Recent progress concerned the discovery of an emotional intelligence (EI). It has brought a better balance in the cool supremacy of the ruling elites and their high IQs. But above all, researchers are beginning to integrate what <a href=\"http:\/\/daaji.org\/\">Daaji<\/a> calls a spiritual quotient (SQ).<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 What conclusions have you drawn from your study of the brain?<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 Scientific discoveries reflect spiritual advancement; beautiful progress has been made thanks to Quantum Physics and its applications. But my feeling is that neurosciences are only in their infancy. Researchers began with bringing to light the existence of three brains in man. They are still raving about the cortex and the neo\u2013cortex. They have identified linkages with the limbic system and have become aware that our subconscious self plays an essential part in man. I was quite interested in the fact that psychology uses that very knowledge to foster balance and wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 Could you give me a practical example of it? Tell me about fear, for instance. You know that it is the first impression (<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><i>samskara<\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">) men have born within themselves since they were created. That original fear is what we remove during a person&#8217;s first initiation, because otherwise love and consciousness could not develop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 I know, fear is a primary emotion linked to surviving. The amygdala is the first to respond instantly in case of biological hazards. Then it short\u2013circuits any decision taken on the cortical level and alarms all parts of the body. A fear signal will trigger hormonal substances, thus allowing the person to either flee or fight. The person&#8217;s brain and senses are on maximum alert, the heart is stimulated, and there is a maximum production rate of adrenalin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 The problem is that such a stress, which generally relates to surviving, has become a permanent state for most of the people, and their hearts are now beating wildly, instead of increasing their efficiency. That is sub\u2013consciousness at work in human beings. But there is also a supra\u2013consciousness, which can operate in such cases. Please continue the demonstration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 In the limbic system, the amygdala and the hippocampus play a very exciting role. They apparently monitor the entire affective and emotional aspects of the individuals. The limbic system function consists in alerting the neuronal process \u2013 as mentioned before \u2013 but also in storing all memories related to a person or to an event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 That&#8217;s what the hippocampus does; its role is to precisely record and store memories, including the context and circumstances relating to the event to be memorized. For its part, the amygdala is related to any subjective, affective matter. You can see therefore why our <a href=\"http:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/la-pratique-guidee-du-nettoyage\/\">cleaning<\/a> is for removing impressions, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/category\/spiritual-paths\/hooponopono-en\/\">Ho&#8217;oponopono<\/a><br \/>\nprocess for removing all the wrong memories and data that seal us off from present and reality<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 Usually, we are not in danger of life or death, though our primitive brain often tends to make us believe we are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 Moreover, the amygdala short\u2013circuits the neo\u2013cortex, which should be a moderator and make rational decisions. When fear or anger are there, the pre\u2013frontal lobes take twice more time before they start working (two times 12 milliseconds). So, the neo\u2013cortex is often unable to take a decision because we have already responded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 What should we do, then?<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 That is the reason why we prone meditating on the heart, our real source for discernment. Like a conductor, the heart attunes our emotions and thoughts. The heart is what links emotions to thoughts. It does not depend on the brain and senses only, and it can access the meta\u2013data of the universal mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 I guess that should require a lot of training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 It is an important milestone in a human being&#8217;s evolution. We must leave behind our animalism in order to become a real universal human being. The heart is the key to access that universality. Through the heart, a person is constantly in contact with the Self, which is at once in and out of time. We therefore have all the necessary information available. Instead of submitting to life, to our life, we can master it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 Are we still evoking emotional intelligence here?<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 Spiritual intelligence will transform our intellectual and emotional intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\">Theo. \u2013 For instance?<\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The Elder \u2013 Emotions become feelings such as love, compassion. The heart helps develop empathy and be even\u2013tempered. Reason is supported and nourished by our intuition and inspiration. But above all, you have the feeling you are in the right place and it makes your life meaningful. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theo. \u2013 Many people get lost, in life, Often, I have the feeling that they are just resigned to live. Being <a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/mediter-maintenant\/\">aware of their hearts<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">would help them avoid many miseries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/positive-psychology-part-3-empathy\/\"><span lang=\"en-US\">To be continued,,,<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-FR\" align=\"right\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Theophile the Elder<br \/>\nAn excerpt from <\/span><em><span lang=\"en-US\">Dialogs with Theophile the Elder<\/span><\/em><span lang=\"en-US\"><br \/>\n<\/span><em><span lang=\"en-US\">Theophile the Younger&#8217;s initiation<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Elder \u2013 Recently, modern humanities and social sciences have taken significant steps in the knowledge of human beings&#8217; psychology and how their brains work.
