The third brain... immersion: the secret to mastery of life and growth

There are, in my experience, three thinking brains, at least potentially, in every human...

The first thinking brain, the mind, that is in cahoots, in collusion, working against you with the selfish gene. That is what creates a life of reactivity, full of fear, full of anxiety, full of sharp turns and devastating jerks. I"ve lived there... and I hated it.

The second thinking brain, the one that evaluates, reasons, figures stuff out, is slow and plodding, and hard work. Creates real solutions, keeps you out of trouble... but not fun.

And then there is the third thinking brain... the work of thinking is done in the background, on the back burner, while the foreground is silent, resting, or busy learning something new..

That is where I live now.

I am getting a few questions about that, and I decided to tell you as much as I can see... the mechanism is largely hidden from my view... It is in the background...

I"ll use myself, and clients" and students" stuff as illustrations...

In the past month I saw more maturing, more "going to the next level" than I had seen in all my career as a coach.

NEW: Impostor Syndrome - One of the stumbling block to becoming an Expanding Human Being

http://www.yourvibration.com/wp-content/uploads/writers-block-4-300x277.jpg
It is puzzling to watch people not taking any actions that would make a lot of sense for them to take. They will cling, tooth and nail, to some status quo that only they see: it seems that they don"t want to find out that they can, and they don"t want to find out that they can"t.

This relegates them into the status of has-been, or never-been. You can"t hold on anything, because anything that isn"t growing is dying. And you can"t become something more without growing.

Growing is risk: the risk that you need to find out that you are not as good (or not as bad) as you thought, pretended, claimed you were. Well... suck it up... but most people can"t and won"t.
