I invite you (yes YOU reading this post) to think about those times when you have felt deep shame and condemnation for certain aspects of yourself and others. In fact, this knowledge gives me compassion to lighten up on myself and others when our "inner animal" or "shadow" nature, or "darkside" flares up, and wisdom about how to live my life in spite of being a human being with mismatched instincts in a world of supernormal stimuli.) However, to me, this news is far from disconcerting. Ok, maybe not exactly, but as we learn more and more about evolutionary brain science and evolutionary psychology, as well as gain more evidence about our amazing ability to rationalize and self-deceive, the analogy becomes less fantasy and more spot-on than we might imagine.Ī person might be inclined to be a bit worried at the thought of scaly lizards and furry creatures running amuck, inside our brains. Isn't it neat to know that we all have lizards and furry li'l mammals living in our heads, running our lives?
