The Brain/Mind is Dual. It decides what is good or bad but it does not see how things really are. It sees the creation but it fails to see that it co-created it. It is not the Brain/Mind's fault. It was made this way. The Right and Left Hemispheres of the Brain do not Communicate With Each Other Very Well. and They Are Totally Different Perspectives (This is scientifically proven.) (Watch Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain Scientist Who Had a Stoke... A Stroke of Insight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU ) This is the Physical Reality. This is Why It Is Important to Do Present Moment or Observer Self Work. The More You Are Your Observer Self the More Your Two Brain Hemispheres Communicate Thus Laying Down Dendrite Paths Between Them and Increasing The Rate of Communication. (Meditation speeds this process up.) Observation Causes Consciousness by changing the Organic Brain so it Can Communicate and Understand In Graduating Sequences of Non-Duality. We are Learning to:
1. Speak the Language of God (The Wave of Gratetude.*) Remember, The Non-Dual God Mind doesn't communicate with Words or Images. There is a knowing that is separate from the knowing the Brain/Mind does.
2. Intend (Determine and Make Your 'I Am' statements) and
3. Stand Back (Experience The Limitless Space and Let Things Be Okay The Way They Are) and
4. Allow (Let Go of the Outcome).
We are a conduit of energy.
The Brain/Mind decides what is good and what is bad and to what degree. Then, when something it has determined is 'bad' happens it resists 'what is' to the point of keeping it the way it doesn't want it to be. Or, it Filters Out the Facts so it doesn't have to Deal with them. This is how Duality works. It is Good or Bad. I like it or I don't like it. It is possible that something Bad actually turns out to be Good… this actually happens quite a lot in my life. Things turn out to be Different than What my Brain/Mind determines them to be. Master this and you will be enlightened.
My Non-Dual Mind (God) Is Finding and Communicating Ways to Become Enlightened Into The Quantum Soup of Energy That Is Everything. There is no cap on How Many Ways There Are. This is Resourceful Work.
If something happens that my Brain/Mind doesn't like or think is right… it gets mesmerized by it and can't look away or it filters the facts out and makes further decisions without the facts. This causes 'what I don't prefer' to be all I experience. That's like a 'deer in the headlights' way of reacting (Except, I don't think deer just stand there and ignore what's happening because they blocked out reality though… that's definitely Human). Around here, in the mid-west, we know that when a deer locks its vision on headlights, it freezes, which is a survival instinct that doesn't work when it is in the Path of the car.
My Recommendation is that you turn your attention away from that which you don't want… right after You Look at it very Closely (in a curious, loving and friendly manner… watching the Brain/Mind's criticism without identifying with it) and Determine What You Do Need to Focus on. Then, Focus with Certainty and Faith on what you do want. When I Let Things Be Okay the Way they Are… I stop being hooked by the duality of like and don't like. This releases incredible energy that causes In The Moment Living. Thinking Non-Dual lets me see 'what is' without filtering anything out so I get the unadulterated and unfiltered stimuli; in other words, I get The Truth. The Non-Dual Mind (god) can handle any amount of stimuli and Make Resourceful Choices. (Ahhh, here comes another wave of Gratefulness.*)
Dual Thinking
Everything that the Brain/Mind lets through its filters is then subjected to an operating system that determines the Good/Bad, Right/Wrong, Up/Down Brain/Mind Dichotomy of Every Person/Place/Thing/Event. Dialectical Behavior Therapy brought my attention to this and helped me understand it. I spent a Year In DBT. I Went 5 Days a Week, 2 Hours a Day for a Year. That Was My Longest Most Valued Psychological Therapy. I Highly Recommend Marsha M. Linehan for her DBT work. She Developed the DBT Program Using Zen and Behaviorism. All The Insurance Companies Are On the DBT Bandwagon because DBT has shown clinical progress in its patients where once there was little to no progress. DBT reinforced all my 'Be The Watcher' work. For Me, This Was The Beginning Of Actually Questioning The Dual Way of 'Making Judgments' and how Everything Hung on Those Judgments. The Brain/Mind decides if this 10% of stimuli left after It sifted the other 90% out without any Resourceful Guidance, is Right or Wrong. Hmmm. That's Why Things Keep Turning Up The Other Way. The Brain/Mind needs to have its keys to the Kingdom revoked.
Thinking With My Non-Dual Mind (God) changes everything.
*(I Am Grateful All The Way to My Cellular Level… that is how 'deep' this feeling of Gratitude Is. It is an actual Experience. I Love to sit and let it Roll Over Me like a wave of gentle, loving, understanding.)
