Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation) to the ones paying heed, this is where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and the importance of our attention, why is that? Now \u2018let us remember this again, \u2018What we give our Attention to matters,\u2019 as Our life\u2019s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I bring to your attention an excerpt titled \u2013 Know Thyself <\/em>from a collection of articles titled \u2018The Multiple Nature of Our Minds<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 by Robert Ornstein, PhD<\/a>; David Sobel, MD, MPH<\/a>; and Sally Mallam<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These articles draw our attention to the many facets of our mind. It seems reasonable that we should know our own mind. But what we know is just one small aspect related to the controlling functions of consciousness. We are far less aware of other equally important parts of the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know Thyself<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There exist different centers of mind in the brain and \u201cwe\u201d often don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing until we see what we do. Non-conscious routines lead us\u00a0automatically, and thus unconsciously, along lines of thinking and action\u00a0without our ever directing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u201cspontaneous\u201d act begins before we are aware that we have \u201cdecided\u201d to act. The decision, then, is often not up to \u201cus,\u201d our conscious selves. Rather, we watch a part of our minds begin actions, \u201con their own authority,\u201d and can sometimes veto the orders before they make it out to the muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a system of many small unconscious minds, each with its own program. We are each somewhat like a multiple personality, organized and controlled to a limited extent by the conscious self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
