Everything that is expressed and recorded externally, such as cell phones, computers, memos, books, and drawings, is an extension of the brain. Our brains aren’t just inside our bodies. This concept is important because extending the ego greatly influences how we see the world. We pay close attention to topics that involve us personally. Self-relevance is a key factor that drives our lives. Personal relationships and possessions get a lot of focus, while other areas seem less important. This is due to a feature of the human brain called ‘selective cognition.’ As civilization advanced, humans delegated parts of the brain’s functions to machines. It was inevitable to make good use of these tools. We should take an interest in the Homo Faber. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The Awakening Formula: [Mine = all of my properties - borrowed - inherited - gifted - stolen - cheated out of]. If you exceed this “mine,” it’s time to wake up. All economic activities should commence with the amount you consider to be a genuine “mine.” It is essential to view it as a sin to enjoy anything “first” or “more” than that. Caring for what belongs to you is the initial step toward success and the foundation of life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
