If you touch a hot stove you quickly pull away. With some damage to yourself. Small maybe, but it is<\/em> damage. What if that memory hot-stoves-burn<\/em><\/strong> was not kept? Then you\u2019d likely place your hand on a hot stove \u2018once again\u2019. And again your Body-Mind jerks you away. With some more damage. And if you never<\/strong> remember hot-stoves-burn<\/em> you end up doing it over and over again. There\u2019d be no reason not to and a curiosity to do so. Eventually your hand would be badly damaged and still you\u2019d have no memory \/idea that the stove \/heat causes this. You never erase memories that keep you alive. And basically all your memories to date have <\/p>\n kept you alive. That\u2019s why you\u2019re not quick to change your mind. The solution is so simple people dismiss it. It\u2019s a concept called \u2018AND-AND\u2019 We normally think EITHER-OR. Either<\/strong> I take this part-time job or<\/strong> I stay home with the kids. Either<\/strong> I save my money or<\/strong> I spend it. You\u2019re with me or<\/strong> against me. Decide. With AND-AND I can take this part time job and<\/strong> have more quality time with my family. I spend money to improve things and<\/strong> save on future operating costs. I\u2019m with you sometimes and<\/strong> not with you sometimes. It depends if you\u2019re doing something I agree with. Add AND-AND to your way of thinking and increase your success. ————————– These are related: # 3 <\/strong>Cumulative Knowledge<\/a> – 50 <\/strong>Limits<\/a> – 63 <\/strong>Free Will<\/a> – 66 <\/strong>Opposites<\/a> – 90 <\/strong>Good\/Bad<\/a> 96 <\/strong>Habits<\/a> – 97 <\/strong>Variety<\/a> – 103 <\/strong>Ring \/Knock Part 2<\/a> – 105 <\/strong>Silent Additions<\/a> – 120<\/strong> Give & Take<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you touch a hot stove you quickly pull away.
