A Human Tendency
I re-read the latest Cobra interview, and am no longer taking issue. It's true that human consciousness has the tendency take something that is perceived as negative, and focus on this more. This is called negativity bias:
"The negativity bias is our tendency not only to register negative stimuli more readily but also to dwell on these events. Also known as positive-negative asymmetry, this negativity bias means that we feel the sting of a rebuke more powerfully than we feel the joy of praise.
This psychological phenomenon explains why bad first impressions can be so difficult to overcome and why past traumas
can have such long lingering effects. In almost any interaction, we are
more likely to notice negative things and later remember them more
vividly.
As humans, we tend to:
- Remember traumatic experiences better than positive ones.
- Recall insults better than praise.
- React more strongly to negative stimuli.
- Think about negative things more frequently than positive ones.
- Respond more strongly to negative events than to equally positive ones."

I will be continuing to read the book "Mind Clearing," and Light continues to come through.
