Did anybody think that what we are today is the result of what we experienced in our environment from birth through the first 12 years? We learn to live through adaptation for survival, to create more of our own images and to protect the clan/ group of us.
Alas! Recently we see more family members hate each other, no unity and even resort to killing. We see more dis-ease.
For a moment, if we pause and reflect on our thoughts and reactions, we may even develop good physical body, emotional and physical health. Then we can really create an intoxicating wave of love, compassion, concern and good thoughts, words and actions.
Our 5-senses take sights, sounds, smell, taste and touch to the hindbrain, and
mid brain - A transmission system.Then there is a memory system that
has retrieval system, referencing system and an infinite storage capacity.
Perception system grades the sensory input. Then there is mid brain reaction system,
mostly motor. Higher cognitive sensory system has the discrimination and judgement.When
thoughts lead to anger, jealousy, hatred, and miscellaneous mood swings, the higher brain
function discriminates and brings back the normal state of mind and being.
This is called

homeostasis.The human body remains healthy because of this, inner balance - "Homeostasis" which constantly happens without our knowledge.Lungs take fresh air, keep oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide 16-20 times/minute. Kidneys filter and excrete unwanted chemicals. Intestines discard unused, unwanted food and White blood cells are destroyed every 8 hours and create new cells, Red blood cells are destroyed every 120 days for new cells.
But why does the mind keep unwanted emotions?
Is this not what is causing emotional and physical Dis-Ease?
Why can't we bring Homeostasis by using higher brain-function, of the hippocampus,
amygdala and the frontal lobes? If only the 5-senses are discretely used for good
sensory intake, human beings will create a heaven on earth!
"Every second makes a new birth; it is a fresh chance for achieving a new victory.
The chief duty of man is investigation into the inherent truth in creation, through love,
dedication and enquiry, with undeterred faith in the self."
-Sai
