You may or may not notice that your imagination labels EVERYTHING automatically. It does this to have a non-reliance on the soul. In other words, the brain prefers interdependence, not dependence. A mix of self-sufficiency and cooperation is the strongest recipe in the eyes of evolution. The brain cares only for the soul as far as the soul benefits the brain. Once the brain feels it understands something, it would much rather be used in a way that "cuts to the chase" and not waste any more resources than it feels necessary (time or energy). For example, ever notice that when you daydream, at the foundation of it all is labels that are associated with one of three things (objects, contexts, and actions). Just think of a label, and the object will automatically pop up (think of the label "pink zebra" and the image just appears with no effort). The brain can (or at least will make an effort) do this with virtually anything. Think of the label "a confident me"...and the image (object + action) will appear. This sort of thinking can both get a person into trouble, and it is the reason why people worry about the future and the past (when you notice yourself doing this, become aware of the role labeling plays in the formation of these daydreams).
In short, become aware of labeling, it's an extremely powerful function of the brain that typically goes unnoticed and unchecked. Awareness is everything in becoming the master of the brain. A soul that is unaware of the brain becomes a slave to it. Emotional issues like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder (more or less), anger, jealousy, etc. are much easier to remedy when the forces underlying them are brought into awareness. Change without awareness is accidental, don't be an accident!
