Prologue 0.3
Your Brain vs. your Soul.
We depend on our brains too much. Trying to make decisions with logic and calculating things in life as if we know how exactly it is gonna play out. And then stressing out when things don’t go our way then suddenly everything works but not the way we wanted, but better! So, we calm down for a minute just to pick the stress back up again because we can’t not be on alert, right?!
Your brain is meant to take orders. It is very good at materializing the reality that YOU tell it to. But when you give up the handle and let your brain pick your reality… it picks the worst possible version driven from its survival strategies. It only thinks about the dangers, what could go wrong, what is missing, what we should be stressing about.
Because back in the cave days, it had the heavy responsibility to keep us alive that way. Now, the same strategies are being applied to much simpler and not at all dangerous situations:
Running a bit low on money this month
Your boss giving you a warning
Having a fight with your parent
Making a mistake and upsetting your partner
Stepping on your pet’s paw
All of these are DIFFICULT but not life threatening.
We have forgotten this big difference.
Because the truth is: it will always be difficult but we will always survive it.
As humans, we are DESIGNED to adapt, survive, and then thrive. Because we are the vehicles for our Soul’s journey.
As we have forgotten these distinctions, we have allowed life to become heavier, scarier, and much more intolerable than what it actually is. Instead of it being an adventure, it has become more of a torture. Simply because our Brain thinks it’s doing us a favor.
When we realize and remember that our Brain is the one that is supposed to take orders, we can question: “Who am I, if not my Brain?”
That’s where our Soul comes in.
Our Soul’s voice becomes louder as our Brain becomes quieter. And when your Soul speaks, it tells you what you’re meant to do, where to go, what decisions to make, what to eat, and even how to be your truest and progressively your best version which is just your Soul manifesting in your physical body.
You know that gut feeling you sometimes ignore and then bad luck follows? You know that pang in the back of your head stopping you from doing something? Or that sudden urge to do something and good things happen? It’s your Soul trying its best to communicate among the chaos of your Brain.
And all those questions you have?
What do I do? Who do I get help from? Should I go with this? How do I change?
If you only listen, intentionally, you alone would have all the answers you would ever need for your life and your journey.
In the upcoming chapters, we are going to go through the 4 Stages that help us quiet our Brain and listen to our Soul.
It’s simply a message my Soul taught me and told me to share, and may you receive it only if it aligns with your Soul.
Prologue 0.4 will be continuing on this.
Coming out on January 10th, 2025.
