When you choose an action from a menu of all possible actions and then rely upon that choice to choose a second action, you are creating a bias (an historical bias) favoring the first action.
Then when you choose a third action based upon the second action, you are deepening your dependance on the two previous actions chosen, thereby deepening this historical bias.
And then when you choose a fourth action based upon the three previous actions, you further deepen this historical bias; this historical bias being embedded deeper and deeper into your actions….until you choose to change.
Until that moment when you choose to change, you remain influenced (dare I say controlled) by this historical bias.
Yet, there is always a moment in which you can choose to change this historical bias thereby ignoring this historical bias as you move on to the next moment of choice.
So, what is this historical bias? To be sure, this historical bias of which I speak could be interpreted by you to be limited to a habit or a phobia or a fear of a custom.
However, this historical bias can run much deeper into something called “a worldview”, “a belief system”, “a race-thought”, “a pattern of action” or even deeper into something called “a system” or “a field”.
More about that later.
