Top What Are Mirror Neurons?

Most people are familiar with regular brain Neurons.

Neurons become active when the brain becomes active (excluding the maintenance part of the brain for this article).

However, neuron activation is not limited to physical or cognizant actions by the person or animal.

Mirror Neurons are not just surgical EEG printouts. They are much more.

In fact, you have thought neuron activation, emotional neuron activation and you also have "seeing" neuron activation.

This will be much easier to understand for parents of very small children if you have ever watched them saying a new word.

There are 3 main aspects at play here.

  1. Visually watching the word being spoken in the first place.
  2. Thinking about "how" they can control their mouth and voice to match the word.
  3. Actually participating in the recreation of the new word.

Visible And Invisible ↟↟

While many people may be aware of the child example, the same principle applies when you are meditating or praying.

The "Visible" version is the child example.

The "Invisible" version is more internal than external.

Most people pick up subliminal "cues" by direct and even indirect observation of someone else.

These cues have the potential to extend far beyond the physical. These Mirror Neurons may even be activated by "Reactive Nuances".

Groups ↟↟

For most people, this may never apply, but for those who do experience it, just know that it is completely natural.

Sometimes, when you are in a group, IF there is someone of an exceptional level (ascended), then some or all of the group "may" have the same experience as that person.

For example: The ascended person may radiate love or peace or some kind of consciousness while they are meditating.

Suddenly other people in the meditation group may also start feeling the same experience.

1) One time I was in a small group when the "ascended" person started opening their , at which point, mine also started opening.

2) Another time I was in a group and one of the people started to literally radiate light and the light was so powerful that I actually saw this light - in this instance it appeared that I was the only person in the group to see this event.

I have had other examples, but I am sure that you get my point.

The thing is not to be afraid and to continue your journey - because ANY experience you have is NOT your destination, it is merely scenery along your path.


Top Why Are Mirror Neurons Important?

Mirror Neurons are important for learning both physically and spiritually.

They are also important for self-esteem and helping others.

When I was leaving the Army, my - OC - "boss" called me into his office to give me my discharge papers (personally).

He told me that he was going to recommend that I was not allowed to reinlist back into the military because - he said - he believed that I had a greater purpose in life and that I would one day help many others.

To be 101% honest, I had no idea what he was talking about. In my eyes, I was a lost soul looking for an island of truth in the turbulent ocean of life.

You see, he created a Mirror in me which I had to look at, think about and eventually act upon.

For me personally, the circle was completed when I was having a discussion "stuff" with my friend Lloyd Pye and as we were discussing this esoteric "stuff", Lloyd said to me that I should become involved in the "bringing truth to this planet" movement.

Until then I was only interested in my own journey, but Lloyd said that he "believed in me" and that I was a good person, and so I should help bring light to this world.

I am telling you this - not for credit - but because Mirror Neurons go all the way down to the quantum level and possibly even further.

When you do not believe in yourself but great people do believe in you and they say so, it has an effect on you IF you act upon it.

I had been told many times that I was a good person, even though I could not see it myself, and it is only when you have great people tell you, that you begin to believe it within yourself.

In this way, you are now mirroring the positive energy projected onto you by someone you respect.

Most people have the potential to be better - IF they try.

In fact, when you activate emotional neurons, they "may" also activate your body's network.

This creates an entirely different system of Mirror Neurons.


Top How To Utilize Mirror Neurons

Learn something new every day - I personally spend at least 2 hours a day reading and watching documentaries and other "studies".

Meditate to the point where you are aware of your personal nuances, both emotional and physical. Then go beyond that point.

Participate in new experiences (safe ones). Try new mantras, new prayers, even try being kind to others.

You see, it is not just your learning curve you have to contend with, your actions become a mirror for how others act and react to you and their society.

Especially children.

Have you ever noticed how often children mirror their parents? Some of these are too funny. +

The Jimmy Stewart movie "It's a Wonderful Life" is a classic example of how you can affect others.

Anger ↟↟

Most of you may not know this but "Anger" can shut down a child's learning ability including their "Mirror Neuron" co-factor called enthusiasm. + +

This means that their Mirror Neuron activity is also shut down.


Top Further Reading

My first real teacher in Buddhism - Brian from the UK - taught us that "The Mirror Principle" was based on what we project, is what we get back. He said that this applied to all aspects of life.

Having said that, please understand that while there are some basic studies regarding the potential of Mirror Neurons, this is a new and evolving science which has many years of hard study to catch up with Eastern Philosophy and the much more expansive range of topics affected directly and indirectly by Mirror Neurons activity.

Final Note ↟↟

This is why it is important to surround yourself and you family with positive progressing people who seek goo.

There is actually a story in the about when the Angels had to go down to Sodom.

Paraphrased...

Abraham asked them if they would spare the city (town) if there was 50 righteous people there.

They replied "for the sake of the 50 we will spare the town".

Abraham went down to 10 righteous.

They replied "for the sake of the 10 we will spare the town".

What is the lesson here?

The lesson is NOT TO surround yourself with evil people, seek good people to live with and interact with.
