Reptilian Brain

For a scientific description see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalus


The reptilian brain is responsible for self-preservation and aggression. This is your primary function. It is already seen how much he is responsible for the situation of the person in life, his money, his health, his relationships, etc. Human behavior is in the direct function of the R-Complex. It explains why the tremendous self-sabotage humans make. Understanding the function of the Reptilian Brain means practically all human behavior, all the problems that exist on this planet and also what is the solution.

I'm not talking about crocodile brains. The R-Complex or Reptilian Brain is our brain. The deepest part of it.

It is of the utmost importance to understand how it works, because there the solution of the problems appears like magic pass. Have you noticed all the repetitive behaviors of self-sabotage that humans do? The R-Complex is responsible. Remember when I say that it is necessary to clear all the negative programming or pass through the catharsis? That's what all that programming is all about.

When it is associated with the limbic brain and the amygdala is unbeatable in handling.

In Daniel Goleman's book "Emotional Intelligence" is an extensive description of what an emotional kidnapping is.
All instinctive desires and fight / flight reactions come from him. Let's look at its characteristics:
All the reactions of aggressiveness with all the range of implicit violence stems from him. That's why it's so easy to create a war. Every time a person acts without thinking, he is actually thinking only of the reptilian brain. See the difference in velocity in the response to information between the amygdala and the neocortex.
The whole society is full of ritualistic behavior. It is essentially a function of the R-Complex. It is logical that these rituals imply a hierarchy. In all sectors of activity there is hierarchy. Every ceremony is based on this. This allows for domination, manipulation and exploitation.

Of course in a hierarchy the information is segmented so that only those who are at the top have all the information. Underneath each one knows only a small part. When I worked on data processing in a small company I had access to all the systems and all the programs of each system. All the information went through me. Later I went to work in a giant multinational and there only had access to a small part of a part of a system. Each analyst had access to only a tiny part of the system. No one could understand what the system was doing. Only the manager knew what that meant. If you understand how far information can be targeted you will understand just how few people really understand reality.

As information is power it is evident that the information can not be codified in a simple and intelligible way. It has to have multiple meanings. In this way you can say anything and only a few will understand the scope of what you are talking about. The reptilian brain is perfect for this. For he works with symbols. Symbols are extremely efficient for passing information and very economical. Look at a billboard on a road saying that for 29 kilometers you will find a certain diner. Just put the logo and the distance. All the rest of the information about the cafeteria is implied in the logo. The same applies to the idea of ​​power. One can symbolize the power so that whoever sees it knows with what it is dealing with.

This question of behavior before power (the reptilian brain is programmed to submit to power) is very clear when one experiences this. Once a data-processing manager was talking to me and having coffee. He held the coffee cup in his hands when he heard the director shout his name. The manager was paralyzed and did not know what to do with the coffee cup. If he could, he would have left the glass in the air and run into the principal's office. It took him a few seconds to concentrate and put the glass on a table and run off into the principal's office. Others may systematically be against the boss, even if this is illogical.

Insensitivity is another characteristic of the reptilian brain. You can see this in cruel treatments for animals, children, women, and weaker people in general. Look at our DVD about female genital mutilation to get an idea. Another way is rationalization. The other day I was having lunch and I heard a talk about a television series. One person said that the killer behavior of a leader was to defend the community! This is how millions of deaths in a war are justified, for example.

The reptilian brain loves to control everything that is possible.
No variable can be left out. Only absolute control matters and is pursued at all costs. This is a compulsive and infinite thing. It does not pass through him that there is anything like Chaos Theory, which prevents absolute control. In the same way the Uncertainty Principle is a nightmare for the R-Complex.

He abhors the indeterminacy and probabilities of Quantum Mechanics. Then you may have an idea where all the resistance comes from understanding Quantum Mechanics. Any information that checks the dominant view is immediately abolished. Without any analysis. If a person claims that the Earth revolves around the Sun it is burned at the stake!

In order to be able to absolute one has to control everything. One thing implies the other. In this way any view of the world that allows divergence of opinion should be abolished. Only a single worldview can exist. Hence we have the political persecutions, the wars, the Inquisition, the burning of books, the Library of Alexandria, the Library of Athens, the genocides, etc. In pursuit of a single control and absolute power.

One thing leads to another. In order to have absolute power one must have everything. Parties are not enough. Only everything will please. And this is a complicated thing because the Universe is great ... Hence comes the dissatisfaction with any amount of money that is earned, with the quantities of food beyond what is necessary to eat, with the compulsive purchases (remember that lady who had 800 pairs of shoes?), Etc. It is never enough. And possession has to be about everything and everyone. Nothing can be out of reach.
In order to own everything, you must control the territory. And each one marks the territory as it can. Some with atomic bombs and others peeing on the pole!
The sense of mastery gives great satisfaction to the reptilian brain. Do you remember that Nietsche said that there are only two types of happy people in this world? Those who have the reptilian brain totally in control.
All compulsion comes from the need to control, to possess, to dominate everything and everyone. This need is never satisfied, because the fear of not having enough is innate to the reptilian brain. So it is never enough.

