How is it possible for the brain to get out of its own way? Reading Missy Vinyards thought experiments in “How you stand, how you move, how you live”, I feel as though I am mentally tying myself in knots. Sometimes I get a glimpse of a possible letting go, in order to let some other aspect of me coordinate my movement.
She claims it is possible for the higher cortex do nothing except give the instruction and the direction. It feels like being out of control. Can I really trust this other part of me to move me safely?
It correlates with the idea of creative manifestation – use your conscious mind to be absolutely clear about what you want to happen, give up your ideas of how it will happen. Be open to all possibilities. This approach to life feels too simple and at the same time similarly scary.
