The Trilogy Within Us - Its Life Altering Power

Connecting the heart, intuition, and the brain is where alchemy happens. It is the grander picture of who we are. This trilogy within us as human beings holds life altering power. When we connect all three, our wisdom becomes remarkable and we are able to reap the benefits of its life altering power.

The Heart

In 1991, there was groundbreaking research in the field of neuro-cardiology. Sensory neurons were discovered in the heart. Data showed that these brain-like neurons can process information and make decisions independent of the cranial brain. Astounding. This incredible discovery established that the heart is a sensory organ and a sophisticated programming and processing center suitably qualifying as a ‘heart-brain’.  

It is inspiring to see how science is beginning to parallel with ancient spiritual teachings. Today, science views the heart as a multifaceted, self-controlled and organized system that maintains a continuous conversation between the brain and the rest of the body. This fascination explains why we gain so many benefits for overall well-being when we go to the heart. It is an integral part of the trilogy within us.

Intuition

It has been said that intuition is the voice of God. When you go inward, you can hear it. There is great multi-dimensional wisdom in that stillness and listening. That knowing and that voice does not come from logic. It is the nonlinear wisdom that comes from a deeper force that is far greater than the human intellect. There is a sense of trust in the giver of this wisdom, even though you cannot see it. We can’t see intuition, but we sense it. In order to exercise intuition, you need to turn your attention in. Intuition is the second integral part of the trilogy within us.  

The Brain

The brain is the third integral part of the trilogy within us. What I learned from personal life experiences is that we need to disconnect ourselves from this skewed environment of power and control, and fundamentally disconnect ourselves from the massive influence that our brain has on human perception and reality. Why? Because we are all consciousness. We are all love. And this body is a vehicle that needs to be driven by the heart.

Alternatively, when we choose to be driven by thoughts in our mind we risk self-sabotage. The mind can be a blessing or a curse. But when we let go of desire and thought, the identification of desirous thoughts, there is a sense of freedom. Peace. After all, our natural being is to be without need. This is true peace. We are truly rich when we want for nothing. 

Two Practical Ways to Experience the Trilogy Within

1.      Meditation

Shut off the chatter in the mind and just listen. Practice this by simple meditation. It need not be complicated. Don’t order, wish, complain, or beg for things. Rather get still, focus on the breath, and listen to what your heart is trying to tell you. It is in that silence where it begins to manifest into intuition. 

Don’t over think it. Meditation is not an act of doing, as much as it is a state of being.  We can all meditate anywhere and at any time. It is to still without judgement or fear. And in that stillness, we can be transported above it all. Above all of the madness that collective unconsciousness has manifested in this physical world.

Meditate on what you see through the lens of the heart. Basque in pure consciousness as you enter that space that arises after the exhale of a thought. There you will experience that connection with Oneness and that alert awareness in the heart that puts things back in spiritual order.     

2.      Turn Your Attention Inward

Turn your attention in. Trust that your attention inward is the translator of your heart, your intuition, and your brain. And when you turn your attention inward your wisdom becomes remarkable. And from that point, how you choose to experience every situation in life is qualia (qualia are defined to be individual instances of subjective, conscious experience).

This trilogy within us as human beings holds a life altering power. If we can learn to connect the heart, intuition and the brain, imagine how much healing and love we could accomplish as a global family on this earth? We could move through a mindful heart, and take wise and intuitive actions to move mountains. Use these two practical ways each day in meditation, and in turning your attention inward. And above all, trust that your attention is the translator for all.
