Let's go a lil further

For those of you who may have a scientific bent, check out this link to an interesting YouTube clip. This goes further to explain some of the ideas in my last post, 'Turbulence.'

Neurons

There is a connection here to what I was explaining as the origin of fear: the untrue notion that we are separate from our surroundings and that we imagine to be in control of things which we have no control. It is that apparent lack of control over our environment that gives rise to fear. Fear in all of it's various forms: anger, irritation, frustration, guilt, loneliness, boredom, etc...

What this video explains is that there is an absence of separation at the basic neuronal level that connects us to the environment in which we find ourselves. And it is our lack of self-awareness, of how we are connected to everything that actually prevents us from seeing reality in a truer sense. Fear puts up blinders in our world. We are blinded to our connection to our surroundings and therefore we operate under many false beliefs regarding the nature of everything.  We are under the false assumption that we are separate from the world around us. And this leads to an even more limiting belief that we somehow have to prove ourselves worthy of the life that we live. When, in fact, we are an integral part of everything.

Once we start the process of shedding the fear that we have, reality becomes much more friendly, brighter, and we discover how and why there is so much to appreciate and wonder at in life. It leads to the new operating system that is managed by the emotion of gratitude rather than the emotion of fear.
