Believe It to See It: Transforming Your Reality Through the Neuroscience of Perception - E96

Hi there, mauritiana here, founder of the Mindsite Academy and host Only to Excel podcast. I'm back with another scripture science teaching, and today's an interesting one. But before we get into it, have you subscribed to this podcast? If you haven't, click the button below, subscribe, and I hope you like this podcast so that at the end, or even before the end, you click on the like button. So you know this.

Saying seeing is believing. Now what if I tell you that that's actually not the case, that it's actually the other way around? Now, it all starts with a vision. You have a vision of something or a dream of what you want. The next step is helping faith, having faith about that vision. And what is faith?

Faith is your ability to trust in God without seeing. Now, when you've got the vision, you build the faith. Now, the vision, as a Christian, comes from God, a desire, a dream. You want your purpose. Where are you going Then? Having the faith to really trust in God to get you to that place, to achieve that vision. It's this faith that then gives birth to belief. And how this occurs is when you trust, when you have that faith in God and you keep focusing on that faith, what it does is that it creates neural pathways in your brain that enables you, you know, keep going back to that information. So you build a trust that I believe that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. The more you're repeating this, trusting on what God can do and what he's already done in the past, it creates the neural pathways that will keep reminding you, that will keep opening your eyes, to also see the opportunities and those wiring. The more they connect. This is saying that neurons that fire together wire together. So the more these neurons are firing, they are wire in and they will become so intricate and become your default, actually. And that's where the belief is then formed.

So you can see that you don't have to see to believe. You've got to believe first, because it's the belief that then enables you to see the vision in your mind. It's then you'll be able to picture it and you'll be able to take actions to bring you to the reality of that vision. So the vision is created. Then you develop the faith that creates the belief, and it's the belief that then enables you to see it, first of all in your mind's eye and then the reality of it. So believing is seeing. I'm not seeing is believing, and it really comes down to the fact that it's about having a deep you know. It's about having a belief that is so deeply rooted that you can't help but keep going, keep pushing to achieve that reality of what it is you want, to actually enable it unfold before your eyes by the actions you're taking. And you know there's something that I always say that your brain will answer the questions that you ask it. So the more you're building up this belief and you then create the picture in your brain about what you want to see, about the vision that you're then seeing, the imagination, the creating the vision, and you have the path in which you're going to go, the actions you're going to take, that's what will really enable you stay focused, manage those expectations, be in control of where you're going so that when the opportunities come, when your brain presents you with the opportunities, or when the opportunities come, your brain will enable you see them. Because if you don't focus on that thing you want, even when it comes, you're going to miss it because you're focusing on something else, maybe focusing on what you don't have, focusing on the problems or the challenges that you're going to face to achieve it or focus on what you don't have. When you focus on those things, that's exactly what you're going to get. So it's really important to change that narrative and come back to the fact that believing is seeing. You've got to believe first, and the belief comes from the rewiring, because it's the repetition that rewires the brain, and the more you rewire the brain that becomes. That actually is what drives your behavior, because when you rewire the brain, it then creates a behavior pattern in you, and that behavior could be taking specific actions. It could be learning a skill, it could be starting the business, taking a course, getting a coach, setting up a website, whatever it is, but staying focused so that you're taking the appropriate steps to get you to where you want to be.

I would like to take a brief break from this enriching conversation to share something special with you. A quick question have you ever thought about how you could literally wear your hat on your sleeve? Or, let's get brainy how about showcasing your mind on your mug? Well, I've got something pretty cool to share with you. It's called the Mindsight Store and it's all about giving your everyday a little extra oomph of brain power. So here's the scoop.

We all know about the power of neuroplasticity, right? That amazing ability of our brains to change, adapt and rewire. Imagine fueling that process every single day with stuff you can wear, hold or just have around you. Mindsight Store is like your personal chair leader in this neuro journey, but in the form of super cool mesh. We've got t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and a lot more that remind you to embrace change, mugs that nod you to think positively with every sip. Talk about a caffeine boost, huh.

Click the link in the description below. Okay, let's jump back into our brain busting journey. So our behaviors and beliefs can change, evolve and strengthen, and we have the power to completely rewire our brain, and our behavior and beliefs change from what we give our brain to have. So the narrative or the story or what you tell your brain is what it will believe, and for a Christian, it's that faith in God that I can do this. That's the first thing to really get the brain in the right mindset. I believe I can do this because I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me and then leading you to then going to achieve the reality of what you want. So I hope this has really blessed you and I really challenge you to start putting into action those things you want, knowing that your belief is what would enable you to see the reality of what you want. Bye for now, and I look forward to seeing you in another chat.
