"wise mind"

Let's think mindfully for a moment and try to realise 'how long our mind play as a 'WISE MIND'. Most of the time either we are on the emotional sphere or on the logical sphere. Important is the intersection of these two spheres or what is called the 'wise mind'. we take decisions, we act on our thoughts, we constantly migrate from emotional to logical boundaries. we consciously never know when we are in wise mind. The most difficult thing is to harness our mind. it is faster than light. when we are on the extreme periphery of emotion, impulsiveness is the most common immidiate reaction. when we are on the extreme side of the logical domain, we are too conscious that we can hardly take any bold step. so we have to try and consciously try to keep our mind on the middle path or the 'wise mind'. every emotion has a meaning. Being emotional is not stupid but feeling ashamed to accept the emotion is unscientific. Whenever we have a emotion, let us always give that emotion a name. Figuring out the exact emotion of mind is hard. but it is possible with practice. Emotions can be primary and secondary. It always starts with a prompting event with an underlying vulnerability in ourselves and ends in an action or expression of the emotion. We jump quickly from the primary to the secondary emotion because secondary emotion is what that gives us a comfort zone. The 6 most distinguished emotions are sadness, fear(shame), anger, disgust, excitement and enjoyment. If someone's primary emotion is fear(shame), he/she will jump into anger(secondary emotion) because being fearful or ashamed they do not feel comfort. Mind wishes to escape. So here comes the secondary emotion which is anger. Being angry gives a feeling of strength and thereby a feeling of security. The expression of the emotion is anger and most often we mistake the secondary emotion as the primary because we cannot distinguish them. The secondary always rules over the primary. In our wise mind we have to learn to identify the primary emotion and tease it out. Teasing a primary emotion is like a chain analysis. We have to consciously think what was the promting event and what are the vulnerabilities. Then try to analyse them. The best we can is to understand and confront our emotions rather then escaping from them. For escaping will not give us any solution. Mind is nothing but an emotional circuitry in the brain. An external event instigates or sends imformation to amygdala (the emotion regulation centre of brain) via thalamus. The outcome is excitatory and we feel happy. If the circuit changes its route and goes to amygdala via prefrontal cortex, the result is inhibitory and we feel sad. It feels quite harsh to think emotions to be such a mechanical pathway but that is the truth. Every step in our life is monitered by emotion . It is deep rooted in our mind that emotion is such a poetic, musical frame of thought. Then it becomes so difficult to accept that we are nothing but organic robots regulated and manipulated by specific neural circuitry. We are not robots but humans only on the fact that we can control our own circuitry and we can do it more effectively day by day identifying and regulating our every emotion; only we have to do it 'mindfully' or consciously being in our 'WISE MIND'.
