So your attentional pinhole determines what you experience and what you
you experience is determined based on your beliefs.
So this is how we separate pain from suffering.
Pain is the 11 million bits of information.
Suffering is the interpretation of that information.
So whereas one person might say to themselves, oh, I'll give you an example.
Right now you started experiencing heart palpitation and getting sweaty and your muscles all of a sudden became sore and tight.
If that happened right now, Jeremy, we would have to rush you to the hospital, right?
Something would be very, very wrong with you.
But if all we did was change the context, let's just say we changed the story, and you felt the exact same signals, exact same information was happening, all the same physiological symptoms, but you were in the gym.
If you're in the gym, perfectly normal, nothing to be concerned about.
Same information, heartbreak, sweatiness, tight muscles, but different context, different.
Story.
And so this is how we separate pain from suffering.
Pain is just single.
And so we see case after case after case of literally being able to control feelings, right?
Not only our psychological feelings, but the state of our bodies, how our bodies feel to us.
Now we can't heal ourselves this way.
I don't believe in the placebo effects fixing bones and cancer.
That doesn't work.
