What is of specific and uncommon interest to the few, is how this arrangement between the brain’s consciousness and all of its other vital operations, which never enter the arena of thought, work on a man regarding the activity of promises made but never kept. Not concerning behavior but consciousness itself. Not that, “I will stop smoking,” but that, “I will stop consciousness from drifting.” Not just a whole new ball game, but one moved into hyperspace.
Consciousness can conceive of a condition in which it can decide that the man it inhabits should lose weight, but one in which his stomach will not cooperate to that end. It is understandable and it makes sense, but such a condition is inconceivable to consciousness. Literally – regarding decisions it makes about itself, after all, if consciousness decided to never again think of weight then who is there to stop it from doing so?
The stomach does not care what consciousness thinks about. There is nothing else in man that has any interest in, indeed, even any awareness of, what consciousness thinks about, (as long as it does not concern survival), so consciousness can change ITS’ behavior any way it wants to and with no interference by anyone.
Another problem solved;
another vexing question neatly resolved –
so what’s stopping you?
