The Reactive Mind

It helps to know what things are. Since psychologists and psychiatrists are generally ignorant of the mind, relying instead on brain-altering drugs and "coping mechanisms" as solutions for failed control over symptoms of brokenness, I thought to lay it out here. 

There are three parts to a mind -- analytical, reactive, and somatic. This article lays out the anatomy of the reactive mind.

For those behind the curve, let's clarify some things. First, the brain is a wet transducer, not the mind. Consciousness, or conscious attention, is a biological process whereby uncertainty and unknowns are mediated through an orienting reflex in response to not-knowing a thing. Right and left hemispheres specialize in that regard, not as creative vs. analytical as such, but as gestalt exploratory (right) versus compartmentalized known-about (left). Awareness as a phenomenon sits outside of biological processes and is distinct from consciousness; the mechanisms by which the analytical mind come to own a being are variously described and solved elsewhere. If you're looking to remain dumb and blind, close this site and go study the mental splooge celebrated upon the altars of somnambulant doctors and academics.

For those who remain, let's begin...

A reactive mind thinks only in identities, A = B, this *is* that. It weaves and presents associations stored in words, pictures, and computations. These considerations often have command value, such as enforced beliefs that a person is willing to diminish another to protect. (Only cuckolds run by their reactive minds play identity politics.)

In a practical sense, the reactive mind and its contents are equivalent. They are functionally identical, a kind of automatic memory chaining, similarity sparking associated recollection. Reactive content gets triggered by likeness -- similar sensations (e.g., look, smell, taste) recall earlier memories; earlier, similar events load prior ones; when a file is loaded, its contents get loaded; when settled detritus gets trudged up from the bottom of a lake, the waters get murky.

In this context, "reactive" is meant not merely as response to stimuli but automatic action. A good way to look at it is as your attention units being strewn throughout time and space; when a thing happens, you re-act out those other spaces and times, acting out those prior incidents as if you are still there, often atop your present time.

Analogous biological processes occur in animal nervous systems, because manifestation in this physical universe is fractal in nature, but the hardcore reactive content binding you to universes, postulates, disagreements, losses, lies, and failures vastly predates your current incarnation.

Granted, not everyone has lived before (or will again), but this content refers to those who have and will.

The core of the reactive mind in permanent restimulation consists of disagreement, cycles of long duration, implanted programming, prior decisions dividing Self, collapsed spaces, and negations about which one is actively not-knowing. With the proper technology, it is possible to eradicate this core, handling it forever.

In the meantime, consider pain and unconsciousness as the glue that sticks content to you. This is why there are several "lowest denominator" incidents (i.e., that most have been through) involving imprinted content received under great duress. It's so common that one group of researchers named the process "implanting," the insertion of various alien content into your reactive mind while, for example, being electrocuted, disoriented with drugs, being shoved into and pulled out of a succession of bodies, or some other creative way of torturously programming others into behavioral patterns.

Roughly 99.999% of every choice, understanding, and experience observable from one's fellow man is a direct acting out of programmed content, about 60% of which was installed by others and the rest being self-inflicted. The results of uncovering and clearing out this unconscious robotization are extraordinary, unlocking multiple spiritual powers and restoring a person to himself.

There are three primary reasons people do not readily recall having lived before, why they don't remember existing prior to this physical universe, and how each came to experience anything other than being complete sovereign cause in this and all other universes. The first is that they do not want to; by acting not-responsible, not-cause, and not-source; by justifying harm, refusing to confront, withdrawing, lying, and choosing a succession of conjured substitutes for having oneself; through such activities, beings come to experience sensations of risk, hell, effect, and self-consuming pleasure/decay born of compressing more dimensions into fewer ones. We've gone to amazing lengths to pass the time, to play games, experience sensations, and otherwise fulfill both common and individual goals.

The second reason for persisting fallen states is consequence, fallout from falling into one's own traps -- denials, acting against oneself like a house divided against itself, acting within persisting contexts as if false things are true, and assigning responsibility away from self. This kind of cross-purpose behavior places one at odds with himself, often resulting in introspection and withdrawal from larger contexts. In effect, a being gets smaller and smaller down this path, increasingly compressed and solid with less and less available attention. Down this road one becomes a dullard, increasingly congested with wrong (and usually pigheaded) ideas, dramatizing unworkable solutions to malframed problems. Thus, he loses more frequently and, unless he turns things around, spirals into decay cycles of failure and sub-death behavior. Most medical doctors, politicians, academics, and public school teachers are pretty far down this road.

The third reason for perpetual loser forgetfulness is reflected in the parables of prisoners within a hellish cauldron who, embittered and suffering, continually drag every other prisoner down to share in their misery and horror. Perhaps the most efficient prison is one in which the prisoners serve as the guards as well, hindering the escape or redemption of any other prisoners. Adjoining scenarios include the flagellation of people forcing self-atonement and actual prison guards/torturers.

There are a few others, but those are the three main contributors to a person remaining in such horrible condition that he's come to believe  there's only this lifetime, that a being is a body or a mind, can't remember prior lifetimes or universes, or regards being a "respectable person" or "educated expert" as something the devil would wipe his ass with.

Anyways, less than 5% of the reactive mind exists in permanent restimulation, and it defines one's prison walls. There's also a single incident sticking one's reactive mind to him, though it is not directly addressable until a person has discharged a good portion of the shit ruining his life. 

The remaining 95% of the reactive mind contains content only briefly occurring to a person, displaying itself upon the "mind's eye" and subsequently resolving rather quickly. Once this ever-active 1/20 is worked off, a person no longer lives in unconscious repetition, automatically living out garbage programming forever.

This is by design, in that anyone who isn't completely aware of all this in present time is actively, intentionally obscuring it.

Reactive minds tend to run people like robots because most of its meaty apparatus operates in the dark, unconsciously click-click-clicking away. About 4% of enacted misapprehension on this is legitimate ignorance, and reading this information will straighten it out; the remaining 96% is vanity, performative critique, or intentional self/other sabotage.

The fallen can be real assholes.
