Plasticity of Possibilities: How Brain Plasticity Shapes Beliefs and Personal Development

Before understanding how the brain works, we need to understand the properties and behavior of our brain. For example, you pass through an experience and the experience needs to create a permanent scar (marks) on the mind. I would say you do not completely pass through the experience, a residue of that experience is left and the residue of the experience is called conditioning.

Have you ever heard about the property of the material called Elasticity, For Example when a rubber or plastic is banned (stretched) and released, it comes back to its previous shape called elasticity. Just like elasticity brain has an almost similar property in that it keeps registering everything. Every experience that the brain goes through leaves a permanent scar or mark on it. This is called the plasticity of the brain. The plasticity itself is a source of conditioning.

Think like this, whatever happens to you in days in or days out, every single experience leaves a scar, a mark, a stain on the mind, this is called conditioning. Now you have a clear understanding of brain conditioning and plasticity.

If you don’t try to help yourself if you don’t understand yourself and do not find out who you are actually, the original version of you then nothing will change. Like your family background, how you’re brought up, or even a single incident of a road accident that happened many years ago in front of you and you see people are not helping others which makes you believe that society is so cruel.

If you don’t try to help yourself if you don’t understand yourself and did not find out who you are actually, the original version of you then nothing will change.

So, you pass through an experience, what does this experience give, it provides knowledge. So, now you understand the brain, you should understand the knowledge also. Knowledge is the mark of any experience in memory. You go through an experience and the memory of that experience is called knowledge one thing you must remember is all knowledge is necessarily from the past.

Before we understand how the brain works, we need to understand the properties and behavior of our brain. For example, you pass through an experience and the experience needs to create a permanent scar (marks) on the mind. I would say you do not completely pass through the experience, a residue of that experience is left and the residue of the experience is called conditioning.

A memory is a recollection of a sequence of events, which is called knowledge whereas that knowledge is not the data, not the information but it is leaving a permanent mark on the thinking process itself, which is called conditioning.

For Example, you normally hear that the first boy in your class has very good knowledge, why? Because every year he or she scored the highest marks in exams? This is not because of knowledge but because of the information, he gathered for his exam. Now you differentiate between knowledge and information.

For example, in childhood, you have a bad experience when you are playing with a dog and you have negative thinking about dogs that every dog is harmful. Till the time you see other kids playing and enjoying themselves with dogs. Till the time you did not try to play with dogs and did not try to modify your belief, you may live with this conditioning that “every dog is harmful”. But the reality is not every dog is harmful.

It was the situation that makes you feel that way but the reality is different. It is very hard to overcome or modify any belief that you have because it is a reality to you at that moment. Later in this blog, I will provide you with some tools to do this step by step.

This is the reason why when you slowly try to modify your belief that sits inside you, you will get a strong resistance from your inside because one portion of your brain does not like to change or does not want to come out of your comfort zone.
