Evolutionary Neurology>A Story by Steve L.Delving into the mind, heart, and beyond...Evolutionary Neurology>< Metaphysical Transcendence
The frontal, occipital, parietal, and temporal
lobe…all encompass the most magical, mysterious, and powerful organ in human
history. No one can profess to know what actually transpires in the brain. Theories
abound, medical tests have been conducted, but there are dark parts of the
brain that lurk amongst the discovered…
The frontal lobe, our special forces lobe…conscious
thought…miracles and atrocities have developed and spawned from this ivory
tower…The other lobes…generate our senses…our survival at the most primal
level… Our thoughts and actions can physiologically change
the structures and neural pathways within our minds…that is mind blowing…The
brain automatically performs thousands of functions per second that we are not
even cognizant of…The brain will go along with a vicious downward spiral of
depression unless we intervene. But who intervenes? Our brain controls everything, and as previously
mentioned, a lot of it is at the subconscious level. So, who is in control? Our brain or our
conscious thought? Are they one in the same? We share a symbiotic relationship
with our brain. However, the relationship can also be classified as
double-edged. The brain can and will run the show unless we direct our thoughts
to amend, edit, increase, or decrease some type of brain activity.
Neurotransmitters can run amok. Serotonin can flood the market, creating
depression. OCD can create a serious snowball effect. Eating disorders are
diabolical. Why can’t we take a step back and realize that things have gone
awry. The brain: Friend or enemy…Fungible or rigid…Addict or Lighthouse… Millions of neurons are working diligently…each has
some type of job to perform…however, if one misfires, it could create a ripple
effect…an event this small can develop to proportions large enough to affect
our everyday lives…But is it too late to “fix” the neuron? It is not too late.
This is where neuroplasticity and cognitive therapy come into play. We control our brains. They do not control us. They
assist us with a multitude of things that cannot be dealt with on a conscious
level. However, thoughts, emotions, action, CAN be controlled by us. They need
to be controlled by us. Is the current version of our vehicles the last step
in the evolutionary process? If not, what will change? Our anatomy? Our brain?
Have we utilized the full potential of the mysterious presence residing inside
our skull? What am I going to eat for breakfast? What am I
going to wear today? Who am I? Why do I exist? Where am I in the big play in
which the main attraction is the inconsequential f*****g history of the known
and unknown universe? When is “Mob Wives” on?
Within our brain is there another level to be
reached? Have we exhausted our neurological potential? I firmly believe that
there is a vast world of undiscovered and uncharted brain functioning that has
not yet been tapped into. Are there different entities walking among us? Can we
tap into other’s minds? Can we converse telepathically? So, what is our true
potential? Will it ever be realized?
We cannot exist on this planet while on cognitive
autopilot. Embrace the present moment. Do not travel through your journey
called life only contemplating the past and future. They are not within the
parameters of your imminent domain. Your mind should not be a wild mustang
galloping across the plains. Control it! Are there adjacent realms and dimensions where other
beings exist? Maybe one day we can traverse into the ether, travel to far off
places, even if that place is exactly where you are standing, but maybe in a
different time or dimension. Just imagine what we do not know about the
universe. About our planet… About us… What is wind? Where does it originate? The heart...a muscle that pumps life into our bodies from
the moment we are created until the moment when the lights dim and go out.
Awareness tells of an aorta, arteries, ventricles, a vena cava, and an atrium.
On the opposite may exist a paradigm not of human muscle and tissue, but of an
enlightened mode of being. When someone states that they have a “broken heart”, it
is not in a literal sense. So, does the true nature of the heart reside in that
mysterious, magical, and fickle organ? Or is it transcendent beyond our realm
of comprehension? Are both the heart and brain merely a superficial life
preserver? Hiding and protecting us from the real...the true...are we not
programmed for this? Can we not handle it? Or are we just not there yet? Maybe
in a few thousand years...a human being can travel throughout vast depths and
corners of the universe...can step between dimensions to gather thought and
education. Am I here? What is time? Can we truly explain life? Does
one action create a myriad of reactions and consequences that can ripple
throughout existence? Are there a finite number of possibilities and outcomes?
Are they limitless? Can we change these or are we destined for certain
phenomena? Can one firing of a neuron change the course of history?
Yes. This microscopic action can become an idea...which can become an
obsession...which can be communicated to the masses...which can permeate all
humanity... Feeling...emotion...love...passion...eternal
paradox...wars have been waged over these...empires have fallen... A unique and unexplainable connection to another is
visceral...invigorating...maddening...can we control this or are we meant to
come into another’s plane of travel? Time can stand still...An immense lighting storm can
overtake all rational thought. Is marriage the apex? Are there soul mates? I believe
that there can potentially be many soul mates that come in and out of your life
timeline. All become part of you for a reason...Do you attract them or do they
attract you? Intercourse...the ultimate link...a million emotions can
manifest themselves through this simple but infinitely complicated act. Are our soul connecting and joining? Are our subconscious
minds f*****g? Untold and undiscovered secrets wait to be discovered... There are two souls that have yet to come into being in
our space/time continuum....Time, randomness, possibility, indefinable
magnets...will spark a dormant enclave in the mind...The Adam and Eve of the
transcendence of the mind and body… Questions will be recalibrated…possibilities infinite…time
may fold onto itself…randomness may become extinct…your mind will spread its
massive wings to its full potential…and fly off into the vast unknown. © 2014 Steve L.Author's Note
