What's In Your Head?

As you know Montressa lets me post. So, when I related this to Montressa she was excited and wanted me to post what I knew about the brain.

I am always looking for a model to relate to as we navigate this wonderful universe and existence. I wrote this post awhile ago, but did not feel it was ready to post. My wife is taking a course and was reading a book about views on consciousness for her course. I was getting that although consciousness does not reside IN the brain, in some ways it cannot be separated from the brain. Yet, my sense is that both are true. Consciousness comes from outside and inside at the same time. Here's exactly what came to me: "The brain is the prism through which consciousness manifests." Sit with this awhile and it will blow your mind both figuratively and literally!! It's like consciousness is the "white light" of existence and like the prism breaking the white light into colors, the brain separates and differentiates energies and frequencies into a coherent existence, your coherent existence!!

You know that commercial, "What's in your wallet?" Well, it is time to ask the next question. This post has been brewing in me for almost 6 months and I've debated sharing it. I woke one day with the clear idea that our brains are mainly transponders that interface with the quantum space. Hmm... I thought - transponders. Well, that's like a radio station. You can listen to whatever channel you wish. Don't like what you are hearing - change the channel. Yes, there are questions that arise in looking at our lives from this perspective, but I can't seem to let go of the deeper truth that this idea contains. Using this model we are both intimately connected to the universe and still independent. We intuit things and then apply logic to them to generate other ideas, offline in a sense, that can become tangible provided they merge in a way in us that allows this materialization.

The brain performs logical functions. Sure. It receives something, like take a look out east... notice the sun seems to rise there. Well, the brain goes into action. If the sun rises at such and such a rate or wherever it wants to take the logic, it goes. But, clearly, what has happened is it is seeded with an idea garnered from the cosmos, the quantum space. "Something" tells you to look east. Then it begins to apply what it does logically to that information. This then could result in another connection to the quantum space. Like, psst... look at the north star at 2 AM today. So, you get up at 2 AM and observe the north star. You notice a whole bunch of things about its movement. Boom, the brain springs into action again.

Shift scene.  Daily life. I'm driving to work. Psst.... see that exit you've been wondering about? Take it tomorrow. So, next day, on your way to work you take the exit and find a whole new way to get there - half the amount of lights etc. Ten minutes quicker and an easier drive. Then your brain springs into action. If you do this, this and that the drive will be way more fun!! Yes, your brain figured that out. But the "exit" idea came from somewhere else in your life flow!! The quantum space. Why? Because somewhere in you, you were resonating to things being different.

So, there is this interplay between what I'd call "cosmic life stream" energy that forms ideas and ideas that you create as a result of the presence of the "life stream" ideas. Some of it is received by your brain, while some of it is created in your brain, formed there and a resonance occurs with the cosmos or quantum space. The information is processed locally, in your head. Electro-chemically. At the same time your brain is receiving by resonance information based on the "life stream" or life you have chosen to that point. At all points the flow of things can be shifted on the fly. That is a function of your brain as creator of you in the moment. And, is one of the great advantages of a free-will universe.

So, yes the brain does create, but it creates from logic based on information it receives. It can then set up a resonance and attract what it choses through the logic it applies to set up that quantum resonance. Voila - Law of Attraction. However, it is about a deeper space that the brain takes this logic. It must be able to create a resonance with the quantum space. That is why aphorisms may not work. It's not just about what you say, but the deeper resonance set up by that "brain" logic. So, basically, it's not quite as simple as what I'm describing. Still, the principle I've presented is the first level of brain function that we use as humans. It clearly demonstrates the "why" of the Law of Attraction." So, it's not about just speaking positivity, for instance. It is about being positivity. Different resonance. Speaking does not create ideas. Ideas create speaking. That is the subtle difference. That is why it is so critical to watch your words. You can then monitor the creational ideas within you. This is what is creating resonance with the universe, or quantum space.

Speaking of which, I googled this clarity that came to me about the way the brain functions and found two guys arguing about the particulars of the central idea! So, they were assuming the central idea here was a given and were just discussing some of the particulars about how it operates. Interesting how this universe works. So, this information came in through the portal of my yearning to know. It is exciting to me because it shows how we are intimately connected with the universe and the quantum space from which it evolves.

Montressa Talks About Your Gifts...

Many of us go through life and are unaware of the valuable things we can bring to life... that which has been given to us which comes easily.

Many times there are "things" that challenge us. Sometimes we judge them as "hard" because of the effort we must put into them to perform at a level we judge as acceptable or required. Then there are things that we are "good" at. We assess these talents we are "good" at because we can perform at a level that we judge as meeting a required, but unspecified standard for us without additional effort. Sometimes the things that we are "good" at we don't value. The conversation... "Oh, anybody can do that." comes up. That actually can be a disservice both to yourself AND others. This is what this post is focused on.

What in YOUR life is like that. What in YOUR life are you saying, "Oh, anybody can do that." Yes, true ANYBODY can do ANYTHING they chose to do. However, there is a "learning curve". The first prerequisite for anything is the desire to do it. Then IF you really want to do something you may need to learn specific things about "how" to do it.

As the central character in ICE, India & Old Lovers, this is one of the things I had to learn. What was it that I did naturally that was of value both to me and others. The whole movement in my life came about because of this self-examination. To be sure there were many factors contributing to my journey that emerged from my life, but the focus on what I wanted was paramount. Yet, tired of struggling, what I really wanted was life with more "flow". I didn't want it easy, I was used to "hard" work. But, I came to a point where I finally noticed the struggle in my life. So, I asked myself, "What am I struggling for?" Well, that may seem simple to ask yourself, right? Not when everyone around you is struggling with their life!!

So, I can say there must be a shift in your thinking. It is almost like looking at yourself like an observer. Here's the example... you're a fish you're swimming in water... I say... hey look at the water.. you say.. what water?? Now, jump up on the shore and look down into the water.. oh, yeah, all us fish are swimming in water!!!

Each of us has our styles. Just as each species of fish is adapted for it's environment so each of us is adapted for a specific flow in our own life. That is what this post is addressing. We need to discover what our best adaptation is. Perhaps we can share that with others.
