“The power of the universe lies in the power of the brain.”
— Mickie Kent
Life is a process, and it's problems can give you immense wisdom. Many of our biggest problems will give us our greatest gifts, we just need the courage to search for the silver lining in the dark clouds that cross our horizons.
It takes a long journey, involving many personal trials, before you find the secret to true joy in life, but if your internal GPS system - your mind - is in tune with your passions, you can get on route that much quicker. Trusting and allowing your highly tuned intuition to guide you is an amazing aid for you in transforming your life.
Do we feel ourselves deserving of a successful life? If we realise that being successful in life is actually our destiny, and being successful means aligning ourselves with the purpose the universe has for us, we come some way to understanding that we ALL deserve the chance to fulfil the potential we were born with.
Most of us don't have that added bonus of working in sync with ourselves to achieve our goals. Have you ever felt like your inner feelings are holding you back? The issue could be one of what some experts have termed deservability.
Inherently we all have a guiding system, and if you listen to that you will know what your next lesson will be. Trust the process, trust yourself. Trust the process of life as a school. Trust yourself as a good student. The sum of your experiences from the challenges you gave already faced will be your ship to steer you out from troubled waters in the future.
You have to learn how to navigate the waters of life. You have to take the weather into consideration, what navigation equipment you have, what are your resources and finances - to help you serve your purpose in life, whether that be helping people or whatever that they may be.
It requires you to see with brand new vision, to listen with brand new hearing, and to follow your heart not blindly, but consciously. Following the negativity of others will only aid to violate your own internal integrity, and that won't help you transform your life. Self-belief is important, because you must first create/visualise the reality you want in your mind, so the universe can work for you and make it your reality in the physical world.
The system of everything
Experts believe the entire universe is a system. There is a logical system for everything. All things are processes. Working on the process instead of the outcome is key to success. When you discover the system of an area of life, you become enlightened to the way things work in that area. Everything in life has a formula. There is a formula for wealth, health, relationship, self growth, enjoyment and spirituality. When you discover the formula in any area, you can achieve success in that area.
Adherents to the theory that we create our own reality believe that what separates the champion from other winners is his or her dedication to perfection. A clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels at winning with ease. His victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage, because he wins as though there wasn't any fight in the first place. A champion looks to see if he achieved what he wanted in the most efficient and effective manner. The greatest successes are not studied, and that is why most people tend to follow the lesser ways of winning.
If this knowledge was at your fingertips, you could easily become wealthy or even famous. You could easily be a ground-breaking author, teacher, visionary, inventor, royal advisor, and other things. Dozens of new opportunities open up to you because your entire context of knowledge is highly advanced. Your chances of success are multiplied thousands of times over because the power lies within you.
Having knowledge that is ahead of its time is like having knowledge from the future. It is alien - unknown to most people today. Imagine how radically different your life will be with knowledge beyond even the smartest and wisest people of today's society. Like someone from the future, you will see things differently than everyone else. You'll understand things that others cannot explain.
Experts believe that the secret formulas of wealth, health, success, love, happiness and anything else that you want to achieve lies in your very mind. They suggest that when you have knowledge about the higher level and the lower level of reality, you are free to move within and beyond the system.
Instead of creating all kinds of problems and trapping yourself in all sorts of illusions, you can play in whatever area you wish to play and win beyond the usual standards of winning. There is a gleeful kind of feeling you experience when you are enlightened about the world and how you can totally own it.
The quickest path to getting everything you want in life is by finding information that explains how the universe works. Wisdom means solving problems at the roots. It is dealing with causes instead of effects. Lots of people go for lesser solutions in this world to deal with problems.
You can enjoy abundance, perfect health and great happiness in life without going for all those lesser solutions in life. The greatest solution in life is knowledge of how reality works. When you look at reality from a perspective of consciousness and reality creation, you will be able to attain everything you want in the best way.
There are better ways of looking at things. There are better ways of thinking and doing things. The better way of looking at things is to always frame things in a way that is empowering to you. For every success that you see, there is always someone who has achieved more of it in a shorter time and in an easier way. Always choose the better way of things. If you want the best, go straight for the core and the essence. When you do that, your mind, being and actions will be the best.
Look at the bigger picture. There are different levels of wisdom. A wise man can appear foolish when compared with an even wiser man, but seek to learn from all.
Complete truth is the integration of all truth. When you experience conflict of reason, intelligence and wisdom, realise that there are better ways of seeing things. Conflicting truths can exist in harmony when they are viewed as existing on different levels. An enlightened consciousness is inclusive and not exclusive. The more enlightened one is, the more truth about reality they're able to perceive.
