Go deeper - Our human decision making.    By Annette O. Brown, Christian author.

Go Deeper

When a bee regards an assortment of beautiful flowers, how does it know which flower to choose for its desired need?  How does a reader determine what book to read? What are some important factors that influence human decision making?

The color of a flower is a strong determinant for bees when selecting a flower for pollen. The non-visible odor of a flower is also an important factor.  Recently, another less visible factor, has been discovered that attracts bees to flowers and that is an electric field around the flower.

“Flowers generate weak electric fields and a new study shows that bumble bees can actually sense those electric fields using the tiny hairs on their fuzzy bodies.”   (npr.org ).

A book, they say, should not be judged by it’s cover and so it is with the selection of a flower by bumble bees.  A flower’s color, like a book’s cover is not the only determining factor. The content of a book, like pollen, is in essence, the desired product for a reader.  The desired pollen from a flower is retrieved when the bee makes the right determination by using it’s relevant senses and looking for patterns that lead to pollen in a flower.

We are sensual or sense - ual beings, it is a part of our natural structure.  Sense of sight connects and intertwines with the sense of smell, taste and touch to inform us and influence our decision making process. Appearance, often the first experience we have with something, is important and conveys a very influential initial message to our minds.

Adam, the first man created and described in Genesis 2 must have had a strong sense of discernment.  His initial unbroken alignment with our Creator, God, must have allowed their communication to flow seamlessly.  We are spirit, mind and body.  There are unseen factors that influence everything.  

“Human decision making is strongly biased by unconscious mental processes that sometimes cause good outcomes quickly but sometimes cause us to make irrational choices.”  
Jeff Johnson, Designing with the Mind in Mind. 3rd edition.

When Adam selected an appropriate name for each animal, I imagine he had to go deeper in his analysis and used all of his five senses of taste, smell, sight, hearing and touch.  In addition to his five senses he had access to spiritual tools of wisdom and insight that went beyond the natural environment.  

A clarion call today, I believe, is for all of us to go deeper in are process of sense making.  The quality of the content in a book, the essence, like the pollen in a flower, is acquired by going deeper.  Let’s take a deeper dive by using our God given spiritual discernment.

With our heavenly Father we acquire the guidance, understanding and truth that we need in everyday living.  Let’s go deeper in acquiring understanding. Let’s go deeper into the meditation of the word of God to gain understanding, revelation and truth. There is so much, especially in this world today, that we should not take at face value.
