This is absolutely fascinating!! After reading the first paragraph, I knew that we, and the machine, are just alike. The only way to get away from simply repeating the same responses with which we have allowed ourselves to be programed, is to question the validity of every response we make. Question what makes sense; what is good, bad, up or down. (That actually sounds exhausting. That's Probably the reason we don't let ourselves get beyond that which is programmed). Perhaps the only way to be independent is to use, as a guide, that which makes me feel good. Choose only the thoughts that seem good to ME; only the thoughts that float my cork. Maybe that is the access to that which I really am and not just a product of my external influences. I may just be tired of being a puppet. I think I'm going to recommit to just that!
Wowza.