To utilise the power of your mind, you need to get to the core and essence of knowledge, integrating it and refining it into better and more simple forms - into a single image of clarity that you can visualise every day.
If you've ever wondered if there's any proof that visualisation really does work, then the wondering and the questioning stops right now. I'm going to share some of the nitty-gritty of what components are needed to achieve the highest level of success with visualisation. Plus, I will share with you exactly what the experts say how universal energy works on your behalf to deliver your deepest desires into your life.
Open your mind to its power
The adherents to this believe that this is a convergence of science and spirituality, where it has been scientifically measured in studies that it is the repetitiveness of visualisation, with the associated emotion that works.
It's like words. On their own, they don't really work, unless there's meaning and emotion behind it - even love is just a word until you find someone that gives it meaning. Without that meaning and emotion, love as a word holds no power. But when they do, words are like bombs.
If it's true from a visualisation perspective that we use the majority of our brain for visual processing, then it also follows that if we want to ingrain an image into our brain, emotionalising it creates an association with the vision. Repeating it will create a neural network, or a software programme of that image.
Creating a software of that image with emotion behind it means we are firing off neurons, the braincells, in the same sequence over and over again - and as we visualise we reduce the threshold of those neurons firing. That's a scientific way of saying the more we do something, the easier it becomes for us to do. And the easier it is for us to do, the more your brain will do it, because it becomes addicted to the emotion of that repetition. It in effect, it will become second nature to you.
So the formula is:
Visualisation + emotion x repetition = manifestation
So, how do experts say the universe conforms to put you into a state of your manifestations, even though you might have no experience of initially what it is like (or to go about) being wealthy, for example?
It's believed that the process highlights our dealings with a highly intelligent, self-aware universe. If you think about the orbits of the planets around the Sun, the relationship between protons, electrons and quarks, everything seems to be working in an order and harmony at a molecular level that we are only on the rim of understanding. We search for answers to the questions about the very fabric of space, with theories attempting to unify the fundamental forces in nature, but we still know very little.
However, manifestation experts say that we live in an intelligent universe that responds to our emotional states, and will move to match and respond to that emotion. If we feel this is all we deserve in life, then that's all the universe will provide for you. Adherents to this believe there are no accidents or coincidences in the incidences that make up our live.
All we see in this physical world of ours is a reflection of what's happening in the brain. The importance of the brain can't be emphasised enough. The human brain is one of the most complex systems in the universe. If you stretched out all of its electrical wiring it would extend from the Earth to the Moon.
To unscramble the brain's tangled web, imagine the brain like a big city. Cities are examples of complex systems with thousands of inhabitants and their social interactions and flow of materials. The brain is like that, millions of neurons, the interactions between these neurons - in a sense the brain is like a city of the mind.
Figuring out how we get from cells and wires to thoughts and memories is one of the greatest challenges known to science. Even though humans have been studying the brain for decades - perhaps centuries - we still don't have a complete map of how its connected or how regions of the brain are connected to one another.
Studies show some regions are more connected than others, and some are perhaps more essential to the brain as whole. Scientists have called these important regions of the brain hubs - focal points of information traffic - like intersections of a large city that helps the traffic flow get through. These hubs are thought to be so essential that and if they become disrupted in any way, then the whole city shuts down. It is this ebb and flow and magnitude of information that scientists believe sets them apart from other regions of the brain.
It's said that if we can work out the brain's architecture, we can figure out what truly makes us who we are. Imagine if we could find a way to upload our brains, digitise the very essence of ourselves so that our minds could go on living long after our flesh had died, that would be a kind of immortality, but it could change the very nature of what it is to be human. In such a scenario would we lose what it is to be human? Poets say the essence of us is in the heart, but scientists say it is in the brain - and if that endures we can endure for eternity.
And in which region does our personality reside to make us who we are? Searching where awareness and conciousness resides in the brain is the holy grail of neuroscience. Some scientists believe the medial parietal cortex (located between the brain's two hemispheres) is the hub or part of the brain which houses the essence of who we are.
The riddle of consciousness has fascinated scientists, especially those looking to lengthen our time span or create a sort of immortality. They believe that discovering the place where our consciousness resides in the brain might reveal the answer to whether one day scientists will find a way for us to download the essence of who we are onto a machine after the body dies.
Professor Stephen Hawking seems to agree with this view. He has said: "I think the brain is like a program in the mind, which is like a computer. So it's theoretically possible to copy the brain on to a computer and so provide a form of life after death." However, imagine all the things that happen in the real world which could not happen in a computer, and which is somehow the essence of what life is all about: for example the conversations we have and all the speech sounds and gestures they produce. Our brains interacting in this embodied manner has many other scientists dubious about claims of downloading conciousness to a hard drive. They believe the brain might be too complex to immortalised in this way.
