Despite perceptual gaps or blindness, humans can always hold closer to reality and become better versions of themselves. This process occurs between impulse and self-control. If we learn to control ourselves and become architects of our lives, we can have a perfect work life, stronger relationships, and better mental health. If it is better to resist life’s temptations, why do we find it easier to surrender to perceptual gaps? By not repeating the same things constantly, humans can escape their ignorance and start questioning, thereby forming the reality links between dreams and facts.

It can be easily said that there is a direct proportional relationship between “our mental health” and “what we live for.” The satisfactions experienced in the mental region will facilitate and accelerate our exchange with Hola (Whole). Just as all winds help a ship with a determined course, the entire universe helps a person who knows what they want. It opens itself to fulfill their desires. As long as a meeting in the common mind can be realized…

How can we establish the connection between the mind and the physical body, more importantly, between the mind and our brain? We can use breath as an intermediary or bridge for this. In this way, we can control and regulate all the activities of our mind. In a world where you can break the wave function of subatomic particles in the moment with intention or even just inclination beyond thoughts, we can sustain our destiny in a reality-appropriate orbit just by thinking. This situation reminds us once again of the importance of using the mind. Therefore, the life architect uses their diagram by breathing through their nose and tries to control life by taking correct and sufficient breaths.

The mind and heart are nothing but two different words used to explain the same phenomenon of human adequacies. It is defined as the heart in the physical body. In this respect, the Essence, which finds its place in the heart, is in communication with Hola, takes on responsibilities, is punished, rewarded, valued as it knows itself, falls into nothingness as it chases its own ego, is considered valuable, despised, knows and can reflect everything, and is the brightest mirror of existence. Whatever we call it; essence, heart, or mind, it is the only treasure and talisman we have that keeps us together with the whole and allows us to understand the universe. The Essence, with its feature of being both comprehending and comprehended, enters the astral and biological body and mind with it. The Essence is the eye of the astral body, and the mind and will are its soul, energy, and inner dynamism. The names given to entities by people are words that describe that entity in the most concise way, elevate it to the mind, and visualize it in the mind. Therefore, to avoid conceptual confusion, I prefer to call the capacity and system of performing such activities of the Essence as the mind.

In the mind system, beliefs and preconceptions are of great importance. You cannot even imagine what a believing mind can achieve. I want to share a life story as an example of this. The story of a convict named Nick, who was to be executed in the USA, is quite interesting. Nick is taken to an ice room to be executed. He is given the following suggestion: “The room temperature is currently 30 degrees, and the temperature will be lowered by one degree every minute. An alarm will sound every 10 minutes. This sound indicates that the temperature has dropped by 10 degrees.” Nick begins to wait. As he hears the alarm every ten minutes, he feels his body getting colder. After the third alarm, Nick starts to shiver because he understands that the temperature is zero degrees. After the fourth alarm, while thinking that the cold is unbearable, he remembers what he has done throughout his life. After the fifth alarm, he senses how close death is and feels the cold penetrating his bones, becoming unable to respond. The sixth alarm is the last sound Nick hears before he dies. He has frozen to death.” The interesting part of this story is that the temperature, which was said to drop every minute, actually did not drop and remained constant. In other words, while Nick was in a room with a temperature of plus 30 degrees, he felt the temperature touching his body as minus 30 degrees because he had a strong belief that the temperature was dropping.

The mind allows us to ask questions unique to the human species: ‘Why are we here? What is the purpose of our life? What do we live for? Are these important questions asked only by brain cells?’ Is human thought, reasoning, decision-making, and creativity merely the opening and closing of neurons in the brain? While answering this question, two main streams of thought have clashed. Materialists claim that the mind is nothing more than the functioning of the brain. However, dualists argue that an immaterial essence added to the brain forms the mind, that is, our conscious self. Recently, scientist Wilder Penfield concluded that the mind is more than the activity of the brain.

When the mind is decisive and regulatory in life, the power of realization becomes the form of passion and excitement for realization. From this perspective, it can be accepted that the mind and passion should show and form an understanding of the future. Defining a future understanding that includes the last moment of our life and perhaps the afterlife, which Ziya Gökalp calls an ideal, development experts call vision, and we call future understanding, is among the first duties of the mind. If a future understanding cannot be formed, the reason for existence, that is, the mission, disappears. Then, like a ship that has lost its course, a person does not know what to do, swaying from right to left and left to right. Life loses its meaning, and no wind can help it.

In a scientific study conducted in Germany, scientists proved that our brain has already made decisions 6 seconds before our choices or behaviors. In fact, a person implements a decision made by the brain 6 seconds before they say they have decided. Is it the brain that makes the decision, or is it implementing a decision that has been made?

