“In view of the emotions that grip you, you’re thinking in the past—and trying to predict the next moment based on the past—and your brain can’t process the present moment. There’s no room for the unknown to show up in your world. You’re feeling separate from the quantum field, and can’t even entertain new possibilities for your circumstances. Your brain isn’t in creative mode; it’s fixated on survival, preoccupied with possible worst-case scenarios. Again, not much information will be encoded into the system that is not equal to that emergency state. When everything feels like a crisis, your brain makes survival the priority, not learning. The answer lies outside the emotions you’re wrestling with and the thoughts you’re overanalyzing, because they keep you connected to your past—the familiar and the known. Solving your problems begins with getting beyond those familiar feelings and replacing your scattered focus on the Big Three with a more orderly mode of thinking.”
