This movie is the biochemistry of negative emotions.
The
brain when it fires its thoughts is likened unto the landscape
of a thundercloud. And the synaptic cleft is the sky
between...the storm and the Earth--the Earth receptor sight.
And you see this foreboding dark cloud...boiling in the
sky...and you see electrical impulses moving through it...veins
of electric light...and then you see it hit the ground.
The brain looks like a thunderstorm--when it is presenting a
coherent thought. So no one is ever seeing the thought.
What they do see in neurophysics...is that they see a storm
raging...around different quadrants of the brain. [thunder
rumbling] Those are areas that are mapped in the body and
what a person must be responding to--a holographic image--rage,
murder, hate...compassion, love. The brain does not know the
difference between what it sees in its environment and what it
remembers...what it sees in its environment and what it
remembers because the same specific neural nets are then firing.
The brain is made up of tiny nerve cells called "neurons."
These neurons have tiny branches that reach out and connect to
other neurons to form a neural net. Each place where they
connect is incubated into a thought or a memory. Now, the
brain builds up all its concepts by the law of associative
memory. For example,
ideas, thoughts and feelings are all constructed and
interconnected in this neural net and all have a possible
relationship with one another.
The concept and the feeling of love, for
instance...is stored in this vast neural net. But we build
the concept of love from many other different ideas. Some
people have love connected to disappointment. [memory of finding
your spouse in bed with another person] When they think about
love, they experience the memory of pain...sorrow, anger and
even rage. Rage may be linked to hurt, which may be linked
to a specific person which then is connected back to love.
(love-hate relationships)
We
build up models of how we see the world outside of us.
And the more information that we have, the more we refine our
model one way or another. And what we ultimately do is
tell ourselves a story about what the outside world is.
Any information that we process, any information that we take in
from the environment is always colored by the experiences that
we've had and an emotional response that we're having to what
we're bringing in.
Who is in the driver's seat when we control our emotions or we
respond to our emotions? We
know physiologically that nerve cells that fire together wire
together. If you practice something over and over, those
nerve cells have a long-term relationship
(strongholds).
If you get angry on a daily basis, if you get frustrated on a
daily basis...if you suffer on a daily basis...if you give
reason for the
victimization
in your life...you're rewiring and reintegrating that neural net
on a daily basis and that neural net now has a long-term
relationship with all those other nerve cells called an "identity."
We also know that nerve cells that don't fire together no longer
wire together.
(“Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you.”
-James 4:7)
They
lose their long-term relationship because every time we
interrupt
(with
deliberation)
the thought process that produces a chemical response in the
body--every time we interrupt it
(with
deliberation),
those nerve cells that are connected to each other...start
breaking the long-term relationship. When we start
interrupting and
observing...not by stimulus and
response and that
automatic REaction...but
by observing the effects it takes...then we are no longer the
body-mind conscious emotional person that's responding to its
environment as if it is automatic.
("So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us
be alert and
self-controlled."
-1Thessalonians 4:6)
Does
that mean emotions are good or emotions are bad? No,
emotions are designed so that is reinforces
chemically...something into long-term memory. That's why
we have them.
All emotions is is holographically imprinted chemicals.
The most sophisticated pharmacy in the
universe is in here. [man] There's a part of the
brain called the hypothalamus and hypothalamus is like a little
mini factory and it is a place that assembles certain
chemicals...that matches certain emotions that we experience.
And those particular chemicals are called
"peptides." They're small-chain amino acid sequences.
The body's basically a carbon unit that makes about 20 different
amino acids altogether...to formulate its physical structure.
The body is a protein-producing machine.
In the
hypothalamus, we take small-chain proteins called peptides and
we assemble them into certain neuropeptides or neurohormones
that match the emotional states that we experience on a daily
basis.
So
there's chemicals for anger, and there's chemicals for sadness...and
there's chemicals for victimization.
There's chemicals for lust.
There's a chemical that matches every emotional state that we
experience.
And the moment that we experience that emotional state in our
body or in our brain [man looking at a woman wearing a
mini-skirt bending over] that hypothalamus will immediately
assemble the peptide and then releases it through the pituitary
into the bloodstream. The moment it makes it into the
bloodstream it finds its way to different centers or different
parts of the body. Now, every single cell in the body has
these receptors on the outside. Now one cell can have thousands
of receptors studding its surface, kind of opening up the
outside world. And when a peptide docks on a cell it
liberally, uh, like a key going into a lock...sits on the
receptor surface and attaches to it and kind of movers the
receptor and kind of like a doorbell buzzing, sends a signal
into the cell. [buzzing] It's party time!
