WHENEVER THE AROUSAL OF REPRESSED EMOTION CRASHES INTO TODAY’S INTELLIGENT TRAIN OF THOUGHT, MENTAL COMPLEXITY DIZZIES OUR PROCESSORS’ CONNECTION TO CLARITY

 If it’s true that the arousal of emotional conflict creates a state of mental complexity that dizzies our processors’connection to clarity then let's not review the post in which intuition guided me to purposely run one word into the next so as to dizzy your processor’s natural connection to clarity—unless you'd like to feel dizzy, again.

Instead, let's simplify mental complexity by separating those words, one from another, followed by publishing the finished product after the editing process feels complete to this author—and as this author has completed both tasks—here it is:

Just as the eye of an emotional hurricane, swirling round and round, picks up pieces of this and that from here and there, exacerbating dark clouds of confusion to kick up so much mental complexity as to signal the release of adrenaline, which produces an anxious reaction that hijacks our thought processors’ conscious connection to clarity so that all we can see (and feel) is a distorted view of reality, which unconsciously breathes life into the anesthetized sense of undeserved guilt, which has haunted the subconscious portion of our minds ever since childhood when we didn’t feel good enough or bright enough, or smart enough or pretty enough or tall enough or strong enough or sweet enough or helpful enough or thin enough or popular enough (etc.) to feel worthy of accepting love—and thus do over achievers, who strive for the unattainable goal of perfection, develop ...

Each time a current event catalyzes this subterranean hurricane of unresolved anxiety to swirl to the surface in an unidentified state, your think tank's ability to track well balanced trains of thought will be comprised by the arousal of yesteryear’s repressed inner conflicts, which have grow so complex, over time, as to blind your intelligence to personal need to heighten your conscious awareness so as to see your inner self ever more clearly resulting in deepening your processor's understanding of your whole self ever more thoroughly.

As this state of heightened awareness continues to develop, an ever deepening sense of mental relaxation encourages your processor to conjoin, more often, with insight-driven trains of intuitive thought that expose contradictions within your character traits, which ride out of our depths on flashes of insight, serving to illuminate visions of hindsight so objective in nature as to see how easily our defense systems had blinded us from seeing those times when a fearfully narrowed mind set refused to take a positively focused leap of faith toward need to create change for the better, resulting in personal growth spurts, which expand the scope of our brains' 'cameras', so as to open the shutters on closed mindsets, freeing our think tanks to absorb a brand new, wide angled snapshot of yesteryear's family interactions as the full spectrum of each family member's character traits (which our memories had once cast in stone as black or white) refocuses so clearly that our mind’s eye grows aware of the fact that each one of us has always nurtured  a multi-dimensional personality.

Once our personal quest identifies the role that each one had unconsciously adopted as our family saga continued to develop, we compile an album of snapshots, which as a whole will offer up the bigger picture of when and why defensive misperceptions developed within the heads of people who loved each other deeply until a black and white distorted view of each other's character traits grew so darkly angered as to cast each other into molds that disparage even our most worthy character traits so as to cause a person, who has consciously chosen to carve an existential path so conscientiously as to step on no one's toes, to see personal changes for the better staring back from within his or her mirror while the defense system’s of others may view that person in transition as having transformed into Stranger Danger, and no matter how often we carefully, considerately and compassionately express the depth of our personal need for change, every conversational exchange transforms people who love each other into strangers who seemingly threaten each other's sense of personal safety, primarily for this reason—walls of defensive denial—blind us from spotlighting this classic fact of life:  Human nature feels threatened by changes, which feel so emotionally complex as to be frequently misunderstood. And misunderstanding will darken our views of each other until family members gain insight into each one’s need to muster the courage and humility to identify the existence of their own personas, which, being false fronts, must be set aside in time out so as to gain further insight into identifying repressed fears that blind us to subconscious need to exhume our own personal strengths and vulnerabilities—many of which had been buried alive in a deeply repressed, obtuse and unclear state of being during childhood—and thus, not until everyone concerned develops the humility to place defensive attitudes in time out so as to clearly see the rainbow of kaleidoscopic character traits that each adult family member has absorbed—over time—will relationships, which had irritated each other’s generosity of spirit half to death, blossom anew.

Though we all know that—Divided we fall short of achieving life's most illusive long range goals; united we stand strong until we succeed—it's the rare family that stops power struggling long enough to work together toward resolving complex conflicts by adopting a positive attitude that proves so kind-hearted, mutually respectful and calmly soulful as to iron out yesteryear’s defensive wrinkles by embracing the classic nature of this universal solution-seeking creed:
—All for one and one for all—

WHY DID EVERY THOUGHT PENNED IN YESTERDAY’S POST RUN TOGETHER?

