The Thought

“Problems cannot be solvedat the same level of awareness that created them.”

(Albert Einstein)

Our brain is not set as a computer. We still don’t know where to find its memory. The quality of our thoughts, either in a positive or a negative way, creates different neuronal paths. The electro-magnetic signals of our neurons are affected by the way we behave or, better still, the way we perceive our surroundings. Therefore, our awareness has an impact on our own lifestyle. Furthermore, our brain is affected by our lifestyle and it generates cells that pair up with the chemical substances that cerebral impulses produce. In conclusion, our perception generates the release of peptides and protein chains, and the way these two link with cells creates our qualities. Repetitive thoughts create beliefs that, in turn, lead to habit. Perception is the final stage of this process. This is how our brain works. Perception creates a very personal way to see the world, therefore our vision varies from one individual to another. It is never the same. On this basis, we create our true self, along with our identity – which is not the role we play in life. Our free will, choices, yes’s or no’s are then made clear. At the end of this process, there is action and the responsibility of our choices. Awareness is part of the same energy that covers everything, and it is available to anyone. We only have to choose one path over another. Awareness is always there, it is up to individuals to take this incredibly enriching and endless opportunity. Awareness has no limit. Our power over our existence is therefore much wider than what a frightened or anxious mind can imagine. The care we put into our thoughts, words, actions, food, books and hobbies generates infinite paths of awareness to choose from, and a much deeper participation. One thing I know for sure is that the only way to participate, as we are, in our life is to go and find out who we really are and to re-member where we originally started from. We have to go back to the source of our true self at its simplest, relieved from all other distractions. We have to consciously take the path that leads to our personal “home”. Life is much richer and kinder than what we are told, and we can hold much more space for ourselves than what our mind can imagine.
