The Cerebrum
Oh my! This is exciting!! Thank you huredriel! I was thinking of the brain and its relation to Aries the other day. I didn’t want to upset the sequence and figured I would discuss it at a later date.
The cerebrum or neocortex is actually divided into two hemispheres, spiritually it represents largely the mind (mental) knowledge – ‘from language up to opinion and world conception’. It’s most basic potential is responsiveness, ‘to take the lead in reacting to the environment’. Its role is the "Facilitator" who takes action, questions, argues, even fights,……it helps each of us find our unique potential and it also helps to resolve conflicts. Its energy feels and is…..’becoming aware of the physical totality. In Shamanism its direction is South West and its Power is the ‘Nature Spirits’!!!!
If we look at Man’s Temple, the human organism, here’s what we see spiritually:
The solar (soular) plexus….the great central sun which the Subconscious Mind uses and operates to evolve……to discover individual consciousness:
:
1. The upper brain (cerebrum); "The Most High", or Universal Father, which furnishes substance for all functions that constitute the body.
2. The Spiritual Ego ("I AM") resident in the cerebellum.
3. The Son of God, the redeeming seed or Jesus, born monthly in the solar plexus.
4. Soul, the fluids of the body.
5. Flesh, bone, etc., the fluids materialized. (In a broader sense body also is termed soul.
Can you see the connection here and this symbol?
I hope everyone has heard of the hippocampus….it comes from the Greek words hippo (horse) and campus “(sea creature)”. This is because the two structures, one on the right and the other on the left, are the size and shape of a little sea horse.
A major function of the hippocampus is its role in memories concerned with emotions such as scents and of things past. Over and around the corpus callosum, that unites the two halves of the cerebrum, are the cingulate gyrus.
Each cingulate gyrus plays a prominent role in regulating the autonomic nervous system, which adjusts blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, the size of the pupils, and other bodily, or psychosomatic, responses that accompany emotional feelings and reactions.
I hope I didn’t bore you to tears here! My thesis or project was on the brain!!! That’s why when Simone showed us her own created tarot cards, they right away triggered something in my brain….they really are fantastic Simone.