[just
married bride & groom getting out of limo] [rock music] [bride &
groom wedding reception] [piano music] What happens in adulthood
is that most of us who've had our glitches along the way are
operating in an emotionally detached place or we're operating as
if today were yesterday
(referred to as, Living In The Past).
In either the disconnected place or the overly emotional
reactive place because they've gone to an earlier time in
reality...the person is not operating as an
integrated whole.
Along
the outside of the cell are these billions of receptor sites
that are really just receivers of incoming information.
A
receptor that has a peptide sitting in it changes the cell in
many ways. It sets off a whole cascade of biochemical
events...some
of which wind up with changes in the actual nucleus of the cell.
Each cell is definitely alive and, each cell has a consciousness
particularly if
we
define consciousness as the point of view of an
observer
(BEING in an awake state of mind vs. automatic mind).
There is always the perspective of the cell. In fact, the
cell is the smallest unit of consciousness in the body.
Well,
my definition of an addiction is something really simple:
something that you can't stop. We bring to ourselves
situations that will fulfill the biochemical craving of the
cells of our body by creating situations that meet our chemical
needs. [A woman getting wine spilled all over her dress says;
"It always happens to me." "Every day." "Why Me."]
And the addict will always need a little bit more...in order to
get a rush or a high of what they're looking for chemically.
[Woman turns to her friend and says; "Don't tell me to calm
down! You're always bossing me around." ] So my
definition really means that
if you
can't control your emotional state you must be addicted to it.
[same woman crying .. "Oh, I knew this was gonna happen."]
[emotional chaos breaks out from people at the wedding
reception]
"That's not what we agreed upon! You're not going to screw
me--Why don't you read the contract? You won't do
anything, so I will"
"No no
no, mam...Don't dip you half-eaten shrimp back into the cocktail
sauce. (Reply) Screw you and your health codes!
I am the bride's sister. I'll stick my ass in the cocktail
sauce if I damn well please. "
"What
are you standing there for? Get out and serve. Make
sure everybody has a full platter...Fun, Fun, Fun!"
"Listen Steven. You won't do anything about it, so--"
So how
can anyone really say they're in love with a specific
person...for example? They're only in love with the
anticipation of the emotions they're addicted to. Because
the same person could fall out of favor the next week by not
complying. My goodness, doesn't that change the landscape
of our emotional outlook on personal needs and identities?
[the
photographer, who had gotten married at the same church as this
newly married bride and groom, and whom she caught her husband
cheating on her...sees something at the wedding reception...REacting
out of past thought memory HOLLERS out thinking she sees the
groom fooling around with another woman. But she is
misperceiving. What she sees is not true in reality...but
out of past thought memory of what had happened to her. It
wasn't the groom with another woman, but another man that could
have passed off as the groom.]
We are
emotions and emotions are us. Again I can't separate
emotions. When you consider that, every aspect of you
digestion, every sphincter that opens and closes...every group
of cells that come in for nourishment and then moves out to heal
something or repair something--Those are all under the influence
of the molecules of emotion. I mean, it's this total buzz.
So you
ask if emotions are bad. Emotions are not bad.
They're life. They color the richness of our
experience.
It's
our addiction that's the problem.
The thing that most people don't realize is that...when they
understand that they are addicted to emotions--it's not just
psychological. It's biochemical. Think about this.
Heroin uses the same receptor mechanisms on the cells that our
emotional chemicals use. It's easy to see then that if we
can be addicted to heroin...then we can be addicted to any neuro
peptide, any emotion.
[two
very young men uninvited show up to the wedding reception
looking for possible sex partners--put outs]
The
relevant search command that's going on is related to finding a
certain emotional state. I mean, we can't even direct our
eyes without having an emotional aspect to it. Now...what
about people who are addicted to sex?
EMOTIONS & AGING
If we
are bombarding the same cell with the same chemistry over and
over again on a daily basis, when that cell decides to divide,
when it produces a sister cell or a daughter cell, that next
cell will have more receptorsites for those particular neuro
peptides and less receptorsites for vitamins, minerals,
nutrients, fluid exchange, or even release of waste products,
toxins. So nutrition won't even have a use after 20 years
of emotional abuse to even receive or let in the nutrients that
are necessary for health. All aging is, is a protein
deficiency. Nutrition isn't going to work if the
cells no longer contain the receptorsites to receive the
protein. All aging is, is an improper protein
production...
