"If You don't move - You don't have a brain"

I am listening to/watching a lecture video from the Singularity University (link to Harddisken - a Danish Tech Radio program - with the video: bottom of the page (about 2h). The Lecture was given by Astronaut and Engineer Dan Barry. He gives the quote that I used for this blog as a quote from a Biologists point of view.

I thought a bit about that in relation to my life. If I don't move - not in the literal sense but more the way that I act and react - I don't have a "brain". That relates to my life in general but also in my spiritual life. At times we might get into "autopilot" mode; we get up in the morning, wash, eat breakfast, drop off the kids, go to work, pick up the kids, go home, prepare & eat dinner, watch tv, go to bed. Rinse and Repeat. We might look like we are very, very busy and going somewhere in our lives. But are we really? Aren't we just automated robots?

This brings me back to LifeShapes and the Circle. If we do the above, and ignore the Kairos moments we will never move and in the sense above we have no brain - or at least we are not using our spiritual brains. So it's time to work out that "brain"! That goes especially for me!
