Re-Cognising

To re-cognize something literally means to know it again. 

So many of us experience a vague yet persistent feeling of something we used to have that we’ve lost, something precious that’s gone missing. This produces a hum of uneasy background emotions from a mild sense of unease to a full out panic attack, a low-level dread to a crippling fear. 

This is the inevitable outcome when you unconsciously treat your thoughts as the be-all and end-all of your existence. You listen to the voices in your head as if they had some kind of solid reality, some separate existence, some authority. This is how you end up with bats in the belfry, maniacs in your attic who persuade you that they’re you. These voices that demand all your focus and attention are what are stopping you from re-cognising your true capabilities. They are not your friends!

Events in this mad world should compel you to question the paradigm that brainwashes you into believing that your thoughts equal your identity. You have been through an ‘education’ system that concentrates almost solely on the intellect, the classification and remembering system that comprises the left brain. It makes you increasingly robotic.

Gone from the educational curriculum are stimulants for your right brain – the one that doesn’t slavishly follow ‘facts’ (which are only ever theories). Gone is the drama and art, the sports and music and all the other ways that we can access intelligences within us that don’t rely on storing and regurgitating information. The right-brain accesses the wisdom of the heart and soul.

If you want to wake up to all of your God-given capacities, then start to re-cognise the parts of you that society has ignored. Contact your heart, meditate upon its energy, open it up to reveal the intuition of your soul. Allow it to express itself through music, dance, poetry, exercise or any other way that you can touch into the subtle energy that is your own raw, unique contribution to this world. Claim it back. Re-cognise it!
