STOP THINKING FOR YOURSELVES

- you can be sure of one thing folks. that when you over think a thing you can be probably most certain that shit wont work out the way you have planned. the mind is a tricky thing. it thinks its the boss of you and why shouldnt it? its all alone with no one to talk to and can mistake its loud pronouncements and view of the world as a basis for ruler ship over the temple that is your body. i have made some pretty bad decisions based on what my mind thinks is the best way to do a thing. but really, how could it ever know what the best path when it has no precognitive abilities? for those of you who maintain that you have the power of foresight i offer up a less esoteric and more practical view on the subject. many people have a strong sense of intuition that i believe is cause by various aspects of the psychical body. did you know that your guts have more neurons than are in the human spinal cord? they send, receive and react to how we feel and often times create the emotions we have based on our level of irritation or pleasure in our brain~gut. its called the “the enteric nervous system” and it controls us silently, if we let it, to better decisions based not on our logic or experiences but the primal needs of our bodies to be protected and safe. you have all met people who make you sick and now you know why. cuz they are gross somehow to your perfect lil guts. our lymphatic system is a labyrinth of highly tuned feelers ready to tell you to get the fuck out. it knows just where to go and what to do. if we only learned to trust our gut and left the paperwork to our minds i imagine we’d have a world of less insane mind driven super freaks. no human body is crazy. just the brain parts. instead, listen to your gut and trust your brain farts. take it from me, talking out your ass is an art form. …too much? i’m done anyway.
