HIT THE REBOOT BUTTON !!

It is not surprising that the digital computer functions much like a human brain. After all, it was the human mind that created the computer. They both operate by turning electrical signals into binary “on and off states” and flexibly manipulate these states by using switches. We are born with a hard drive that has been wiped clean. Then we are programmed by experience and education. Problems arise if we are programmed with corrupted and false information such as, prejudices, intolerances and mythical stories. We fix computers by rebooting them. We can do the same with our brains.

Meditation has been practiced since antiquity as a way of rebooting the brain (shutting it down and then restarting it) in order to recover from a malfunction (sometimes referred to as a brain fart). Various methods of meditation have been linked to changes in brain activation. Even in prehistoric times humans used repetitive, rhythmic chants to clear their minds. References to meditation are found in the Bible, dating around 1400 BCE, and in the Hindu Vedas from around the 15^th century BCE. Around the 6^th century BCE, other forms of meditation developed in China and India. So, I recommend that you reboot your brain and get rid of those ugly subconscious thoughts which were programmed into your mind without your permission!
