How to Discreate Realities.<br /><br />Negative identities (NIRs: Negative Identity Realities) are the cause of all negative emotions.<br />Every negative emotion indicates the activation of a negative identity.<br /><br />BE causes FEEL: IDENTITIES cause EMOTIONS — and are the only cause of emotion. Every negative thought and emotion can be traced to identities. Negative identities that deny or suppress power or value, generate negative emotions. Positive identities, those that affirm power and value, trigger positive emotions. It is impossible to separate emotion (how you feel) from identity (who you are). To eliminate any negative emotion it is only necessary to discreate the negative identity.<br /><br />In the center of every moment of emotional pain and suffering there is, always, without exception, a negative identity. Changing an identity—easy to do with Psycanic Energy Processing—will change the entire sequence of emotion, thought, and behavior that is generated by that identity.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900870923576954613.post-89164038514762461712014-04-27T20:14:08.999+01:002014-04-27T20:14:08.999+01:00I agree.

Either Hart is correct, and he may be, in which case free will is magical or he is wrong and free will cannot be real.<br />Interesting allusion to humanism you make; do you think humanism is antithetical to the idea that we are contiguous with other species?Steve Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243178223616240845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900870923576954613.post-3290224530081712452014-04-27T17:26:10.810+01:002014-04-27T17:26:10.810+01:00Very good read.

I have never had much interest in the god or no god debate, I'm all about can meat think, which it clearly can, and, given Libet plus common sense, free will is an illusion. I have a dog and from him have learnt we are very similar in how our minds work. Emotional response is fascinating, serotonin stretching back in to quite primitive creatures. Kandel also interests me finding memory in sea slugs. Here is where i struggle with humanists. I feel they have taken darwin who aligned us with the other animals and missed this point, perhaps his greatest thought, that we are animals. A dog acts then may suffer trying to understand his actions, and this is how it is with humans. We do, then construct a narrative to support our actions.
