The Gateway to Heaven on Earth
Exists in Your Mind
By Dr.
Michael Cotton
Lately I have been thinking
about ‘heaven on earth’ and I am wondering how many of us really truly believe
this to be a possibility. We say things like, “we want to transform,” and “the
world can become a place of joy and abundance and possibility for all”…. But do
we believe it? Do we truly believe it? What if it
were true? What would we do then? What if…
The demanding and complex
modern world we live in has exceeded the capacity of our lower primitive
brain’s processing system. The result to this
overload is quite naturally increased stress, anxiety, foreboding and apathy in
our daily lives.
Researchers tell us that the
stress will kill us and we must change our habits or die. New-age gurus tell us
to change our thoughts and we be fulfilled. Good information, except it’s not working. A recent Harris Poll found that two thirds
of American adults are not very happy. This is tragic.
It’s tragic in light of
modern neuroscience. You and I (and all of humanity) have brain structures, referred to by esteemed
brain researcher Dr. Paul McLean as ‘angel lobes.’ The name was given to this newly-evolved area of our brain,
due to the association in these brain structures with higher consciousness,
deeper meaning in life, joy, spiritual connection and purpose. When engaged and
energized these dormant new brain areas lead to a profoundly-enhanced way to
experience the world. We, modern humans, have a brain designed for
transcendence, joy and meaning and yet, we aren’t even happy…. what is wrong
here?
Alexandrian
philosopher, Plotinus stated; “mankind
is poised midway between the gods and the beast.” I
think that’s right and I think modern
neuroscience confirms it. The lower survival-based brain (having evolved at a
time when the environment was predator-rich) is primitive and outmoded but is
still the major influence on the experience and direction of our lives. Fear-based lower brain mechanisms
arrest our forward momentum, cycling us back into
a life of familiar habits (even if they are negative) because
to the lower brain ‘sameness equals safety.’ In our 21st century lives these
primitive lower brain survival mechanisms are at
war with higher brain growth and evolution. The higher brain wants to change and grow, but below our conscious awareness the old lower brain says “oh no you don’t, change
is scary, let’s stay the same.”
We are indeed ‘poised
midway between the gods and the beast,’ midway between the higher and lower brain.
Stuck. We see glimpses of our transcendence and yet are pulled back down into old familiar patterns.
We are living from a state of fear, sameness,
stress, anxiety and apathy, instead of joy, purpose, passion and meaning.
Enough is enough. Isn’t it time we bring our
awareness to this uniquely human predicament and take up a
path that awakens our (dormant) higher brain?
Imagine a world where the
highest part of our brain was awakened in all of
humanity and we brought that empowered
state to all areas of life. Could we create
heaven on earth? If enough of us committed to this shift from the lower
stress brain to the higher enlightened brain, not only would our own lives
transform, but the ultimate result could
only be a beautiful new world for all of us. I am on fire with this
possibility! Will you join me?
The
Higher Brain Living® system is one such path to
individual and collective transformation. HBL is designed to promote a gentle
surge of energy into the latent potential of our
higher brain and provide a revolutionary new way to bring
that empowered higher brain state to all areas of our lives.
