Repetition and Redundancy

Picture
Repetitive: containing or characterized by repetition, especially when unnecessary or tiresome.
Redundant: able to be omitted without loss of meaning or function.
Brain Retrain: approximately 40 to 90 days for five to ten minutes per day.
Discipline: the power of self to be repetitive and redundant daily to find and keep one's soul.

​Back in the day people attended a standard twenty-one day rehabilitation program when they were struggling with an addiction. Sometimes people needed more time than that, so they attended a longer treatment program. The chances of anyone overcoming their struggle on the first attempt were rare and repeating the programs was inevitable regardless their repetitiveness and redundancy. The attempts to retrain the brain to not want a substance takes self-discipline of an imperfect human to remain repetitive and redundant. 

I use this analogy for easy understanding of the work it takes to find and keep one's soul. This is not done with one attempt or even a thousand attempts. This is done with daily repetition, and what can seem like redundancy, to gain discipline to retrain the brain. 

Each day, each moment of life, you have the ability to find and keep your soul, the same way you have the ability to lose your soul once found. To keep one's soul close takes a never ending daily process of retraining the brain to maintain discipline so it does not return to the old habits that got its human in such a bad way. 

Because we are imperfect beings, we need repetitiveness and redundancy to make sure we are listening to our soul over our ego. The ego likes noise and chaos. The soul likes quiet and peace. Of the two, our ego has been trained over our entire lifetime to want and distract with the intention to shush the wisdom of the soul. When one grows weary of the noise and chaos they inevitably hear a whisper while they are at rest. This is their soul beckoning. To find and keep that soul takes the opposite repetitiveness and redundancy taught by the ego. One must be willing to retrain years and years of misinformation from the brain. 

"The Sun Neither Rises or Sets" was written when I was 36 years of age and shares my soul's wisdom gained to that time. My second book "The Earth Either Rises or Sets" ​is written at my now age of 55 years with more profound wisdom to be shared. Both books were achieved by listening to my soul and not to my ego. That takes repetitiveness, redundancy, and discipline. <3

A Self-Directed Gold IRA allows investors to have direct control over their retirement savings by holding physical gold or other precious metals in their IRA. Unlike traditional IRAs, which limit investments to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, a self-directed IRA gives individuals the freedom to choose alternative assets like gold, providing a hedge against inflation and economic instability.
