Deep sea fisher folk go out in their trawlers dragging huge nets behind them with the intention of catching large amounts of cod, haddock, herring or other fish. Their nets have hole sizes specific to the kind of fish they want to catch.
Once those nets are hauled aboard the fish still need to be sorted out as there will be many species which are not wanted and others not big enough, these get chucked back into the sea. Only the best fish are processed and kept and brought to shore for sale.
We are bombarded by vast amounts of information, and thoughts relating to the info, on a conscious level and, as we can’t process it all, they need sorting out. Those that don’t make the grade are chucked back into the ‘sea’, ignored.
In that sense our brains are like the trawler folk dragging all this netted info in and need to process/ separate the best and chuck back the unwanted. Trouble is our brains can get swamped and we can become distracted easily and we end up with a boat load of rubbish. The trick is to keep an eye on the info we allow in, the related thoughts and make sure only the best get brought ashore, our subconscious, and ‘sold’.
Namaste,
