(00:11): How do I overcome an extremely logical mindset?
That questions, everything I experience spiritually
(00:20): A okay, so right when I'm reading this question,
I can tell that the person has an identification with the mind and not the entire mind, but
there's a specific identification with the left hemisphere.
That's the logical hemisphere of the brain.
So you've gotta right hemisphere too.
So in this question, I can already feel that there's an identification.
There's a attachment to the left hemisphere, to the logical mind.
And that means that probably when this is happening, if you're feeling that that your
logical mind is kind of has a grip on your life, it means that there's an identification
with it.
Okay.
And what that means is that there's a part of you that, that kind of, that the world
is perceived through this side.
And this left hemisphere is your biggest superpower or your biggest talent.
So there's a, there's a part of your identity.
(01:13): That's attached to the idea of you having
a logical mind.
So at some point in your life, if you have a strong logical mind at some point in your
life, that logical mind was in command in control.
And so now if you're having a spiritual awakening now, basically the left hemisphere, the control,
the logical aspect of, of the, the mind, it needs to release control, because when you're
having a spiritual awakening, you really experience so much more than the left hemisphere can
lane and can't fathom.
And so the left hemisphere starts releasing control over your life.
But in this question, I can still perceive that there's some identification with the
mind.
So what I like to do when working with the, with a really strong left hemisphere, this
happens to so many of us when we're having a spiritual awakening, the left hemisphere
is sometimes hard for it to quiet it down because it's been in control and in command
of our lives throughout our whole lives.
(02:07): And then just suddenly we have a spiritual
awakening and we can't expect the left hemisphere to just be like, okay, I'm gonna release control.
It needs a little bit of a little bit of time and patience.
One of my favorite ways to kind of just overcome, you don't even need to overcome.
I don't even like to use the word or come, but one of the ways in which to release the
logical mind, I like that word a little bit more release the logical mind, a great way
of doing that is through breath, through breath.
And I like to use mantras or affirmation.
So the more that you breathe and you use deep breaths to kind of relax your system, the
more you mind starts to relax, and you can use mantras paired with your breathing.
So you can say things like I'm an eternal soul.
(02:53): I'm much more than my brain.
You can even say I have a right hemisphere too, not just a left hemisphere.
And my right hemisphere of, of my brain is really powerful also.
And it sees life in a different way than the left one.
So these mantras that I'm saying, they're, they're expansive mantras.
They're getting your identification out of just the logical left brain.
And they're bringing you into more of an expansive eight of awareness breath works really, really
well to do this affirmations work really, really well.
And then at the end of the day, there's another little technique that I love using when working
with the mind and the technique is, so what I like to call this technique, the, so what
technique and that is instead of stressing out that your mind is constantly questioning
everything spirit spiritually.
So you go through something spiritual and your logical mind questions.
(03:42): It instead of getting irritated or getting
upset, just say to yourself, so what, so what if my mind questions?
So what if I go through as something spiritual and my mind starts going, oh, but what about
this?
And what about that?
Who cares?
You see the moment that you step back from identification, logical mind, it could still
chitter chatter and it probably will.
It's it's, you know, and majority of us, our mind just keeps going on going on, going on.
It's the nature of the mind to think, but I don't have to be identified with it so I
could take a nice step back.
I could take a nice deep breath.
And even if my left brain continues to chitter chatter, when I'm going through my spiritual
awakening, I'm no longer were identified with it.
So I just observe the chitter chatter.
I observe the questions that my mind is, is kind of questioning.
(04:27): I observe those questions and I just let them
go.
I just let them go.
Uh, one of my favorite spiritual teachers, ti Notah, he has a great technique that I
love.
And it's when you're doing meditation.
And a thought comes up, visualize that thought, like cloud, like a cloud that passes by in
the big blue sky.
And so one cloud passes by maybe one day, it's a storm, maybe the next day, it's a tornado.
Maybe the next day.
It's a nice fluffy white cloud, regardless of what cloud it is.
You're just going to observe it pass by and you can use the same T with their, with a
strong logical mind when your logical mind questions, you just observe and let it go.
If it questions again, you observe and let it go.
And this takes a little bit of practice, but the more that you step back from the logical
mind, the more you start to connect with your right hemisphere, which sees the world completely
in a completely different way.
And the you start to expand your awareness pretty soon.
Your logical mind will come in handy as a tool, as a kind of an ally in your spiritual
awakening, and it'll stop sabotaging your spiritual awakening.
I hope this helps.
