As we come to the concluding part of the book, we also need to talk about our mechanism of emotions. Science clearly says, you are what you think and feel you are. Therefore, it has to be accepted that our emotional state of consciousness has got much to do with how we accept ourselves as. Emotions and cognition are inter-dependent realism for us. That is why emotional poise is so crucial for wellness. We can hit the poise if we understand the mechanism of our emotions well. We need to see and accept as why emotionalism usually makes us off target of realism.
We all need to understand why poise of emotions is important in our life-living wellness scheme of things. It is also very important to know why the primary emotions of reward and rejection must not be associated exclusively or predominantly with tangibles of life. We have to accept as why it is ideal to come out of this cognition of emotions of reward and rejection, to get final emancipation (nirvana) from this causality – this cyclicality of gain and loss, reward and rejection.
This emotion of reward and rejection is at the core of ‘deprivation’ and ‘alienation’ feelings and that is why a detailed understanding of the emotional mechanism of our body-mind structures shall help us in a big way to deftly decipher true empowerment.
It is important to understand and accept that most behavior and actions of average people are aimed at attaining or restoring overall poise of wellness. However, the actual choices depend mostly on how an individual subjectively perceives his or her life situation and what emotions shape or guide his or her choices. For example, a man, even in poor health, may opt for working more hours in office, instead of taking proper rest, if he perceives that he needs more money for better education of his kids.
Science says, ‘you are in your perspectives and your perspectives are in you’. This means, what and how an individual perceives his or her actual and real life situation can be very subjective. This is true with our perceptions about all things and life situations. It has to be understood that any cognitive factor of wellness and ‘empowered-feeling’ is also subject to emotional interpretation. Like; income and wealth as key cognitive factors for wellness and empowered feeling are important but only up to a limit after which it rather has negative impact.
However, what actually is the optimum level of income and wealth is a subjective and emotional decision, given also the fact that we all live in a modern environment where income and wealth disparities are huge. Only 5 percent of global population owns 95 percent of wealth. This contemporary clutter culture has loads of such chaos, conflict and confusion, which irrationally affect choices of behaviors.
In such an environment, decision-making is more tilted towards emotional rather than logical. Scientists confirm that this cognitive-conundrum is biological, part of our body-mind mechanism. Science says, confusion and chaos makes one emotional in thinking and decision-making, as limbic system is activated. So, emotions make the fine-line between optimum and maximum blurred. This prompts risky behavior, even though the behavior is instinctively towards restoring or attaining the equilibrium of wellness.
First objective hypothesis seems to be that – the contemporary clutter culture is a dysfunctional and debilitating realism as it makes most of us land in chaos, conflict and confusion. Even scientists like Stephen Hawking have raised alarm over this. This clutter culture and resultant conflicts in turn lands us in a charged up emotional state, affecting our logical and appropriate decision-making, as it blurs our perceptions about actualism of realism.
Contemporary times are defined more by ‘reactionary-priorities’ of people, in action and behavior choices. Much of it can be ascribed to clutter culture. Emotionalism almost always leads to reactionary choices. This has cyclic calamity for society and cultures.
Yes, emotions are good when you are in love and wish to optimize the joy of drift in the ocean of intimacy. However, you need never be ‘emotional’, while deciding about who is the right love-partner for you. In decision-making on major life-living issues, emotions always land you in unreal situation. In such important decisions like ‘Who I Am’ and ‘How Can I Be Empowered’, it is crucial that we shun emotionalism and settle down for objective, logical and poised consciousness.
When you have opted consciously for a non-action or inaction positioning for your action-behavior, it is good if you ask your emotions to lead your pleasures. This is good because, everything is in ‘internalized-mode’ and you are in a singular and non-competitive time and space. However, when you opt for actionable decision-making choices, you need to be objective and logical. This necessitates dropping your emotionalism and accepting elements presented for your decision-making in high objectivity and holism. Emotionalism is personal, subjective and very individualistically partial. Whereas; most of the crucial life-living decisions, must always be based on holism.
The clutter culture affects our consciousness negatively and this in turn affects our cognition. Naturally, affected consciousness and illogical cognitions throws us in the deep oceans of bad and calamitous causality. If emotionalism leads us to blurred perceptions, it is for sure, we land ourselves in bad judgments and then, our own wellness is compromised.
Second core fact emanates out of the first. That is; when the crucial 3Cs – Consciousness, Cognition and Causality are hit by another 3Cs – Chaos, Conflict and Confusion, we begin to lose the Sense of Appropriateness of self-awareness, self-control and self-actualization. That is why we begin to perceive some good and right things as bad and wrong and the vice-versa. This confusion adds to the conflict.
Often, it seems, genius is all about being infallibly dogmatic about utility of one’s ability for fallibility....! There is always a popularly defined benchmark of ‘success’ and ‘utility’. Most people do not have the courage of conviction to do or accept anything beyond it as anything outside this populism is considered a fallibility. This emotionalism about success and utility comes with our partial life view and perspectives.
However, a true genius, almost like a ‘stupid’, seems in happy and unbending acceptance of his or her fallibility as he or she is not thinking about success or failure but just the intangible joy and thrill of the hypothesis, which he has accepted for his or her pursuits of purpose.
Acceptance of fallibility, as primary signpost of success, is like being your own God. The moment you rise above this humanly populist concerns of success and failure, which the contemporary populism benchmarks, you become happily independent of God. Why? Just because, divinity for average humanity is largely about the cultural business of right and wrong as well as success and failure. As this facilitative situation happens for you, your consciousness is free and road to genius is easy and smooth.
The happy position for a genius is that he or she has risen above the populist utility of action as human attainment. The genius is true and aligned only to his or her own Imaginative Inactionability. This hypothesis is so mystically marvellous. Just try to free yourself of action-oriented mindset and perspectives, just try to accept this simple hypothesis that fallibility is all about not being aligned to your own inner intuitive imaginations and see the magic unravel. Failure is about doing something, which is aimed at attaining something outside you. Success is about undoing this attitudinal slavery of doing...!
