Back at school I was very good at chemistry, biology not so much. This, however, is not an analysis of those physiological functions that make us capable humans. In the contrary, when it comes to thoughts and emotional state we fly far away from the dwellings of science and into the realm of mysticism and not so hidden truths.
Can anyone promise me, assure me that I am an unique case?! No! Don't even dare question or deny your mood swings and occasional (or regular) tantrums. And there it is! The universal,ever so far, unbelievably positively grotesque question- What drives us?
When it comes to the mind, I have always thought of it as a detached-from-the-body part. The signals that eyes, motion sensors and nerve endings send slide up on an invisible silver line right to our consciousness. And presumably that same consciousness is close by, only in another level of existence. And at certain occasions, instead of the body sending information, that other part of us does. But then again, that info might just be to much for us simple humans to handle. That's when it happens- All of a sudden we jump far of our usual emotional arena and land in the land of unknown, frightening realisations.
I have never accepted the theory thoughts and emotions should be separated. How could that be?
We feel what we think, and think what we feel. No matter how poignant those proceedings we do need them in order to be real. Although, I should admit - There are times(and not so few)that I feel I am not real, at least not in this reality. I like to believe my consciousness, in collaboration with the subconsciousness send me that grasp of existence.
Yes! We ARE here and now! But what does that mean anyway? A hurricane of emotions and a whirlpool of thoughts. Just like Scilla and Haribda,guiding the way to a higher understanding...
