THE REPTILE BRAIN

SURVIVAL/STRESS

Our first ever brain, its only goal was & is to survive & feel good. Our most ancient DNA lives in these chakras & it's going nowhere very slowly. Volatile, territorial, compulsive, self-serving & extraordinarily successful - it has no interest in our other 2 brains whatsoever. Nada. Lizards don't give a monkey's.

THE MAMMAL BRAIN

EMOTIONS

Thankfully, a new brain emerged, forming a dense cortex around the old one, restraining its reptilian impulses. We now had no choice but to think before we acted. Controlling feelings & urges opened the door to emotional bonds & meaningful social relationships.

THE HUMAN BRAIN

COMPLEX THOUGHT/PEACE 

Then just 200,000 years ago, humans got an astonishing upgrade. Our new brain - the Neocortex - is like the Reptile Brain in that its aim is survival. Its weapon, however, is the most powerful of vibrations - Love. This brain is young, however, & this new level of empathy makes us prone to shame, guilt & pride. The key: mastering our new neurology.
