CREATING YOUR FUTURE
Recent brain scan studies seem to prove that free will is an illusion. They show that our thoughts, desires, wants and impulses to act appear to be formed in our brain before we’re consciously aware of having them. (See You Tube video NEUROSCIENCE AND FREE WILL.) http://youtu.be/N6S9OidmNZM
However, this doesn’t mean that we have no will or responsibility. If anything, it means that we need to take greater responsibility for objectively examining our thoughts, feelings and actions, and exercising our will to guide them. Free will may be an illusion, but will is not. And to the extent that we have it, we’ll do well to use it to improve brain functioning and act more wisely.
Psychologists and neuroscientists are ever busy at developing new techniques for helping us with this. Some of these techniques have been offered in my writings and at my weekly Life Mastery Training.
Neuro-technologies are also being developed to improve brain functioning. Military researchers are in the process of developing a ‘thinking cap’ which has already shown an ability to more than double one’s ability to learn a wide range of tasks, such as object recognition, math skills and marksmanship. It also has been found to help produce a confident, calm, quiet inner state of mind, similar to that gained by meditation. Other neuroscientists are said to have developed skull caps that may promote even more extraordinary experiences, such as telepathy, distant seeing, out of body experiences and sensing God’s presence.
Scientifically speaking, we may not have free will. But if we find ourselves utilizing technologies that enhance brain functioning and evolve consciousness, I think we’ll become more able to create the future we want.
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
