OPEN Mind…Creative Mind!

OPEN Mind…Creative Mind!

Sometimes life brings you from one point in your life to another so quickly  that you are left wondering HOW, WHEN and WHAT caused my life to change? Knowing as much as I do about how our consciousness is connected in this life and YET…not connected in the  whole because it is our soul that holds that consciousness in its entirety. I do believe that we are often brought around full circle when it comes to learning in this lifetime and see our world through the eyes of Source. . It’s often too easy to simply say…THIS life is where my focus needs to stay! But, is it really?

Knowing how much I love to talk about the Science & Spirituality connection, my friend sent me a recent interview through Buddha at the Gas Pump. She thought I would find this person fascinating. As soon as I heard the name, Marjorie Hines Woollacott, I wanted to listen to it right away! I had not only heard her speak live YEARS ago, but I bought and read her book Infinite  AWARENESS: The Awakening of a Scientific Mind.  Her book had come out while Marj and I were still writing ours and I enjoyed it immensely. I heard her speak and show very impressive slides of her research that she was using to convince other scientists to OPEN their minds to new and creative thought about the brain and consciousness. Click here if you would live to hear the interview on YouTube.

She was very convincing in scientific terms about how her brain had changed.  While she is probably not known in some circles, I had been very impressed with how a very linear/materialistic thinking neuroscientist had her life changed during a meditation event. She talks vividly about how her OPEN MIND concerning practices that were not widely accepted at the time…is how her life began to change. She was deep into University life earning her PhD and could not afford to “come out” until she had the full acceptance of the neuroscience field as an expert on the brain. So she waited years before sharing all of her very impressive research with the Scientific Community.

I was very curious about the change in Marjorie Woollcott…HER personal change over the past 11 years. I realize how much both Marj and I have grown since the publication of our book in 2016. And of course I certainly was not disappointed as I listened to her speak during this interview! Wow…she is an amazing person and as I suspected she has kept growing all of these years too! I loved how she expressed now how she learned… a new way of describing her initial meditation event. “There was a current of lightening that came through and I heard words that touched my soul. She heard the words, “My heart is my home. MY HOME! I had a feeling that changed me forever!” Again of course she expressed how she was afraid of being branded and losing her credibility as a PhD. But, after the publication of her book she began to realize that there are other scientists, doctors, and religious leaders that were trying to make the scientific connection to validate their hunches…also hiding out to keep the status they worked so hard at our Universities to achieve.

She talked about the whole philosophy behind DOUBT. She says we need it to live in this materialistic world, but that it is our ability to OPEN our mind to new “possibilities”  that allows us to grow in truth. She also talked about the creativity that LIVES and THRIVES in each one of our brains that allows us to move beyond doubt to understanding. She feels that “SOME Quantum Physicists are beginning to shift as well, but certainly it is not the majority. ” 

I loved how she talked about the one GREAT mind that we are all a part of. That GREAT ONE mind is within us and incluudes all of us in the same way. She feels that this reveals real consciousness and where it lives in us and all around us. Her research is also very impressive about people that use meditation as a regular practice. Some of her newest brain research that is documented is showing that during the normal lifetime of an individual, aging narrows the cortex in our brain. That is widely accepted by all scientists. But, in meditators, even those that simply do a quick 20 minute meditation daily, their cortex does not narrow! These have been proven now through MRI brain scans!

So, I don’t know about you…but this strengthens my desire to KEEP up with my yoga and  meditation daily!!

And now the TRUTH about this interview…when I searched the date of this interview it was in 2018…not a recent interview. I decided to look up where she is NOW…and of course found her! She’s still working hard to step outside of the box and keep talking and helping us understand so MANY different phenomena that we might NOT have opened our MIND!

Click here to hear a very NEW interview by Dr. Mayin Bialik in 2026…OKAY…so I am convinced that once a MIND is opened to MORE…MORE keeps coming! Abrahan Hicks put all of this into words for us all…see your WORLD through the eyes of Source!!
