The Emotional Curve

Kanye-West1

Reference: Mindfulness Approach

.

The weighted center of the mental matrix is perceived as the “I” of the person. It directs attention at parts of the matrix to activate them. The activation of the matrix forms thoughts. The cumulative effect of thoughts appears as emotional charge. This charge acts on the endocrine system of the body, which makes the body exert effort.

Thus, emotion is the direct index of the state of the mental matrix or “I” that is also reflected in the state of the body. The effort manifested in the body is then perceived back by the mental matrix. Accomplishment of intended effort discharges the emotional charge.

When there is a sudden drop in the emotional state of a person, we have an emotional curve. It comes about with the realization of failure or inadequacy. A person has at least one emotional curve in their past. Contemplation on the emotional curve leads straight to the incident, which gave the person his computation.

In this exercise the student focuses on a time when he was happy and suddenly was made sad. He contemplates on it until the actual emotional charge comes up . He fully experiences the emotions and contemplates on the incident over and over until the emotional charge is fully gone. One should be extremely thorough about discharging the emotional curve.

.

EXERCISE: The Emotional Curve

PURPOSE: To discharge the sudden emotional downturns in one’s life.

PREREQUISITE:  In case of extreme discomfort, return to the exercise Accessibility of Memory.

GUIDING PRINCIPLE: The Discipline of Mindfulness

STEPS:

  1. Focus your attention on a time when you were happy and suddenly were made sad. Let the data come up and freely associate. Continue with this contemplation until a memory of sudden emotional downturn comes up with full force.

  2. Experience those emotions fully without holding anything back. You may get into grief discharges, fear discharges or anger discharges. Experience them over and over until the charge is fully gone. Be extremely thorough about discharging the emotional curve.

  3. Make sure you let the mind carry out its associations naturally without being directed. In case there is increasing mental stress, return to the exercise Accessibility of Memory. 

  4. Repeat the above steps to discharge other emotional curves from your life. The exercise is completed when no more emotional curves are coming up.

  5. Continue with this exercise in, at least, 20 minutes long sessions until it is completed.

The Unassimilated Perceptions

businessman being pulled by strings like a puppet

Reference: Mindfulness Approach

.

Normally the perceptions are continually assimilated in the mental matrix as they are received. The assimilated matrix then creates thoughts, which generate emotional charge to trigger required physical responses in the body.

The mental matrix in humans is extremely sensitive. Therefore, traumatic shocks are walled off to prevent damage. The perceptions of such shock then exist at the core of a node that cannot be assimilated in the mental matrix. This unassimilated node is an experience, complete with thoughts, emotions, and efforts, occupying a precise place in space and a moment in time. The contents of this node remain hidden from the person. A person is only aware of the data assimilated in the mental matrix.

The computations arising from a restimulated unassimilated node then impinge on the mental matrix. The person does not understand such computations, so he is forced to justify them. All irrational thinking, and the resulting obsessions and compulsions are generated by these computations.

The purpose of this mindfulness exercise is to locate the unassimilated nodes and help unveil their contents (which primarily consists of shocks). When these contents are allowed to assimilate with the rest of matrix, the irrational computations resolve and the consequent aberrations disappear.

.

EXERCISE: The Unassimilated Perceptions

PURPOSE: To locate the unassimilated node.

PREREQUISITE: In case of increasing discomfort return to the exercise Accessibility of Memory.

GUIDING PRINCIPLE: The Discipline of Mindfulness

STEPS:

  1. Focus your attention on the unwanted condition you want to resolve. Let the mind freely associate all data related to this condition without being directed.

  2. Let the unwanted condition narrow down to a specific situation that is persisting. Contemplate on this situation with the idea of locating the underlying computation.

  3. Let the underlying computation present itself. Contemplate until this computation narrows down to become very specific.

  4. Notice some obvious physical aberration, which is persisting because of that computation. Follow down the effort it will take to generate that aberration.

  5. Educate yourself in recalling efforts by making a present time effort and then recalling it.

  6. Focus on the effort required to generate the deficiency the person has. Contemplate on it until an incident from past comes up. This is the most critical step. It may take a long time.

  7. Contemplate on that incident in detail. Broaden your viewpoint as much as possible to look at every detail of this incident. Continue to do so until you recover the emotions encysted in that incident.

  8. Experience those emotions fully. Continue to experience them until all tension is discharged from those emotions. As you do so your tone may improve from apathy through grief, fear, anger, antagonism and boredom to cheerfulness.

  9. Focus on the postulates buried under those emotions. You need to recover these postulates to finally assimilate this “unassimilated node” into your mental matrix.

