Do you know how closely our body and mind are connected? The Brain The Ego And The Mind. Where does the energy that keeps us alive come from? When it leaves the body, the body dies. where does this energy go?
Most of us are involved in our daily lives to live and survive on this planet. Despite all the technological knowledge and advances we’ve made through science, there’s a lot of evidence that our mental health is declining because most people don’t know how the mind works. . Here I want to help you understand the understanding of my mind. You don’t have to believe me, but try to disprove it in your head and see if what I’m writing makes sense.
Intelligence is at work beyond our thought processes. When I look at our bodies, I think all of our brilliance lies in our brains. That’s because it’s the physical part of the brain that we use to think and reason. When for some reason we cannot use our brains, we feel disabled. The brain protects us from the environment and helps us take preventive measures when danger threatens us. Without the brain, we would not be able to survive or understand our world and mind. If you can’t use your brain, life will be difficult.
Do You Know How The Brain The Ego And The Mind?
Thus, the brain plays an important role in our perception of reality. It is the organ we use to understand the mind. It is the organ that helps us perceive reality. It is an organ that, when used incorrectly, leads to mental and physical disorders. It is the organ that the mind uses to express our talents and personalities. Without the brain, the mind cannot function fully. So what is the mind? The way I see it, the spirit is the source of energy (electricity) that keeps us alive.
For convenience, it can be divided into two parts: conscious and subconscious. But in reality, we are of one heart. The self or ego works in the conscious part of the mind. It is the culmination of our desire to survive on this planet. They are territorial, and possessive and try to control everything. It builds on its knowledge and life experience (ego boost), becomes a well-defined being, and hides behind beliefs. It wants to live forever and is bound by time. It has an immense ability to deceive itself. You need an ego to interpret the reality in front of you. You also need a brain to develop your ego. Without the ego, we cannot function as individuals. The brain allows the ego to experience consciousness and perception, which are the qualities of the mind. So you can see how closely connected the brain and the ego are.
But our subconscious is also connected to our brain. It controls all of the body’s vital functions and systems such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems. People take the subconscious for granted and have little understanding of how the ego affects it. It is the subconscious that makes us happy or sad depending on how we stimulate it. It doesn’t recognize good or bad, good or bad. Whatever we do in life, we always try to calm our subconscious. For example, when we pray to God or other beings, we try to calm our subconscious. We do the same when we make music, dance, and sing. Our subconscious is the piano we use to play the songs we want. A piano key is a word you use to create a specific sound. Depending on how you use the words, you can play both happy and sad songs. So shouldn’t we try to understand how the subconscious works?
When we look at our body, intelligence permeates from the headquarters (brain) down to the individual cell level. Yes, perception also takes place at the cellular level. Every cell in our body knows its function and knows how to replace itself. Skin cells know how to protect us from the outside environment, lung cells know how to carry oxygen from the air, kidney cells know how to clean the blood, and digestive cells in the gastrointestinal system know how to process food. All of this is under the control of the subconscious. Our immune system, which is involved in the healing process, is also under unconscious control. The consciousness in which the ego functions has little control but indirectly influences all of these areas. Therefore, it would be foolish to ignore the subconscious and take it for grantedunderstandable to keep. But we have always been and still are today.
So what happens when you damage your brain? You may have a stroke or suffer a head injury from a fall. We may suffer from degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and motor neuron disease. The symptoms and signs we suffer from depend on the area of the brain affected. We can lose consciousness, lose our memory, or become paralyzed. When this happens our ego or self cannot function properly. We will feel handicapped. When a person becomes brain dead, consciousness and ego cease to function at all. However, the subconscious mind can maintain vital functions, allowing a person to stay alive. When the life support system is turned off, the body dies while the mind is away from it. Yes, our brain is like the hardware in our computer system. If for some reason it doesn’t work, the software (mind) crashes.
A perfect example of a mind trapped in a crippled body is the case of Dr. Stephen Hawkins. He was a British scientist who for 55 years suffered from a motor neuron disease that affects only the motor areas of the brain. Other areas of his brain were unaffected, so his ego (consciousness) was able to function normally. That is, he could think and reason. Therefore, it is clear that certain areas of our brain are involved in maintaining consciousness and perception, without which the ego cannot function.
Brisbane Courier-Mail Qweekend Magazine On April 24, 2021, an article was published stating that three of his young people aged 20, 21, and 22 of varying backgrounds died in their sleep. They fell asleep and never woke up again. They suffered from epilepsy and died of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). This tragedy shows that when our brains are defective, they can malfunction and endanger our lives.
Our mental and physical health depends not only on our ability to use our brains for ego-building exercises but also on our ability to understand how the mind works. We need to learn how the ego affects the subconscious. We need to be aware of how our perceptions affect our thoughts, and how our thoughts affect our actions. The perception of time we create makes us time travelers. We are caught in this web of time, constantly moving back and forth between the past, present, and future. But the reality is that we don’t have time.
There are timeless dimensions all around us. It is as real as the temporal dimension of our creation. The only thing that separates the two is our perception. Everyone experiences this timeless dimension from time to time when the viewer is in mind and what is observed becomes a phenomenon. But the ego is too dependent on thought to recognize it because it is afraid to disappear into the timeless world.
To experience a timeless dimension, you need to go to the top of a mountain or bush away from man-made structures. Here, the attraction to nature is so strong that it becomes easier for the observer to observe the phenomenon in his mind, and the observed becomes one. But it can be experienced anywhere. When this happens, we will realize that we only have one mind. Your mind has experienced eternity in this state and you are fully alert and aware of both the inner and outer worlds. There is an ego, you are not in a trance. You will find that you are not separate, but one with the universe. You too will find yourself part of this timeless dimension. There is no thought, only consciousness. But when the ego uses words to describe what you’re seeing, you return to your familiar time zone.
From the above observations, we can see that we only have one mind and the ego is not the whole mind. The ego cannot function effectively without a healthy brain. The brain enables the ego to think and reason. The brain allows us to perceive reality. The ego clings to time without realizing that it is part of a timeless dimension.
Today’s ego creates a world of escapism. The more you try to escape from reality, the further away you are from reality. It distorts our perceptions and leads us to suffer more mental health issues.
Therefore, the time has come to understand our ego better and be more aware of our perceptions and thoughts. You have to let go of the fear of death. Without self-awareness, you are like a ship without an engine in the ocean of life. Rough seas bother you. You will feel less tired when you reach your destination. But if you want to be a ship that can navigate rough seas effortlessly, fuel your engine of self-awareness.
