Imagine that somebody planted a single thought in your head when you were younger. Let’s say one of your parents convinced you that you are worthless.

That single thought can hold your whole body hostage without you even realizing it.

What is a thought?
A thought is like a small ball of electricity. And that little ball of electricity can keep an entire body hostage. Maybe you’re afraid to go out or meet new people, because you believe others don’t like you.

From the outside, it looks bizarre—that a person’s whole body and movement can be influenced so strongly by just one ball of electricity.

Therefore, make sure you change your relationship with your thoughts.
Sometimes, I love my thoughts. Sometimes, I mark the ones I don’t like and attack them within myself (try it, it works). Eventually, you become the boss of your own body. Nobody else.

Thinking is done with your whole body, not just with your head.

We don’t live in a parallel universe. Things exist in every dimension possible. Some depressions are also just sadness.

Once you understand the beauty within your body, your life will never be the same.

Not loving yourself can lead to depersonalization, so be careful with that. It can also contribute to other disorders, such as schizophrenia and psychosis. You can’t tell from the outside if someone doesn’t love themselves from within. It also creates a distance between you and the outer world, making it feel far away.

I want to start with consciousness.

Begin by tilting your head downwards. Let’s say you have anxiety. If you look at your own body and feel at the same time, you can locate the anxiety within it. Not all anxiety is in the same place. Some anxiety may be inside your knee, some in your stomach. By doing this, you take the fear out of the question—your body is not playing around. Don’t look away. Look down at your own body and start investigating where everything comes from.

Remember: consciousness is always about your whole body. It’s about all relationships. Your brain is a part of that, not the whole thing.

Imagine we take a brain and strip it of all surroundings. What’s the brain worth? Nothing.

A brain only exists in relation to other things, and only has value because of that. A brain in itself is nothing.

A brain is like a railroad station. It’s beautiful, but when the trains stop going in and out, it’s useless.

Therefore, when you look at a brain scan, you should see it as trains going in and out of the station. The station itself is less relevant.

The problem with neurology is focusing too much on the train station instead of the relationships with the surroundings. If somebody is depressed, it’s far more likely that a relationship in their life is messed up: having a bad upbringing, living in isolation, lacking meaning. If somebody has anorexia, it’s a broken relationship with emotions, and with food. It’s not a brain disease—calling it that only makes things more confusing, as if somebody truly has a defective brain.

Of course, some people will have acute brain trauma and a messed-up train station, but for virtually everybody else, no matter what the brain scans say, we are fine. That’s how it should work. And that is how the brain scan should look.

If you follow the rhythm of your body, it’s not symmetrical.

Every organ has a different pace and produces a different sound.

Following one movement in your body—one beat—is like a full circle with different heights. If you were to draw it, it would look like a rollercoaster, or symbolically, like a radiant crown or aureole.

Consciousness is seeing your whole body simultaneously, all at once. You’ll see that your brain is a part of that—no more, no less.

This is one thought. But you have hundreds, maybe even thousands!
