THE LAST SURVIVING DINOSAUR

Once upon a time, many difficult years ago, there was a baby dinosaur called a Mens Humanusaurus Rex, living in a primordial soup of thoughts. One day, something unusual happened to this baby dinosaur, and a bunch of pure-chance ideas popped out of the thought-soup the dinosaur was swimming in. He grabbed a couple of those ideas and started thinking about them. Soon he formed an Opinion that he thought made sense of what had just happened. In order to appease his ignorance, he developed a Conclusion from his Opinion, and that conclusion quickly hardened into a rock-solid Belief.

And although, in his baby ignorance, he was mistaken in his original conclusions, he's clung steadfastly to his concepts, ideas, opinions and beliefs ever since. Older than the shark, the crocodile, and the Burrunjor, the human mind still roams wide and free, shoulding and musturbating over everything it considers a threat to its dominance.

The Human Mind is an arch parasite, using our species for its existence. In its addiction to be right, it will kill even its hosts – you and me – it has no choice about that.

But we do.

Consider this. Victims of mensis humanusaurus rex, otherwise known as Ego, hang onto memories of one or two wins they may have had decades ago with each of their beliefs, and have gone on ever since using them to justify their actions and losses. How's that for a definition of a Loser?

But it need not be so. We have a choice. Is my ego, or me in charge? Is it who I think I am, or “I Am” that has the final say?

That's up to me – and you.
