stop getting so angry (read all 5 entries…)

Not out of the woods yet.

But I am able to better understand the mechanism of Anger, the nature of the trigger and the response.

I am most sensitive and get most angry at being misunderstood. Usually the anger is with the person who did the misunderstanding. Being misunderstood, even (and especially!!) about most insignificant things is that which invokes the “Deep System”. The Deep System (or the Id?) consists of brain modules closer to the autonomic system, the system which is always on auto-pilot, the system which is responsible for breathing, heartbeat, organ function, regulation of chemicals, hormone and protein secretion, digestion, fight-flight-freeze response, cell growth and death, ....

Some of the Autonomous responses can be extremely dangerous. The Deep System functions blindly on auto-pilot, thinking it is defending the whole organism. What may have been a slight injury to the ego becomes perceived as an attack on the whole being.

there appear to be strong ties between the ego and this deep system.

events which trigger this autonomous response point to mental (cognitive) structures which externally reflect the tension in the body outside of the deep system.

In the past 6months or so I have been able to UNDO some rather chronic sore spots in the neck and shoulders. Many of those were identified as “chips on the shoulder” types.

It appears as though those abovementioned points of tension have not returned, even though the subsequent UNDOING of those parts has not been as thorough, but mere maintenance.

The mental structure reflecting the body tension seems to have dissolved with the body tension.

...The consciousness that is a function of the body…

...what other consciousnesses are there….

one consciousnus,
many consciousi
