Our brain is the pivot of our conscious and unconscious processes. It articulates and connects every activity of our life. It shares a multitude of thoughts and contexts of our mind at myriad levels. It also connects every dot with a host of diverse functions that are, otherwise, not perceptible. One could, therefore, refer to the brain as our mind’s watchful workspace — a living component and/or a ‘fully-organic’ entity that personifies our whole being. This is primarily because it orchestrates, no less, our physiological catalogue, or inventory, with a range of states — right from the most simple, or subtle, delicate, or supremely refined, to the most commonplace, or mundane, daily routine, or complex task.
Our brain enlivens every progression in our mind by way of chemical synapses that are, in effect, seamlessly synchronised and organised. This ‘mindful symphony’ represents a sublime picture — of instinctively extemporal ‘flow’ of neural constituents. It epitomises the biological forte of our mind-body connect which, in turn, is regulated by signals that drive our conscious senses and innumerable functions during our wakeful hours — as also sleep. The whole process is articulated and extended by nature and nurture too — a composite entity that is guided by our thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions, as also reactions. It determines, in the process, our inquisitiveness, or imaginings, into everything. It enunciates, no less, the archetypal foundation of ‘who we are,’ or ‘who we can be,’ during our voyage through life.
The philosopher Aristotle articulated the sublime idea that there was a special form of communication between our body, brain, mind, soul and emotions. He felt that this epitomised a deft, also dexterous, web having the scale of two waves navigating in opposite directions. He also thought of them as a unified whole, the sum of the parts and part of the whole, that conformed to common sense thinking. His framework explains the fact that emotions not only stream from and narrate one’s insightful feelings, in one’s perimeter of thought, but they are also just as vibrant as the rainbow, or as dull as the dodo, subject to contextual situations, or circumstances.
