NEURON = MORON?
Over 80% of our neural connections are made after birth. 3/4 of brain development happens during the 3 years after birth.
Human beings create ignited neural circuits all the time. We may refer to them as ‘neural entities‘ because they often operate independently, displaying their own social, emotional, and physical characteristics.
The process of creating such an entity usually begins when we assign a name to something or someone. The object or being we label is NOT the actual thing, but an image of it that’s projected onto a ‘screen’ somewhere in our head.
If we don’t appreciate that image, the entity recalled by it – a unique neural circuit– will then try to acquire attention via admiration, approval, disapproval or condemnation.
The energy of our attention at the moment the neural circuit is activated is the entity’s only means of staying ‘alive’.
