TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN Feelings are triggered unconsciously in every mammal and human being. What gets triggered is a physical activation which again trigger fantasies and impulses. The physical activation itself is wordless and thoughtless. It’s manifested in our stomach, chest, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, genitals, feet, neck, and face. Each feeling activates itself uniquely in the body. Anger is often described as a boiling sensation in the chest, a red and hot face, clenching of the jaws and fists, activation in the stomach, and an impulse to move the hands and feet. The feeling of anger is just that: a physical activation, fantasies, and impulses. It’s not our thoughts! You can feel the anger physically and sense the impulse to lash out, but it doesn’t mean the thought: «Life is unfair! I wish everyone could behave as I want them to.». The content of the thought is one thing, while the physical activation and the impulse are something completely different. However, the majority of people confuse their physical feeling with their thoughts. The physical activation during the height of the feeling may become very intense. Picture how a tiger reacts if someone tries to take its food. That situation is most likely going to end in violence. We humans also have this ability to go from a relaxed state to shaking murderous rage in a short time (and people that can’t intuit this «dark side» within them are in denial). However, the intensity and fierceness of these feelings may become too overwhelming for a young child (and for most adults also) if feelings aren’t fully accepted in the original home environment. If a child’s emotional experience is met with an attachment person’s anxiety or lack of understanding then the child becomes «afraid» of his feelings. His ego will then invent defense mechanisms to distract him from his anxiety. He may start to second-guess himself, worry, rationalize, doubt his own feelings, or blame himself for the existence of his feelings. A child that negatively judges his own feelings and takes a position of shame will perhaps think such things as: «A good boy doesn’t have feelings like this.», or «I must be a bad boy since I feel like that.». Then he mistakenly labels his waves of feelings and impulses as something he himself is personally responsible for, and as if he himself made the feeling exist in the first place. He then takes personal responsibility for what an unconscious part of him is responsible for. This often leads to further defense mechanisms and psychological symptoms such as further self-blame, low self-esteem, avoidance behavior, and passivity. Our feelings are like waves that overtakes us but then runs out after a short while if they’re not being met with any resistance. They have a beginning, a climax, and an ending. You do not yourself control if your feelings are activated, however what you actually do control is your willingness to experience their physical activation and impulses while they exist in you. The primate (human) brain • rational thought & spiritual values This is the part of our mind that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Our ability to observe our stream of consciousness (the ego), our ability for abstract and logical thinking, our ability to direct our attention, and our ability for moral thinking and 157
TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN spiritual awareness, are all human qualities that separates us from the need-to-get function and survival instinct of the animal-ego. Moral, spiritual, and ethical thinking are faculties of a higher order. Examples of these are the ability to love unconditionally, the ability for selfless service, the ability to delay gratification for a greater good, the ability for compassion, kindness, forgiveness, contentment, harmony, responsibility for others, and valuing something greater than ourselves. Many scientists believe that we are born with a moral compass and a sense of justice, and studies show that children focus at an early age on what’s right or wrong and what’s fair or unfair. Honesty is an example of a spiritual value. The reptile and the mammal may on occasion be honest creatures, but when their survival instincts or desires are strong enough, their honesty is quickly discarded. This is also the case with humans that are more aligned with their reptilian and mammalian brains (their ego) than with their human brain (their Self). These people may claim to be honest, but when really put to the test it’s proven that they value their own survival or reputation more than their spiritual values. At Yale in the 1960’s the American psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a famous behavioral experiment where people were told to give electric shocks to a person that failed to answer correctly on a learning test. The shocking results (which have since been duplicated many times) was that 80 % of the participants would administer an incrementally stronger electric shock until death occurred to the «tester», just because a test administrator told them to do so. The electrical shocks were «fake» since the experiment was staged, but the participants didn’t know this. 80 % of the population will actually choose to kill another person in order to avoid anxiety and confrontation/feelings with an authority figure rather than standing up for spiritual values such as compassion, love, and respect for human life. If the results of this study are generalized one may argue that 80 % of mankind are more reptilian and mammalian in nature, even though they walk the earth looking like human beings.