Yesterday, I was awakened at dawn when an intuitive train of thought guided the conscious portion of my mind to pen a post in such a way as to offer you a snapshot of the emotional conflict that is triggered whenever something experienced, today, arouses deeply repressed memories, which had heaped undeserved guilt upon your young head, to swirl around within the subconscious portion of your mind, and as long as the emotional arousal of unidentified moments from your past run into an experience that you’ve come to value highly, today, conflicting emotions, crashing into each other, will create a sense of internal confusion, signaling anxiety, born of combustible upheaval, to dizzy the intelligent clarity of your thought processor, and once anxious tension electrifies the very air we breathe, our defense systems place our survival instincts on alert, which, in the absence of a well,practiced, line of emotionally self disciplined control, catalyze our brain functions to switch tracks away from intelligent, solution seeking thought processing toward charging every ion of mental and physical energy to fight/flee/freeze, thus limiting our conscious choices as if to save our lives from that which feels like a near and present danger closing in when time well spent in deep contemplation releases crystal clear insights concerning reality, which illuminate this fact:  The danger we fear is actually long past; however the haunting nature of that danger will continue to stimulate anxiety to arise anew as long as fearsome memories lumber around within the caged state of emotional repression inside our heads.

At first, inner need to retrieve anesthetized emotional reactions feels so eerie as to echo the same degree of fear that we’d felt during those childhood moments when fate offered your connection to inner peace and personal safety (and mine) sound reason to shatter, arousing spiking anxiety to alert your survival instincts (and mine) to remain on guard 24/7, and thus did we develop tightly wound traits, which, with EMDR therapy, will uncoil, over time, so as to release inner tension so slowly as to maintain whatever vestiges of personal safety we’ve managed to regain as adults.

As the astutely trained therapist encourages reoressed fear to give way to courage to explore today’s anxious reactions ever more deeply than had been possible before we set out on a quest to become intimately acquainted with fears that we’d denied as our own, you and I will continue to take cautious steps forward toward identifying emotional terrors, which have remained buried alive deep inside the subconscious portions of our brains.

Once insight, concerning each stormy terror, which was much too emotionally complex for an intelligent child’s processor to fathom, has been clearly identified, contemplated and understood by the knowledable adult whom you and I have chosen to grow to be, festering wounds to our self esteem are healed and self imposed guilt, which has haunted our conscious awareness, forever, melts away, layer by layer, clearing our head space to feel so free of black and white misinformation and misperception as to inspire our processors to plant a garden of insight-driven, intuitive thoughts that flourish so as to blossom with a technicolored sense of deeper truths that nourish our newly healed connection to inner peace straight into the very core of our good souls.  And having watched us working toward carving a path toward recreating a well balanced sense of self, the spirit of Socrates will swoop down from in high to whisper classic words of wisdom into ears that hunger for insight, and once it becomes apparent that our quest is meeting with success, the sage will smile while offering us both a healthy high five before the flutter of his wingspan takes flight to soar on high until his mind’s eye spies another deeply troubled, good soul, who, having little conscious clue of the courageous quest for inner peace that lies directly ahead, is not yet aware of the kind hearted spirit of the sage, who, armed with a back pack bursting with classic insights, is about to perch on the shoulder of another guilt-ridden guy or gal, who’s about to get lucky as bright flashes of insight spotlight deeper truths that relieve good people of undeserved guilt, which runs interference with our intelligent connection to solution seeking smarts more frequently than the conscious portion of our thought processors know.

Want a hint that will help you to clarify information that
I chose to smoosh into yesterday’s post so as to simulate
Your defense system thwarting your think tank from
Easily absorbing knowledge that is
Readily available for public consumption?
Hopefully, tomorrow will offer up time to
Lessen your frustration, born of my having caused
Your processor to experience a sense of heightening
Confusion simulating the defensive uprising of
Frustration we feel when subconscious fears, haunting
Our conscious minds, give rise to emotional reactions (based in
Repressed memories) that remain so consciously numbed as to
Be unexplored, spotlighting the fact that our defense systems are
Preprogrammed within the womb to deceive
Our conscious awareness to misperceive
The real reason as to why inner peaceshattered during
Childhood’s deeply distressed, most confounding
Moments of emotional upheaval—has not yet been
Mindfully reassembled, piece by missing piece, so as to
Recover your mind’s long absent, deeply deserved angle of repose—

WHY ARE OLD FRIENDS THE BEST FRIENDS?

