Are human’s hackable? Are machines hackable? The answer to both of these questions is yes. There is really no difference between the matter we as humans are made of and the atoms that computers are made from, after all..
“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather.” -Bill Hicks
Reprogramming the mind and body is about repetition, I’ve had plenty of physical reprogramming in my life. Years of extreme sports has left me in a bit of misalignment to say the least haha. A small metal change holds a number of vertebrae in place. Retraining that injury can’t hold a candle to retraining the mind.
I have been practicing cognitive brain therapy (CBT) for at least a decade. Belief in the positive energy and frequencies of the universe, along with trying to keep a positive mental attitude (PMA -thanks Bad Brains) has helped me re-wire my thoughts.
After a while the behavior becomes second nature and allows the practitioner to engage in the behavior subconsciously. Last week when Dano talked about the app WeCroak I thought it was morbid and kind of odd. But I sat with the idea of using to try and re-wire some stress related thinking. Five times a day a notification reminds me that “You Will Die”, this forces me to stop and rethink if the stress I’m feeling at that specific time is worth the energy used to continue those thoughts. I’ve been using it for five days at this point and it actually work pretty good. The momentary reminder and then mental reflection really allows me to re-center myself.
I think I will continue this for at least a month to see what kind of changes I can see. Its actually a pretty interesting idea, it serves to remind you that perception is reality especially when it is in your head about yourself, and it also helps to normalize death which is not something western culture deals with particularly well.
