If the brain suddenly realizes its own limitations – can it then change?

 

A Beech Shaded Hollow, Cranborne Chase, By Howard Phipps

Our brain is not merely a certain brain, but the brain that has evolved through millenniums.

The brain has not merely been born; it is very, very old in the sense that it is a product of evolution. The evolution is contained in the brain.

John Locke´s empirical assertion about, that the consciousness, or the brain, from birth of, is to compare with an empty blackboard, a tabula rasa - is consequently wrong.

But if the brain through centuries has become accustomed to, trained to, the one or the other, and it suddenly realizes this – can it then change? Can the quality of the brain itself change?

This the heredity advocates would deny. And the environment advocates would deny it unless it is a result of an outer influence. However, both of these are reductionist points of view.

What if you looked at it from the point of the Wholeness?
