Seeing vs. Not Seeing: What If Your Mind Is a Tool for Observing
What if your mind is not for interpretation but for observation
We close our eyes and we cannot see. Our hearing gets damaged and we cannot hear. What if our brain — and consequently our mind — shuts down and we cannot see?
Just like we need to shut our eyes when the light is too harsh or use noise-canceling earphones in a helicopter, our minds automatically stop seeing when the heart thinks (the heart has 40,000 neurons for that ) that the threat is too much for our sensitive brain.
But the question is should we see at all times or should we stop seeing at certain times — as our systems say?
The obvious answer — according to our conditioning — would be this: No, we should always be alert and stay in charge of our emotions, feelings, and actions.
In a way, that is enough. But I want to consider if it’s okay to fall apart sometimes — in the words of Maria Carey or Ryan Stevenson:
“’Cause there is freedom in every drop Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart is when we fall apart.” ~ Ryan Stevenson.
