My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists" ~ Nikola Tesla ​Nikola Tesla, one of history's most brilliant inventors, saw his mind as more than just a thinking machine. He saw it as a receiver, an antenna picking up signals from a universal source. This wasn't just a quirky saying; it was how he genuinely felt his groundbreaking ideas came to him. He wasn't just inventing things; he was discovering them, pulling them out of a vast, unseen ocean of information. ​This idea of a universal "core" of knowledge sounds a lot like what philosophers call non-duality. Non-duality, or "not-two," is the idea that everything is fundamentally connected. There's no real separation between you and the universe, or between your mind and the source of your thoughts. Our individual minds are just small parts of a single, unified consciousness. ​Beyond the Light Bulb Moment ​We often think of creative breakthroughs as a sudden flash of brilliance, a "light bulb moment." But Tesla's quote suggests something deeper. He felt a direct connection to a source of pure knowledge, a wellspring of ideas that wasn't limited by his individual experience. He would get vivid visions and insights that seemed to come from outside himself, which he would then work to bring into reality. ​This isn't a new concept. Many great thinkers, artists, and innovators throughout history have described similar experiences. They've spoken of feeling like a conduit for a higher power or a universal creative force. Tesla simply put it into a framework that blended his scientific mind with a spiritual understanding of the universe. ​The Science of Oneness ​Tesla even hinted that future science would explore these non-physical connections. In fact, his fascination with these ideas was sparked after he met the Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda. He was so impressed by Vivekananda's explanation of Advaita Vedanta, a school of thought centered on the concept of a single, non-dual reality, that he began using Sanskrit terms like Akasha and Prana in his own work. He believed that if science could ever truly study these non-physical phenomena, we'd make more progress in a decade than in all the centuries before.

If I asked you to think of a thought, any thought, do you struggle to think of one?? Most people do. Try it. This is simply because you are not your thoughts! They come and go. So we must observe them come and go like the weather.

Here is a practice that I do regularly. It's very calming and makes you feel great afterwards. Here is the science and technique of this wonderful practice. Heart Brain Harmonisation: what is it? We are constantly told the analogy “To speak from the heart,” but we never really meant this in a literal sense, but truthfully and honestly. Today, scientists know that this is actually literal. In 1991, a French scientist named Armour (Karmic Destiny or what!) found 40,000 specialised cells (called sensory neurites) concentrated in a small area of the heart. These cells form a neural network that thinks, feels, and remembers independently from the cranial brain! This communication between the heart and brain is a dynamic, ongoing, two-way dialogue, with both organs influencing each other in ways that significantly affect our performance and how we perceive and react to the world. (Heart and Brain Harmonisation) Science is only starting to recognise the potential for healing trauma, not just the traumatic memory in the brain, but healing the memory in the heart. There are approx 5000 heart transplants a year around the world, and there have been many cases where a heart recipient begins to assume the donor’s characteristics; this is more evidence of heart memory. In society, we are conditioned to start thinking with our brains from a very young age, and so we often discount the intuition from our hearts. In contrast, some indigenous cultures, such as the Kogi in South America, teach children from the heart, allowing them to develop excellent intuitive skills from a very young age. Neither of these ways is inherently good or bad, but rather two very different ways of embracing the potential that has been with us since the beginning of human existence. When we harmonise these two neural networks, we gain access to super information processing and obtain superhuman abilities; it opens the door as a hotline to the subconscious. Heart and Brain Harmonisation can be a powerful practice.

I find Rubert Spira such a good teacher. Here he gives a good analogy to explains the thinking mind process. Namaste 🙏
