How can we tell if we are truly grounded or dreaming? How do we really know? What is an illusion? What is real? Who decides? When we see something what are we seeing? How do we see? How do we hear? How do we smell? How do we touch? How do we taste? Our senses decode and process the interactions between your energetic form and the energetic form of the environmental aspects around you. When you dream you are doing the same. You sense and decode energetic stimuli which are in your environment. They might not be perceived to be visually in your presence but they are there nonetheless.

   When we start to write what are we doing? We are decoding signals. The brain codes the impulse or thought and the decoded signal is sent through the nerves to the fingers. The feedback loop checks to make sure that the output is the same as the original thought so the brain must be feeding back into the environment what it is perceiving as it appears in front of it on the paper or screen.

   When we think what are we doing? What is it we do? We respond to a stimulus. An egoic stimulus which evokes a response. A pattern of thought perhaps. A conditioned response to a circumstance. The list of possible responses are accrued over time with conditioning. In addition we have a list of possible responses which are stored from education and teachings but they are in a secondary tier; not so strong or convincing. Our conditioned responses are the strongest ones; instinctive if you will. When we think we are actually running through that list and assessing to find the most suitable response or thought about the particular environmental stimulus which has occurred. It is a flow chart. When we think we enter at the top and work our way through the chart with yes and no and probabilities then reach conclusions based on weighting of how we valued the options. What we arrive at is based purely on what was available at that time but that is often extremely limited. Limited in early age by lack of experience and limited in later age by learnt responses and probabilities. Always erring towards caution, safety, fear-based. If we can learn to listen to our hearts and Higher Selves, then we are no longer limited in our options and thinking comes much clearer and appropriate to the situation engendered by the stimulus.

   How do we do this? Trust is the first step. Knowledge of another way of being, not taught in the mainstream. Belief will come from that once evidential experience begins to accrue. We will realise that our responses to stimuli become much more successful when we listen to our hearts and not our heads. Our hearts have our best interests at heart. Our brains are the processors. Without inputs from the heart the brain relies or draws on its memory bank of experience, but always with a fear-based focus. There is a part of the brain which has been created or engineered over time to be so very human and 3D and is focussed purely in this dimension. Focussed purely to keep the game going for as long as possible, regardless of the quality. The part of the brain which causes men to kill in self-protection. The part which causes men to step over another or to climb over them to get to safety. The selfish part. Not the loving part. The loving part is the heart and we need to learn to listen to it again.

   The brain has led us down the path of technological advancement but at the expense of harmony. Harmony with nature, harmony with the universe, harmony with each other, harmony with our own self. There is nothing clever about the advancements we have made technologically because they have omitted a vital part of the process: integration with heart. We have made advancements in abilities to achieve certain goals and functional capabilities but at a considerable cost. We didn’t read the brief. We rushed ahead, being mind/brain led, and created ways to achieve without stopping to listen to the gentle, quiet whisper of the heart. The unassuming words of love and guidance which have been drowned out by energetic noise pollution.

   A revision of thinking is required: thinking with the heart.
