WEEK THREE

Nervous System and the Three Brains - (2849)

​

Introduction

​

The idea of this post is to marry what Science has to say about the nervous system with what Gnosis teaches.

 

Function of the Nervous System

​

Science says that the function of the nervous system in us, is to provide a means by which the various parts of the body are connected to the brain. Using the nerves which make up the nervous system the brain can send impulses (of a electrochemical nature) to the various parts of the body and receive signals from the body so to initiate new movements or processes.

​

In Gnosis, the nervous system is an energy circuit, it is the means by which energy flows through our body to its various parts (organs, ).

 

The prana that our body receives moves through (not exclusively though) the channels of the nervous system. Also, the sexual energy that we transmute impresses our nervous system and moves though it.

 

It is also the means by which the Essence, then later the Human soul, and a little later after that, Atman - the Being within us controls the human machine.

 

The Essence can use the nervous system, and as we all well know, the various "I's" within us use and impact our nervous system to use and affect the body.

 

Three Brains

​

The three brains of our human machine are very intimately related with our nervous system.

Intellectual Brain and the Central Nervous System

​

I think that it is logical to say that the Central Nervous System is more related to the intellectual brain than the other three brains. This is because the central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord.

 

It has also been said that the central nervous system is the Tree of Life within us.

 

Motor, Instinctive and Sexual Brain and the Autonomic Nervous System

​

I think that it is logical to say that the motor, instinctive and sexual centres are related to the Autonomic Nervous System more than any other nervous system. 

 

It is also important to say that these nervous systems are all related and connected. Obviously, the motor and sexual centres work in relation to the intellectual brain and so the central nervous system has to connect to the autonomic nervous system to initiate certain processes in those two centres (motor and sexual). 

 

It also has been said that the motor, instinctive and sexual centres are the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil within us. 

 

The Autonomic Nervous System has much to do also with our emotional centre. As it is plays a critical role in determining certain emotional states within us.

​

Conclusion

​

The nervous system within us is intimately related to our three brains. so related that we can say that each each brain is essentially a nervous system.

 

As the brain in our head controls/regulates everything in the body, all the nervous systems are related to our physical brain. Therefore our three brains are related to each other through our physical brain. Therefore proving the fact that the intellectual centre influences all the centres. Thus the formidable law within us of: first - thinking, second - feeling and third - acting.

 

We have the two trees of the garden of Eden within us here and now, in the way of our central nervous system (Tree of Life) and our Autonomic Nervous System (Tree of the Science of Good and Evil).

Our Nervous System - (2796)

​

The Nervous System is a spiritual and energy bridge into realms of our Inner Constitution.

​

Our nervous system actually has a strong relationship with our inner esoteric realms of consciousness.

Through our nervous system the ego and the essence (therefore the inner Being) have a bridge into our physiology.

In this post I would like to outline how important a role our nervous system plays in our relationship with our essence (psychology) and our esoteric work (spiritual transformation).

In fact our nervous system is something very esoteric all by itself. This is The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil, referred to in the Bible. 

​

Nervous System According to Modern Science

​

Modern science tells us that all invertebrates have a nervous system. In the nervous system that an invertebrate has there are two main parts. Our nervous system, science says has, also these two main parts.

These two main parts are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



From the Peripheral nervous system stems two other well known nervous systems which are the Autonomic and Somatic nervous systems.

From the Autonomic nervous system stem we get the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems.


These two nervous systems plus the central nervous systems are the ones which are very interesting to us in our esoteric work, because energy moves through these channels in each and every moment of life.

These teachings given to us by our Innermost are for the liberation of the human soul [Motho, Essence]. 

Thus, these teachings cannot be understood or psychologically digested by any logic or  reason of  ego, mind, and personality.

Logic and reason are equal to psychological hypnosis.

Inside every living thing there is something called "The Being". 

In modern Christian mythology "The Being" is referred to as "The Father". 

"The Father" is the seminal point of every Creation and the very mystery of regeneration. 

"The Father" inside every living thing is truly "The Being", which, for all lifetimes is always in secret - - and is the secret of Gnosis.

​

The purpose of our spiritual work is to dissolve the very mind we use to study the esoteric nature of the work. 

By learning to observe the  emptiness of breath, we become skillful in comprehending the emptiness of mind itself - - and thus, we are able to dissolve every form in which mind and sensation appears to us as the  Essence of Modimo (Unkulunkulu).

"Gnosis is the esoteric language of our Being! It is a foundation for the clear perception of Reality that a finger cannot point to, or mouth transfer to anyone without the instrument of meditation. A true gnostic is someone who has mastered the art of meditation for himself. A true gnostic is someone who knows how to live with a mind (manas) without habits."

(Only in a mind (manas) without habits can Truth be known from moment-to-moment.)

These teachings given to us by testimony of Modimo (our individual Innermost) are for the esoteric benefit and liberation of the Human Soul [Motho,  Umuntu, the Essence]. 

​

Thus, these teachings cannot be understood with intellectual reason, nor can they be digested by logic of our subjective ego, mind, and personality. 

​

Logic and intellectual reasoning are tantamount to psychological hypnosis for the soul.

Everything comes from the Creator, every atom of the cosmos is synthesized inside the bosom of the Creator - - and in modern Christian mythology the Creator Being is referred to as "The Father". 

​

"The Father" is a seminal point from which all created things permeate, He is the very mystery of regeneration. 

​

"The Father", inside every living thing, is truly our inward dweller; which, for all our lifetimes is always in secret - - and is the authentic internal goal of Gnosis itself.

The purpose of our spiritual work is to dissolve karmic imbalances caused by our basic mind from moment-to-moment. We want to know how to perceive reality beyond duality and relativity.  

​

By learning to observe the  emptiness of breath for example, we become skillful in comprehending "Emptiness of Form" - - and thus, in the same skillful manner, are able to dissolve the grasping mind in us.

 

In that way, our Interior mind is fully liberated from every "Form of Emptiness" upon which sensations appear to be real in the intermediate state.
