The concept of emotional templates |
|
| In the chapter in Human Body and Birth, we highlighted the crucial nature of emotions in the general function of learning. We also focused on their purpose and operation in recall. | ||
| We identified that emotions operate much faster that the conscious mind can comprehend and that once our mind catches up, emotions are likely to already have changed. | ||
|
||
| We also identified that every memory during our life is only possible from emotions being present. We explained this through the function of emotions creating "constant wave states" in certain parts of the brain by activating signals from parts of the body first. | ||
| We also identified the types of basic emotions that exist and the physical features. In this section, we look at how the emotions come together to form "templates" on which memories are stored and actions within the body occur. | ||
| 18.10.1 | What is an emotion template? | |
| An emotion template is a relative mix of primordial emotions connected to a memory of a pattern that when this pattern is observed or experienced again, causes the emotion template to be enacted firstly by "memory pattern matching", then secondly by the emotion memory being re-created by the hypothalamus to physically alter the body and align the body and mind into that previously learned emotional state. | ||
| This process is involuntary- in others words, the conscious mind has no say in what emotional template is put in place in the first instance. It only has the right to veto and to enhance or diminish the construction of the emotional template to create a new template. If the environment shifts too suddenly, then another template will fall automatically into place and the conscious mind will have no say in the switch. Emotional template are essential to memory and recall. Affecting the functioning of the endocrine (gland/hormone) system severely affects memory recall and learning. The non functioning of certain glands, or misalignment, can not only prevent learning or recall, but can even make learning and recall of certain events difficult. | ||
| Later in this chapter, we will be looking at groupings of mind emotional templates to construct "mind sets", that then build up a person's personality. | ||
| For the purpose of representing emotional templates, the diagram opposite is used in varying shades. It symbolically represents the regions of the brain and the various states we will see the brain wave patterns, depending on certain emotions. | ||
