Kickstart Your Journey to self discovery, find who you are actually!

 

Work on your thoughts or belief to become successful

The very first thing is you need to understand how to discover yourself, who you are actually, what thoughts arise in your mind, how your thoughts arise, and what beliefs you hold about money. It need not be a good belief only, can be bad also, you need to understand how your brain responds and processes information then only you can work on your thoughts or belief to change or modify to become a new version you which we are going to discuss next.

Create a mental framework to find opportunities

here is the difference in thinking and mindset of a financially successful man, they learned the lesson from their failure and make changes in their mental framework and look for the next opportunity and this time they do it faster, bigger, and more importantly they do it repeatedly without fear of failure.

Accept the changes in your belief system – that block you from making more money

This is not a single-day process or not information on a piece of paper that you read and digest or memories.  Please my sincere request is don’t cram the information that I am trying to convey later on these blog posts. I called it a framework to be used for modifies your thought process and any wrong belief about money that you hold for a long time.

How do your body’s survival mechanisms affect you?

Do you know sometimes your brain is more obedient to your body than you? This means your brain sometimes works for your body and you feel that you are the master of your brain and you instruct your brain to do that work. Now the question is why I am telling all of these to you. This is not peace information to share with you, I am telling this because all of these happen due to the protective or survival mechanism of our body.

So how do these survival mechanisms affect you? Suppose when you feel hungry or tired, your body needs food or rest to protect and repair itself and your brain responds to this requirement. When you need to do some hard work or something that makes you feel uncomfortable but you still know doing that work will be beneficial for you, your brain will resist you to do that work due to the survival mechanism.

Understand your special power given by God called Intelligence

 there must be something inside you that helps your mind to understand your brain working or your brain’s thinking pattern that I just explained above. Notice you are trying to monitor the activity of your own brain by yourself. This special power of humans is given by a good called Intelligence. So you are driven by the mind and your mind is driven by the combination of your brain and your intelligence.

But in the case of humans, you are able to understand yourself, just like right now we are trying to understand the brain which means there is something beyond the brain that beyondness called intelligence i.e. the capacity of the mind to understand itself or anything. You can think your brain is like any modern electronic gadget that has a memory associated with it and an automatic deletion process associated with it. So in a nutshell your brain is pretty much an automatic machine. Before I explain why I say your brain is an automatic machine you need to understand a few things.

How to figure out what are beliefs you hold

Properties and behavior of our brain

Have you ever heard about the property of the material called Elasticity, For Example when a rubber or plastic is banned (stretched) and released, it came back to its previous shape called elasticity. Just like elasticity brain has an almost similar property in that it keeps registering everything. Every experience that the brain goes through leaves a permanent scar or mark on it. This is called the plasticity of the brain. The plasticity itself is a source of conditioning.

Think like this, whatever happens to you in days in or days out, every single experience leaves a scar, a mark, a stain on the mind, this is called conditioning. Now you have a clear understanding of brain conditioning and plasticity.

Take your time and think calmly about yourself and try to figure out what are the conditionings you hold from your past. The source of this conditioning could be anything like your family background, you’re brought up, or even a single incident of a road accident that happen many years ago in front of you and you see people are not helping others which makes you believe that society is so cruel.

Understand the difference between knowledge and information

A memory is a recollection of a sequence of events, which is called knowledge whereas that knowledge is not the data, not the information but it is leaving a permanent mark on the thinking process itself, which is called conditioning.

For Example, you normally heard that the first boy in your class has very good knowledge, why? Because every year he or she scored the highest marks in exams? This is not because of knowledge but because of the information, he gathered for his exam. Now you differentiate between knowledge and information.

If your brains are pretty much automatic machines then as humans we are automatic?

As I discussed earlier, all that the brain does is very much mechanical, like an instrument, it records all things automatically and of course, there is an automatic deletion process because we cannot remember everything till today, not even the last six hours what you see, you cannot recall all these. So the brain is pretty much an automatic machine.

Now, we human beings are also automatic? The answer is obviously not; the very fact that we are discussing and understanding the brain means that we are something beyond the brain.

 A machine cannot understand itself, what it doing, and why it is doing but as humans, we are trying to understand the brain which means we are something beyond the brain, that beyondness called intelligence. Intelligence is nothing but the capacity of our mind to understand. This capacity no machine possesses. The capacity of the mind to understand itself or anything.

When can Intelligence Operate?

Intelligence only can operate on attention. Intelligence does not come from anywhere, the moment an environment of attention is created, and intelligence automatically begins to function. Or you could say, intelligence is always there, the moment you gave it an environment of attention its functioning became available to you.

Journey to self-discovery – Start thinking in the right direction

 

Now what does the brain do? How does it operate?

The brain operates in duality. What is called duality? Characteristics of duality are:

1. It has two sides and those two sides look opposite of each other.
2. That the two sides always co-exist.
3. And one side can disappear, only with the disappearance of the other side.

Examples are good and evil, sorrow and happiness, similarly past and future are two sides of duality.

Now, the brain has accumulated the past. Is the past really there? Is past any more there? The answer is no. What does the brain have then, an image of the past, memory? An image by definition is not real. So, the past really is not there anymore.

Similarly, if the brain creates an image of time to come that is called as future.

So, the brain is full of past memories and is always wandering into the future. Past and the future, are the only two places where the brain keeps wandering.

How to figure out what are beliefs you hold

All hopes and imaginations of the future are necessarily from the past. Now where does the intelligence operate then? Intelligence operates in the environment of attention. And what point of time? It operates at ‘present’. Here ‘present’ actually does not even refer to time. Time really is past and future, the ‘present’ is such a small amount that it cannot be right to call it moment. It is not even a point in time. The present is just attention.

Our brain keeps roaming in the memory of our past and future, on the other hand, intelligence operates in the present moment, you can call it timelessness. Intelligence is in right now. The function of the brain is to keep imagining, keep dreaming whereas the function of intelligence is to understand at present. Have you noticed the difference between your understanding and your Imagining?

Your Brain is your most dangerous Enemy

How To Change Your Beliefs

Sometimes it is impossible to change any beliefs in your whole life, you could think like, your positive beliefs are positive energy and negative beliefs are negative energy. Now you can not destroy the energy but can transform them from one form to another form. This is why modifying any beliefs is quite easy rather than trying to change them. Modifying any belief needs very less effort and time than changing any belief.

Past is not true because it is lost, it is finished. The future is also not true because it came from your past. Now the only thing that is true is ‘Present’. So the intelligence called the brain boss wakeup but the brain does not wake up because it is just like a mechanical device. It has no power to wake up. It will keep on doing what it needs to do, its condition doings.

How to be the best version of yourself

 

When does the automatic behavior of the brain become dangerous for us?

Above mentioned all these are a function of the brain, till the time it is limited to that, it is all right But in reality what happens is, this carryon effects of the brain are not only limited to maintaining an effective body, it starts interfering in our daily life, it starts interfering in the way we look at our relationship, in the way we want, we talk, in the way we look at the world, then there is a problem. Now do you co-relate with an example I gave at starting of this post that why people love to sit on the sofa for hours and hours?

So, in conclusion, we can say the conditioning of the brain helps us to some extent to perform day-to-day functions.

Without basic minimum conditioning, physical life would become impossible. So conditioning is helpful only to that extent but conditioning became very, very dangerous when it starts interfering in the way one looks around, Your perception of the world, your vision of the future, everything. So focusing on these will make you the best version of yourself. Hope these help.
