The Power of Primordial Stories in Shaping Our Perception

Our brain starts with a primordial story of 'I'm good and life is good', allowing openness and exploration. Over time, negative life experiences lead to a new story that 'life is not good and I'm not good', becoming more dominant. This shift causes us to believe that life is bad and we are terrible, leading to a dissociated state. Despite trying to convince ourselves of positivity, influenced by mindfulness and positive thinking trends, many live in this negative perception.
