The neuro tribe of bipolar is trying to change the environment so we can sustain our perceptions

from Bipolar Inquiry · host Andrea

and the paper on memes talked about how there are memes that need to modify their environment in order to survive and I feel like in a beautiful environment those memes would survive better so if somebody is having sort of altruistic and and spiritual means come through them and they're in a beautiful place that's going to be more sustainable than say if one's walking down the most poverty-stricken street in their City and I also feel those sorts of memes are going to alter the environment and that's what I talked about with the neuro tribe of bipolar is that it's actually trying to change the environment to actually have one be able to sustain those perceptions and I feel like one of the most fundamental things about the whole process is that it's trying to restore us to learning the whole process of bipolar is a learning process for sure and we usually learn about in terms of illness and then I think that actually collapses the infinite unfolding learning process that it's supposed to be because it's then oh I'm this person with this mental illness and these are my symptoms instead of it's just all unfolding and constantly learning and new insights and perceptions all the time and I wrote down that there's no separate person with a mental illness the fact that we think we're separate people is the mental illness the ego is an illness and the supposed mental illness comes in and breaks up the ego structure which appears as mental illness and I think I wrote down bipolars are like entropy it's an increase in randomness but I think this is for the arising of a different order it's taking that linear ego structure and breaking it up and because of that we have access to more information because that ego state actually wastes energy because its processing old information which is like not processing anything at all so when that breaks down we start to process more information because it's not in the way anymore we have access to more information and a lot of times when it's related to the ego that's when like past karma or this life karma comes up or the collective unconscious because we probably were supposed to sort of be accessing and unfolding that with that all the time throughout her life but it built up because the ego structure blocked that energy from actually flowing and I was even watching a video on flow again and they talked about how they find it so fascinating that the brain actually is less active in flow and that's again because all of this activity is a bunch of energy being wasted so when the brain is less active the energy is kind of flowing through the brain and it's more powerful to have energy flowing through instead of bouncing around in the prefrontal cortex doing all these things that are supposedly higher levels of function in the brain when those higher levels of function have been hijacked and are wasting our energy instead of just using it when need be to calculate how to get from A to B it's talking about old memories and things and so we're not actually in the present moment and they talked about flow how it's all about being in the present moment well one doesn't have to do extreme sports in order to be in the present moment that's why people are meditating and all this stuff in order to get into the present moment so the thing that we actually tout the highest our prefrontal cortex and all of its musings is the thing that gets in the way and is in the way of us actually being present and all that stuff is actually the ego stuff and that's the stuff we try to band-aid back up which is this ego dopamine complex happening when the process of map consciousness and trans consciousness is trying to break that down so the energy can flow through and then when the Energy starts flowing through because it's breaking down this ego process is still trying to make associations and abstractions and yet there's more energy and information coming through so it's infinitely confusing I like what Alan Watts sa
