How the Brain Works

Neocortex (The Thinker)

• Governs higher cognition, reasoning, and self-awareness

• Predictive processing suggests the brain shapes reality before sensing it

• AI studies reveal brain waves sync with deep learning networks

• Tied to ego and mental projections in spiritual traditions

Limbic System (The Emotional Core)

• Controls emotions, memory, and subconscious drives

• Emotional imprints shape perception and reality

• Linked to near-death experiences and altered states

• Resonates with karmic energy and manifestation theories

Pineal Gland (The Third Eye)

• Regulates sleep cycles and possibly perception beyond the senses

• Magnetoreception suggests sensitivity to electromagnetic fields

• Potential role in DMT production and mystical experiences

• Considered the gateway to higher consciousness in esoteric traditions

Basal Ganglia (The Subconscious Pattern Generator)

• Controls habits, motor functions, and unconscious behavior

• Habit loops reinforce neural pathways, mirroring reality-shaping ideas

• Flow states enhance creativity and spiritual insight

• Aligns with karma and the power of repetition in rituals
