Re: Louise Hay, Heal Your Body from A-Z

we're basically on the same page Chris, i just see it from a different viewpoint, as you'll see ;-)

from the looks of evolution, human dis Ease and our damage to the planet is an inevitable process that blind nature (which includes us) had to go thru. it seems the earlier instinctual emotional mid-brain began to reveal dearth of commonsense and this prompted the necessity for a cortical update (the neo cortex) and this new enhanced motor and cognitive skills is now struggling to integrate with a still dominant instinctual emotionally reactive wilder-beasty mid-brain.

one of the essential benefits of this new cortex is that the primitive core of the human condition is now much easier to observe. we can examine it now with a self reflective awareness that animals and primal man never had and whats becoming obvious is that certain ancient instinctual reactions (of the animal emotional mid-brain) do not meld well with the awakening intelligence of the new cortex.

these two brains operate with polar opposite paradigms. one uses an inward focussed non-tangible emotionally instinctive meme (aboriginal dreamtime spirituality) and the other strives for mental clarity and cognitive skills focused on exploring the factual tangible world of actuality using mental tools that are incomprehensible to pure instictive emotion driven animals such as primitive mankind.

this cognitive dissonance has gone on for over 10 thousand years now, stressing our nervous systems and blindly wrecking havoc all over the planet.

what we are discovering is that when the new cortical intelligence stubbornly clings to ancient emotional mid-brain intinctual reactions, then intelligence morphs into a emotionally malicious and cunning consciousness more dangerous and destructive than any other animal on the planet. and this is bringing our species to make or break crossroads. we literally are (at present) half wits. this old tribal instinctual brain (herd instinct etc) that once served an important survival purpose is - by being clung to - now hindering the development of the necessary benign and benevolent future intelligence of mankind.

the primitive self-glorifying homosapien brain has build a dream culture with its ancient brain and is now reluctant (afraid) to walk out of that emotional ocean of swirling reactive passions into the bright calm light of factual sensate existence. humankind is having to face a fundamental realization that our invisible man-made worlds have become obsolete (dinosaurs). the territorial emotional brain is not sensible enough to cooperate with the actual world of nature. all our attempts to superimpose its dreams and schemes have only made our bodies (including the planet) more ill.

basically we have no choice, either come to our senses (integrate and configure the awakening intelligence) or become extinct.
