Mental Programming – Part 1

                                                                       

Yesterday I kind of joked around. Today (and for a couple more days) I’m going to write about a serious topic: the brain. Let's see: Your brain can't help thinking, as this is “its” nature. But you are not your brain. This means that “your” true nature transcends thought, it is beyond any expressions on either a physical or mental level. Therefore the world created by your emotional thoughts is not the real world. Emotional thought is unable to perceive the essence of any element of creation. When you look at a rose, you don't simply enjoy its beauty or its scent. Your brain starts immediately to reason about the characteristics of this flower. It “thinks” about it. Therefore the deep essence of such experience is almost totally lost. By judging what surrounds you - as this is just what thinking is - you label situations, things and people and thus create a kind of cocoon where you happily live without being able to see beyond your prejudices and pre-conceived ideas.