Some believe it may not be beyond the power of the brain (via future mind technologies) to utilise the technique of extra sensory perception (ESP) to pinpoint crime and ferret out criminals, and that if this could be used on a broad and practical scale it may become a deterrent to anyone contemplating a criminal act. A few decades ago this was taken seriously, with some discussing how the role of a psychic detective could have major consequences for law enforcement in America.
Obviously no force in the world is going to be putting psychics at the heart of their strategy, but there is still growing interest in the idea of mapping future crime trends and even predicting which individuals could become a problem. However, the notion that criminality is innate in people is a worrisome one, with others driving the idea that technology can help cut crime rates via more practical avenues, by designing unstealable objects for example.
When looked at under the microscope of philosophy and science, life looks very complicated to us and indeed it looks like a miracle there is life around us. However, in fact a few simple rules can give rise to complex patterns, which become so complex they give rise to intelligent sentient life. The brain's processing power in this way gives us life - our brain is a million times faster than any computer still around today.
Complex life began from a few simple laws. Some experts give the example of chess, which is a very complex game but governed by a few simple rules. You could say the same about life - even though we have one or two rules, we still get a multitude of different possible behaviours in the universe. Life on this Earth, experts point out, has had 4 billion years to evolve, we are the latest in the long line of species (and we hope or believe we're the last) - but who's to say that artificial intelligent (AI) life (or hybrid AI/human life - think RoboCop) isn't next to appear down the line? Simple artificial intelligence programmes already exist - bots (short for robots) write and edit Wikipedia entries continuously.
However, as the latest technologies are fast becoming part of the staple diet of daily life, we sometimes forget that computers and robots - no matter how advanced - are simply adding machines. That doesn't mean they have creativity, imagination, initiative. It doesn't mean they understand human values or they can make leaps of logic like we can. We still have a long way to go to approximate the real thinking process that works in a human being. There isn't a technology yet invented that is a substitute for human beings talking to human beings and finding common solutions.
And even if the science was available to merge our conciousness from our brain to a computer, some argue there are moral and philosophical questions to answer. How do you slowly bring a person to be a robot? How do you actually take humanity out of someone and how do you programme a brain, and how does that affect an individual turned into (the ideals of the) machine? How does a hybrid robot rediscover its humanity? Will AI have emotions? Or fall in love?
As well as keeping us alive, there is some scientific evidence that suggests the seat of emotion is the human brain, rather than the human heart. For centuries poets have told us that love resides not in the brain, but in the heart, which has reason of which reason knows nothing. But is this a misconception linked right back to Aristotle and beyond, which has survived into our times? Or does the heart and mind work together in a complex partnership?
Although there is science that says the heart has a brain of its own that tells the brain what to do, major scientific belief states that the brain is the hub of emotions, of sexual desires and their energies, and that people fall in love (and in lust) with their brain and not their heart. In effect our brains are our biggest sex organs.
Even though the heart has become a legend in literature when we talk about love, science suggests that the real place this activity takes place is in the brain. When someone upsets us, we say they have broken our heart, but what they have done in reality is broken our brain.
Brainpower is more than just intelligence
There are many researchers who believe that an imbalance in serotonin levels may influence mood in a way that leads to depression. Although the relationship between serotonin and happiness remains unclear, this monoamine neurotransmitter - which helps relay signals from one area of the brain to another - is also believed to be influential on our emotions and the "unbearable pain" we feel when things go bad in love - or in the absence of true love.
Experts claim that individuals who feel emotions more "deeply" - especially heartbreak, or more correctly, "mindbreak" - are susceptible to depression. Consequently, it's thought that antidepressants may actually help soothe the emotions connected with what we've traditionally labelled as heartache to help increase the secretion of serotonin in the brain. In line with this, some say that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) - a non-invasive method to cause depolarisation or hyper-polarisation in the neurons of the brain - might also be beneficial for the chemical imbalances caused by those "pangs of love".
In addition, science says it's not only our brains that break, but its ability to regulate the body, too. It's thought that the effect on the body's organs of adrenaline and noradrenaline - catecholamines that play major roles in regulation of the "inner world" of the body by the brain - are responsible for the physical effects we feel when in love. So it's not just our mood that changes, we go through physical changes, as well. Growth of the eye pupils, sweating, the acceleration of stomach secretions, stomach cramps, hand tremors, changes in voice tone and heart rate acceleration are all said to be due to these neuroamines of the brain.
And do you remember what new love feels like? How your eyes feel as though they've been blown wide open, and you've never truly seen the world before? All those sleepless nights? Well scientists believe the enthusiasm we feel on the threshold of a new romance is thanks to dopamine - a simple organic chemical in the catecholamine family.
