Episode Segment: From Knowledge to Knowing – How to Activate Your Dormant Brain and Access Inner Tuition

Host: Derrick Abaitey

Date: November 26, 2025

Main Theme

This episode explores the profound difference between externally acquired knowledge and true inner knowing, emphasizing how to awaken and activate the dormant (right) side of the brain. The conversation delves into the limitations of traditional learning, the value of intuition ("inner tuition"), and spiritual alignment by turning inward. Derrick Abaitey and his guest discuss overcoming limiting beliefs and achieving higher consciousness, moving listeners from the pursuit of information to genuine self-realization and peace.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. External Action vs. Inward Attention

The episode opens by highlighting humanity’s compulsion to continually seek answers outwardly, only to find that fulfillment and realization require turning within.
- Quote: "We move, it doesn't move. And it's like you are compelled to awaken. You are compelled to turn the attention inward, you see." (A, 00:00)
Crises and life challenges are framed as catalysts that shake people into considering a more spiritual, inward approach.

2. The Two Hemispheres of the Brain and Modern Imbalance

The guest (A) explains the left and right hemispheres: the left is associated with analytical, external-focused activity, while the right is tied to intuition and inner peace.
- Most people today predominantly use the left hemisphere, ignoring the dormant right side which helps connect to intuition and a sense of inner divinity.
- Quote: "This generation is unnatural to move with one leg alone. We have two legs, so we have two brain compartments and we are functioning with one side." (A, 04:57)
Awakening the right hemisphere is described as key to accessing genuine "flow," peace, and balance.

3. From Learning to Knowing

Derrick (B) presses on how the guest’s apparent deep knowledge aligns with the notion that knowledge itself is not enough to connect with the divine.
- The guest distinguishes between book knowledge and inner knowing, stressing that real awakening comes not from outside study but from inward experience.
- Quote: "Truly speaking, when I'm speaking like this, it's like a flow. It is not like book learning… it's not a question of learning. Learning from outside is not the answer. But let the flow come to balance it." (A, 03:45)

4. Spiritual Texts as Pointers, Not Endpoints

Derrick asks whether revered texts like the Bible, Zohar, Torah, and others should be abandoned.
- The guest responds that such texts are guides or pointers, not the truth itself.
- Quote: "All these things... they are pointers to the truth. They point to your very self inside. So once you can pick it correctly, then they have served a purpose for you." (A, 05:51)
The essential “kingdom of God is within you” teaching (Luke 17:20) is cited, emphasizing inner discovery over external seeking.

5. The Search for Truth: A Parable

The guest offers a metaphor likening the spiritual search to someone searching everywhere for keys that are right beside them, highlighting how people bypass the essence of their search by focusing on externalities.
- Quote: "We bypass where the truth is, searching for it in scripture. Scripture is only a pointer to it, you see." (A, 07:29)
Derrick shares a similar analogy of a trapped fly overlooking the open window, reinforcing the lesson that liberation is simple once the correct perspective is found.

6. On Spiritual Societies and Hierarchies

The discussion shifts to spiritual societies (e.g., Freemasonry, Theosophical Society, etc.) and their hierarchical systems of enlightenment.
- The guest (A) frames the physical, mental, and spiritual as a hierarchy of consciousness, stating that only by moving past bodily and overly mental focus can one approach true spiritual realization.
- Quote: "External zone is only 4% and the inner zone is 96%." (A, 09:50)

Transcript

A (0:00)

We move, it doesn't move. And it's like you are compelled to awaken. You are compelled to turn the attention inward, you see. So outward we move, we move, we move. Then we reach a point. Nietzsche is saying, no, no, no, no, you're in the wrong direction and you don't hear, you still want to go. Then issues a lot of things. That is why certain disasters, they are too strong on the world. When it happens, it's just to shake people so that it's like now they want to listen, you see. So those who are doing like that, they will all come upon things that are too challenging for they themselves who are doing that. They say you have to only carry love energy for other beings. But taking advantage of them is not love energy, it's selfish energy, you see? And selfish is not from the spirit. Selfish is from the things put out. The first put out is mind, second put out is the physical, you see? So these things have their attributes and when you carry those attributes, makes you selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish.

Let me stop you here for a minute. We are on a journey of changing the minds and the lives of people. So if you haven't subscribed and become part of the family, please hit the subscribe button and turn on the notification. Thank you. Now, let's carry on with the conversation. You know, you mentioned that it is not knowledge that you know connects you to God. Yeah, but it's actually something within that connects you to God. Yeah, but you seem quite red. You are very learned. So I'm just trying to marry the knowledge you have and then also your connection to the divine. If it wasn't the knowledge, then how would that have happened?

A (2:05)

Right, Great, great question, great question. Now let me come to something very specific. See, say you are in the drama. You are designed in such a way. We come to the physical side. Your body, your brain is having two hemispheres, left, right and the left side, when it is very active, it keeps you in external affairs, bonding you externally. See, we wouldn't say it's wrong, but when it says seek first the kingdom, then the right side of the brain has to be activated. So those in the Iron age human state, the right side of the brain is not active. That one connects with intuition, guidance, everything from spirit now comes forward. That is where the peace can start to be felt. That is where the magnetism gets boosted through. But in this generation we're functioning with the left side of the brain very active and the right side is dormant. All over the world it's happening like that. And it brings about struggles and we forget who we are. The right side of the brain helps you to remember the peace and the magnetism in you, the God in you. So when I was talking about the theta brainwave, it is when you are activating the right side of the brain, then you come to that state where you are so peaceful. And once that is happening, then it will really get the flow. Intuition means inner intuition. So it's no more learning from books. Or somebody said this, somebody said that. Truly speaking, when I'm speaking like this, it's an example. I'm saying it's like a flow. It is not like book learning. I've learnt, learnt, learnt, learnt. You see, I learned, but at a point I came to the understanding. It's not a question of learning, it's not a question of learning. Learning from outside is not the answer. But let the flow come to balance it. And that is where you begin to be a balanced human. And you function in a wonderful way. So this generation is unnatural to move with one leg alone. We have two legs, so we have two brain compartments and we are functioning with one side. We want to move along with that one side. We want to move along. Like if you are walking with only one leg, it's not possible. You see, you pull one forward and you want to pull the same one forward again. That is the difficulty. So once the other side is activated, then the peace flows, then the magnetism comes and the flow of knowledge, everything. So there are two kinds of knowledge. So when I said we need to put aside knowledge, it means knowledge acquired through the world, that is through the left side of the brain.