A concept that can be explained as the collective mind is now accepted by scientists. Experiments conducted in various parts of the world have proven that humans and animals make the same choices in similar events and phenomena. Dr. Penfield asked himself, “What happens when the mind is lost?” He said, “If we believe that the mind exists independently of the brain, the mind should be viewed as a fundamental element in itself… This means it has a continuing existence.” He speculated, “If the mind survives after death, it must be connecting with an energy source outside the brain. If not, the mind, like the body and brain that die and turn to dust, is lost forever.” We all want to know what happens to us or our minds when we die, whether we are barbers or butchers. The answer also explains the main purpose of our existence.

Starting from the premise “There is no void in the universe, or every void is filled in some way,” when the mind does not fulfill its duty, that void will be filled either by reason or pleasure. This puts a person in the situation of a cell that shows abnormal growth and development due to improper nutrition. In other words, after a while, the cell’s tissue deteriorates and becomes cancerous because it obtains energy from substances outside its nature to continue its life. Similarly, if a person does not form an understanding of the future with their mind or forgets or chooses to live as if they have forgotten the future understanding they have formed, the mind is divided into selves under the command of pleasure and becomes unable to see anything other than itself. This increases the pleasure of the essence. In short, this forgetting triggers all destructions. The antidote to this situation is to form an understanding of the future and maintain balance in the choices that give pleasure to our physical body.

In summary, whatever a person lives for, the collective mind puts everything into achieving it and supports it. Our mind regulates our connection with the universe and Hola and sends it to the brain, that is, the intellect, to be realized in life. The brain constantly restructures itself in light of new data to realize the desires coming from the mind. With this restructuring, it creates its own self-awareness by staying balanced in the ordinary flow of life. The best structuring to perceive reality can only be achieved with positive energy that includes an understanding of ethics, aesthetics, and empathy and brings out the thoughts of flexibility and optimism.

A self-centered person living in a negative orbit only thinks of themselves. As a result, they begin to become selfish. Seeing everything negatively and attributing meaning to it results in finding themselves in a very bad life according to their perspective. In contrast, a person who knows the truth, lives in a positive orbit, always thinks correctly, and has good morals finds themselves in a very beautiful life according to their perspective.

We need to know that we are the architects of our own lives. A balanced life can only be achieved through the design of the heart and taking the mind into account, and a person should passionately pursue achieving this. Thus, the curtains that fall over a person, making life seem meaningless and preventing them from being themselves, are removed one by one.

You too can live and see the beauties by staying balanced in the natural flow of life. In fact, you have started to live the perceptions closest to reality in life, and whether you want it or not, this state will continue like a passion until you die.

I wish and hope that you stay at the closest point to reality in the natural flow of life, and instead of just wishing, start wanting it…

Brain; defined as the organ or mind consisting of nerve masses shaped like two
hemispheres covered with brain membranes inside the skull, where sensory and
consciousness centers are located. It also refers to the astral part; reasoning, judgment,
intellect, and understanding. Our brains/minds explore the potential to achieve our goals and
avoid dangers. It can be considered the power of realization in life.

The brain is composed of neurons responsible for transmitting nerve signals. A nerve cell or
neuron is the fundamental functional unit of the nervous system. Its main function is to carry
out information transfer. It is estimated that there are approximately 100 billion neurons in
the human nervous system. A typical nerve cell is connected to 50,000-250,000 other
neurons.

The brain is in constant motion, demonstrating that nothing in life is permanent. Yet, as they
say, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Despite blind spots in our vision,
we never actually see black spots. The reason we don’t see black spots is that our brains
are excellent at predicting what should be there and automatically filling in the gaps.
Sometimes we know what we want to see. Our neocortex takes that expectation and
transforms it into a kind of virtual reality. This implies that part of the world we perceive is an
optical illusion. The idea of how vulnerable this makes us is, indeed, quite frightening.

Imagination; described as something conceived, visualized, and desired to come true in the
mind—an image, a dream, something vaguely perceived, a shadow. In contrast, thought is
defined as the ultimate reality that exists beyond space and time, outside the subject,
perceptible only by the soul—not through the senses—reflecting the external world in the
human mind. It encompasses intention, design, idea, concept, and concern.

Each human being born with billions of neurons can be considered equal to others in terms
of starting life. Sometimes the millions of neurons firing in our brains help us create detailed
scenarios. We imagine finding the person of our dreams or landing our dream job.
Sometimes we become astronauts, other times rock stars. But dreams can also take a dark
turn. We start believing there’s a monster under the bed or that malevolent forces are
conspiring against us. Good or bad, these dreams are part of our human responsibility.
If we allow our dreams to overshadow our thoughts, we may fail to see the truth right in front
of us. Often, we imprison ourselves in fear, but the reality isn’t always as bleak as we
imagine.

