The 5 sanctums of the brain
humans do not have much knowledge about their own brains, although considerable progress is being made and we are starting to explore the brain. These "5 sanctums" I made do not necessarily exist in the brain, in fact they they definitely do not, but i found it interesting to put different human qualities into different sections.
The knowledgable- This is the sanctum of the brain where cold hard logic is put to place. This brain contains everything you have learned that is pure fact, information remembered from what you learned in your education makes up a big part of the knowledgable. In addition, you may use this knowledge in every day life extensively if you are a certain profession. This sanctum contains information about certain people that you do not know personally, and the information is usually not altered, but rather improved when new information is added on.
The intrapersonal- The intrapersonal sanctum of your brain contains information about yourself and how you may regard youself through your life. Since the image of yourself is constantly under scrutiny and change, this is often a highly active sanctum of your brain. Things in this sanctum are not nessecarily true, but nevertheless deemd extremely important by yourself. This is also one of the most cluttered sanctums of your brain often, which needs to be cleaned out often. It contains experiences in your life which are usually either not remembered or passed to the inferential sanctum of your brain. This part of your brain often effects how you carry yourself, how you talk, and how you act in public asa you try to represent a certain image in the other persons’ mind of yourself.
The interpersonal- The interpersonal sanctum of the brain is dedicated to your relationships with other people. It helps you decide what you think of other people and effects how you view other people. Friends and family may undergo scrutiny from this part of the brain which has the job of deciding the true nature of these people.
The inferential- The inferential sanctum of the brain is responsible for combining information from the other sanctums, especially the knowledgable, to make inferences about a something. It is ultimately a quick tool to decide what you should do based on experiences. It is also responsible for putting a label on something, called stereotyping. This brain may sometimes think deeply, but not nearly as deeply as the spiritual.
The spiritual or philosophical- This sanctum of your brain incorporates the most deep thinking, and tires your brain out quickly. This part of your brain is involved in think about the greater meaning in life, combining the other four sanctums together to decide where we came from, who we are, and why we are here. This sanctum of the brain seeks to discover other creatures as intelligent then us often, discover a divine nature in every one of us, discover a god, or discover the beauty of nature. In fact, this part of our brain is so powerful that it can often fool us into thinking beliefs unsupported by evidence. It is important to use this part of the brain as it is necessary to stay healthy, but also to treat it with caution.
