“Maybe if we tell people the brain is an app, they’ll start using it”
This tickles my funny bone, but there’s a seriousness about it that concerns me. Too many people move through life allowing the brain to be in complete control. As if she is the driver of our vehicle … IF you are thinking this, then …
WARNING : Your mind is in URGENT need of a software upgrade !!!
This is an outdated belief that holds us back from living the life we imagine
Yes, our brains are beautiful, amazing and fucking magnificent creations BUT she’s programmed with a heap of data about the past. She makes choices by drawing upon information from all of our previous experiences. She navigates using old road maps, directing us towards choices and decisions that SHE thinks is safe for us, because she wants to protect us
But …
WHAT IF we no longer believe old roads can take us where we want to go ?
WHAT IF we no longer believe that the safer choices are the better choices ?
WHAT IF we want to go trail blazing and explore new roads and directions ?
WHAT IF we want to turn OFF the nav man in our heads ?
WHAT IF we believe tuning into our hearts will lead us to where we need to go ?
WHAT IF we decide to open up to spirit and allow the universe to guide us ?
Oh my lordy …
… then get ready to experience a whole lot of internal conflict
As our ego driven mind fights to stay in control of the vehicle. She does this because she loves us and wants so desperately to keep us safe from harm. Its been her job for so many years to keep the heart out of trouble. Shes the one who is forced to take control whenever our heart has convinced the mind to trust love and to follow her lead. Shes the one saying ” I told ya so” when our hearts have been broken. Shes the one left to clean up all the mess
But …
WHAT IF we no longer believe avoiding pain is what life is all about ?
WHAT IF we no longer believe that a broken heart is a bad thing ?
WHAT IF we need the hurt as much as we need the love to grow ?
WHAT IF we are learning that a broken heart is OPEN to receive more love ?
WHAT IF we are learning that experiences of pain are symptoms of blockages ?
WHAT IF we want to learn MORE about such things ?
Oh my lordy …
… then brace yourself for one heck of a ride because life is going to get very interesting. As our heart and mind start to learn how to steer the vehicle together as equal partners. The brain learning how to trust the heart, which will bring in more experiences of love. The heart learning how to appreciate the brain, which will unlock more creative potential
Hmmmmm …she ponders
Imagine the possibilities
Therefore, isn’t it logical to assume that if we are experiencing any internal tension and conflict between our own heart and mind … then we will also experience more tension and conflict with others ?
WHAT IF our external conflicts are directing us towards conflict within ourselves that need to be resolved ?
WHAT IF we have the ability to improve ALL of our relationships with others, by improving our relationship with our-self ?
WHAT IF choosing to follow our hearts and love our self first, isn’t selfish ?
WHAT IF loving our self has a greater purpose for the greater good ?
WHAT IF living the life we imagine is an essential part of changing our world ?
I believe that we will begin to live in more harmony with each other, only when we begin to live in more harmony with ourselves. A belief that continues to motivate me to explore my internal world as much as my external world
Shhhh … listen to YOUR heart ❤
What is she telling you ?
I suppose mothers are the brains of their children for such a long time hence why it seems like you are describing a mother when you describe some aspects of the brain !!
