“The human brain has evolved to reflect–it is the universe reflecting on itself.

The problem is that the brain does not think very well. Reason is supplanted again and again by raw emotion, or by our emotional attachment to our beliefs. Each person’s brain holds beliefs, values, and attitudes that have been shaped by parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, and even television commercials.

These beliefs and values are actually contained in brain circuits. They’re part of the physiology of the brain. As such, they act as ‘frames’ or ’schema’ that shape our response to everything. What we believe decides what we are able to see or hear or are willing to think.”
