My brain and I
Updated: Oct 25, 2018
When we are thinking I think we are not actually the ones that are thinking the thoughts. I believe the brain and the ability to control our motor skills come from a place far greater than what our outer shell is capable of. My thought that comes from my brain that is inside me is that perhaps by acknowledging what we do from an inner stand point can actually be beneficial to our health and our mental health.
People with mental illnesses like Anxiety, Depression and even dissociative identity Disorder (or multiple personality disorder as we know it) can often in society be made to feel weird or strange because the knowledge on these topics are often misunderstood.
My understanding is that with the brain doing the thinking and controlling of the motor skills, we are not actually in control. Yes, we can use our hands! Yes, we can use our feet. But is it actually us doing these things, or is it just that our brain has been programmed to carry out these actions?
From a Dissociative Identity Disorder standpoint, could the key to helping these people get better simply be by acknowledging the aspects of their own personality that they may be lacking in? An example would be that, if a person say has a difficult time letting their hair down and having a good time, another dissociative identity will come out that will not at all be afraid to tear it up. Maybe the person just needed to have some fun to begin with?
Anxiety, Much the same as Dissociative Identity Disorder, With Anxiety I have always been a firm believer that people get anxious when they are perhaps unable to control certain aspects of their lives. The anxiety will often manifest from something we are lacking of in our lives and by default our programming will go into overload mode and have an anxiety meltdown. Is this something we have control of? Absolutely not!!! But much the same as Dissociative Identity Disorder, the key to beating it may not be to shy away from it, but to embrace it.
I have always believed these things called mental illnesses are all related to one another in some way. But perhaps they are not illnesses at all? Perhaps they are just part of the many complexities that make up what is our brain?
My feeling is that in our conscious state of mind we are not actually as in control of our thoughts as many think, And it is actually in our subconscious state of mind where we have more control over our thoughts.
People often fear what they don’t understand! From a Neurological stand point there is a whole lotta lot to understand, The brain is a complex individual! Perhaps complex enough to where I would go out on a limb in saying that, The brain itself has Dissociative Identity Disorder.
I guess another point of view would be that subconsciously we do things intuitively. If our brain does work the way I have described, perhaps it is not our brain that thinks at all, yet our subconscious at work purely working through our intuition.
Even as I write I ponder whether my brain is helping me write, or perhaps Intuitively I have the words ready to go.
I Am in fact a ClairCognizant Empath that is highly intuitive. Through feelings and emotion I don’t know how but information just comes through. I don’t know where my thoughts come from and the truth is I am really not that intelligent but my intuition enables me to wing it.
