Who's Driving the Bus? 11
How many of you are haunted by thoughts? You say to yourself, "I wish I could get it out of my head." But isn't it amazing that you got it in there in the first place! Brains are really phenomenal. The things they'll get you to do are absolutely amazing. The problem with brains is not that they can't learn, as we have been told all too often. The problem with brains is that they learn things too quickly and too well. For example, think of a phobia. It's an amazing thing to be able to remember to get terrified every time you see a spider. You never find a phobic looking at a spider and saying, "Oh damn, I forgot to be afraid." Are there a few things you'd like to learn that thoroughly? When: you think about it that way, having a phobia is a tremendous learning achievement. And if you go into the person's history, you often find that it was one-trial learning: it took only one instantaneous experience for that person to learn something so thoroughly that she'll remember it for the rest of her life.
