The body as a museum
lol lately I look at my body as though it is a museum... in a way, a step up from just being a vehicle... our bodies are SO amazing... the intricity... the complexity, the synchronicity of cells metabolizing.. organ systems working together to produce proper results... our NERVOUS system for christ's sake... just the fact that our brain is this network of individual neurons that have learned to fire and connect in certain ways that create consciousness as we know it today.
Our brains work on a system where each neuron is relatively weak in comparison to the computational ability of the whole.... I forget what these types of systems are called... but they require many many base rules.... for instance, being a baby, we have to learn to efficiently coordinate our senses and the information coming in... we tap into language and these predetermined areas in the genetic map of our brain.. we learn structure of people... we learn the rules of behavior, we learn the rules of body movements and what it means to be within a body in general. Spatial awareness.... and this is the humongous base that we ahve to create before we can become the quantum geniuses every single one of us is in every moment....
think of it as a graph... in the beginning growth is slow and very gradual.. the neural net has to work out the foundation... the individual brain cells being 'stupid' and needing of a group 'HIVE MIND' that's it.. it's called a hive mind. Sort of like birds in the sky who fly around..their basic rules are 'stay close to the 'you's' next to you, but don't run into them' and there you see these amazing patterns of complex behavior.. as flocking from location to location... a stream of 1000s of a flock leaving a group of trees at once.. here is no greater intelligence.. just these stupid individuals that have worked together with time and genetic selection to create what seems to be intelligent behavior, butr when it is really scrutinized and looked at for what it is, becomes just a reaction.
but as the foundations is creatd... we seem to know certain ways of being in situations.. we get input from the environment and try random things, or observe others and absorb knowledge through a sort of 'osmosis.' and once we have a nice base to start from... the graph begins to grow an escalate at an exponential rate...... and after a while, we are no longer these concrete beings (from the younger ages.. the moon is there and is 2d within the mind) and we begin to understand and see abstract concepts and to think of ourselves in this same intrapersonal experience. This is the quantum experience. Our brains become so complex as a neural functioning net.. as a hive mind, that the observer begins to emerge.. that part of consciousness that is the anamoly. The emergent behavior of the hive growing and further interconnecting itself in response to experiences.. both inner and outer. We think we are in control of who we are.. and what we do, feel, think, desire... but in truth, this isn't really the case. There have been studies done that there is a certain amount of 'computation' in terms of deciding to do something before it actually crosses the threshold of awareness and we act.. all this is pretty miniscule, but it shows that we do first and our only ability is to decide NOT to do... in this way, at least. This is the observer..t hat deeper, or higher consciousness within ourselves... that amazing piece of work. oh man.. I could go on and on about the observer... the piece of ourselves that is beyond human.. beyond being an animal. We have the monkey mind.. that understands logic and structure, how to maneuver through our lives, and then there's the higher mind. Who we reach in meditation.. who we reinforce in pondering, and slow, quiet, contemplation. The observer connects us to the quantum field. I wonder if this is the right half our brain... the whollistic thinker, the visionary.
it's just so amazing... we just exist day by day and don't really APPRECIATE the significance of WHAT WE ARE. WHO we are. The fact that we are basically just empty space. How there is a table holding up my computer... that we have technology in the first place. How there are over 6 BILLION of us living their lives all over the planet. How we've progressed through our history as a species. How we even BECAME a species in the first place.... I find myself getting caught up in the life we've created and instilled as a civilization... become complacent to it, and just coasting. But... this is not the way to live. in this sense, one becomes half-dead. That spark we are all capable of taking hold... nurturing... and then eventually RREALLY beghinning to live. Taking each moment for a blessing, and seeing the raw opportunity of the mind to create a perspective/mentality that builds our life each moment at a time. Maybe this is what ascension is partially about.. learning to really beginning to live... and thrive. to SHINE. then.. from what we create, we know we're creating those pathways within ourselves.. our brains... and later our mind will churn out a self, or situation that is congruent with the beliefs and expectations we previously inputed. It's feeling this responsibility for pruning ourselves at every moment.
Our brains are SOOOOOOOOO smart. SOOOOOOOOOOO fricking smart. Every memory, every thought is SOMEWHERE. IT is a biological hive mind that is primed to pick up patterns and we hardy even tap into this. Those insights we have. knowing something is gonna happen... knowing what to say in a certain siuation.. just happening upon some synchronicity. This is a great majority our brain leading us where our limited awareness has hardly any understanding for. It's from expecting, and self-creating. It's as though we have 1000s of channels turned on within us.... and our consciousness is merely 1, or 2... and the higher you go, the greater the pattern, the higher the intelligence on a structurally patterned level... and in these higher channels, we find creativity.... oh god.. creativity is the essense, that spark within that MAKES US HUMAN. MAKES US SPIRITS LIVING A HUMAN LIFE. human angels. We have to discipline ourselves in this way.. it is our duty and responsibility.
most only look at the surface... there is so much more to life that we have yet to understand... the best mentality is to think way into the future, and picture what they would think... or what you as your higher self wold think... as a pure spirit.
tt's all just so amazing.
