Evo isječka iz jedne podugačke studije.
Sigurna sam da tekst mnogo toga objašnjava/razjašnjava. :-)
O mozgu, načinu korištenja istog,i tako...

Not many of us realize that there are two kinds of thinking which operate simultaneously. There is thinking with the brain, and there is thinking with the mind. Mind and brain are not the same thing.
The latter is basically an organic machine programmed by our worldly experiences through time. The former is an phylogenetic inheritance, and contains the thought impressions of all those men and women who have lived before us and whose myriad experiences have been recorded in the Akashic Record or, in modern parlance, in the Collective Unconscious. Thinking with the mind is really imagining, rather than thinking. Those who "imagine" (with the mind) can be referred to as "right-brained," as "right-brained," while those who primarily use the brain to think, the vast majority, are "left-brained." The latter see the parts and not the whole, and are "intellectual." The former see the whole in each part, and are "intelligent." The latter are inventive, the former are creative. The brain-thinkers love physics. The mind-imaginers enjoy alchemy and art. The brain-thinkers are linear, repressed, retentive, conformist and outer-directed. The mind-imaginers are mutable, iconoclastic, independent and inner-directed.
According to true Mystics, Gnostics and Taoists, true wisdom cannot be attained via any kind of thinking. Neither the brain, nor the mind, can apprehend the Real as it really is. The very act of thinking alters what is thought about, as the very act of seeing changes what is seen. Truth cannot be KNOWN.

Additionally, contrary to what we falsely believe, we do not come into this world "innocent." Innocence, as William Blake knew, is merely our state of mind when we are introduced to the phenomena of the world for the first time. To the young brain everything seems new, fresh, exciting and incomprehensible. Originally, before we are taught otherwise, we do not even try to think about what happens to us, or about what we see and experience. We just experience, and it is enough to do so. As we age, however, we gain experience, and innocence eventually flees, never to return. We certainly continue to crave that newness and freshness, but fail to realize that it is our minds, our very consciousness, which needs to be new and fresh every day, and not our experiences. The mind which is split, infirm, narcissistic, toxic and/or prejudiced, can hardly be expected to function in a healthy, spontaneous manner, or to know anything as a certainty. As such a mind decays, it loses its mutability and ceases to function holistically. It continues to have experiences, and relationships, but very few which are deep or meaningful. Such a "calcified" mind is content to take orders, to allow others to lead it, and to seek unison with others of its own kind. It loathes (gadi mu se) independence and aloneness. It despises darkness, silence and inwardness. It despises anyone that is inward, quiet and dark. And, it does not realize that, sooner or later, it will have to inherit the very shadows it has cast, by way of its phallocentric, acquisitive, hyper-focused modalities of thought.
