I received information on the function of the mind about 2-3 years ago through some automatic writing I was doing at the time, and I have decided to post part of that writing.  I don't think I've shared this information with anyone up until now, because at that time I didn't know where the information was "coming from".  But I've grown to understand that it's simply the flow of universal information that came through while in states of non-resistence. It may or may not be "true", so accept only what resonates with you.

Q:  I keep asking and wondering about the “lower/higher” function of the mind…Can you help me understand better about the overall function of the mind?

A:  The mind is the processor.  When you use a food processor to change the texture of the food for a certain recipe…it is the same food, but a different consistency, to enhance the flavor needed for that certain recipe.  In human terms, the mind processes information in ways that you can understand in your signature energy.  But the mind is not an “activator”…the soul is the activator.  The mind is the processor of information…which is in connection with the brain, but is not the brain. 

The brain waves are important to the incoming information from the mind…but the soul mind is of a higher/deeper, eternal energy.  The brain will cease, when the body ceases.  The “higher” mind generates ideas from soul…the mind processes what the soul already knows, and interprets soul information to mind.  The mind passes this information to the brain, and if the brain is out of sync…out of “whack”…in wave form, then the soul information, processed by the mind, will be misinterpreted by the brain…which is why brain wave patterns are very important.  In the case of the “lower mind” (3D mind) most of the information is generated from the database of the subconscious, where many of your “fears” have been given space.  When the brainwaves are out of synch, you are more likely to default to the fears in your subconscious databank.

The hormones also work directly with the mind…as a gateway for the information from the soul.   When the brain is not in harmony…balanced in wave form, then the hormonal part of the communication system will not correctly process the information – the electrical communication system in the physical body is messed up and therefore cellular communication is compromised. 

In short, the mind PROCESSES soul knowledge... the higher energy.  The mind processes higher/deeper energy information into denser energy form so that the mortal brain can receive the higher information.  The mind reduces the frequencies to a lower, denser form of energy that can be interpreted by the mortal being. 

So to re-cap this particular illustration:  the “flavor” of the information received by the brain comes from the mind.  Just as in the recipe…a food can be of a certain flavor in raw form…but when the consistency is changed, the flavor is “pressed” out of the raw form.  The soul has “raw” information and knowledge…the mind then processes the soul knowledge…what you call God…to bring out the flavor of whatever your situation calls for.  The mind can chop, puree, slice, dice or liquefy the soul information.  Your intention calls for the flavor, the soul gives the mind what the intent is asking for and translates that information by processing the raw form in whatever way the situation calls for in the manifesting.  The hormones receive the information from the mind, but the particular brain waves must be in sync in order to give the right “commands” to the releasing of the information by the hormonal pathways.  There will be much more brain wave balancing in the near future…this is needed for the soul information to be processed in a ways that can be released, at physical levels by the hormones.

Here’s another illustration that may be helpful in your understanding.  The mind is also like a conductor of a symphony orchestra.  The mind directs, but if the instruments are out of tune, the music will not be harmonious, and will produce a rank sound.  Often, the brain does not care for the mind…the brain wants to “do it all”..this is connected to mortal ego…in a sense.  When you make statements such as, “I need to get my mind out of the way…”  it would better to say, “BRAIN…come into alignment with the mind and soul”.  The brain is the “culprit”, not the mind.  The mind is an aspect of your eternal being-ness…but the brain simply exists to receive higher information in lower, dense form for manifestation in your dimension.  The brain IS important in its own function; but when joined with the ego, the brain wants to take over what only the soul and mind can do.  So cease telling the mind to be silent…and tell the brain to align with the soul mind. 

ALL bodily functions are at the service of the Divine presence, the divine presence is NOT at the service of the body.  Your body is simply different instruments in the divine orchestra…some are out of tune, some are in tune.  Reiki DOES help tune the un-tuned parts of the orchestra…therefore, you can understand that Reiki tunes the different instruments to create harmony….harmony creates wholeness and healing…the Reiki does not create the healing…it tunes everything to “sound” together in harmony.  You heal yourself, as you come into harmony.  For now….acknowledge the mind as an aspect of your divinity, and give it its rightful place in your creation efforts.
