The Vestige Remains of Prey Animals in the Human Mind.

We are a lot like cows, like herd animals.

We are social creatures that use group dynamics to enhance our chance of survival.

We stick together, we eat together, we help each other.

We also defend ourselves like cows do.

A cow won't show a weakness unless they can't help it.

Till an infection turns into a painful limp.

Human do this too.

We disguise our pain with our ability to bare it.

Putting on our best poker face because we know there are wolves out there.

Predators are waiting for signs of weakness.

Wolves eat the young, the sick, the old, the dying.

Standing out from the herd is dangerous and nothing stands out more than weakness.

Men carry this knowledge in their DNA.

We have not evolved past this inheritance.

But instead of protecting ourselves from wolves, we are now protecting ourselves from each other.

Man is both prey and predator.

Servant and master.

We hid our wounds from each other.

Others would salt them, they would dig their thumb into them, if we didn't protect ourselves.

You don't think this is true?

It's subconscious and we prey upon weakness without hesitation.

Weakness triggers disguised in women and is fearfully contagious to men.

We root it out because our animal minds compel us.

Unconsciously we seek to cut off the poisoned limb.

Man acts unconsciously in the world.

He reacts to weakness where ever it is found, including in himself.

That is why the self critic is so harsh.

If you want to learn this lesson quickly, take marital arts.

One day you will be bruised or injured.

Try hiding that injury while you spar with others.

I guarantee they will find it.

You could have bruise on your butt and that will the day that someone drives a knee into that specific spot.

This pattern recognition is how we survived till now as humans.

We find that chink in the genetic armor of other species and exploit it, the chink in nature, that small gap in our opponents defense.

We are brought up on zero sum games so we model life off of this experience.

Till we are subconsciously trading blows in conversations and positioning our knee on the neck of a down opponent

There is a better way.

A game that is infinite where you can grow, I can grow, we can grow.

People that play this game are operating on a higher level of consciousness.

It is called the game of empathy.

It moves us beyond our animal mind.

It allows us to be vulnerable and vulnerability is not a weakness.

A sprouting acorn is vulnerable, but it must be to grow into a towering oak.

Admitting you don't know is vulnerable, but when you do, you grow wise.

Lifting 10lbs in the gym is vulnerable but that is the start of you growing powerful.

The hiding is weakness.

It's slowly killing your potential to grow and to connect and to build.

It's a waste to abide in the lower animal mind.

Cultivate your consciousness so you can be vulnerable.

This is lets your divine human nature develop.

This allows us to go deeper into reality.

Live unconsciously as a prey animal or step into your divine right as a human.

This is your choice to make.
