In the 1980’s there was a popular form of
therapy known as “Rational Emotive.”
It’s basic idea was that we could reason with our emotions and
talk them into behaving.
Folks that’s about as effective as a lead balloon
{ or should I say a "Led Zeppelin"?}.
Why?
Why don’t the emotions respond to reason?
Because they don’t live in that part of the brain.
The seat of our primary emotions is in our brainstem, and
the seat of our intellect in is our prefrontal cortex,
right behind the forehead.
They are completely unrelated.
All animals have a brain stem,
it’s referred to as the reptilian brain.
The reptilian brain is all about the five F’s.
Whenever it encounters any thing, being or phenomena it asks:
#1 Do I Feed on it?
#2 Do I Fu*k it?
#3 Do I Fight it?
#4 Do I Flee from it?
#5 Do I Faint before it?
It’s safe to say that reptiles have no speech,
no less, sophisticated thought process.
Likewise the reptilian brain is simply NOT wired to
respond to the logic of the higher brain.
By skillfully applying Buddha’ mental yogas we can
create a shift,
so instead of associating our selves with the emotions we
can associate our selves with that which is aware of the emotions.
That shift is your first step into a
much larger, and happier universe.
