You have moved beyond time and space and become pure, immaterial
awareness. Once you’re no longer connected to a body; no longer focused
on people, places, or things in your external environment; and beyond linear
time, you’re entering the door of the quantum field. You cannot enter as a
somebody, you must do so as a nobody. You have to leave the self-centered
ego at the door and enter the realm of consciousness as pure consciousness.
And as I said in Chapter 1, in order to change your body (to foster better
health), something in your external circumstances (a new job or
relationship, perhaps), or your timeline (toward a possible future reality),
you have to become no body, no thing, no time.
Thus, here is the grand hint: to change any aspect of your life (body,
environment, or time), you must transcend it. You must leave behind the
Big Three in order to control the Big Three.
The Frontal Lobe: Domain of Creation and Change
When we are in creation, we are activating the brain’s creative center, the
frontal lobe (part of the forebrain and comprising the prefrontal cortex).
This is the newest, most evolved part of our human nervous system and the
most adaptable part of the brain. It tends to be the creative center of who we
are, and the brain’s CEO or decision-making apparatus. The frontal lobe is
the seat of our attention, focused concentration, awareness, observation, and
consciousness. It is where we speculate on possibilities, demonstrate firm
intention, make conscious decisions, control impulsive and emotional
behaviors, and learn new things.
For the sake of our understanding, the frontal lobe performs three
essential functions. These will all come into play as you learn and practice
the how-to meditative steps for breaking the habit of being yourself in Part
III of this book.
