We not only can learn how to turn it off, Michael, we can direct it to think about exactly what we want it to think about.
It takes practice, practice, practice.
It's a skill, and over time, we can learn to change the channel, we can learn to put the program on that we want, we can learn to direct it to think about topics that we wanna think about, and we can learn to turn it off.
That's why I say the mind is our tool to use, but it's not the boss.
It wants to be the boss.
It does, but it's not.
In 1968, I was sitting in a seminar with Dr. Fritz Perls, Frederick Perls, the founder of something called Gestalt Therapy.
And Fritz was already experimenting using closed circuit video.
And I was in a group therapy with him at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California.
And I watched the video.
And when I saw myself on the video, I realized that I was what's called caught up in thought.
I was so involved with my thinking that I was not paying attention to what was going on in the room.
We have all had that experience.
And some of us have even had the experience of thinking so intensely that we've missed turns when we're driving.
In fact, I was driving one time and thinking so intensely that I missed the turnoff to Tahoe to go skiing.
And before I realized where I was, I was 45 minutes down the road at Reno, Nevada.
So that was an intense thing.
I see you're shaking your head.
So you know what I'm talking about, how you can think so much that you lose sight of what's in front of you.
Okay.
