Our Seven Brains
Methods of Coherence
Coherence is a big word for friendly association, getting along, working together, alignment.
But what are our Seven Brains? We think of ourselves as having one brain. I have a brain, you have a brain, etc. Yet, some scientists say that there are also brain-type (neural) cells in the gut and in the heart. OK, so that makes three brains. Our brain has four lobes. That makes six. And I count the Cerebellum which sits below the rest of the brain. That’s seven. I’m not a biologist, not even close. So, I’m looking at our brains from the view point of how can they get along and work together rather than running off in all directions or arguing with each other all the time and driving my crazy?!
Lets’ look at what each of or brains does. Our Heart is our Valuator. When we focus on our heart, it can give real value to things. It can give value to each of our other brains. Our Gut is our Reactor. When we have a Gut Reaction, that’s our Gut Brain trying to communicate something to our other brains. Our Gut often communicates through Alerts. We interpret these are warnings even when they’re just informational. Our Cerebellum is our Coordinator. It takes input from the other brains and tries to make it make sense. Our Occipital Lobe (the one in back) is our Seer. It’s our visual processing center. It doesn’t just see, it visualizes. Our Temporal Lobe (on both sides of our brain) is our Listener. It does more than hear, it listens. Our Parietal Lobe (above the Temporal Lobe) is our Navigator. Our Frontal lobe (the one in front) is our Distinguisher. It Distinguishes things for us.
Each of our brains can take on the main function of a different brain. But, these are the things each one is best at in most people. Sometimes, we don’t like the answers that one of our brains is giving us. So, we either ignore those answers, or we rely on a different brain to give us those answers. And, if we still don’t like those answers and can’t ignore them, we might interpret them differently. But, what if we let our brains help each other and ourself? What if we help them be friends? What if we let them come into coherence so that they’re acting as one. Wouldn’t that be better?
