RIGHT BRAIN LIVING
When our ever chattering, and thinking brains are quiet we are in a calm place of being, not doing. A place of not thinking as much as instant knowing. A sublime space of quietude and peace from human struggling, instead a place of love and connecing to all things.
And from this beautiful place of stillness and darkness, this Course manifested itself into being.
Today, while his left brain is still mostly quiet, and he remains blind in his left eye his right brain is wide open in joy, love and connection to this beautiful world. A world, a gift of free will to create each day: a higher self aware love and happiness on earth, or a lower self created suffering on earth.

A Fish in Water, A Bird in air, a Human on Earth. Imagine being a fish submerged in water, or a bird soaring the skies — each bound to their believed realm of consciousness. Just as a bird can’t convey the sensation of flight to a fish, and a fish can’t describe the depths of water to a bird, we too, as humans, have been bound by the consciousness of our belief that we live on a material earth. But there’s a yearning to transcend this barrier, to rediscover that sacred space we came from.
But what if we can find, as the fish and the birds there is a dimension we can easily enter. The answer lies in breaking free from the confines of our perceived reality. Transcending your belief of you are in a matrix ,of a unchanging and fixed material plane that Buddha called Maya. But, just as the fish who takes a leap above the water’s surface or the bird who plunges beneath the waves, we too can ascend beyond the limits of our five senses and suddenly find ourselves in a higher state of consciousness and being.
Our perceptions shape our reality. Just as the fish and bird are confined by their senses, we too are tethered to our five senses and the realm we know as earth. But if we can but open our minds and dare to embrace the possibility of another realm — the one we intuitively cannot see, but sense. we can liberate ourselves from the grip of this dimension of material consciousness.
So, How do you transcend above your limited beliefs of only an earth consciousness? It starts, not outside your body but inside your mind. It starts with harnessing the power within you.The ancient eastern teachings of the Upanishads teach us how to master our Body, Soul, Intellect and Mind. The “Metaphor of the Chariot”. Your Body is the Chariot, the vehicle that carries you through earthly existence, Your Soul is seated in the Chariot. Your Intellect is the Driver. Your Mind holds and guides the Reins.
The ancient Greeks taught, above all else …Know Thy Self. Know that You are the master of your life. Remember these two catalytic words, INTENT and Will. Your intent is your largest most important desire for your life on earth. Your Mind is in charge, your will holds the reigns and your minds force of will drives and guides the horse to your intent’s destination.
You may question: Is this really possible? Yes, I had three strokes in a period of three months. My two left brains were destroyed, but my right brains opened immediately. I was in a new world, a new consciousness. You can read my story and view videos of Neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor’s most watched TED TALK EVER, who was named Time Magazines TOP 100 Most Admired People in The World. Jill also had a left-brain stroke that shut her left brain down, and immediately found Nirvana in her two right brains. She is the author of two NY Times best seller books, Stroke of Genius, and Whole Brain Living. A Course on Right Brain Living, SteveMonahan.com

What are you?
Greetings and a warm welcome! As I reflect upon my seven-decade journey on this wondrous planet, I'm excited to share a thought-provoking lesson that invites us all to explore the tapestry of personal images that define our ever-evolving journey. From the enigmatic beginnings to the present moment, we embark on a voyage filled with transformation and growth—a true marvel of the unknown.
Let's delve into a seemingly simple yet profound question: Who are you, at your core? Soul or Body? Are you the reflection that seemingly greets you in the mirror each morning and evening?
Are you the individual who has gracefully transitioned from infancy to adulthood, adopting a multitude of roles along the way? From innocent infancy to playful childhood, nurturing motherhood, responsible parent hood, wise teacher, ambitious leadership, and so much more.
Throughout our lives, we proclaim "I am this" and "I am that" with great conviction, yet only a handful truly understand the essence of the person reflected in the mirror. It's this lack of deep self-awareness that keeps us in a slumber-like state, disconnected from the brilliance of existence itself. Have you ever found yourself drifting through days and years, feeling seemingly content but missing out on the profound awe and wonder that your true self holds?
For Seven Decades my Physical being has changed. But my Atman & Spirit has never changed.
For it has been, and always will be. Each night the body dies. And each morning Atman is again, pure always in the moment,
The biggest challenge & fear for man is to surrender her ego to a power higher than themself. That is the only way however that one tranascend above the left lower self brains. Surrender, and you will instantly awaken to your eternal right hemispher higher brain consciousness.
When you release your earthly attachments you will be in Nirvana. And each rising moment of each rising new day you will feel blessed and thankful, For each moment you have been given a gift, a gift to create a new physical life each day.
Overcome your fears. Do not live another day of earthly suffering caused by your left mortal brains. Set your intent and harness your will, and in that moment you will soar free as an Angel. You will have become that which you were destined to be.
May love & Peace, Awe & Wonder be with you each day of your mortal life. Steve Monahan
