The Subconscious Mind and the Sixth Sense

Chapter 39 The Most Difficult East Wind - Luck (6)
William James, an American psychologist, has repeatedly emphasized: "Our ordinary waking consciousness is only a certain type of consciousness. Everything related to it is separated from it by a hazy barrier, potentially a completely different type of consciousness. It exists behind this barrier." Our everyday sense is like an ordinary island surrounded by a vast ocean of consciousness.Day and night the waves crash against the island, and as the waves break the barriers of the shore and flow into the interior, this island of our everyday sense is drowned in the consciousness of vast new worlds which, though never explored, are Very real.And once these areas are touched, our consciousness will be extra aware of it.

From the 10th century BC, Babylonian astrologers used the positions of the planets to predict wars and natural disasters, and by the 5th century BC, Greek astrologers used the data to interpret personality and predict the future of their patrons .The idea that the position of the planets at the time of a person's birth can affect a person's character and his destiny is very attractive.Now that modern astronomy and behavioral science have shown that to be superstitious nonsense, the idea still holds great appeal.

In fact, the same is true. Astrology's description of each person's personality is that it covers the vague personality traits that everyone desires.A well-known astrology master once revealed in person: "The most important point is that your language must not be absolute or generalized, it must be as cosmic as possible. What does cosmicization mean? It is so big that everyone feels like I'm talking about myself."

In today's society where career competition and love competition are fierce, people "worry" that they will fail.When encountering setbacks, or throwing a "coin" at the crossroads of life, you can choose whether to advance or retreat, turn or go straight.

Everyone's desire for the unknown is not difficult to understand. People in good times often believe that they are the masters of their destiny. Destiny is in their own hands, because if you want wind, you will get rain. Once you experience setbacks and your confidence is frustrated, you will turn to fatalism the waterway.

Human behavior can change "fate", and hints are usually the decisive force in it.Fortune-telling itself is not used for prediction, but for psychological suggestion, which can affect a person's aura and prompt him to make behavioral changes, either more positive or more negative.Instead of asking the "big fairy" to test your fate, it is better to learn to change your attitude and cultivate your optimistic and confident personality, and you will get pleasant surprises.

"Fortune-telling" is a kind of superstition.What's the point of living if everything can be counted?
Perhaps, it is difficult for us to jump out of the vicious circle of "Barnum effect" for a while, but we should indeed live soberly.Cultivate your own judgment ability to judge problems decisively. Through rational counseling, personal judgment ability has been improved, and indecision thoughts have also disappeared. Many people have been deceived because of inaccurate judgment, which has brought distress to themselves. .

Destiny belongs only to oneself, instead of "fortune-telling", it is better to find self-confidence, clench your fists confidently, and hold your own destiny tightly!

Emotional Control: How to turn things around?
【Emotions are people's perceptual reflection of body changes. When the body changes due to external stimuli, people's perception of these changes is emotion. 】

Emotion is a very magical spirit.When people's emotions are high and their hearts are full of happiness, their work will go smoothly, their friends are so cute, their colleagues are so kind, and their partners are so loyal and virtuous...

However, once people are depressed, unhappy, frustrated, resentful, melancholy...they fill their hearts, they will definitely set off a storm in their lives, and the world will also be gloomy, everything will not go well, and troubles will arise.

Emotions are so magical, with a wave of the magic wand, the colors of the world are controlled by it.

According to the research of psychologists, when a person is in a happy mood, wonderful changes will occur in the body, thereby gaining new motivation and strength.The power lies in the people.Man himself is the source of his own happiness.It can be seen that emotions have a great influence on people.

Every decision and behavior of a person varies from person to person and will be more or less affected by emotions.Emotions play a very important role in both learning and social adaptation.Psychologists often advise those whose emotions are easily disturbed by the outside world to deal with their emotions first, and then devote energy to dealing with things.If there is no good mood as a foreshadowing, the next work will be full of bumps.

What is the true face of emotion?The answer is simple. Emotions are feelings and their characteristic thoughts, mental and physical states, and tendencies to act.

From a psychological analysis, emotions do not matter right or wrong, and are often short-lived; they can accumulate, and can also be accelerated to dissipate through persuasion, like floating clouds, unpredictable.

The famous American psychologist James believes that people do not cry because they are sad, quarrel when they are angry, and tremble when they are afraid. On the contrary, people worry because they cry, get angry because they are noisy, and fear because they tremble. Of course, this is a very unique inference, whether it is true or not, in short, it adds a channel for us to understand emotions.

Emotions are the perceptual reflection of human beings to changes in the body. The body changes due to external stimuli, and people's perception of these changes is emotion.

Regarding emotions, in ancient my country, there was a saying of "seven emotions of internal injury". The ancients believed that when the seven emotions of "joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock" are excessive, the body functions change, and the There will be diseases, which is also the physiological manifestation of the negative effects of emotions.

