Our ability to perform complex tasks is based on automation of repetitive subtasks. In our overall mind, we outsource (delegate) repetitive subtasks from the logical mind to subconscious mind. This allows our logical mind to stay focused on what is non-repetitive while subconscious mind takes care of repetitive things which we do almost automatically. For example, when we grow up, when we learn sport games or driving, we practice these repetitive actions to transform them from conscious to automatic. We become so automatic that we resemble robots in many ways. Daily routines of mainstream people become filled with automatic tasks while their mind is filled with brainwashing information. People are taught to seek new experiences but the scope where they are to look for new experiences is very artificial: people look for new experiences with food, news, movies, and fashions (those are mainstream surrogates of new experiences). Even travel which could be mind-opening is so sterilized by mainstream so it also becomes sterile. This way people do things automatically and their search for new things also keeps them "at bay", meaning they stay within narrow limits defined by mainstream culture. I find that even enlightened people, good healers, light workers, new age folks often remain hooked on some of the traps of mainstream culture. Many light workers remain hooked on news, sweets, coffee, inconsequential gossip and many other activities which they inherited from the mainstream past. I am not an exception. Some things I have soaked so well, that I am sometimes surprising myself by strength of my old outdated attachments.
