Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Do you remember that nursery rhyme? Well, how about we find out how our organic brain grows and develops .... Then we can gracefully nurture it, so that it blossoms and blooms as a radiant rose Inside our head there are various departments, compartments, areas and domains that contain information.... All these different compartments are connected to each other and are competing for attention to get access within our central ‘thought-of-the-moment.' For instance, we may have two itches at
same time. One in foot and one in our nose and strongest itch will take center court. So it is with all our other thoughts. A tranquil joyful thought, that may be meaningful, could be overrode by a stronger angry negative emotion. Whatever congests/inspires mind, will deplete/nourish body.
Our mind accommodates a vast network of intelligence all vying to be admitted into our consciousness. Some of intelligence has been accumulated in our memory banks over time, whilst other forms of intelligence are transmitted into our headquarters from different parts of our body.
The five senses also play a big part what thoughts we are thinking. As we observe events going on all around us, our mind processes information our sight, sound, tastes, touch and smell relay into our minds. Other people's actions/words, which we come into contact with, can also have an effect on our digestion of information, as do media, education, religion and everything we observe on a daily basis.
All information is constantly being collected, processed and transmitted into our conscious thoughts and then, thoughts themselves cause a reaction in every part of our body......How do I know all this? Simply by paying attention to how my mind/body functions......Just like Mary, Mary, I want to know how my garden (authentic, organic mind) is growing and what I can do to make it produce a joyful, loving bouquet of thoughts. And I must admit, I have become very skilled in-deed, and I enjoy every moment, in a most delightful manner.
One hundred years ago there were no wireless sets, TVs or Internet, so events that happened in other parts of country and world took a long time to come to our attention. In many cases they were not noticed by average person, so atrocities committed in other places had no effect on our lives...Hence saying ... ignorance is bliss.
In today's world, hunger for information is magnified by a media who are hell bent on reporting all dregs of humanity it can find. Any true philosophy of life, that can help folks enjoy their lives on earth, is ignored and neglected. Some sections of public are now (mistakenly) trained to feast on other people's downfalls and derogation. More demand for negativity fabricates ... more sick minds and bodies.
