THE PRINCIPLE OF HEARING RIGHT

What you hear, whom you hear, where you hear, determine where you will be heard- and what you will be heard saying.”
The principle of hearing right is classified aright by the bible. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the word of God”, we read. From here, we can deduce:
-Faith in the word of God comes by hearing the word of God
-Faith in the word of man comes by hearing the word of man
-Faith comes by hearing faith-filled/faith-driven/faith-driving words
-Fear comes by hearing fear-driven/fear-driving words
Actually, the ears listen to what we read. If you cannot pronounce a word i.e your ears cannot process it, it doesn’t make much sense, even if you can read it!
Hearing affects our attitudes, and I sincerely wonder how the deaf function attitudinally. We shall get to that some other day.
The human ear has 3 parts:
Ø  The outer ear- consists of the pinna and external auditory meatus
Ø  The middle ear- made up of the ear ossicles: malleus, incus and stapes
Ø  The inner ear
THE OUTER EAR


Anatomically, the pinna is the part of the ear we can see. Yes, that big fan-shaped structure which varies in size and shape from person to person.
Functionally, this part of the ear:
Ø  Collects sound
Ø  Directs sound waves into middle ear
Let us assume this part of the ear is cut off, i.e to the average person, this individual has lost an ear…what happens?
This is what happens: the individual loses the ability to locate the source of sound.
In relation to our series, it can thus be stated that the outer ear is what helps locate the source of our hearing input. Without its hearing being appropriate, the information needed cannot be collected and thus, is non-conveyable to the heart.
The  Phenomenal Earpiece

Earpieces are plugged into the external auditory meatus- i.e the passage way to the eardrum, which is the inner part of the outer ear…the one you can look into.
When we put on earpieces, this is the sequence of events which results, typically:
Wearing earpiece→ concentration of sound from a particular source→ blockage of sound from other sources→ concentrated transduction of sound waves to middle, inner ears
Actually, the usage of earpieces is a way of controlling what we hear.
And we can focus on making that positively inclined.
MED FACT: Medically, it’s been discovered that a correlation exist between an earlobe crease and Coronary Artery Disease/ other cardiovascular diseases!
Thus, physically, the outer ear could serve as a marker for heart diseases.
However, this is not only limited to the physical: the outer ear is always functioning in collecting and funneling sound- so be watchful as to the sources and characteristics of the sound it funnels. HEAR RIGHT!
More on the middle ear’s function comes up next.
Thanks for reading!

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.

#PROSE MONDAY# THE LINE

There is an arbitrary line, which once you cross, you know in your heart that you can’t step back. This is for those of us who have crossed that line and now, are somewhere betwixt full fruition and total loss… ‘If I did not dream, it would have been acceptable, If I didn’t nurse these thoughts to maturity, I would be flawlessly faultless, And if I had used adequate contraception to intercept this zygotic dream, this musing would be absolutely unnecessary, But the truth is, right now, I have lost the right to give up and as a matter of necessity, I have to reach the other line- the finish line. In and out of the labour ward, that has to be my future route. Now whether or not there’d be an after party, that’s seemingly irrelevant. Provided my baby is born! And although, like hyperbaric oxygen, the O ₂ of fierce thoughts roll through  my mind at an extremely high pressure, I have to stand. And yet, if a lumber puncture is done on my mind, there is a si...

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...
