I really don’t know. I’m feeling like I am at the boundary of what needs to be understood about human beings. To both understand them, visualizing their future path with their limited capacities, and to deal objectively with guiding human nature’s reality through something other than their feeling based thinking. Most of us become and are trapped in both the nature of our neural character and the circumstance of their existence.
The awareness of neural functioning is what is needed to separate itself from the animal character and evolution of the past. The neural matrix forms the patterns and context responses of human and animal behavior, with humans having one additional capacity, ie; mental reflection of their own behavior, and over all other interactive relationships of nature and life. Such cognition of themselves changes the animal paradigm into awareness and the potential of managing their own behavior, rather than just neural reacting. Rational reflection gives it some capacity of choice as to how it perceives and responds.
It must also be understood that this skill has not been fully recognized, developed or mastered by any human being and is unknown to humanity generally. Very few, if any, have fully evolved in its application and use. Most do not have any knowledge, awareness or understanding of what has just been said. Most of humanity is still locked in the primitive behavior directives of the earlier stages of its past evolution of consciousness. I can see that there are significant progressions, but it has not become well known or accepted generally.
We are speaking of rational knowledge and its application and use in guiding the character and manner of how an individual, and eventually, the collective body of humanity, responds to life’s challenges as an intelligent. It can act as a conscious guide of the neural matrix in the human brain and manage its natural characteristics that both sustain and/or obstruct the capacity of the species in its living in harmony with nature.
I’m not satisfied with this image as it stands. This is quite common when those who do understand also search for common images and knowledge among themselves. This is absent of the larger portion of ignorant populations that generally use denial and feelings to guide their responses. Characteristically they use their uninformed egos and feelings to create, build, and capture their reality to accommodate their distortions of personal identity.
Their biggest obstacle to this understanding is the illusory condition embedded in the human ego and the absence of knowledge of its characteristics in general. Then there is the self-addiction to their feeling-driven images they create about themselves and everything else in a confusion of what is reality.
The investment in images of self importance given to their identity makes them unable to observe themselves objectively, rationally. Then they are faced with the inability to alter, adjust, or change their neural responses to meet the rational needs of the outer world or group and instead revert back to primal responses and perspectives to form their self’s identity.
This is most obvious in the egotism of leaders who take on both the role of alpha male and its neural identity. (check out the many animal behavior studies of how the body of individuals physically transforms to adapt to the position of pack leader.)
It is unlikely this kind of awareness and knowledge will be available or used to overcome the current path of human self destruction because of an undeveloped ability to respond rationally to Life’s demands.
Note: The current president of the U.S. is a narcissistic, bipolar, pathological, human being who is unable to integrate his images into reality. There are clearly some neural pathologies embedded in his DNA, but the question of how this kind of being becomes a leader and symbol is a fascinating inquiry on its own.
