My Brain Goes Nuts Or Am I Confused ?

These are confusing times indeed. Confusion is in air as if it is something contagious. But what make us all confused? We, who have lived most of our lives with a clear analytical approach on every aspect of subject under the sun, we who work out various permutation and combination and predict the trends in every area of our lives! Its not about us and our capabilities anymore. We are zapped out of our wits.
The weather,economics,the politics or the job scenario nothing is as it used to be. These are job freezes, dehiring, salary cuts, bonus freezes, cost cutting and resultant insecurities situations. One thing follows another and Domino effect gather momentum. But if you have read the Chaos Theory, you would know that confusion can be very deceptive. Out of confusion great creativeness takes birth, which brings out claritywe are looking for. It is clarity to move forward and take the next step.
But what does this confusion does? To my understanding it hampers our habitual way of thinking, which i think is a blessing in disguise since our habitual thoughts tends to block our wisdom. It is like when our brain can't figure something out,It Goes Nuts.
We have been programmed to think that our brain must figure out everythin. After that is its job,isn't it? To understand things. So when brain stops doing its job, we kind of get stalled. If we stay in the flow and stop fighting or resisting this stall, we can easily make the transistion from brain based intellectual logic to deeper soul wisdom.
Like meditation, a place where you don't think, you just let the thought comes and go like drifting clouds in vast blue sky. In this non-thinking place you connect with wisdom within. Yes, a good example can be deep connection between breath and thought.Try holding your breath for a while, observe your thought while holding your breath. Are you surprised to note that you can't think while you hold your breath?
So, if you wish to derive banefits from this confusion, learn to practice the art of non-thought. Get rid of you addiction to words. Notice your feeling of confusion and instead of struggling to find an answer to this confusion, just accept it. Let it be. Don't analyse it.Breathe and feel..............don't think. Welcome confusion and uncertainity. Let go our restrictive way of life. Discover the truth beyond the prevailing circumstances and Expect Success.

Special Note- This column does not condemn thinking per se. It certainly has its place. But is it the only tool we have? It is like a tailor using only a pair of scissors or a carpenter using only a hammer. They will be able to do some task but all their abilities won't be put to use. The same thing applies to thinking. We have many other facilities besides our thoughts. Let us put them to use now. In 17th century Rene Descartes profoundly proclaimed, " I think therefore I am". We never questioned this proclaimation. We resonated with it. But now is the time to question it. Because as i mentioned it time now is changing.
