Biologically speaking, we may be undergoing an evolutionary process that will enable our species to handle all this stress more gracefully  and healthfully. Frankly, I believe that the multimodal brain of the midlife woman is leading the way. We've always had to be able to do at least three tasks at once. And nowl at midlife, when the dictates of our souls make themselves known more fully than ever, we wake up to discover that our brains and bodies are being re-tooled to faciliatate this beautifully.

The brain is a stubborn organ.  Once its primary set of beliefs has been established, the brain finds it difficult to integrate opposing ideas and beliefs.  This has profound consequences for individuals and society and helps to explain why some people cannot abandon destructive beliefs, be they religious, political or psychological.

"I'm going to xerox my little brain out"

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

It is the heart always that sees, before the head can see.

The average human, only uses 10 percent of their brain's potential.

The human MIND seems to work best in the presence of reality.

The brain that contains the problem
probably also contains the solution.

IF the conditions are right, the huge intelligence of the human being surfaces. IDEAS seem to come from nowhere & sometimes STUN US.

We have the idea that after we have been thinking something, it just evaporates.  But thinking doesn't disappear.  It goes somehow into the brain and leaves something--a trace--which becomes thought.  And thought then acts automatically.

Think with your Heart Feel with your Mind

How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself anything less than a god.

New neurological research indicates that humans’ tremendous brainpower, even operating below ten percent of our capacity, results not just from biochemistry but from the brain’s impressive ability to function as a holographic data storage and retrieval system (a “hard-drive”) that employs different light angles to read information (“software”). This implies ... that the brain is a sophisticated holographic biocomputer that operates through electromagnetic frequencies. Not surprisingly, DNA has been shown to function very similarly. Human biology may thus be considered electromagnetic at the level of its manifestation from the torsion life-wave that sustains it. As Deepak Chopra has observed, human cells, far from being merely functional vessels, are in actuality electromagnetic fields of possibility and potential.

The more things I learn the worse it gets. Knowledge might be power, but knowledge can quickly become a brain gone crazy.

The brain gives the heart its sight. The heart gives the brain its vision.

~ Kall

I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep

    And what You are is the great Unborn, timeless and eternal, in its 1st-person perspective as the great I-I, the great Self, the Witness of this page, and this room, and this universe, and everything in it, witnessing it ALL with a passionate equanimity that leaves you alone as the Unmoved Mover. You are likewise the great Unborn, timeless and eternal, in its 2nd-person perspective as the Great Thou, the Great Other, before whom you bow in an infinite act of complete release and savage surrender and ecstatic submission, and receive in return the entire Kosmos as your blessing and your forgiveness and your eternal grace. You are likewise the great Unborn, timeless and eternal in its 3rd-person perspective as the Great Perfection, the Holy Spirit, the Great web of Life in all its infinite perfection and dynamic chaos, its pulsating pulsars and exploding nebulae, its stars and galaxies and planets and oceans, through which runs the common blood and bears the single heart of an Eros seeking its own higher wholeness, and always finding it, and seeking yet again, and always finding it yet once more, because You always know that You are here, don't You? And so in fun and sport and play and delight, and remorse and terror and agony and respite, You throw yourself out to start to play all over again, in this, the deepest part of You that gives birth to galaxies within Your heart, lets the stars light up as the neurons in Your brain, sing songs of love and delight to the submission and surrender of Your own good night, and all of this within the space that is You, the space that You feel as Your own I-I, or this ever-present Witness of the forms of Your own play.

    And in the great I-I, as You witness the Forms of Your own play as the entire Kosmos - in that very moment, which is this timeless Now, a Now that has no beginning and no end, there is simultaneously Spirit in its 1-st person and 2nd=person and 3rd-person forms, the Great I and We and It feel each other, and in that unitary seamless sizzling Now, which is this very moment before you do anything at all, it is, quite simply over.

    Which means, it has, quite simply, begun.

There's magic to love... Millions of years ago we evolved three basic drives: the sex love, romantic love, and attachment to a long-term partner. These circuits are deeply embedded in the human brian. They're going to survive as long as our species survive on what Shakespeare called, this "mortal coil."

"Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to
shrink-wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds

“... the use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.”

As my out-of-body experiences continued, this observation was confirmed time and again. One thing was certain, I could think without my physical brain.
