===Dual thinking or why we should be more irrational===
Our thinking is dual. It consists of linear and non linear minds. There is a rational linear mind/thinking and irrational non-linear one. The linear rational mind in its actions uses methods and rules; in other [[words]], it uses the old and tried standard patterns of [[behavior]]. When we make decisions using our rational thinking, we first go through the limited scope of options, comparing them. And then out of that selection, we choose what we think of as the best option. The [[rational]] thinking does not have access to future; and so, it makes its choices based on careful calculations and what it [[logic]]ally knows as of this moment. How does linear rational mind work? It needs to somehow settle in its environment; so it makes up certain concepts and assigns names and definitions to [[things]]. After that the rational mind effectively utilizes the above at its convenience. In that sense the rational mind lives in the world of [[illusion]]s of nonexistent things. Linear mind also divides and organizes everything neatly into one line; that is why the [[time]] flow of the linear mind is chronological.

Irrational mind has no methods, rules, patterns or standards. It does not need to go over all the options, comparing one with another. It is because when a person is using his irrational mind, a person and a goal become one. In other words, your actions and result unite into one whole. You can observe it all in a so called successful chain of actions, leading to immediate desirable result. When you are in a state of irrational mind, you only see your goal; you don’t see the actions. They are potentially there and are activated regardless of your logical thinking when the time comes. You are one with the goal; moving toward it is like dancing; you don’t think about every step; it just flows when the music is turned on.
