Book review: Lina, the Duiker and the Dragonfly
One of the topics that stand out, for me, is “repetitive exposure”.
It refers to all the elements that an individual is exposed to.
These can be voluntary or involuntary.
They include all information, thoughts, ideas, concepts, suggestions, experiences and influences.
Because our minds are constantly absorbing our environment, they don’t only take in “the good stuff”.
He warns that because your mind adjusts to what it is repetitively exposed to, even if those things are not good for us, we learn to live with them.

From adverts on TV to the opinions of those we love.
“Over time the ideas that the mind is continuously exposed to, the mind accepts as truth and these ideas become belief systems.”
And belief systems largely determine how we choose to live our lives.
