Yourself ( Archived) (18)

Have you ever seen yourself through the eyes of someone else that you had become?

I dont really know, I just try to go through life being a good person and try not to hurt anyone.

NOOOOOOOO...Only through my own eyes and some days that's bad enough!!!!!!!

I think it is called maturing

yeah

That's what I'm talking about....along the lines of the other thread on pain. Emotions are designed to reinforce, chemically, something into longterm memory.

The most sophisticated pharmacy anywhere is the hypothalamus(sp?) in the human brain. It manufactures neuro-peptide sequences for every emotion that we experience. Anger, sorrow, lust, happiness, fear, whatever emotional state we can experience begins as a chemical in the brain that is distributed into our body's cells.

Heroine uses the same cell receptors that the neuro-peptides use. So, it's easy to see that if we can become addicted to heroine, we can also become addicted to emotions. In my mind this helps explain patterns in our lives that have otherwise eluded us.

We experience the world emotionally long before we experience it cognitively. From a young age we are imprinted with emotional signatures. We pick them up form our parents when we are infants, we can even experience emotions in the womb through our mothers.

Emotions are not good or bad, they are a nature's way of enhancing our existence. It is our unconscious addiction to certain emotions, that cause us problems. When we are able to recognize emotions for what they are, pause a moment, and experience it without reacting to it, then we have become someone else. We are no longer trapped in the repetative cycle of stimulus, reaction. We are an observer, that is free to choose which direction to take next.

Did that only for me I was like my father and freaked.
Bad karma.
