Language Entrapping View

This is something I've been trying to put into words for a very long time while dialoging with my friend screwy, but have always failed at it. it is about the inner machinations of the mind to stick to the status qou way of thinking without ever really questioning the very paradigm within which it exists. without further ado, so eloquently put, here it goes, in the words of Rodney smith.
"All is held by the mind's view, the vast network of assumptions and relationships of one concept to another, which provides the overlay and logic of the structure that ties everything together. The view we hold is most easily discerned through the narrative we tell ourselves about what is happening. as long as we maintain our story line, the view walls us off from contradiction, and inconsistencies are incorporated back into the story's point of view. for example, the current worldview holds that variations from the agreed-upon reality, such as extra-sensory perception, other realms of existence, or ghosts, are not provable. The system of proof is derived from the view that believes these experiences are imagined. Since the view is configured to eliminate any threat from conflicting evidence, the proof is never validated. "Yes," we say. "There are many examples of ghost stories, but these instances cannot be replicated, and most people never see ghosts at all. Therefore it is not logically consistent or scientifically verifiable [which are standards set by the prevailing view]." The real problem is that there is no explanation for these occurrences within the established view, and therefore they must be dismissed in order for things to continue as normal.
The mind's responsibility is to manage the concepts it knows and to hold conflicting ideas at bay in order to firmly fix reality and our place within it. Our inner narrative takes the agreed-upon view and applies it to the details of our life. It becomes our story, and we are the story tellers. When the story is threatened, the wagons are circled and our defenses contract around our view. Most experiences that threaten the view are denied, avoided, or dismissed, and those that reinforce it are incorporated. We end up strengthening the sense-of-self with every perception."
Indeed, if you observe your own opinions and views you will find that most, if not all, are informed by the very current dominant world-view grafted onto our own thoughts. whether democrat, republican, hippie, or conservative, the opposites all fit within this paradigm of pitting polar opposite against polar opposite. to step outside your own self-deception, as Rodney smith painstakingly traces in his book, is the first key to true freedom.
