Our brains hold the power to access divine consciousness, and by choosing a meaningful purpose and mastering our thoughts, we can unlock infinite creativity and co-create a better world.
Did you know that we have “heaven” in our brains? This is wisdom passed down from the ancient Korean text, Samil Shingo, and it’s also what I’ve experienced in my own awakenings through meditation. Heaven, in this sense, is not a place but a state of being. It’s the divine aspect of our individual consciousness and the universal consciousness that permeates all. We human beings experience and use divine universal consciousness through our brains. Via this inherent trait of our brains, we become intentional co-creators of our lives and of the path of the earth.
That’s why our choices matter. We have the infinite power in our brains to create to our hearts’ content. But what do our hearts want? Somewhere deep in our hearts lives a noble desire to do good for the world. This is the seed of divinity planted deep within us by the great life force that makes up everything. We seek to become better beings and work to resemble heaven because heaven, the seed of divinity, has descended and dwells in our brains.
But, when divine thoughts well up out of great life, in order for them to matter, we need the eyes to see them, the courage to acknowledge and choose them, and the will to put them into practice. By considering those thoughts precious and devoting ourselves to developing them, we can create genuine change in our lives, in our neighbors’ lives, and in the lives of humanity.
The Power of Purpose
A purpose in life acts like a directional signal for the brain. The brain processes all information according to its light. Without that light, the brain cannot help but follow its survival instincts and habits. Those who have turned on their directional signal, their purpose in life, are the masters of their brains.
A masterless brain is easily ruled by emotion and led about passively by information. When we are conscious that we are the masters of our brains, we can actively process emotion and information. We develop the insight to see a situation clearly, like when a light bulb is turned on in a dark room.
When the power of insight emerges, the master of the brain appears. The master intervenes in situations where the brain is about to process information according to primary survival instincts and habits, and enables it to make other choices.
Our Brain’s Creative Pull
Our brains can become infinitely great because heaven is within them. Our brains, if we ask, can readily do things we have never done, even things we don’t know about. Our brains have the great power to find a path where none is visible, and to make a path where none is to be found.
The body is an extension of the brain. The brain’s neural network is spread throughout the body. All the organs and cells in our bodies are connected with our brains. The mind is also an action that takes place in the brain. There is no mind without the brain. In view of this, we can say that the brain is the self.
Our brains are connected with other people, the earth, and the whole cosmos, as well as with our bodies. That’s why, when our spirits choose a vision, all our cells, the planet, and the cosmos learn of it through our brains. Then, like magic, our brains pull in all the information of the universe to achieve the vision we have chosen.

When people have a great cause and dedicate themselves, giving everything they’ve got to achieving their purpose, heaven is moved and bestows upon them bright, powerful energy. Earth is moved, and builds for them connections that will bring happiness.
The heart that seeks to go beyond its own narrow interests to work for the greater good of other people and life—this is the most precious value of humanity, and the greatest function of the human brain.
So, we don’t need to be confined by the self we have experienced so far, the self we know. Going beyond what we’ve known and experienced, we can challenge our brains with new questions and give it new tasks—then it will begin to manifest infinite creativity.
We can invite anyone, anything, into our brains. We can encounter anyone, anything, in our brains. We might as well invite into our brains the most beautiful and bright thing in the world—the gift of the greatest vision you can choose.
