TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN If the girl doesn’t get help to regulate her feelings, to recognize them, and to receive acceptance of them, then all she is left with is pure animal energy in the form of anger/rage, with subsequent guilt, which can be too overwhelming for her. It may be especially overwhelming for the girl if the mother in addition reacts negatively towards her daughter’s anger. If the mother becomes anxious, starts yelling, condescends, cries, ignores, ridicules, or attempts to make the daughter be ashamed of her feelings, it will further rupture the attachment bond between mother and daughter. This may lead to separation between them that the daughter’s reptilian brain equates with death. This anger-guilt loop then creates the daughter’s «fear of her own feeling» (i.e. anxiety), because now her reptilian brain will gradually put a lid on her anger in order to avoid guilt and maintain the attachment bond between mother and daughter. Gradually from now on her reptilian brain will give her anxiety instead of anger whenever she’s angry. First this will be the case in regards to anger towards mother and other attachment figures, but this tendency might also spread to include other people she’s relating to such as classmates, friends, siblings, teachers, and even strangers. Unaided, it’s likely she’ll come to understand the primitive murderous impulses in her as something she herself is responsible for. She may then interpret these impulses as something that’s «bad» about her, rather than getting help accepting these feelings as «just feelings», and this sows the seed for unconscious guilt, which is the cause of symptoms and psychological problems. In nature when you study the behavior of reptiles (i.e. snakes, crocodiles, and lizards etc) you’ll notice that their behavior towards one another is very violent. A reptile mom often eats her «children»! To kill and be killed is the natural order of things, and death is something reptiles are always on the lookout for. Its entire consciousness is devoted to survival. To stay safe, avoid being killed, survive, and kill others that are a threat to its survival, are its main objectives. At the inner core of our own mind this mechanism/instinct is dominant since the reptilian brain trumps the other two brains. To first and foremost survive is the main goal, and it will try to accomplish that by any means necessary. The reptilian brain never forgets something that could be a threat to survival. Even now in adult life it will trigger the UAM when feelings activates that once (maybe even 90 years ago!) were viewed as dangerous to the attachment bond. Even though we now logically understand that these feelings are no longer dangerous, it doesn’t matter to the reptilian brain. Its motto is: «Once a dangerous feeling, always a threat to survival». Potentially every kind of feeling, even the good ones, can be associated with danger by the reptilian brain. Even happiness and love, feelings that could potentially give a person life-energy and self-confidence can be viewed by the reptilian brain as something that could equal death! Anxiety is the danger signal inside us that triggers whenever feelings once learned were dangerous are close to conscious awareness. Anxiety triggers unconsciously (i.e. outside of your awareness) and it only takes 12 milliseconds (0.012 seconds) from when a feeling gets triggered until anxiety «attacks it». You do not «decide to get anxious» any more than you can decide to willfully grow your hair or digest your food. You do not yourself flip the anxiety switch inside you so to speak. Rather you are merely taken by it, your body actives itself, tenses up, and gets the heart beating fast whether you want 155
TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN to or not. Something inside you actives your body without your consent! Isn’t that fascinating! That means that forces outside your control influence your every waking moment! For some this may be a scary concept. However, you can learn to trust your own unconscious and not fear it, and that will be the focus in Chapter 9. The mammalian brain • sex & domination, to reproduce, eat, feel, desire, get, and want The mammalian brain is the area of the brain that surrounds the reptilian brain. Contrary to the reptilian brain whose sole motivation is survival, the mammalian brain is a bit more sophisticated although it’s still very much animal in nature. It’s main motivation is to reproduce and to get things it wants. Most of the time what it wants is food and an attractive mate, but it also wants power and status. It wants to dominate others and get their submission. It has a my-way-or-the-highway attitude and if it doesn’t get what it wants this causes frustration which often leads to aggression and violence. The mammalian brain consists of the middle parts of our brain and generally speaking it’s our emotional brain. We share this part of our brain with every mammal on the planet such as dogs, cats, and tigers etc. As can be witnessed in the animal world, there are some mammals that are more benign and some that are more predatory. You’ve probably seen the rage of the tiger, the joy of the kitten, the sadness of the grieving elephant, the love of the mare towards its foal, or the guilty dog when she’s eaten from the table. You may recall from the previous chapter that our primary feelings that constitutes our emotional blueprint or the generic system of the unconscious (the GSU) are: anger/rage guilt sadness/grief joy/happiness love Different researchers have at different times added a few more, such as disgust (when eating inedible foods), but for the sake of simplicity the five feelings mentioned above are the ones that we’ll focus on throughout the book. Mammals, when they live free in nature, express these feelings instinctively and effortlessly. Two cats may be angry at each other, their anger comes up, they arch their backs and hiss, and usually that’s that. Mammals don’t linger afterwards wondering: «Was it right to express my anger?». No, free mammals just are, they experience their feelings and let everyone know what they feel without thought or anxiety. After the feeling has been felt and experienced, they let the feeling go and return to their normal relaxed state. They don’t have the urge to repress or judge their feelings like many humans do, because their UAM hasn’t learned to equate their feelings with danger. Instead, they treat their feelings as something natural and as a spontaneous thing that comes and goes. 156
