The Mind Functions As a Binary

June 12, 2015 By Wade

The mind measures and weighs. It sees things as “this or that”. It can go back and forth, considering the options of a decision, and it can loop in repeating patterns that will drive you nuts if you allow it to run your life.

Our minds are powerful tools.

As one of my favorite Human Design teachers, John Martin, says, “I have no doubt that the mind can get exactly what it thinks it wants, but I do doubt its ability to get it right.” Getting it right means navigating life correctly.

We are evolving as a species. Trusting life is the new modus operandi. Following the wisdom of the body keeps us true to our life path.

For thousands of years, the mind was in charge of humanity, driving us to create structure. The collective mind built the society we have today. It created the institutions, governments, laws, schools, and all of these various systems that we rely on.

However, there has been a shift in our genetic make-up. We are evolving.

For the past 200 years or so, we have mutated, as a species. The emotional solar plexus has arrived to lead humanity into the future.

Have you noticed how it seems that all these systems and structures are in need of an upgrade? They aren’t able to meet everyone’s needs any longer. We’ve become so diverse and diversity is beautiful. We now need to restructure so everyone is supported. It’s my opinion that that will happen through the emotional solar plexus. Through the wisdom of the body.

A “no” right now is not an eternal “no”. It simply means no. Right. Now. You can try again later and see if you are still meeting resistance. What is true for you does not go away. You won’t miss it. You will have an opportunity to try again, if it’s in alignment for you. That which is not in alignment will most certainly fade over time. You have already experienced this – I’m not telling you anything new here. I am empowering you, though, to listen to the wisdom of the body and to trust it.

This internal/external experience of life is guiding you towards your highest good. You will grow and evolve by observing and following these cues. You will have the energy you need, even for the toughest of lessons. Because they will be the correct lessons for your evolution.

Our splenic system, our emotions, and our mind – all in balance – brings us into this new age.

I encourage you to experiment with this. You will be surprised by how smart your body is. You will recognize that it has been speaking to you every day of your life, just waiting to be honoured as your true inner authority.

The age of the mind alone is over.
