#71 Everything Is?

I read an interesting quote by author Francis Lucille from a newsletter (The Non-Duality Newsletter – http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDhighlights) today.

According to the writer:

“Words are what we do to keep the mind busy while the transmission happens in the silence.”

And it makes sense, because recent scientific researches have shown us that the human brain sends out electrical impulses (to form actions) even before the intellectual mind decides to do so.

That as we commit to an action, the process actually seems something more like this:

Brain sends nerve impulses for action.

Mind follows up thinking it was the source.

Brain sends nerve impulses for action.

Mind follows up thinking it was the source.

Brain sends nerve impulses for action.

Mind follows up thinking it was the source.

Now the question then becomes – if everything just happens, as is, even despite the control of the mind…

Then what is individual free will really?

I can only smile at the thought.

Because the answer, the real answer in the end, is truly positive & empowering.
