Emotions and Conversations

The most potent stories come from an individual who first slows down and takes ownership of their actions. People often have the problem of slowing down when taking. To slow down the fast pace talking and the release of the adrenaline, make sure you ground yourself consecutively. You must analyze the current situation you're in. Then after, you must get figure out why you're doing it. Essentially you wanna ask critical questions such as, what is the current emotion that I'm feeling?, why did these emotions make me act this way?,  what evidence do I have to behave this way? Process this information externally and internally. 

It is important to be aware of your behavior, if you are constantly questioning your motives, thoughts, or other people's, you will get no where. Being aware must come deep within your heart. If you keep on giving excuses for negatives actions, you will not see the need to change. If you constantly blame other people for the faults that you create, you will not feel obligated to take a different approach to analyzing the situation that you are currently in. Consider yourself being silent or turning towards anger when you are talking to someone about a hot topic. You must act as if you are being televised to the world. You must think about how people would view your behavior, actions, words, and motives. People who master crucial conversations are aware that they are beginning to slip into some unattended emotions, but they are easily able to admit it. Therefore, it is easier to take the right actions the movement they realize that they are killing the conversation. 

Getting in touch with your feelings is a necessary skill to master conversation. You must be enthusiastic. You must connect with your heart. Explore the feelings inside of you. People commonly say, "I'm okay", when being asked how are you. Most people are emotionally illiterate, meaning it is hard for them to describe all the feelings that encompass our bodies. Sometimes they are not descriptive enough. For example when someone is usually mad, they say "I'm mad!", when in all reality, they could very well be embarrassed and shocked. You may ask yourself, why is this important, well it is significant to accurately describe your feelings, to lead to better outcome of situations. The people around you will better understand how you are feeling. In order to get in touch with your feelings you must expand your emotional vocabulary. You must have emotional control in the conversation. You have to challenge yourself to say that these emotions are not the right emotion for the circumstance. Break the illusion that the emotions created and be free to express your ideas accurately and effectively.  

Advance Mediation

It has been proven countless of times that practicing the art of mindfulness benefits you in extraordinary ways. From the latest science research to the ancient eastern teachings, meditation has helped balance people all around the world in a number of ways. How one mediates is all too important to having a successful mediation session.  Advance mediation is the proper body state, body alignment, sights, words, smells, and touch, depending on the level of state one is willing to achieve.

Researchers from University College London and Cambridge University have found evidence of a specialized mechanism in the human brain that takes in visual information about our body and triggers an instant, unconscious response. This means that how you observer the world, how you see your body, the brain automatically process the information, through these "hard-wired" systems.  In fact, the newly-discovered network triggers reactions even before the conscious brain has time to process them. A lot of times, when people get the most advance prosthetic limb, they still feel as if they are not coordinated enough, even when they practice numerous times, this information relates to this, because you have to have both the body information as well as the visual. The body works in unison, both consciously and unconsciously.  

On a whole we can view this newly discovered information and apply it to our mediation. Advance mediation is the usefulness of all the bodily sense. From the sight, smells, feelings, sounds, and movement one could ultimately produce the euphoria which one seeks. What the evidence suggest is regardless if you are not fully aware of the movements in your body and visual system, it undermines your conscious, but still has a direct impact on you. Be cautious on how you mediate, one could have a wonderful long session, or one could have aimless short session. If you do it, do it with the utmost energy, filling in all your senses with radiant energy.

Wholeness and Balance to all.

Human Nature

As we grow, we acquire traits from our peers and environment. These traits mold our behavior and relations with other people. It also has much to do on how one views the nature of man. Of course the nature of man has differences. We are not all the same. We can only cluster to those that have similar views upon the nature of man. Looking back through time, we can find three basic assumptions on human nature.  These common assumptions lead to various behavioral adaptations that one experience throughout life.

People have three common theories about human nature: humanistic, animalistic, or rational. This does not mean all people fall into one category, usually you can find people that fits in or the other, or just fits one. However the case may be surely you can gain some insight in yourself and others.

