That said, to throw a further spanner in the "you're here for growth, not to get easy answers" works, I read the
neuro plasticity article and it resonates with my suspicion that thought can indeed change the brain to a certain degree, it's just that we're not really good at applying it (kind of like the LoA, etc).
Most of what I write is based on research, but a large part is based on experience, and the quest to utilise human potential. So while I may espouse certain research and theories, I am merely using them as labels for a phenomena. What they point it will continue to evolve, and our understanding about it will deepen. But that's just how life works.
People like to think of science as absolute; I like to think of science as an interesting, yet very limited perspective that reflects our current development. So long as you understand that, you can use the "labels" you encounter in the field of science without getting bogged down in immutable knowledge of "what is."
Do understand, though; this doesn't discount what we currently know. It just gives us a better view of the bigger picture. I like to think of things in terms of complete and incomplete, not right or wrong. It's all just a matter of perspective.
Now you can commence being confused.
To help with that, perhaps buy Steve's book.
