Cool The Human Brain – Part 1

There is only one human brain on this wonderful and beautiful earth. For the purposes of this particular/following discussion, one will use the expression human brain and human mind interchangeably (while, later on, in these posts, one will distinguish between brain and mind, because the mind is actually located outside the brain).

First of all, one can clearly see that what one person does and puts forth in this world can and does have an incredible impact and effect on the human brain ... of humanity. Someone like the Buddha had and still has an enormous effect upon millions of people. The same could be said of Mr. J.C. And all organized religions have affected the stream of consciousness of humanity, of the human brain. And, of course, someone like Hitler also had an impact on millions of people as well. There are countless examples of individuals across a broad spectrum who have affected the consciousness of the human brain.

In one way, one can say this human brain is a flowing stream of humanity’s consciousness. And, like any stream, one can throw a stone into the water, and the ripples will be felt by all. Of course, some people have a greater impact than others.

Obviously, the Buddha, who had freed himself from the stream, had an enormous impact, the ripples being felt like a meteor landing in the water... still, to this day.

On the other hand, someone like Hitler and all the other monsters also had an incredible destructive and negative impact on the stream of consciousness of the human brain. Closer to home, white supremacists, such as the KKK have done their share of damage to the human brain. As one can see, Trump has also played his part by adding to this conflict by using the fear of white supremacists of being overrun by m/woc, and changing their gene pool and culture, and their sense of security, thus fueling hatred - that ugly combination of fear and anger.

Now, historically, most people form groups/cliques/gangs/nations out of a feeling for a need of security which such formations give them. One has understood that such formations usually develop in teenage years - while at this age, this development demonstrates the immaturity of the clique members, who “identify” with the clique (also seeming to offer an opportunity for them to discover who they are, which actually is false, since the “identification” itself blocks such a personal discovery). When not properly addressed when younger, such behaviour will continue ad nauseum well past into adulthood. One has done considerable meditation on this need for security, and one has seen that the primary goal of the brain is to ensure security. The human brain requires security in order to function sanely, to grow and develop, to learn, etc. Without a feeling of security, the brain doesn’t function well. This is easily seen, right? Allegiance to such cliques promote, sustain, and nourish this feeling of security, and of course, the fear of losing this security, which fear increases the longer any one participates in whatever group they involved in, in any organized group.

However, reality is such that one sees clearly that there is nothing secure in the outside world. Everything is change. Moreover, people are changing constantly. Everyone is constantly adding to their own personal consciousness through experiences and such like.

It is a curious fact, that even after adherence to a clique, and confronted with the truth and fact of change, clique members refuse to see that reality. In other words, each human brain, forever seeking security, will lie to itself in order to protect and maintain this illusion of security. This is a deeply-seated fear that lies within the human consciousness. Politicians use this knowledge to maintain positions of power.

The problem of all cliques is that they unwittingly cause division in society, therefore causing conflict, which usually ends up in violence. So, it is seen that all cliques, all groups, in any form of organized group activity contribute unwittingly to the conflict in society - just by participating in cliques (in any organized groups), by the fact that they themselves separate themselves from the human consciousness of humanity on the whole. This is one of the reasons why humanity is in such a mess, why there are always wars happening daily on this beautiful planet.

Involved in all of this is the illusion that each member of society is an “individual”. Moreover, the human brain also encourages and fosters the absurd notion of individualism. However, the word “individual” actually means someone who is not divided, who has not separated themselves from others in any way whatsoever, in other words, someone who is whole, sane, rational, not separate...

Ya know, everyone is - at least - a bit neurotic, and has suffered some damage, some sorrow in childhood, to which such a person - by acting out the conditioning of that damage - also contributes to the conflict of the human consciousness. Further in life, people suffer sorrow through the loss of loved ones and other events in their lives.

Throughout the millennia, there has been incredible damage to the genes of the human brain – through generational damage, through pollution, through wars, conflict, separation, violence, abuse, etc. One can easily see this happening outwards in terms of simple things: increase in allergies, the alarming increase of dementia (even occurring at younger and younger ages), an increasing number of complicated and scary diseases (dis-eases), the introduction of gmo’s, pollution, etc. So, besides psychological damage, there are also external damages which further add to all that one is exposed to and affected by.

I will continue with this subject of the human brain in the second part.