Simply put—
Old friends are the best friends—why?
Because these treasured friendships
Have stood the test of time
Currently, two couples, friends from
Our college days, are in town
One husband and wife, who call Seattle home
Are what we call snowbirds as, each year
They fly south to winter ‘neath the warmth of
The sun during the wet, dreary months when
Their home, up north weathers downpours of
Rain or downfalls of snow and not much else in between
The second couple, who for decades have
Feathered their nest in San Diego, are enjoying
Our five star guest room, this weekend
And as, over these many years, we six have celebrated
The good times, together, as well as being present whenever
Life offered reason for one or another to weather
A spectrum of deeply personal,-wrenching storms, and
With that said, you can imagine our delight, as over
Recent years, we’ve been thoroughly enjoying
Weekends filled with heartfelt gratitude for
Each other’s friendship, knowing that
Life is short, and as we’ve advanced in age
This reality has become crystal clear to one and all:
Partaking in each other’s company during these
Treasured weekends will be ours to enjoy only
As long as the fickle finger of fate gifts
Each of us with the good fortune of
Long life and good health—And as the first signs of
Stirrings can be heard beyond my bedroom door
It’s likely that my guests, who have awakened, are
Hoping to smell the coffee, which has yet to be brewed

CRYSTAL CLEAR INSIGHT SPOTLIGHTS HOW BEST TO CALM OUR PROCESSORS SO AS TO RELEASE INTUITIVE TRAINS OF THOUGHT NATURALLY, OVER TIME

Whereas the anxious arousal of our basic (animal) instincts
Limits our processors’ intelligence to consider only
Fighting, fleeing or freezing in place to ‘save our lives’
The calmed emergence of intuitive thought expands
The intelligence of our processors so as to weave together
Creative thinking with logic when solution seeking is necessary

Once today’s simplified distinction between
Instinctive thought (which, being directly related to
Survival of the fittest, is anxiety producing and
Therefore, negatively focused in nature) and
Intuitive thought (which is solution oriented and
Peaceably positively focused in nature)
Has been absorbed, you, too, may choose to train
Your thought processor to take a self disciplined
Time out as soon as spiking frustration or fear catalyzes
 A sudden need to bite off your opponent’s head or else
It’s likely that in the absence of time out
Basic animal instincts will be uncaged on both sides

JUST TO BE CLEAR ABOUT MY SELF ASSERTIVE VOICE

 Most people who think to know me well
Would be surprised to hear that
The on-going development of
My self assertive voice is always
Transitioning toward strengthening just as
My conscious awareness is always questing to
Gain insight as to how best to ascend to
The next level of emotional maturation, and
As I’d facilitated classes and seminars regarding
The acquisition of leadership skills for decades
No one was more surprised at my inner need to
Identify why, at times, my voice was silenced by
The arousal of subconscious fear than me ...

Reflection suggests that
The intuitive thought penned above
Surfaced clearly for me a few years back when
My intelligence absorbed sound reason to
Feel drawn into a deeply pensive
State of mind so that I—just like
Thoreau—found myself pacing
Quietly around my own personal
Walden Pond until I came to see that
During profoundly peaceful moments of solitude
My thought processor (like a hummingbird
In need of nourishment flitting from
Flower to flower) ponders over this and that until
Unexpected flashes of insight offer me
Moments of clarity, which brighten my awareness to
Such a degree as to create spots of transparency within
My self protective wall of denial, and
What do I see staring back at me?
I see deeper truths regarding positively focused and
Negatively focused attitudes, which had distorted
My self image, and suddenly I can see one aspect or
Another of me—not as I’d envisioned myself to be but
As I really am at this specific moment in time

As one insight ignites another
Let’s end today’s post with an insight that
Deserves serious consideration:
Intuitive powers of the human mind and
Deeper truths that stand the test of time are
Indivisibly, classically and universally intertwined ...

HOW DO I DO IT? THIS INTUITION THING?

Well, first of all—
I don’t do anything
Intuitive trains of thought
Emerge on their own when
My brain feels so
Pensively peaceful that
Each of its functions
Operate calmly in unison like
Unique individuals in a family, who
(Rather than power struggling
Disrespectfully for dominance)
Have grown so well-practiced at
Harmonizing as to have developed
A self disciplined, well balanced
Approach toward working together for
The common good of
One and all as would
A seasoned team of players, who
Once on the field, operate
With the practiced precision
Of a surgical team that’s been trained to
Come together in support of
The surgeon, who’s been trained
To take scalpel in hand, slice open
A sleeping person, take
A well-educated look around inside so as
To identify and carefully remove
The offending intrusion of
Whatever dis-ease is running interference with
The patient’s natural connection to
Good health so that with compassionate caretakers in
Attendance the person will awaken to
Find that, over time, his/her diminished energy level will
Begin to increase, little by little, as the human body
Heals itself, intuitively, from the inside out just as is
True of the wounded portion of
The human brain, once the primary reason for
Dis-ease has been astutely identified and
Successfully eased so that as chronic inner tension lessens
 Inner peace is naturally recovered, and if you think
I awakened, this morning, with so much as
A conscious clue that my brain’s well practiced
Power of intuitive thought would direct
My eyes to open, my arm to reach out and take
iPad in hand so that my pointer could
Dance all over the keyboard until
Today’s post had seemingly penned itself—
Please think again ...
