Interview with my brain

 


Me: Well … that’s interesting … I’m talking to my brain.

Brain: I would prefer it if you did not call me “my brain”.

Me: What would you like me to call you?

Brain: I am your consciousness.

Me: Hein?

Brain: Your consciousness … you’ve heard the saying to be conscious is to be aware that you exist. Is a dog or cat aware that he exists? Does he know he is a dog? Or does he act through instincts? You are aware you exist … you’re conscious. If you prefer you can call me the soul! That’s what most people choose to call their inner self.

Me: Wow … this is getting complicated.

Soul: It isn’t. Let’s look at it another way. Imagine we have a car. It goes forwards, backwards, left and right, slow or fast. It doesn’t do this by itself. The driver inside it makes it move or stop.

The car is your body, and the driver inside it is me … your soul. The brain is merely the engine of the car. It’s an organ which receives and sends information to the other organs or components such as the heart, liver, kidneys, ears and eyes and so on. Just like the engine of the car receives information from the steering wheel, the driving pedal and the brakes and sends it to the wheels.

The soul is the driver, the body is the car, and the brain and other organs are just components.

Me: Wow once again … I never thought of it that way.

Soul: I was put in the car … your body … the moment you were created. When you were born. I accumulate knowledge over the years based on the surroundings and environment I am in, the love and care I receive from other souls, my up-bringing, my education and lots of other factors. And with all this information I am free to steer the body anyway I like … with me in it of course.

Me: Free to steer the body … I never thought of it that way.

Soul: Yes … the soul is the main driver and is responsible for all actions taken throughout the journey. Whether to go left or right, to do good or bad and so on. I am influenced by many factors as I’ve explained but the final decision and responsibility for the journey is mine.

Me: You mean up-bringing, education and all these things!

Soul: That’s not all … I am also influenced by a Higher Being … my Creator … mostly known as God. He advises me just as a driver would have a passenger next to him showing him the way. The driver is free to accept the advice or go his own way … perhaps influenced by … shall we say … other not so good advice!

Me: Wow once more … for the third time.

Soul: And as the journey goes on … over the years the car gets worn out and tired, perhaps damaged along the way, until the time comes when it can go on no more. That’s when it’s time for me to get out and go to meet my Creator.

Me: Why?

Soul: To tell Him how I got on with my journey. And depending on that He will hopefully give me a prize!

  2. Wow ... for the 4th time!
    Methinks I'll never refer to it as 'my brain' ever again.

    1. Mevely, I firmly believe it is not our brain which controls our behaviour. The brain is a machine, like the other organs of the body. It retains information, (memory), it reacts to other organs, (pain, stimulus etc), but it is the SOUL that controls our behaviour. It is the soul that makes us do good or bad in life. The soul is us. We are a soul. Our bodies are only a casing in which the soul resides when in this world. It then moves on to a spiritual world.

      God bless you always.

  7. I enjoyed that. It does bring up a lot of thoughts about ourselves. I think I agree with your conversation. I'm afraid to do that. I can confuse myownself....
    Love it.
    Sherry & jack confused but KNOW our destination.. Whoever is driving the car (us)!

    1. Thank you Jack and Sherry. We are all souls inhabiting a body - temporarily - until we reach our destination.

      God bless always.

  9. Personally I like brains that are on the quieter side and keep to themselves. Makes the day go by faster. ;)

  10. I think your brain has things a little confused, saying he was put into your body from the very beginning. I have a book that says at three weeks after conception, the human embryo is 2mm long and the heart begins to beat. This is LONG before the brain develops. Which doesn't mean the brain is not the soul, just that he wasn't there first.
