Oh god, why this sixth sense and strong memory????
Hai all...
If we look around us, we have ANIMALS and HUMAN BEINGS.
When animals look at anything they get two things in their mind...
1. Is it my food?...
2. Is it a threat to me?...
because the basic instincts are search and eat food, reproduce, protect from enemies.
It’s memory is small, restricted and short lived with respect to everything including RELATIONSHIPS. So, they forget their relationships. Mother forgets the kid. It remembers only till the kid becomes independent.
Whereas a human being when he or she sees someone or something or someplace, many things come in the mind, including the above two questions, as we are also animals. But our brain is an evolved one, advanced one with sixth sense. So, it starts thinking about ‘cause and effect’ relationships. That is...why, how, why not, when, what, what are the causes, what are the effects etc.
The human memory is very large, complicated and long lived most importantly with respect to PEOPLE and RELATIONSHIPS.
These are the two things which give us all problems in life....
1. sixth sense making us to think ‘cause and effect’ relationships even without we consciously thinking about some thing...without our knowledge...while we do something...
2. Memory of people, places, life events, things, animals and relationships.
On earth, everyone is a scientist!...specially our Indians.
When our eyes and ears are ‘on’, all senses are ‘on’, without our knowledge the inputs go to brain and it processes for ‘cause and effect’ relationships.
For e.g the old granny at home will be just sitting in front of the house...no conscious thought process...her eyes will see the opposite house lady entering the adjacent bachelor’s house. That is all. Her senses wake up and the brain starts processing. WHY did she go? WHAT is her intention? WHAT is the relationship between the two?.
You know what will happen to this. She will spread this news, speculate many things, sit every day and watch for the latest update and her life goes on.
Like this our brain keeps processing all the inputs for the ‘cause and effect’ relationships and produces related EMOTIONS (e.g granny gets angry at that girl) and related BEHAVIOURS (e.g she spreads the news, alerts the girl’s parents and neighbours etc).
If our senses and PERCEPTIONS are positive (e.g if the granny thinks ‘the girl has gone in the presence of her parents, she is not hiding, she is a good girl and the boy is also good, they are good friends only’ then the perceptions are positive) then the resultant EMOTIONS and BEHAVIOURS also are positive, constructive, giving peace, happiness, good physical health, mental health and social health.
Positive perceptions and happiness do not come on their own. Our culture, people around us have taught mostly negative perceptions only. So, we tend to form negative opinions, emotions and decisions. We have to train our brain with spirituality and good virtues to perceive all the life events positively. It is a conscious effort. It has to come from childhood.
So, we need to learn ourselves this and thereafter to teach to our children.
Similarly the strong and large memory makes us to remember anything and everything and gives us sadness, bad health and does not allow us to progress in life. For e.g we remember those who cheated us, our close relationships (when they go away or die we get affected)...we have both pleasant and unpleasant memories. Pleasant ones give happiness and are good for health. Unpleasant ones are bad for health and bring sadness.
When we train ourselves for positive perceptions, the memories also are positive and they always give us happiness and good health.
But from morning to night, we look at people and life events negatively. Just try to recollect how many positive things you thought about people whom you looked at today and the life events you experienced?
We don’t forget people, the good things we enjoyed with them, the bad things we perceived or experienced...hmmm...we need to change a lottttt!
we need to forget many, forgive many, delete many life events of the past...
So, when we go to temple next time let us not ask god for wealth. Let us ask for good health (physical, mental and social), positive perceptions, positive memories and ability to forget bad memories about people and relationships and even the bad relationships we formed.
How to do it?...1. type ‘positive psychology’ in google and read 2. Ask some psychologist for the methods 3. Read my posts in Face book or my blog.