Mind; the totality of mental processes and activities beyond emotions and behaviours. It
encompasses memory, perception, understanding, consciousness, and intellect. The mind is
one of the perfect software programs that connect us to the whole.

Can people truly change? Is our personality genetically preprogrammed, or can it evolve?
The science of neuroplasticity tells us that our brains have the capacity to change and
develop throughout our lives. Our experiences rewrite our identity. Things we once thought
impossible or unimaginable can become part of our reality. They can inspire new ideas and
thoughts, as well as valuable lessons. These lessons make us less prone to repeating past
mistakes.

So, how do we discover our blind spots? How can we truly see the reality before our eyes? A
good starting point is to open our minds. As French philosopher Henri Bergson said, “The
eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”

Perception, which can be explained as becoming aware of something by directing attention
to it, consists of data stored in the mind. The mind, in turn, serves these records to the brain
to define events, phenomena, and individuals and to communicate. From another
perspective, the mind can be considered the supplier for the brain. When the brain is hasty
and fast, it creates well-intentioned perceptions to fill gaps between data and rescue humans
from blind spots, especially during moments of boredom or when the mind slows down.

The term “gap” is described as a hollow, cavity, unclosed place, emptiness, interruption,
disconnection, time passing without activity, deficiency, and feeling of lack. It is known that
humans have many gaps and fill them with assumptions.

The crucial distinction we need to emphasize here, which will affect us throughout our lives,
is how we shape information based on our own perception. The more accurately we
understand this information with our subjectivity, the better choices we make in life and
experience happiness. The data we receive through our senses is physical and lifeless. Data
takes shape not only from its own reality but also according to our perception. In other
words, we assign meaning to data. This meaning, in proportion to our ability to decipher the
hidden messages within the data, allows us to interpret reality and truth according to our own
understanding. Interpreting data received becomes a journey to uncover the mysteries and
enchantments of the universe.

However, gaps between perceptions and deviations from reality during data transfer are
filled by the brain in its own professional way. The perceptual gap is nothing more than the
deception caused by perceptions we strongly believe in, even those we consider real. It is an
illusion, given our awareness that our eyes or senses function properly. It is a departure from
reality. To say that in the vastness of the physical universe, where one in a million can notice
something, even that ratio cannot capture blind spots, is not a prophecy.

When our brains encounter something to believe in, they reward us. Belief feels good and
comforting. But how can we trust our belief systems when our brains operate purely on
emotional reactions? By balancing it with critical thinking. By questioning everything and
always, always remaining open to other possibilities… Flexibility is a magic spell that can
solve all problems.

Interpreting with conscious awareness will prevent us from falling into the error of
gaps. Conscious awareness means living alongside the miracles in the ordinary flow of life.

To unlock enchantments, what are the starting point and the eleven-kilometer milestone? In the hierarchy of common characteristics among entities formed by the smallest living unit, the cell, and the combination of cells, “understanding and interpretation” ranks at the forefront. In the process of understanding and interpretation, “words” are employed. Similar to the “0s and 1s” used in computer software… Although quantum mechanics attempts to express infinite possibilities by adding “2” to “0s and 1s,” this information alone excites humans.

It involves choosing a path not by individually testing each route in a labyrinth, but by assuming the role of an observer and selecting the way out from a bird’s-eye view of all paths. We can also call this process “conscious awareness.”

Data is collected through “feelings” during this process, including astral sensations. The mind processes this data using “reason” and stores it in the subconscious. Unintentionally, records can also form. These serve as references for our astral and physical preferences and are defined as “perception.” The brain, the world’s most powerful processor, performs these tasks systematically and comprehensively. In the frontal lobe of our brain, we can refer to frequently used records as “preconceptions.” Following recording, “willpower and performance” come into play. Information is continually transmitted from the subconscious to the conscious mind for this purpose.

Achieving the desired outcome is veiled in mystery. Behind the brain, the heart of the only conscious being in the universe—the human—takes charge. When embarking on this process, the heart employs one of two mechanisms within itself: the “conscience mechanism” and the “desire (pleasure) mechanism.” In reality, our lives unfold and persist under the leadership of the heart. In heart-led living, the goal is always to leap to a “higher orbit (state).”

Life and nature flow positively. However, negative currents, rooted in self-love and jealousy, emerge when we fail to align with life’s natural flow and resist acceptance.

According to the “reflection theory,” every positive and negative state reflects in our experiences and finds its place. After all, our life choices yield nothing other than consequences. While positive reflections signify abundance and prosperity, negative reflections manifest as illness and deprivation.

Perhaps, as individuals with “fuzzy logic,” you’ll discover that everything in life is nothing but “energy” as you unravel the universe’s secrets through the “enchantments” you receive from shared experiences. Activating energy depends on the inclinations of “intention and perspective.”
