on such strategies, if they do not work?

When we have a bad habit, we have difficulty stopping a behavior.  I may do something over and over, even though I do not want to consciously.  I make a New Year’s Resolution to eat better.  Yet I find myself eating Panda Express Honey Walnut Shrimp.  We are programmed to make choices with memes.

Most importantly, we can rewrite our subconscious programming.  Memory Reconsolidation scientifically proves that we can change.  We can rewire our brain.  We can change our subconscious programming.  We have a choice.  We can wake up.  We can be objective and empowered.  This is exciting!