Dopamine is a monoamine neurotransmitter that plays a number of important physiological roles in our bodies and which is said to give love its addictive nature. It's believed that dopamine, just as much as serotonin, has a part to play in the (up and down) feelings of love we experience - normally connected to a rise in energy, concentration and joy levels.
Dopamine therefore, as a result of this increase in enthusiasm, will give people on the verge of a new love a few sleepless nights. They will see things in a new light. The sunrise, the rain, snowfall will all take on a new meaning. They'll be positive like they've never been before.
These dopamine receptors are considered so important, that some scientists say they play a large role in male-female relationships. For example, a disruption of the dopamine1 (D1) receptor could be the reason why a man (or woman) fails to remain faithful in a relationship, suggesting that unfaithfulness is a "disease of the brain". It seems that for a happy, trusting, stable (and monogamous) family life having the brain's D1 receptors working properly is paramount.
Moreover, there is evidence to suggest that feelings become easier to control as we age. Some scientists suggest our "love hormones" are most balanced during middle age, which indicates that ties formed at this stage of our lives could be longer-lasting. As the brain's secretion of hormones begins to change with serotonin, dopamine and other catecholamines achieving an equilibrium, the irresponsible ways of stormy youth make way for the more sane, grounded behaviour of advanced age.
D1 (and D2) receptors that regulate loyalty and commitment balance out, and we no longer feel the need to sow our wild oats. Unlike the effect of hormones secreted by the brain as a teenager, emotions become more logical and controlled. We are at the upper level of understanding the views of the opposite sex, being together, the intensity of emotions, our bodily functions and brain capacity.
If we follow the science, therefore, it suggests a strong relationship between the power of emotion, and the chemical balances in the brain, indicating the importance of the visualisation with emotion.
Understanding the systems in our bodies and in the universe ultimately helps us use the system for success in our lives, because the science says that the power of the universe lies in the hub of our brains.
Control your brainpower

Armed with the science and this knowledge, let's look at that visualisation formula again.
Visualisation (of your desires) + emotion x repetition = manifestation (of your desires)
To make visualisation work for you, there are five key components to note.
- Be very clear about what it is you want, and don't want. For instance you visualise the perfect man/woman for you, but make sure you visualise your perfect partner is single and available as well!
- Write them out and arrange them into positive present tense affirmations. The language that you use and the affirmations that you write are very important. Two of the most powerful words in the English language is "I am" - it gives you ownership over your visualisations. Use these two words with your affirmations. Attach emotion to them by using descriptive terms such as "loving", e.g., "I am a loving person and I deserve my true love." It is also important for them to be in the present tense. Don't visualise yourself with your heart's desire in the future, imagine yourself having what you desire NOW.
- Use images to visualise your success. If you're not a visual person it can be hard to visualise the things you want, especially if they've never been in you're experience or you've never actually seen those things in life. So you can use an image you actually have in front of you, to look at it while listening to your affirmations. Use the sense of smell and touch, too. Ladies if you want a man smelling of musk, then bring that scent into your visualisations! It actually gives your brain somewhere to start. It gives you a great starting point for the next level, which is:
- Use positive music. This can be listening to music that takes you back to a time when you where carefree, happy and invokes positive emotions, or music specially composed to uplift you. The music you choose while listening to your affirmations is important. Make sure it is upbeat, and if they have lyrics that they are positive. Soothing music similar to meditation gets your brain into a "wave" that is conducive to learning. In effect, all four steps are getting your brain into an conducive state to be reprogrammed for success.
- Repetition is key. It's important to focus on your goals every day because that kicks in your reticular activating system (RAS). Once you regularly do steps 1-4, this fifth component involving the RAS - which is basically a bundle of tightly knit nerves at the mid core of the brain stem that has many functions in the body - will start to work to specifically to let through information to your concious mind that is of particular interest to you. As the subconscious is inundated daily with information, the RAS decides what should come through to the conscious mind, and by doing all 4 steps, you are programming your subconscious mind to the things which interest to you. The RAS tells your subconscious mind when anything comes up about your goals to get you to recognise the people, resources and opportunities that will help your goals become a reality. Doing it regularly will activate your RAS, which in turn will make you more aware and allow into your concious mind the opportunities as they arise, so that you recognise the people, resources and opportunities as they are presented to you by the universe for your success.
Carrying out steps 1-4 on a regular basis will result in the universe stepping in and presenting the people, resources and opportunity necessary to help you create and make your desires into reality. With these 4 steps you have the perfect formula to create any of your desires into becoming a part of your reality, with the power of your brain.
Like with anything, if you know how to work the system, it will work for you, and not against you.
Yours in love,
