1. Throughout the day, am I meant to be immersed in the activity I am doing completely? Or is my awareness meant to be on myself and my three brains? Or both (is that multi-tasking?) For example while I am driving, am I paying attention to what I see or to how I’m reacting? If I am in conversation with someone, am I focusing on them and what they are saying or on how I react/ feel/ think? Or both?
2. How can we transform impressions in the moment they happen without losing focus of what we are doing? Especially without suppressing our reaction?
3. Can you please clarify intellect? How can we understand things without reasoning? What is the type of reasoning that doesn’t let us advance in the path?
4. Is it possible to be meditating throughout the day while doing other activities? Or is this day-dreaming? This has been my highest level of comprehension so far, to be thinking about a situation for a long time and digging deeper and deeper to see what could be going on. I feel that I have had more understanding and objective views on things through almost obsessive analysis. Might this be hindering my efforts to truly meditate? Or is it meditation already?
5. How can I balance the three brains in the case I use one more than the others? How can we tell if there is an imbalance?
Thank you for your responses on my other questions, by the way. They haven’t gone unnoticed, but I wish to truly understand what you all have explained before replying. Many thanks always.

1. You need to learn to watch everything that is going on from the point of view of your active consciousness. Be that silent observer who sees everything that is going in on with your bodies: the activity you are doing physically, the sensation you feel when someone touches you, the emotional reaction you feel inside you at that moment, the thoughts that you think, etc. You can learn to see all of it at once serenely, if you make the effort to just be your consciousness and stay aware that everything else is something external. Other than that, just do what you are doing, be present in the moment.
2. Impressions come in all sizes and intensities. Impressions that are "easy" for us to digest can be handled easily while staying focused. Other times the impression might be very strong and overwhelming (because we feel identified with that impression / scene). Then it might be good to disengage the situation and fight to let go of the impulses we feel, so that out three brains listen to the consciousness again. There is a big difference between letting go of a reaction and suppressing it. This is something that we have to learn practically in daily life. When you receive an impression, stay serene and observant, remember your divinity. This way you will be able to notice the impulses and reactions that are arising. If you then manage to not identify with them but see them for what they are, you will be able to act correctly.
3. If you observe the process of understanding carefully within yourself, you might notice that the actual understanding happens non-verbally, silently and spontaneously within your consciousness. Then the intellect has to "catch" all of the inspiration that you receive and sort it into words, concepts, ideas, etc. The intellect acts as a connector between inspiration/understanding and our lower aspects. Unfortunately our current civilization is used to only used to use the intellect, not the superior consciousness. The intellect can only repeat concepts, ideas, ideologies, memories. It does not create them. This is why you see those who love their intellect, how they mentally circle around the same ideas and concepts, describe them from different perspectives, etc. But they never formulate something new or revolutionary. We need to surpass our intellectual state, because we want to awaken our consciousness. The consciousness is that which experiences, which attains Gnosis, not the intellect.
4. Meditating throughout the day means to do what is described in step 1. above. Observe actively, remember divinity and relax what ever is arising (muscles, thoughts, emotions). The goal is to dwell in that observant state naturally and without effort. Does it take a lot of effort to be that way right now? Then you have work to do. Always return to being the silent observer withing your bodies, as many times as you are distracted by impressions and scenes.
5. The brains become imbalanced when we overuse one but do not use the other. If we have an intellectual job, then chances are good that we use up all the energy of our intellectual brain during the day. This means that we need to use the other two brains in order to get balance. Listen to beautiful classical music in order to exercise your emotional brain. Go for a walk in order to activate your sexual-instinctive-motoric brain. It would be a bad idea to have an intellectual job and then to keep using the intellect for the rest of the day. If one brain is depleted of energy, then it will use the energy of the other brains, which result with a strong imbalance and negative psychological consequences.
