Footprints in the Brain

Every time we hear a story we havn’t heard before, as we see it in our mind’s eye, we change forever, who we are. New stories and their accompanying images, leave ‘footprints’ in the landscape of our neurology. This is why ‘story-telling’ is such an important part of the teaching process. Ultimately, teaching is an effort to permanently change our neurology; to permanently change who we are. Each and every day we are changed in innumerable ways; this is simply fact. So we might as well try to direct and orchestrate some of those changes in ways that are beneficial to us. We are the sum of our thoughts; those thoughts can be generated from within or be stimulated from without. We have control over both. In exercising that control, we can direct some of those footprints that that leave their mark through the ever-changing landscape of our mind.