  10. Contemplate on these postulates to clean up all the anomalies associated with them. The ultimate relief comes when all anomalies are resolved.

  11. Continue with this exercise in, at least, 20 minutes long sessions until it is completed.

Start, Stop and Change

Swing
Reference: Mindfulness Approach

.

A child has a natural sense of justice. Being small, it is difficult for him to always defend it. He may answer the injustice done to him by wishing off the injury or illness upon another. This failing, he takes it himself. As he gets sympathy for his injury or illness, he starts to use that as a “protest” to the injustice done to him. Thus, when a person is cutting a sorry figure by being sick, he is actually protesting some wrong done to him.

The basic efforts are to be, and not to be. These resolve into the efforts to start, to stop, to change, not to start, not to stop and not to change. In this exercise the student simply looks at the memories of starting, stopping and changing (moving) things, or not, to implement his sense of order and justice.

The steps of this exercise are similar to those of Accessibility of Memory. The student lets the memory come up naturally and does not force the mind. If no memory comes up then he moves to the next step.

The whole idea of this exercise is to jog into memory the past painful and/or emotional incidents so that the pain and emotion can be discharged properly.  To accomplish this, go over the incident from start to finish several times. Each time look at that incident more closely, until all the charge (tension) reduces.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the “incident”, which comes up could be a chain of similar incidents. In that case you must discharge the pain and emotion from the whole chain, by scanning it repeatedly.

.

EXERCISE: Start, Stop and Change

PURPOSE: To look at the efforts to implement a sense of order and justice.

PREREQUISITE:  In case of increasing discomfort return to the exercise Accessibility of Memory.

GUIDING PRINCIPLE: The Discipline of Mindfulness

STEPS:

  1. Focus your attention on the first item from the following list. Contemplate upon it to see if it triggers a memory.

  2. If a memory comes up view the physical perceptions connected with that memory. If any emotion comes up experience it fully until it discharges. 

  3. See if there is another memory connected with that item. When there are several memories triggered by an item, start with the earliest memory present. View the physical perceptions and discharge any emotions completely.

  4. If no memory comes up, then either no memory is there, or the memory is not accessible at that moment. Focus your attention on the next item from the list.

  5. Do not interfere with the mind. Let it carry out its natural functions in the background.

  6. Do this exercise for at least 20 minutes. End it off at a good point.

  7. You may repeat this exercise as many times as necessary.

The Stages of Learning

aid193035-v4-728px-Be-Self-Learning-Step-6

Reference: Critical Thinking in Education

.

There are several stages of learning as follows:

  1. Being tutored on a one-on-one basis

  2. Self-learning under supervision in a tutorial classroom

  3. Tutoring under supervision in a tutorial classroom

  4. Practicing mindfulness, which is seeing things as they are with full awareness of all assumptions.

.

THE FIRST STAGE

In the first stage of being tutored, the best place to start is with Mathematics. Mathematics means “tools for learning”. It helps the student build a sense of logic slowly and deliberately.

Mathematics starts with counting. This is a very simple activity, which involves the student in his environment.  Counting extroverts the student’s attention. Throughout the study of mathematics, the attention should be kept extroverted and on the mathematical rules as they apply to the environment.

The rules of mathematics should be learned in the sequence in which they come about naturally—numbers, digits, reading and writing numbers, large numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and so on.

These rules should be learned slowly and deliberately to understand their logic. The student should never go by something that he or she does not understand. Memory has its uses but memorization defeats the whole purpose of learning. Mathematics puts the student in a frame of mind to learn other subjects with understanding.

.

THE SECOND STAGE

In the second stage, you get them to start studying materials by themselves. You check their understanding randomly as they go along. Correct their understanding per the materials as necessary. Teach them how to look up words in a dictionary to understand the lessons better.  So you train them how to self-learn given good materials.

Self-learning is an activity that a Tutorial class supervisor has to make sure that every student has it down pat. If a person is having difficulty with mathematics later then this skill in self-learning must be examined thoroughly.

It is a good understanding of the basics that makes a good self-learner. So, if the skill of self-learning is missing then the student should be thoroughly examined for his understanding of the basic concepts in mathematics.

.

THE THIRD STAGE

In the third stage, an accomplished self-learner can start tutoring new students who need one-on-one tutoring. He puts them on the road to become self-learners.

.

THE FOURTH STAGE

In the fourth stage the person practices “seeing things as they are with full awareness of all assumptions”. This practice is called mindfulness.

In practicing mindfulness, a person learns to recognize anomalies and resolve them. Anomalies are discontinuities, disharmonies and inconsistencies in mental perception. Now he can learn anything that he wants to learn on his own by going to the Internet, or from experiences in life.
