#69. My Message to You

Hello, this is Virgil, but I am no longer here. I have left your screen! Do you want to know where I am? I’ll tell you. I am in your mind!

That’s right! In fact, I am influencing your brain to keep on reading this post which I have written ... just for you. And though you are not sure what this ‘think-piece’ is all about, you just keep on reading. That’s because I have a hold on your curiosity. Did you know that your curiosity button is in your frontal lobe. Yes, here it is ... right over here.

So here we are. I have captivated your attention, and you are still hanging on – and I assure you -- for a phenomenal ride.

I know, of course, that you could simply stop reading. You are thinking that you could click the X in the upper right hand corner of your screen. But, even if you did, you would come back online to finish reading my words which I have penned just for you and you alone.

No, this message is not for all those other people out there. Most of them are not as interested as you are. And I’m grateful that you are so fascinated with me, even though it’s because I am running throughout your brain looking for more buttons to push.

But, you know, as interesting as your mind is, I am searching for something more precious than your thoughts. And since you are so intrigued by my presence, I have a special favor to ask of you.  

Would you open the door to your heart and let me in? Then you can close this personal message to you and I shall remain in your heart-space for ever and ever.

#46. Who is the Thinker?

It is natural for people to think. But what exactly is ... thinking?

Science tells us that thinking is achieved through the activity of the brain; that we use only 1/10th of our brain potential; that the brain functions as a phenomenal computer with zillions of gigabytes of RAM (I made that part up with my brain); that signals for hormonal secretions are sent to the proper glandular authorities to create emotional charges in the body at a moment's notice; that memory is stored in the brain for future recall; that the brain . . . and on and on and on it goes.

But is there a "thinker" behind our "thoughts"? Is there a non-physical YOU that is independent of the human brain . . . and body? Can this thinker therefore choose to creatively use the brain to think and produce solutions to your problems?

If you respond with a comment (and I hope you will), is your brain telling you what to write . . . or is it coming from the non-physical, non-human YOU?