Obsessive behaviors are the same thing. Fear is inherent in the reptilian brain. He fears all the time. Seeks absolute security all the time.

Imagine a car alarm that never turns off, even when you're driving the car !.

Of course, if we all seek total domination at all costs we will have eternal conflicts. That is exactly what happens. While a certain reptilian brain does not achieve absolute control, it submits itself to another. It's a form of security too. As long as he does not find a way to knock down what's above him. That is why the superior is always cruel and ruthless. You know that if you falter, the lower takes its place. In this way we have the hierarchies, which work so well. This allows you to face other competing hierarchies. Have you seen in Animal Planet a group of crocodiles eating an ox? Very instructive! This need to submit to ensure security allows wars and all atrocities, which are made "only by taking orders."

For the reptilian brain everything is a matter of survival of the fittest, fittest, most adaptable. Sound familiar? This justifies all the barbarity of wars.
From submission to worship we have only one step. It is a more efficient way of controlling by creating a worship than by having to breathe in fear all the time. It is more economical. Here also comes the maintenance of the status quo.

Of course, to create such a structure, there can only be one type of behavior. The stiffness, with nothing alternating or malleable. Without thinking, without questioning, without analyzing, etc. Every superstition is perfect for this. If not analyzed, it is possible to implant any belief or superstition in the most perfect way possible. Remember that it has been said that a repeated lie, the right number of times, will take real airs? Easier than taking candy from the little children or stealing the old lady's subway pass!

After a while, it gets easier because it's always been made that way! It's the tradition! Remember the story of the chimpanzees who beat up another chimpanzee simply because that's how it's always been done? And if a chimpanzee questions it, it will also be beaten.

Here too comes the view that this-world-is-all-that-exists. This world view gives a very nice sense of security to the reptilian brain. There is only what I perceive with my senses. That's why I can use cell phones and not think of waves. Any change in the status quo is seen as a threat and must be eliminated or ignored. That is why science advances funeral after funeral, as one physicist said.

The age-promoting system is also the reptilian brain. No matter the efficiency, but the age.
The system of laws is also faithfully followed by him. However absurd the laws are, they are followed. Failure to follow them has consequences for those below Alpha Male. The reptilian brain knows how to identify this promptly.

Any kind of belief can be implanted if it is repeated enough. History is full of these examples all the time. It works in function of all the features explained above. In the same way any culture can be easily implemented. Just have the means to spread whatever it is.
Feeling compassion for the pain of others is a sign of evolution. That would be a function of the neocortex. The reptilian brain is the reverse. For him everything is food.

Reptilian brain and psychic entropy are all about. Psychic entropy happens when we do not control our mind and let it "wander". Immediately the negative thoughts appear. This is because the energy has to be controlled or else it decays, that is, it loses energy and organization. For there to be growth there has to be an organizing mental focus. We have to control our mind so we do not have negative thoughts. Already know that whatever thoughts and feelings we attract. It turns out that if we control our mind (this is a function of the neocortex) the reptilian brain loses control. You have already seen that he is panicked about losing control, so he will do everything to get him back, that is, for you to have negative thoughts again. Sound familiar?

The dominant feeling of the reptilian brain is fear. Afraid of everything and everyone. This goes to the extreme fear of thinking that the world may not be as it is thought to be. This is an existential panic. Imagine the stress it causes. For the reptilian brain the space / time continuum does not exist. There is only now. Therefore, any trauma brought to memory causes the same reaction the first time. This is a valuable manipulation tool! And you know that all automatic organic functions are controlled by the reptilian brain. We do not have to think to breathe, digest food, etc. Think of the power the reptilian brain has to shape your emotions, your feelings, and your behaviors. This is how the person knocks the car to ruin the device that plays the cd!
Another feature is that it is a servo mechanism, that is, it does not learn from its own mistakes. This is a function of the neocortex. Therefore, the same mistakes will be made over and over again. Self-sabotage happens again and again. Always in the same situation, be it a job, a salary, a situation of improvement in life, etc.


That is why reptilian brain programming is done in childhood with complete efficiency. Everything the child experiences will be engraved with iron and fire. This behavior will be repeated by life outside. Unless it is deleted.

The whole sexual issue is controlled by the reptilian brain, so everything concerning sex has a transcendental importance in our society. Because it is by sex that the reptilian brain is easily programmed. All brainwashing done with sexual trauma is extremely effective. Look at the cases taken as Multiple Personality Disorder. And the sooner the trauma is foiled, the greater the efficiency.

In view of the above explained what to do?

Do we want to be free or not? Do we want to be happy or not? Do we want evolution or not? It is simple to escape from all of this above. The simple change of consciousness. Consciousness creates reality. Changed Consciousness changed reality. No physical act is necessary. Just change consciousness. The world view. It is a purely internal change. The shift from consciousness to a new paradigm. Just change the worldview. Expand awareness of what reality is. It is possible to decrease and eliminate control of the reptilian brain. It can be fully transmuted. It is possible to be free of the reptilian brain. When one has reached the level of Consciousness of union with the Whole, it is free from the reptilian brain.

This is what Harmonic Resonance lets you do. That is the ultimate goal.
