Separate the Tool from the User

Recognizing the brain as just a tool enables individuals to understand that they are more than their thoughts and mental processes. This perspective allows for a deeper connection to one's true self, instinct, and the vibrancy of life beyond the confines of mental constructs. By stepping back and viewing the brain as an instrument for analysis and projection, individuals can simplify their understanding of identity and existence, leading to clarity and a sense of connection to the larger world.
