Namaste All.
I was listening to Deepak Chopra the other day when he was discussing the difference between our brain and our mind. He gave the analogy that our brain is the hardware but our mind is the software. What does that mean. It means that our brain is simply a tool that transmits data or information. Whereas, your mind is the operating system that tells your brain how to interpret the data.
That is a key distinction for us to understand as the owners and operators of these spiritual computers known as our bodies. We need to know how to produce the best output. In other words, we have to understand how to manifest that which is for our highest and greatest good.
We all know who Bill Gates is. He is the founder of Microsoft and considered one of the richest, if not the richest man in the world. Although many people may say that he invented the computer, this is not true. Bill Gates revolutionized the computer with the most successful operating system in the world. Called windows.
Today I will discuss becoming your own Spiritual Bill Gates to design the best operating system for you. There are three components to consider:
Data (the information) – This consists of the input from all your senses taste, touch, sight sound, and smell. The things that we experience, sense, even the emotions we have.
Brain (the hardware) – This is the tool. Its purpose is to transmit the data or information with its different parts, the four lobes, the two hemispheres, the neurons and synapse, etc. These are the mechanics. Like the mouse, keyboard, hard drive, motherboard etc.
Mind (the Software) – it tells the hardware how to interpret the data that it is receiving. This is the part of the system that we have to master in order to become our own Spiritual Bill Gates. We have to design the best operating system for our brain. How do we do that? We need to develop the code that will help the brain best interpret the data or information that it is transmitting. That means understanding the spiritual laws that govern us, so that we can best use our imagination and understanding to interpret the data.
For example, every piece of data that your brain transmits and interprets can be filtered through a fear-based operating system. So that the thoughts and feelings you have about every situation can be seen from the point of view of a victim, where you are constantly being wronged, nobody likes, you are not worthy. Your understanding of events become warped. You begin to imagine that everything is happening to you. What kind of results or output do you think will manifest in your life? Instances of victimization and abuse. Feelings of being overwhelmed and underappreciated. You feel like you have no control and you end up taking no responsibility for anything. That nothing that is for your highest and greatest good. And that, you will get nothing that you really desire.
Unfortunately, that type of programming will produce exactly those types of experiences. Like attracts like. Or in computer terms: IF THIS THEN THAT.
But you have given the power of choice. You can choose which operating system to install. Even if you have used the same operating system for the majority of your life, you have the ability to change it. You can be like Microsoft. After a while, an operating system becomes obsolete. They encourage you to change and upgrade to newer and better operating system. And at the end of its life cycle they will no longer support or put out any fixes for that obsolete system.
That is the same thing you must learn to do. When your operating system becomes obsolete (error thinking, limiting beliefs, no longer serves you) you must update or install a new one. And if you install an operating system based on love, compassion, kindness, gratitude, and oneness. Then, your brain will interpret the exact same data in an entirely different way. The thoughts and feelings that we have about each situation will be an opportunity for growth, a lesson to be learned, an experience to be had. Then, you begin to imagine that everything is happening for you. Guess what kind of output you will get with that operating system. That everything is in Divine order and is happening for your highest and greatest good.
You must also do software updates and maintenance on your computer on a regular basis. That is your prayer and meditation. It makes sure that everything running smoothly and helps with those shift that expands and increases our consciousness and understanding.
Even with the best operating system and maintenance schedule malware, or a virus might get introduced into your system. That is when you use your antivirus software…your affirmations and denials to cleanse the malicious software that might get introduced into the system.
Don’t let anyone else design and input and operating system into your computer. Be like Bill Gates and become the Chief Software Developer for your life that will help you to call forth and manifest the desires of your heart.
Today’s affirmations is:
“I AM the Chief Software Developer of My Life, and I Manifest all for My Highest and Greatest Good.”