From the humanistic approach, a person is driven by humane concerns for self and others. They feel affection, mercy, and compassion. The humanistic individual is self-actualizing, meaning they seek for finding one's true potential. There is little outside control, since the humanistic individual will practice self-control through the concerns of themselves and others. 

Based on the Animalistic viewpoint, the nature of human beings is no different from that of the other animals that inhabit our planet. Driven by the biological urges and seeking gratification of those urges, human animals must be controlled by laws, morals,religion, and other forms of institutionalization. 

According to the rational theory, human beings are rational. Meaning they are inherently neither good nor evil. They are driven by intellect and reason. The individual is controlled by logical thinking and the judgement of the consequences of their actions to themselves and others. 

If we embrace the animalistic theory, we will probably approach others competitively and cautiously. We will feel the need to raise up our guard and protect ourselves. We will not trust people with information as it might be used against us. We search for ways as a society to control animalistic deviant behaviors. 

We put on a whole need pair of eyes when we view people in the humanistic approach. We will assume that people will not hurt us intentionally, therefore trusting them with information. We will be cooperative. The only control we will need in this case is knowledge. By being aware that you are doing something harmful, the humanistic person attempts to modify their behavior in accordance to one. 

If we view people as rational beings, we negotiate with them on a logical basis for mutually beneficial and compatible behaviors. We could discuss with them our feelings, attitudes, needs, and goals. We can work with them solving problems with reasonable and equal work. 

There is something about this that lets us explore ourselves deeply. One may find that one identifies with all three. When this is the case changing your nature, you have to separate the animal, rational, and human side of your soul, if you want to change one. Depending on which one you embrace you support more of the habits it entails. This could be used to help you personally grow, or help those around you grow as well. 

Till next time, Wholeness and Balance to all. 

Balancing Emotions

Sometimes emotions are meant for you to take control of and use it to fuel your creative flare. You see, when people have a strong emotion about something they are connecting an expectation to it. The connection can be good or bad. It depends on what you define as good and bad. There is no denying the fact that life is governed by two extremes. A left or a right, good or bad, light and darkness, etc. However, the real main concern is  how you utilize these emotions. For example, when I exercise, I'm not exactly feeling a peaceful emotion, I feel more of hyped energized enraged emotion that allows my body to work at maximum performance.

I'm not angry at anyone, or anything, I just feel this way boost my performance. This is why I believe that sometimes you must harness the power of negative emotions to make a point across an argument, to write down touching lyrics, and to perform with great resilience. I'm letting people know that it is okay to feel this type of emotions, even though they are necessarily negative on the frequency scale.

Consequently, too much of these emotions end up hurting you. Some scientists have agreed that the feeling of anger, leads to increases in heart rate, arterial tension and testosterone, decreases in cortisol (the stress hormone), and stimulation of your left brain hemisphere, which is involved in experiencing emotions related to closeness. These negative forces may actually drive you to make better choices and propel you to a different emotion.

Just like anger affects the left brain hemisphere, it makes you want to be closer to that object, maybe to mend things up, or to wipe the slate clean. Feeling positive vibrations actually releases some "happy" chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. Basically, emotions are the driving factors that manipulates the body's internal chemistry which in turn affect your mind. One must balance the use on both sides of the extreme. Doing so unlocks true potential in your daily life.

Wholeness and balance to everyone!

Stop Worrying

It has been proven that having built up negative emotions like worry, sadness, and anger all affect your health in a bad way. We get these emotions, because we are not satisfied with the outcome of a particular situation that you had expectations for. Stop. Expectation. Having expectations for trivial things is causing inner conflicts within you. It is one thing to have an expectation for yourself, with your goals and aspirations, that is fine, but for things out of your control like other people's emotion or life in general is where it needs to halt, for the fact that it is causing negative vibrations(emotions) on the physical plane and spiritual plane. The fact that you are thinking about it is sending a message to the universe, and the universe responds back with what you fed it. This also leads you to basically eat yourself inside making you vulnerable to many outside sinister forces. One way to combat worrying is to avoid arguments internally and externally, by keeping yourself really busy. You see it is really hard focusing on two things at once. Focusing on your work, you leave no room for those thoughts to appear in your mind. If you truly life live in the now, doing everything with the slightest detail of observation, you begin to foster a mental barrier that shields you from negative thoughts. An old saying my teacher told me one day was, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop".

