The Physiology of Consciousness

The Physiology of Consciousness

Human beings have been evolving for millions of years. We are living longer, growing taller, and are developing more mass in our brains, and we are still evolving. We are beginning to develop our latent faculties of higher awareness and becoming more conscious of our own consciousness. You have evolved yourself to the point that you have realized that there is something to be realized and that is why you are reading this now. You are awakening.

The last part of the brain to develop is the outer edges of the brain, particularly on the top of your head in areas called the frontal and temporal lobes. These regions store the latent memory of who you are and why you were born, and provide the state of consciousness where you can "witness" your own mind and take conscious control of it. By developing this part of your brain, referred to in both Yoga and Kaballah as the "Crown," you develop the seat of higher awareness---your consciousness.

Most human beings only use a very small percentage of their brain, less than 15 percent. We have a vast potential that has yet to be fully tapped, and as we do, we develop a higher state of awareness. We evolve our consciousness to the point of being fully conscious which means we can take conscious control over our mind and live in a state of greater clarity, happiness and peace. You intuitively know that the answers lie within, that the source of happiness and peace lies within and even that the "Kingdom of Heaven" or bliss lies within.

To pass through this gate of higher awareness you have only to realize it is there and consciously put your attention on developing it. Similar to how you develop parts of your physical body through training; you can train your brain to develop your consciousness until you are fully conscious. You are part of a small but rapidly growing segment of the population that is awakening your consciousness, and that is why you have been led to these words. You are ready to fully awaken. You are ready to enlighten your consciousness. Go to the place within you where these words ring true and observe that part of you.