Modern medicine believes that the occurrence of many diseases is related to poor mental state and abnormal mood, and a lot of experience has clearly verified this fact.People with depression, anxiety, irritability, insecurity and unpleasant emotional experiences have weakened immunity.This is also often the case in life. When a person is depressed and depressed, it is very easy to cause throat inflammation, cold and other symptoms.Similarly, at some critical moments, the control of emotions will also become the key to our control of the overall situation.

There is such a story about Rockefeller, a wealthy man.In court, the lawyer took out a letter and asked Rockefeller: "Sir, have you received the letter I sent you? Have you answered it?"

"Got it!" Rockefeller replied, "No reply!"

The lawyer took out more than [-] letters and asked Rockefeller one by one, and Rockefeller gave the same answer one by one with the same expression.

The lawyer couldn't control his emotions, flew into a rage, and kept cursing.

In the end, the court announced that Rockefeller had won the case!Because lawyers lost control of their emotions, they were unable to analyze rationally, and their thinking fell into confusion, leading to failure.

This shows how important it is for a person to control emotions.The key to controlling emotions is to grasp the degree of heart.Releasing emotions regardless of consequences will inevitably lead to bad consequences. However, suppressing emotions without overload is also not a wise choice.

According to statistics, people who often swallow their anger are three times more likely to get cancer than the average person. People of the "swallowing" type often restrain themselves excessively and suppress their emotions such as sadness, anger, and depression. These vicious emotions act on the brain for a long time, which will cause endocrine disorders and reduce the body's immune function, thus giving cancer an opportunity.

This enlightens us that "swallowing one's anger" is not only a good way to control emotions, but it will lead to bad results.

Lin Daiyu, who is both talented and beautiful, because of her sentimental personality, melancholy and suspicion, became ill from depression, ruined her love and lost her life.During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow Wu, was enraged to death by Zhuge Liang because of jealousy, suspicion and narrow-mindedness.Many very talented people have not achieved the success they wanted. An important reason is their emotions.

Emotions are an integral part of people's lives, excessive expansion of emotions will make life unbalanced, so choose appropriate ways to resolve them, such as sports, travel, talk, etc., to give emotions a proper chance to vent.These methods can properly slow down the expansion of negative emotions, but if you want to calm your emotions, you need to adjust your perspective on the problem.Many incidents that look irritating or sad on the surface, if you look at them from another angle, you can often find something positive and meaningful.

Since ancient times, one of the criteria for evaluating a person is to look at his self-cultivation and cultivation.From this, it can be roughly judged whether he is expected to become a talent and whether he can become a master.Therefore, regardless of his own abilities, it depends on whether he can properly control his emotions and how to show his self-cultivation and demeanor.

Emotions are the expression of will.The motivational function of the will is realized through the emotional mechanism.The concept that people usually refer to is a basically fixed view of some things, whether it is good or bad, or kind, or cunning... People will make judgments based on their own attitudes in their consciousness, and the "attitudes" It is also the function of emotions.Especially at certain critical moments, the urgency of the problem or the intensity of the contradiction will more strongly restrict the emotional response implied in the concept.

Sometimes, if you can't control your emotions and vent yourself regardless of the consequences, you will hurt others and yourself.Wang Anshi has a poem: "The wind blows the roof tile, and the tile falls on my head; I don't hate this tile, this tile is not free." The tile that hit our head was blown off by the wind, but it was not intentional. , a completely unconscious thing, why does it fill you with anger.It can be seen that people's anger is born in their own hearts, so no one can blame others.

Try to cool down the excitement and anger, otherwise, it will show your childishness and incompetence.

In life, everyone will inevitably have situations where they can't restrain their emotions.However, truly wise people will control their emotions well and know how to hold the scene.

Freud believes that many concepts are related to emotional experience from childhood, and even the concepts that are formed or reconstructed later will establish an indirect connection with the emotional basis of the original concepts.Freud explained these phenomena very thoroughly, and except for some pansexual content, most of them are correct.Next, we describe with some examples how beliefs affect motivation through emotions.

Social interaction can make people have positive emotional experience, and positive emotional experience will make people interact with others more actively, adapt to the environment better, and deal with emergencies, thus forming a virtuous circle.

In fact, many disasters in real life are caused by irrational and crazy actions when emotions cannot be vented normally.

Ken Wilber, a famous American psychologist, believes: "From the age of 1 to 3, you will enter the stage of emotional fantasy. The self must distinguish itself from the external material world, and identify itself with biological sentient beings, Then use perception to integrate the external material world. In other words, the self must break the sense of existence without boundaries, no longer identify with the material self and the material world, and establish a higher sense of existence, which is to recognize the body It is an existence independent of this world."

It can be seen that emotions are the inevitable product of the growth of consciousness.Everyone will have countless wishes and emotions in his life, but not many of them can be realized and satisfied in the end.In most cases, people will think of doing everything possible to suppress and restrain their emotions instead of letting them vent.However, even if a person can achieve suppression and restraint, it only means that emotions have been transferred from the "conscious level" to the "subconscious level", and its influence on people still exists, and they are always looking for opportunities to really vent.We should learn to adjust our emotions and live in a relaxed and happy life.It is extremely important for everyone to control their emotions and release them correctly.
