Think!
“People are the enemy of what they fear.”
Think: Minds not Brains
How many times did you hear or read this global proverb? It is rooted deeply in many cultures in one way or another however my very simple plus fundamental question: why do not they try to know?
Minds not Brains
I am aware that we are not cats – even if I’m a human cat myself – thus not merely we have brains but mainly we have minds that lead to our human intellect when we think in a rational way. This is not a new discovery yet it seems that majority have tuned their minds to receive without thinking about what is being received just because whoever told them so about whatever!
Blah, Blah, and Blah! Isn’t it this the golden gate and stairway for creating misconceptions about subjects, situations, other people and then transforming them into the stereotypes? I do believe so.
In a nutshell: if reading is the first step on the thousand-miles way you cruise towards enlightenment then thinking is the transportation for reaching such destination. C’mon! Everybody has his (and here) own beautiful mind not only brain, hence it is your responsibility to use it for rendering your own perspective!

There’s a book also entitled “Think!” that was written to primarily oppose Gladwell’s book “Blink.” Riding on a ‘think’ train definitely is exhilarating! Great thoughts you have here

@faye: Thanks a lot for telling about the book and for stopping by here!

That is definetly true, as if we think we are scared we become scared, if we think we’ll fall, we’ll fall and so on… It’s the workings of the human mind, and of ‘being’ in it. I am sure those who are ready, will figure out their own path soon enough. (Figuring out why they are scared and where it originates from, alongside the influences they come in close contact with along the way, along many other mysterious they are yet to find about themselfs.) Such is joy, in who we are. May I ask why you feel you are a cat? I have been told I am an animal many times, as I have animal instincts, habits and a connection with all animals and nature, since rejoining earth.

That’s the point. People are used to the ‘common things’ in their life and always affraid any kind of change. If you take a look over the human history, you shall find this simple truth shinning. Only who don’t process things according to the main stream are capable of doing the change they need. Of course it’s not that easy because we are living in a context where many factors are implemented however it’s not impossible.
As for your question: Cats are unique creatures that prefer to be free. I don’t know about the animal instincts but rather think we have human ones that are more complicated than animals simply because they have brains and we have minds. All creatures but man have brains, only man has mind to use it.

Hello again Hicham,
It is nice to interact with you in this medium.
People find their way, if they are ready and want to and if they are not, then we can’t do anything about that, as it is their life and their choices. Force and aggravation over it doesn’t help. What does, is to let people go and let them be free in their own devices. Sometimes it helps to point people in that direction, but only when they are ready for it, as if you push something on someone, it will fall the hardest on you in the end. Though one day they may thank you for it, but you may not be around them then. So in a way you feel free too? All animals are free in nature. I don’t get human instincts anymore. I don’t think I ever did get them to begin with. I have always followed through each moment as it is, not so much with instict, but just flow of being. Just like a waterfall would probably be the best connotation for it. Animal instincts I do receive. Not everything is set in stone with brains and mind. Putting aside either, you find peace of being – our essence for being here. The energy that we is always there, was strongest when we were babies and children, and still carry it to this day, but perhaps not as powerful as when we were as children, as many of us become very inbalanced over the years and loose the real sense of what we are – rather than who, which is only mind or brains. I hope this helps you in some way. I always share wisdom in truth, from light as it flows. (Imagine the waterfall)

Hello Ana,
I agree with you. We can’t force people to do anything because forcing means they do it because they fear not because they understand, the two aspects are totally different. I will manage to check your post regarding the natural instincts for sure.

If you’d like to find out more about my natural instincts, feel free to visit a post I created in regards to my channeling encounters, in which animals are present. For direction, it can be found at:
