Transcending Daily Bounds

It seems to me that we create environments for our brains to get used to, to adapt to and be comfortable with. And we can change how it behaves by changing its environment. It’s like us. It takes time to change and adapt. But perhaps that’s another thing we can affect. We get the brain used to the perception of time and the need for it for changes to take effect, when really that’s just what we’ve accustomed ourselves to and integrated into our perspectives of everything, such as the world around us. Perhaps, with one change in our thinking, our brains can evolve and adapt to something new, something better. We’re used to relying on what’s most comfortable for us, what’s most familiar. We fall into patterns of habit that we’re made to think are best, are correct. But what if everything we know is wrong? We limit ourselves with our familiarity with things, when in reality, nothing is limited. It’s something that science and mathematics teach us. Everything we know can be wrong, everything we know can change. Perhaps a rebuilding of our entire foundation is worthwhile, or even necessary. If we wish to move forward, change must come. In our very core selves, in our very basic ways of existing, of thinking. What even is thinking? What could it possibly mean? What if our words that we use to communicate with ourselves, our surroundings, our being, our existences, and those around us, are a large limiting factor to what we see, what we know? What if images and sounds are better, or what if they’re also old ways of thinking that can be changed? Maybe we can see more than our senses know, perhaps we can be entirely new as a species, mentally, through a simple widening of our perspectives. Maybe perspective itself is a lie. Perhaps being so comfortable with what we know, we think to transcend what’s around us using what we already know, but we are wrong. It’s very probable that a wholly and completely new foundation, from the ground up, can give us an entirely new brain. We’re always changing, we’re always finding new things. We’re always learning more. But we never use it nor really fully apply it. Perhaps the world is a lie in its current state. There is no wrong or right. There is merely opinion, the absorption of matter around us, of information, knowledge, and the acclimation of ourselves to such things. We ponder and produce. But is this product truly worth everything we have and know? Or are we simply misguided?
What does it really mean to be… Here? What does it really mean to know anything? What if the very words we rely on so dearly to make sense of the world around us are the very limiting factors to ourselves and our own existences?

“Cogito, ergo sum.” Is that really true? Philosophers have existed since before we had a word for them, and yet we rely so heavily on their capacity for thought. Sure, some realisations may seem brilliant. But the constant state of “this is correct” that we’ve grown so accustomed to is the very reason we are limited. We cannot keep relying on what we know. Sure, it can inspire new neurological links that can lead to greatness in thought. But what even is greatness?

There’s a tide coming, a powerful one, that will uproot everything we think we know, and enlighten humanity to seek out the unknown, to surrender their former identities and create entirely new worlds to exist in. The method. We all need a change.
