What does it mean to use your “whole brain”? The whole brain is used with the acknowledgement of self (as identified in Perceptions) and the collection of knowledge, experience and external guidance.

Knowledge is described as educational information, intellect and wisdom.

Experience is an external stimuli that either validates or challenges an individual’s perceived knowledge.

External guidance includes various moving pieces such as religious, spiritual and internal and external guides that cannot be agreed on or proven in totality. God or angelic communication, divine downloads as it shows up in intuitive and prophets, spirits and energies not of this earth, your mother or friend telling you advice or an indescribable feeling of right or wrong within your body.

So using your whole brain, you intuit an accurate perception, based on who you are and the information you’re receiving, somatically, emotionally and logically.

Let’s move on.

Once you’ve recognized how and when to utilize your whole brain for your best interest, we talk about experiencing unbiased perception. Working on our post about detached reception of reality, we move in our question.

How do you prepare for a space you’ve never been?

The answer? You don't.

Instead you release nearly everything you THINK you know about the situation, the needs you’ll need, and the person you’ll have to be and instead, you prepare yourself for yourself instead of the change.

What do I mean by that?

I mean that radical self awareness is the only logical answer. There is no way to be prepared for external circumstances but instead internal ones. What do you do when a boundary is crossed, how do you handle conflict, at what point do you seek help, how do you process information, do you seek support from earthly things or spiritual as well?

Know yourself.

Then, we tap into this idea that “If you could go back to your childhood and still have the wisdom you have now at your age, would you do anything differently?”

In new areas, new environments, with new company, these are all opportunities to tap into our infancy, our ignorance of our surroundings. To have the wisdom and still be completely new to the world we’re seeing. To not know how things work and what dangers might lie ahead.

To know yourself and use that wisdom to best set yourself forward is the only answer.

To know that fire is hot and you don’t like being burned because it’s painful and you don’t like pain. To know that you value solitude daily so when you have children, you have to make the space for you to have that solitude safely. To know you are better at leading then following so you need to work in leadership roles. To know you’re non-confrontational so being in large cities that often have protests and riots isn’t the best place to seek housing.

In summary, knowing yourself, with a total awareness, and instead of denying your lack of preparedness, embody it. Be unprepared, be new, like an infant, see things for the first time.

Move forward intentionally and instinctually.

Until next time,

Honestly Ayala
