We are all brainwashed.

Most brain washing services are eagerly provided free of charge.

I used to enjoy the ease and comfort of allowing these services to wash my brain for me. But after sustaining a severe traumatic brain injury, I needed to find what was most effective in my healing. While searching far and wide, I realized that information from the mainstream health narrative was not helping. I have since recognized the power and importance of my own mind and have been cleaning my brain myself for many years now.

If you like the idea of self empowerment and thinking for yourself… if you are like me and you recognize the power and importance of your own mind… follow my easy three step instructions to being your own neurological custodian!

— Step one: determine who/what is qualified to be a part of your sensory diet.

Everything our senses are exposed to drastically affect our neurology. Some of our sensory diet we have no control over, while other aspects are absolutely within our control. Decide what shows and movies you watch, what books you read, what podcast you listen to, and above all, who the people are that you surround yourself with.

— Step two: turn off the corporate “News” and don’t rely on “fact checkers.”

Corporate News is a theater masquerading as reality. Go outside. Connect with the Earth… the sky… connect with your fellow man and woman. Talk about EACH OTHER’S realities… not the theater.

News agencies supply news articles, stories, and pictures to mass media like NPR, BBC, NBC, the New York Times, CNN, Fox News, and more. This makes news agencies the most effective brain washing service in the world. The Associated Press and Reuters News are the biggest news agencies in America.

Another brainwashing source that is gaining in popularity in this internet generation are “fact checkers.” “Fact checkers” pick only the evidence that fits into their supporters’ agenda, skewing and discreditting evidence to the contrary. “Fact checkers” are experts at washing people’s brains into accepting the “truth” that they would like them to think.

After stepping away from the “News” and “fact checkers,” you may feel drawn back into the theater. It’s important to resist this temptation. Allow yourself to recalibrate to reality by staying away from all “News” sources, and allowing YOUR reality to be your reality.

— Step three: Be the change you want to see in the world.

Create your own TV show. You are the main character, and you are writing the script. In any story, the main character evolves. Decide what that evolution looks like and live that evolution. Be that evolution.
In line with being the change you want to see in the world, be sure to show interest and acceptance of differing perspectives. Everyone on this planet wants to be valued and accepted… including you! So show that you value and accept differing perspectives. Everyone is on their own journey and their beliefs will be their beliefs until those beliefs change.

That’s it!

With these three steps in place, you can begin to design your own neurology from within. You can be your own neurological architect. Self empowerment and self authorization is the key. Your sensory diet and your commitment to living into the change you want to see is the foundation.

Here’s to your autonomy! I am here to serve you in being the best you that you can be, so don’t hesitate in replying! I read every email I receive. 🙂
