Self-Consistency: New Neural Pathways I want to talk to you about new neural pathways. Of course, I’m sure you’re aware that research on the brain is taking off in a way that it hasn’t ever before, has taken off, and though our understanding of the way the brain works is new, what we’ve learned already is extremely powerful. We’re at a primitive stage of what could be known, but we know some things that make a huge difference. One of the things that we really know is expressed by a kind of little mantra that’s become a cliché, and that is cells that fire together wire together. That little slogan means that if you connect one neuron with another neuron in the brain, you’ve created a little pathway there. But it’s not much of a pathway. It’s like it’s happened once. If you continue to fire those neurons in the same pattern in the order, that neural pathway will get to be like a very wide boulevard, if not a superhighway, and the more neurons that are connected in it, they can link to each other and form resonances with each other so that one firing of one neuron leads to the firing up another and another and another, and you can put that to work for you because we talk about habits often as something we want to get rid of, we want to break, we want to sever that habit, and we want to not be attached to that habit. It’s a negative habit. But habits are one of the greatest tricks the brain ever learned. Habits are the replacement for the instincts that we don’t largely have. We get choice over our behavior. We get to choose, and if you begin to think of habits you design, you can create habits that con become extremely powerful. And if they don’t have to immediately go up against existing habits and try to conquer them, because you take a brand new habit, and it will never win a battle against an old, existing habit, unless new neurons are being fired. If you just try to not fire a neuron or a neural sequence, a neural circuit, it’s not so easy. There are so many things, and that’s the brilliance of the brains ability to create habits. So many things can wire together, and then they fire together, it’s almost like autopilot, and in a groovy way, it is autopilot. You can do a lot of things. You can brush your teeth without giving it a lot of thought, and you’ll get the job done. If you put attention on the floss and as you brush your teeth you pay attention, it’s clear you’ll do a more thorough and a better job, and you’ll strengthen the habit of doing it really well. I didn’t use an electric toothbrush for a long time because I thought why would I, you know, substitute something electric for my good hand, but, you know, I had a very attractive dentist who will convince me that it would be a good thing for me to do, and I did it, and she told me exactly how to do it to get the maximum benefit and to save my teeth. I began to do it, and I close my eyes sometimes, and almost meditatively go over each service. And the more attention I put on it, the more I fire neurons that get stronger and stronger and stronger and the better the pathway is so that I could do it quite well with no conscious attention paid. Now, if you drive a car and you’re like me, you may have gone 50 or 60 miles and barely noticed the road consciously because you were caught up in thought. It scares me sometimes, but it’s true. And nowadays I understand the way I’m built well enough to know that if somebody’s riding in the car with me, they don’t talk because if I get in a conversation, my vision--actually this is what happens to all of us. Your visual field narrows, and I can go for 60 miles and not remember consciously seeing the road. Sure, if an emergency came up, I would react, but it wouldn’t as well or as fast as it would be if I were paying attention. By paying attention and setting in new pathways, you strengthen them, and you create habits by design instead of accumulating ones on autopilot or bringing ones with you from the archival distant past. Don’t be a victim of existing habits, but don’t always go to the trouble of trying to break them. They are resistant, and they’re sturdy. Find a way to create a new habit that cuts a path through new parts of the brain. You can do this. It is really easier than you think. It’s beautiful. It’s lovely. And you’ll have habits you chose instead of ones you accidentally developed and didn’t even know you were doing it.
