Forming The Mind Of Christ

[Sarah147]

Hello.

The sub-title is supposed to end with "we are wired for love."

I just watched an interesting interview with a doctor (Phd) that talks about thoughts and what scientifically happens to the brain. She says we are wired to love. Proteins are formed in our brain by a thought. She said we actually grow in intelligence by (I think she said through worship), it has been scientifically shown to be true. She gives a visual of toxic thoughts using a dead tree, and a good thought using a living tree. She says that problems and diseases and things come about from toxic thoughts. She also mentions about the "epigenome."

I find this all very interesting. I've seen on Oprah that those of other faiths out there are lately into praticing being "in the moment/present."

In Catholic literature, there is something somewhat similar to this. There's a great book titled [url="http://www.amazon.com/Sacrament-Present-Moment-Jean-Pierre-Caussade/dp/0060618116"][i]Sacrament Of The Present Moment[/i] (Alternate Title: [i]Abandonment to Divine Providence [/i])[/url] by [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Pierre_de_Caussade"]Jean Pierre de Caussade[/url].For the online edition on CCEL [url="http://www.ccel.org/ccel/decaussade/abandonment"]click here.[/url]

I've found this book of great practical help in life.
