Emotion – Arousal and Control

📖 The Scoop

Searching for truth, searching for force beyond the realities known, searching for presence of a superior force, with one’s own body and mind, differentiating and identifying the mind and its processing methods have been the goal of human pursuits for centuries. Ancient wisdom took us to the parlors of total devotion and love for a force, which they considered supreme on the one hand, and on the other, they pointed out how ultraparadoxical is the universe in an absolute format.  Bertrand Russel said that he searched for rationality in his whole life. He and many more could think of the universe and its components only relatively, as human capabilities cannot take one beyond a relative evaluation, and everything that we know have only relative strength and existence. Many of us are still happy to think of an ultraparadoxical existence of the universe, as a burst of energy. Many believe that energy is present in each of us in the form of consciousness!

The need to examine consciousness from a medical point of view has been compelling, as death is the end point of presence of expressions of consciousness.  However, consciousness turned out to be essentially the functional property of the sensory-motor systems and how these helped in making reality contacts. Even awareness turned out to be essentially the outcome of a verbal monitoring process of own thoughts and speech. We semantically transcode every experience and contact with reality, and thereby develop its verbal awareness. Consciousness as a universal energy has been only another fictional thought.  Assumption that it is a form of force behind reality, remaining beyond the reach of human contacts served it as a magic force of human mind, helping in fantasizing its presence.
