Irony of cognition As long as our beliefs are taking us through We are comfortable But if our beliefs, blur our vision We are confounded We become guarded And want to protect our opinions Even if they are erring In fact we are most hostile When we are aware deep within How wrong we actually are !
Rather than allowing ourselves to evolve We step in our own way of growth Becoming mental contortionists Twisting and turning With the assumptions & notions of truth Until we find an angle that upholds Our current views.
Our beliefs can be our strength as much as our weaknesses. In allowing ourselves to accept something new or different to what we are used to or expect, we begin to open up our minds and hearts.
Think about your own beliefs, are there moments where you were challenged by your own beliefs,
Were there times when you feel that some of your own beliefs need a thinkover?
Often we assume we are totally in the know and believe it to be so like a frog in the well.
Yet the truth shows up differently from these illusions we live in, and then we realize how far away from the truth we actually are!
Light a lamp of hope Be an illuminator of hearts Be led by the pull of passion Envisage possibilities in faith Envision the pathway beyond In collaboration and connection
Your energy is expansive Sense the synergies Allow yourself to explore possibilities The expansiveness of the spirit within Light the pathway for others to follow.
Peace is a state of being More than just a state of mind Peace needs consistent practice You have to nurture your heart Towards a state of peaceful being
The mind wanders in a million ways The heart flutters at a moment’s notice Such is the way of life and living So let your dancing heart & mind Find their way towards coexistence Acknowledging each of their diverse states.
Let their potential converge to strengthen Let the sense of peace be understood well Until peace becomes of a way of life. Care to protect your peace.
Thanking the past for the precious lessons of life and lets emerge as wiser and brighter and stronger than ever before while embracing the present in conscious awareness !🙏
An interesting read today definitely worth a share!
Please take time to read the following article:
THE BRAIN OF AN ELDERLY PERSON.
The director of the George Washington University College of Medicine argues that the brain of an elderly person is much more plastic than is commonly believed. At this age, the interaction of the right and left hemispheres of the brain becomes harmonious, which expands our creative possibilities. That is why among people over 60 you can find many personalities who have just started their creative activities.
Of course, the brain is no longer as fast as it was in youth. However, it wins in flexibility. That is why, with age, we are more likely to make the right decisions and are less exposed to negative emotions. The peak of human intellectual activity occurs at about 70 years old, when the brain begins to work at full strength.
Over time, the amount of myelin in the brain increases, a substance that facilitates the rapid passage of signals between neurons. Due to this, intellectual abilities are increased by 300% compared to the average.
And the peak of active production of this substance falls on 60-80 years of age. Also interesting is the fact that after 60 years, a person can use 2 hemispheres at the same time. This allows you to solve much more complex problems.
Professor Monchi Uri from the University of Montreal believes that the brain of an elderly person chooses the least energy-intensive path, cutting unnecessary and leaving only the right options for solving the problem. A study was conducted in which different age groups took part. Young people were confused a lot when passing the tests, while those over 60 made the right decisions.
Now let’s look at the features of the brain at the age of 60-80. They are really rosy.
FEATURES OF THE BRAIN OF AN ELDERLY PERSON.
The neurons of the brain do not die off, as everyone around them says. Connections between them simply disappear if a person does not engage in mental work.
Absent-mindedness and forgetfulness appear due to an overabundance of information. Therefore, you do not need to focus your whole life on unnecessary trifles.
Beginning at the age of 60, a person, when making decisions, uses not one hemisphere at the same time, like young people, but both.
Conclusion: if a person leads a healthy lifestyle, moves, has a feasible physical activity and has full mental activity, intellectual abilities DO NOT decrease with age, but only GROW, reaching a peak by the age of 80-90 years. So don’t be afraid of old age. Strive to develop intellectually. Learn new crafts, make music, learn to play musical instruments, paint pictures! Dance! Take an interest in life, meet and communicate with friends, make plans for the future, travel as best you can. Don’t forget to go to shops, cafes, concerts. Do not lock yourself alone – it is destructive for any person. Live with the thought: all the good things are still ahead of me!
👀 Information!
A large study in the United States found that:
▪The most productive age of a person is from 60 to 70 years; ▪ The 2nd most productive human stage is the age from 70 to 80 years old; ▪ 3rd most productive stage – 50 and 60 years old. ▪ Before that, the person has not yet reached his peak. ▪The average age of the Nobel Prize laureates is 62; ▪The average age of the presidents of the 100 largest companies in the world is 63 years; ▪The average age of pastors in the 100 largest churches in the United States is 71; ▪The average age of dads is 76 years. ▪ This confirms that a person’s best and most productive years are between 60 and 80 years of age. ▪This study was published by a team of doctors and psychologists in the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE. ▪They found that at 60 you reach the peak of your emotional and mental potential, and this continues until you are 80. ▪ Therefore, if you are 60, 70 or 80 years old, you are at the best level of your life.
