Creating Your Life, Is it Seeing is Believing?
How can we create the life we want to live? How much do we trust and believe in our brains and minds?
Seeing is believing
When we look at our hands we know what it can do, we see the hands, we feel them, we see them holding something, we have total trust and faith in what they can do. What about our minds? Do we have absolute confidence, trust and faith? We underestimate the power of our minds/brains, it has the ability to do and create so much in our lives. We know the many functions of our brain, the way it controls our physical body.
I suggest that because we cannot see the brain we don’t understand how much it can create, Have you heard the saying “My body is not me but mine” if so you will know that you can control your body to do whatever you want it to do, by the same token I suggest that you can control your brain. For most people seeing is believing. The most obvious reason that people lack control over the brain is that they simply don’t believe that they have control over it.
Understanding the brain
To create the life we wish to live we need to master our brains, take control of our mind and body. To do this first we have to understand our brains. Essentially our brain is made up of three parts, Cerebral Cortex, Limbic System and Brain Stem.
1. Cerebral Cortex
This is the outermost layer of the brain and is composed of grey matter. It has two hemispheres, both hemispheres are able to analyse sensory data, perform memory functions, learn new information, form thoughts and make decisions. The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres and allows communication between the right and left hemispheres.
2. Limbic System
The limbic system is associated with the complex aspects of emotional expression. It is involved with asigning emotional value or content to various objects and experiences and with expressing these emotions as external behaviours. Appetite for food and sex, emotions of joy, anger, and grief arise within the limbic syste.
3. Brain Stem
The brain stem is in charge of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for the basic life functions of the body, including digestion, respiration and circulation. It is the least known and yet most important part of our brain.
Now we understand what the purpose of the various parts of the brain, we must balance our brains, to master it and control it.
How to master the brain?
There are probably many ways to master your brain and control it. I believe that meditation is the most effective way. Meditation has infinite power to change the brain. Research has shown that meditation has a profound effect on the structure and function of the brain. If you use meditation to change your thinking, you will be more equipped to change your environment. To achieve full mastery of your brain you must let your True Self take control. Sometimes called the “soul” this is the perfect devine part of you that understands the oneness of everything and your place in the universe. However, there is the small self, the “ego” the part of you that falsely separates you from the others. The ego is always judging and comparing, it also prevents you from achieving mastery over your brain, it defines and limits you according to a preconceived notion of identity. To an extent limits your success.
Create the life you want
Now that you have mastered your brain and know how to control it, you can create the life of your dreams. For every belief you act on you will get a result. So set your goals, take action and see the results. You are who you want to be.
Brain Declaration
For us to create our life we want, I believe we need to make the following declaration to ourselves:
- I declare that I am the master of brain
- I declare that my brain has infinite possibilities and creative potential
- I declare that my brain has the right to accept or refuse any information and knowledge that is offered
- I declare that my brain loves humanity and the earth
- I declare that my brain desires peace
Let’s change the way we think and change our environment, let’s make for a happier and peaceful world for us now and in the future.
