The Language of Empowerment pt6

The Language of Empowerment pt6 It's now known that the brain is a network of approximately one hundred billion neurons. Every time we have am experience, we create a different neural connection that produces our various emotions. This has positive and negative implications for us. The frequency of having similar experiences increases the strength, efficiency and intensity of the neural connections; the more frequently something happens, the more we know it. By using the language of empowerment and our power of intention, we strengthen the things we empower in others in ourselves and we increase rationality and our emotional resilience, our ability choose the higher value and manifest the right action responses that enrich our lives and experiences also increases. Increasing knowledge in the field of neural science has given us a better understanding of the role our mind plays in shaping our identity and culture. Self-observing profoundly changes the way our brain works. It activates the self-regulating parts of the brain that give us control over our feelings. Observing others or imaging other experiences fires empathic mirror neurons that give us the same value and perception as though we ourselves did that which we observed or imagined. Comparison is part of the human condition; it's how we learn, by observing, comparing, assessing and, if necessary, altering or adjusting our behaviour. If we prescribe labels or judgments when we compare, we limit our ability stay out of duality, because labels and judgments are the tools of duality. When we ascribe terms such as good or bad, happy or sad, better or worse, we limit our ability to see through to the end what is to be seen in the moment. This is not to say that making assessments before or after experiencing the moment isn't necessary, but we must remember to absorb the moment fully, objectively and clinically. Actively listening increases our awareness, which allows us to face and pass through the continuum of experience, feeling each moment, and with empathy, learn to choose the higher value, instead of being prejudiced of the experience and expressing ourselves as less than we are. While we don't want to minimize the revealing power that comparison has on the quickening, strengthening, learning and evolutionary growth processes, we don't want to blur it with prejudgments either. We must recognize how quickly our mind comes to judgments. Recognizing how quickly we pass judgments reveals the need to predetermine our intention. Science is a process of hypothesis, analysis and conclusion. Our minds need to work in the same scientific manner. We need to determine a framework of intention and when situations present themselves, attempt to apply our determination and then evaluate our effectiveness. This process helps us to be more principally centered in the moment and cultivates an non-judgmental, comparison. When we compare without criticism or harsh labelling, we have more opportunity to see experiences for what they are, chances to grow. Non-comparison is about embracing the power of our own experience and building the curiosity for information that produces empathetic feelings for another's expression of experience. Our ego is always around. It's a faculty of the mind and while it serves us and keeps us safe at times of perceived threat, it also misinterprets threats based on perceived self-interest, investments, involvements, needs and wants. We must examine our perception of threats to see if our perception is real or imagined. If it is real, we must act in accordance to safety, security and concern. If it is imagined, it's image related and stems from a need to self-serve. It's sure to cause disharmony, distress and disunity. When we self-serve we serve our ego, we can't perceive the real value of the moment, nor can we see the moments for what they truly are. Moments are opportunities to find the higher value and build an awareness of how to use the power of our intention. |

Interesting and very profound...proof once again of the power and complexities of the brain.
