1392 CLARITY

Knowing that two heads can be better than one (when both brains remain calmly focused on seeking a solution that will stand the test of time), I'm not surprised when my sons call to brainstorm with me, and when we've discussed whatever dilemma weighs heavy on their minds, I ask them to let me know if our conversation bore fruit or not.  So rather than leaving your curiosity hanging in the air, I'm glad to say that having thought to employ my Line of Control (in order to brainstorm calmly with myself), paid off in this way:  Once I regained control over my think thank, anxiety diminished in direct proportion to my rise in self confidence (concerning my solution seeker's ability to calm my defense system down), and as my survival instinct retreated, my faith in the power of intuition re-emerged, catalyzing this change for the better to take place, over night:  I awoke with insight directing its spotlight toward the self defeating attitude, which (based in a painful, childhood experience) had drained my think tank of positive focus.  That stepping stone toward rebalancing my attitude would not have materialized if my intelligence had not consciously coached my defense system to tolerate heightened degrees of anxiety (born of an unnamed childhood fear), thus freeing my intuitive powers to withdraw self soothing insights from within File #1 of my memory's safe deposit box, and in this way did my well practiced Line of Control save my thought processor from capitulating to escalating anxiety, which, left on its own, fuels my decision-making process with negatively focused tension that turns me into my own worst enemy for this reason:  Escalating anxiety stimulates our survival instinct to trigger a fight/flee/freeze reaction, thus transforming a positively charged energy field into a negatively focused sense of emotional static, which, based in confusion, runs interference with clarity (which relies upon a well grounded balance between emotion and logic).  Once emotional static disrupts a person's sense of balance, decisions may be finalized before every puzzling piece of an inner conflict has been assembled so calmly as to astutely illuminate the bigger picture, which a darkly focused thought processor, pulsing with adrenalin (fight, flee freeze), can not yet fathom ...
