Publisher's Synopsis
The metaphor of a Train and train driver Carl and his family (wife Alice, children Mike and Betty) illustrates how our potential in life is connected to the balance of our minds, bodies, and hearts. By uniting our energies through collaboration and understanding, we create a powerful force that enriches our lives and propels us forward. Embracing this harmony allows us to thrive and soar. Just as a train's speed depends on fuel, our progress relies on listening to ourselves and finding harmony.
BRAIN TRAIN LOADED WITH IMAGES is the first volume of BRAIN WORKING WITH LIFE INTELLIGENCE COMICS SERIES. The comic "Brain Train Loaded with Images " shows how parents, often unknowingly, teach children that knowing equates to labeling in the brain with the image of the object seen and is based on thought. Using the train metaphor, it illustrates a scenario in which parents Carl and Alice show their young children Mike and Betty pictures of animals. When parents ask the children what an animal is and provide the name (e.g., "rabbit"), the children learn to associate knowing with labeling. Although children already recognise the animal, they wrongly believe they need a name to know or understand it. This pattern continues as children start applying labels to emotions like anger, sadness, and happiness, even without visual cues, leading them to mistakenly associate feelings with labels in the brain rather than direct experiences. Labeling is not knowing. Children must be encouraged to face directly the emotions they face in each present moment, such as anger, irritation, sadness, happiness, etc., rather than recollecting experiences of that emotion from memory stored in the brain.
