Our mind, and the limitations of it in our life

Tweet

There are said to be various parts of our minds. One part receives information into it; another part analyses the information received; and yet another part will try to direct us to follow that information. We all have an ability to have insights into how things work, and operate, and as to how to best do things. These insights are received to us from our mind, with its connection to our intuition, gut feeling, or higher self, though, or sometimes, they can be generated within our mind too. When our mind listens, or takes in, these inner prompts, this part of our mind then serves us more fully, when it allows us to follow the inner prompt, without trying to interfere in its following. On its own, our mind cannot do much, as it is mostly just a machine, that functions with the input coming into it, from other areas of our total being. Our mind can throw ideas at us though, generated by its trying to work out solutions to our problems. Once we receive an insight though, what we often then do with it, is to try to use a bigger part of our mind, which will try to grasp the meaning of the insight, and see if there is any real beneficial use in it for itself. In other words, our minds try to understand the insight, before it will act on it, to follow it. This mostly slows down our actioning of the insights, and we might even then not follow the insight at all, as it is then to late to follow it, as the right timing has passed, and actioning the insight will not be so beneficial then. We often need to act on insights right away, before we try to fathom them out by understanding their meaning/possible usefulness for/to us. If we have an insight to take a different route, when we are driving our car to work, for example, but then we delay taking that insight, we will miss the turn off, and keep going, and then we will see the reason for the insight coming to us; there is a major traffic jam up ahead that we are now a part of too, and which we could have avoided, by our following our intuition. The gut feeling was serving us usefully, but our mind messed up the insight, by delaying us in its immediate application. We have to be able to recognise messages coming to us from our intuition then, and we should also listen to inner promptings from which could be coming from God, even via his Holy Spirit, or an angel, talking directly to our heart. Our mind is only one part of us that generates such inputting messages to us. We can receive messages in many other ways, even while we are dreaming, we can receive messages that will bypass our conscious mind to get through to us too. We are far greater beings than just our being the mind, or brain in our heads.
