Throughout our lives we are very reactive. Our senses, sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch give us feedback to the world around us. In addition to the five senses that are commonly known, we also have the senses of balance, pain, pressure and motion. All of them work together to coordinate how we react to the experiences we have in our lives. Not only do those experiences get recording and stored in our memory but they can create actual adaptive biological changes at the genetic level as was discussed in the previous chapter. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Terms, if you look at the definition of intelligence, it states that, intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Knowledge is defined as facts or information acquired through experience. It would follow then that our intelligence is not limited to just our MIND but our BODY and FEELING as well. Our state of biology, who we are, through our senses has the ability to acquire and apply intelligence in a highly reactive environment and even become adaptive at the genetic level to promote the survival of our species. 86
Referring back to CASE STUDY #2 in the previous chapter, the descendants of the holocaust victims of WWII, who inherited a mutated genetic sequence from their ancestors causing cases of depression, anxiety and suicide. The genetic mutation was caused generations before by an atrocity for which, at the time, the victim’s cortisol levels were insufficient to regulate the stress of the situation and on a genetic level recorded the moment by creating an adaptive change for future generations. Unfortunately, for some of those descendants who inherited the genetic mutated sequence caused by the atrocity generations before, they are now susceptible to increased cortisol levels that can create symptoms such as depressions, higher levels of anxiety and even suicide. In addition to the higher levels of cortisol, studies have shown that there can be reduced levels of serotonin, effecting mood and social behavior often referred to as the happiness chemical in our brain. Other neurotransmitters in the brain have shown reduced levels including dopamine, often referred to as the chemical of reward, making you feel good after an accomplishment or act of love. 87