Living life in the now is also a must to stop the inflictions of these negative emotions. Living life in the now basically boils down to this - for every second that passes it's now in the past, there is also a window for a second to be in the future. You cannot remain present in either or. You are constantly moving forward, along with earth traveling through space at a whopping 1000 miles per hour(1600 km/hr) , there is no reason to look in the past expect to learn from it, and leave it be. There is no need to bring up old arguments and criticize others for past mistakes. Instead focus on you in the now. Plan for the future, but do not expect for the future to act in your favor, regardless of all the planning you do, the future, is undecided, unbiased, and cold. You can't worry that the future is not going to be good, you have hope for the best. You also can't worry in the now,because regardless if you like it or not it is happening without your control.

Therefore, take life in the now, focus on your being, and perfecting yourself, before you judge the character of another. We all must obtain the higher forces within us all. Operating our mind on the highest frequencies, we will be able to progress the human race in a bold, striking force. Being able to put aside everything of fear, worry, doubt, and all the other rotten emotions, your mind is able to focus on what you want it to, so choose higher emotions, like forgiveness, love, peace, creation, and harmony. You being to see the world in a new pair of eyes. You begin to look at people unjudging knowing that they have wills of their own. Each living thing on earth has it is meaning in this universe, why shall you judge, why shall you torment your brothers and sisters, when life itself is too short, and unpredictable. Every person in their heart at some point wants success for themselves, for their family, and friends, but most of the time they are conquested by the negative destruction energy that surrounds them and blocks their creative centers, making it very difficult to obtain growth internally and externally. First begin to understand yourself, train your mind to fight these forces, focus on the now, focus on the beautiful creation of life, it's uniqueness, it's sophistication. Find balance. Bust your ass off creating things, learning new material, and developing yourself physically and emotionally. Before you leave this life, make a mark in history.

Until next time. Wholeness and Balance to all. 

Future Data Mining

Perhaps if it is not happening now, I believe as time progresses man and machine are going to be united to make huge calculations on data gathered from around the globe. You see there are companies as we speak if, not governments that gather data on the general public already, although the hackers around the net already knew about government surveillance before the Snowden revelations. Still in its premature stage, this data being collected is giving companies big advertisement advantage, selling there products based on your location in accordance to their store is one example of this form of data collection.

 One day you are walking down the street, browsing on your smartphone, nearly dodging a pole(behold humans hurting themselves idolizing technology to the fact they hurt themselves, what a glorious time we live in.), and all of a sudden on your pandora station you get an advertisement for the nearest McDonalds. But it does not stop here, I have a hunch that the government can just enter your social on their data and have your whole internet history, your nearest family and communities internet history.

With algorithms AI and humans fashion the data to predict your every move, it's like they know you better than you. So, as time moves on we have artificial intelligence being built to organize this massive data, based on the specifications of the creators, to have a total control of society's desires, furthermore, managing the direction of the globe.  As science moves down to the nanoscale, I guarantee there is secret science funding experiments making a humanoid cybernetic robot that orchestrates the internet, kinda like that movie Eagle Eye, expect, more sophisticated, insightful, and organized.

With the internet of everything coming along, it is no wonder that this data will have a significant impact on our daily lives. Although, there is a different approach of looking at this. By utilizing this data we can design our lives to manage our time more efficiently and effectively. We can gather data on infected pollutions by monitoring the number of internet searches for a specific symptoms, or monitor a population's reaction to a certain event, thereby shaping news for better coverage of events, ideas, and growth.  Just like with every technological breakthrough there's always pitfalls and advantages. However, insight beforehand can save a lot of unnecessary damages. Feel free to contact me for future discussion of this if you are interested.
