Well Harmony,
to explain that, it'll take an entire book, so I'll try to be as short as possible & instead will add in new info in each of my post as it seems relevant.
First & foremost, the three brains are a physiological aspect & not merely a psychological theory... yes, the three brains actually exist, tho' the are interlinked & there is no strict line of seperation between the three.
Now, any "morality" is based on the "mores" of that society or times, & "mores" are the "ought to be"'s to be followed. With such an situation, an individual will always have a "what I am doing" with the idea of "what should be done". This will lead to the individual always trying to move from his actual to the ideal, thus always creating a conflict with "what is"!
Can't one just stop trying to become something (een trying to become "moral") & instead just BE?
In such a situation of "Just Being", the individual can either let her instincts (which largely spring from his Reptilian brain & is thus, mainly ordained by "fear") do all the talking, Or, the individual can just let her human-brain (which is largely responsible for the rational mindset) work in tandom with that of the Reptilian brain!
In the case of a strict morality (with all its Repression), one's Human brain tries to repress the signal from one's Reptilian Brain, & in the case of an indulgent mind, one's Reptilian Brain does all the talking while one's human brain is used only as a backup. Whereas, if one can have one's mamallian brain (which is responsible for such things as "love", "apathy") act as a bridge between the human & the Reptilan brains, then neither of the three brains will need to be passive, instead the three will work in perfect harmony, & thus create a wholesome unit of the complete Being!
As I see it, there are three kinds of individuals, -- those who are dead, those who are alive, & those who are awake!
Can "seperation" exist in a state of perfect harmony?
Can the perception of "I" as a seperate entity with all its wills, desires & its ability to choose, exist without the disharmony inherent in all our cognition (the apperception of 'what is') with that of our imagination (imagination of our self-'image')?
The point is not in filling up this communicational "gap" coz perfection is cumulative, & thus any attempt at filling up is ad infinitum, but can't the commnication itself cease when there is no 'one' to comunicate!!! |
