If Only it was that Simple
So we now have a system of seven subsystems, physical emotional, mental etc. With data flowing up and control flowing down. But wait, a moments thought reveals that this is just not true!
- If this were the case then why do we rarely have any experience of systems beyond the mind?
- If this were true then how come ‘divine guidance’, for want of a better term, does not flow down from system No 7 filling us with certainty and wisdom?
- If this were true then why do my emotions often mess up my body rather than being effortlessly directed by mind?
Something isn’t right here!
The term conditioning, first used by behaviourist psychologists in the 1930’s, is now a part of everyday language. It is usually employed in a negative context and suggests that people have lost their free will or ability to act spontaneously. Suffice to say that certain behaviours become stereotyped or ‘set’ thus excluding other potential behaviours. This has been described as blocks that interrupt and inhibit the flow of information.
When something bad happens we guard ourselves against it by blocking it out of experience. If the trauma is sufficiently large or is repeated often, the blocks do not go away.
The existence of physical, emotional and mental blocks has been repeatedly documented in various branches of psychology. In our model, the resistance of the blocks then splits the downward force into positive and negative components deflecting the energy / information from its true path.
This is why the system does not work efficiently. Ideally each system gets its instructions from the one above, whereas in reality systems become resistant to influence because of blocks. Blocks can occur in any system apart from the absolute and so lower systems can no longer access the information correctly from the higher systems, and what information that does come down becomes corrupted.
This suggests why most people do not have experience of any system beyond the mental, why we can be tormented by thoughts, why we get emotional distress of all sorts or why the body can be prone to various types of psychosomatic illness some so common as to be considered normal.
If you want to learn more about how the system is disrupted by blocks, in other words how it works for most people much of the time please see our contact us page. For now we shall move on using the simple model to The Interesting Bit.
