Do You feel one with Your brain? Or does it feel like a different entity, completely? I know my answer to that. My brain is a completely different entity than myself, in this body. I Live in my brain. And I have very little control over it. I feel like it is a child throwing tantrums sometimes. And sometimes, all I can do is watch those thoughts that are appearing, and think, I am so glad that I am not my brain. I am finding ways to calm my brain down. Because that seems to be key to a healthier brain. With healthier thought patterns and a happier existence, with the brain.
How the brain works, is that it has many parts, that works together, in functioning as the brain does. But I dont know all of them, and I wont be getting into them as a physical thing. But how we think, how to discern that, and why a brain can be so difficult to experience as ones own, that I will be getting into.
Everything we watch, is brainfood. It makes it process the information(brainfood) that we have fed it. The subconscious stores basically everything. Thats why we have associations with things. We might think of something, and suddenly something similair is popping up in our brain. Or other things that are not similair, but something that has some sort of coherence to the thing that we thought of. One thought leads to another, and so on. My point is, our subconscious is doing alot of work, presenting thoughts to us. Throwing things out there for us, and this comes from, all of our information ever gathered. So thoughts can be pretty brutal and bad sometimes. But we are not our thoughts. For example, envisioning someone getting hit by a car, does not mean that You want this for someone, its just Your brain, throwing it out there, because of an asociation that You had. If You were in Your car, its logical of Your brain to try to make You more careful while driving, and that is the cause of that envisioning. If You have fears of things, the brain is probably in a fear state, which can actually make Your brain throw out a lot of fearful stuff at You, just because it wants You to be careful, or just because You are fearful, it says, here You go, more stuff about fear.
We are not our own brain. The brain does its own processing, presents thoughts to us, and we ourselves, will have to discern them. And I will say it, there lies a power in discerning ones own thoughts, because it enables You to be Your true self, Your best self. If we discern our bad thoughts, knowing they are not who we truly are, what will happen? We will experience freedom to be who we truly are. As a self, without the bad thoughts as a ruler of our mind, or as our Soul in fact. If You take a step back from Your own brain, and just watch Your thoughts, not connecting to them. And just let them be. Who are You then? Your Soul. Does those bad thoughts do You any good? Does it do You good to connect with them? I would say no. But does it do You any good to feel shame about them? I would say no to that too. Because You know what? You are not these thoughts. You are something else entirely. And also, those thoughts, are not even Your fault. It is just Your brain processing, throwing things out to You, and, they are not who You truly are. If You indulge in bad thoughts, meaning entertaining them, and making them Your own, You are giving bad brainfood to Your brain. Because Your brain will give You more of what You are indulging in. And this is not a good thing, if the thoughts are bad, but it is a very good thing if the thoughts are good. Like Appreciation and Gratitude. If You think about good stuff in Your Life(You can actually change Your thoughtpatterns like this) Your brain will, by association, come up with more stuff that is good in Your Life, and if You practice Gratitude in Your mind, Your brain will be on board with You, giving You more things to be Grateful for. So in one way, a brain can be terrible to experience, but it can be turned around, luckily!
Regarding my own brain, which can be a horror to be in sometimes. Just because of my fear of violence and suffering, and because of my focus on it, because of my writing about all of what I am writing about. Which for the most part is Love though, but it is because of the suffering that is happening in our world, that I want to be writing about all of this. I want to help Heal it. So I am focused on problems, to help, to fix, to Heal, but my brain is in constant screaming of danger, which makes me envision dangerous things wherever I go. And this is not so easy to live with in fact. Because envisioning horrible things, is pretty horrible to watch. But do You know what? That is not me. That is my brain. And I do not want any of the things that is being envisioned. I know who I am as a person. And I most definetelly would not have wanted to run someone over with my car. But I have seen that before me, many many times. As thoughts in my brain. So just so You know this, Your bad thoughts do not define You as a person. You are something else than what Your brain is processing. And brain patterns are changeable.
Thank You for reading this.
With Unconditional Love and Gratitude.
