The wonder of the brain



Have you ever got up in the middle of the night with a spark of genius- in simpler terms a solution to a problem you went to sleep thing about ? Did you ever think about where the solution came from ? Most standard accepted accounts say “the universe provides” or “the all mighty knows and helps in times of need” and a few more statements like these that in my opinion tend to belittle the power of the human mind. 

Thinking further this spark of genius is not limited to just the middle of the night.. it could happen at any time and we of course call it “inspiration” 


Well then what is the cause for this ? 


Most people tend to predominantly use one half of their brain (scientists have proven this) and people are bracketed as either left brain or right brain thinkers . Excellent another label to work with ;) . 


The spark of genius is theorised to happen when both half’s of the brain are in complete sync and ones dominant personality vanishes for that brief instance in time. History is full of inspiring folks and one common trait in them has been the stroke of their genius has been when both half’s of the brain are in sync. 


It takes a lot of effort to train one’s mind to be able to use both half’s at the same time and not leave it to some random chance. It’s taken me 30+ years after school to understand this simple idea. 


The idea is so simple and something that needs to be thought to kids as they grow up - essentially a new born baby uses both half’s (again scientifically proven) but we “loose” ourselves as we go through school and college finally forgetting this simple skill. 


Life is supposed to be a reflection of one’s thoughts- wouldn’t it be better if we used both half’s of the brain to think ? 


As always feedback welcome
