To some extent, we have positive experiences as adults, yet because the gravitational field of the positive experiences is so small, these new positive memories either fade away or become unreachable
Oh Katerina! So much here! It’s like a whole course! I will lean into this! You connect the dots so well. The fact that changing mindset is supported by neuroplasticity is amazing. Change our mind to change our life! I will read deep and see what questions arise! Thank you 🙏❤️
Thank you, Jamie. I attempted to connect all of the readable dots; I still feel as if I left out a lot of information, but it will be revealed in posts to come :).
Lean into silence, solitude, and self-directed neuroplasticity! I look forward to discussing your questions and curiosities if you have any! Happy reading, and best wishes for great momentum in making the necessary changes in your life!❤️
Wow, Katerina, there is so much in this part I feel an urge to respond to. We could dive into deep conversation and explore for hours, day, or weeks...
Having just come back from a trip to the UK I still feel a bit knackered (came home with a cold, as usual, and today in the garden I promptly hurt my back, digging up young physalis plants, which decided to sprout all over the gravel...🌱..🌱..🌱) So I'm a bit tired, hence my slow response to your wonderful piece.
I took various notes while reading, there are so many threads I'd love to pick up. But I'll limit myself for now to two points:
1 – One is the same that Jamie mentioned ~ the neuroplasticity.
I have experienced this many times in my practice of Synchronosophy. What I would like to add here is that there are two complementary ways we can trigger this growth of new neural pathways. One is the voluntary method, of which you describe the example:
"The redirection of thoughts and actions will start to change neural pathways as habits begin to be replaced, and new parts of the brain are used. The brain literally starts to rewire itself with a simple change of mindset." This is what I would call the 'voluntary route'
Another way is to take the 'autonomous route'. In the practice of Synchronosophy we nurture frozen traumatised 'inner creatures' and once they are safely retrieved and brought 'home into the fold' as it were, we experience a spontaneous sense of emotional relief, followed by neural activity in the brain! (you can feel it flickering and buzzing). In my experience and understanding this is more powerful than the voluntary method, which relies on deliberate direction of thoughts.
2 – The second point I want to respond to relates to the impact we have on others with this work...
You write: "This is the kind of work that will shape your life and the lives of those who come after you. It's not just about what you do; it's also about the impact you have on the collective and the impact your work has on people beyond your immediate sphere of influence."
Absolutely!!! Having done this work for about 4 decades, and spent over half of that time exploring my own way of figuring things out, I can definitely now see the impact this has had on my children. I have had opportunities to observe how working with one person has made a difference in their families and social circles. Inner work, in my experience, enables us to witness and really comprehend oneness. We are not as separate as we often feel.
Individuation is absolutely essential and important, and at the same time it has a powerful effect on the collective. I think we don't yet realise how powerful...
Thank you so much for the mention and links to my work 💗🙏 I am honoured and grateful!
💗🙏Veronika, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this very helpful and insightful comment! It was one of my favorite moments to read it and be in that state of feeling understood and seen by you.
I hope you recover quickly and feel inspired to create!
Yes, I agree with you about the voluntary approach to rewiring the brain: "Another option is to take the 'autonomous route'. In the practice of Synchronosophy we nurture frozen traumatised 'inner creatures' and once they are safely retrieved and brought 'home into the fold' as it were, we experience a spontaneous sense of emotional relief, followed by neural activity in the brain! (you can feel it flickering and buzzing). In my experience and understanding, this is more powerful than the voluntary method, which is based on deliberate thought direction." This is excellent! I would love to include this in my article; could you please provide me with a source or a link to one of your writings about it? For myself, I'd like to go even deeper into this topic.
You stated it succinctly: "Individuation is absolutely essential and important, and it has a powerful effect on the collective. I believe we have yet to realize how powerful..." Our psyche is and will always be looking for the balance that individuation provides; until we find that harmony, I believe we will be stuck in a cycle until we learn to step out and own our lives.
It's my pleasure to mention your writings! I'm always talking about your work; I admire your ideas and how you express them!
Dear Katerina, thank you so much for a comprehensive response. I am also looking forward to going deeper into this conversation with you!!
I haven't mentioned this (the neural activity in the brain) yet in any of my chapters of Synchronosophy because I haven't really gotten into the practical part yet. Working on this at the moment, ready for the launch of 'Season 2' in the autumn...
You write: "I believe we will be stuck in a cycle until we learn to step out and own our lives."
~ Absolutely!! I believe that too. That's the challenge for all of us, to step out of whatever 'hamster wheel' our society has provided, and fully into the adventure of our own life. The conversations with you are also helping me to gain greater clarity. So thank you for your work too, and for your important journey on this path 💗🙏
Yuhu! I'm looking forward to 'Season 2':D, dear Veronika! I'm glad reading helped you gain clarity; that's what I aspire for with my writing. Thank you for your warm thoughts! 💗

The faithful blessing of acceptance! Thank you 🙏❤️
Yes, your poetic words complemented my thoughts on what makes us human in this post! Just like a gleaming gold glue in a broken Japanese vase.🙏
