Page one of two ⋅ With the six organs of sensation (ayatana) ꅖེམཆེད in the human body, the perception of our feelings arises through contact with reality. These sensory gates include eyes for contact with objects, ears with sound, nose with smell, mouth with taste, body with sensations, and consciousness for contact with thought.
These stimuli in the hypothalamus cause the development of our five primal drives: The first survival instinct stimulates food intake, which satisfies the second self-preservation instinct in the limbic system. The evolutionary drives of third sexuality, fourth fear and fifth violence stimulates the essence of our emerging personality. [1]
The survival and self-preservation instinct, in its interaction with the fear instinct, causes a direct impulse of security or threat. Security tends towards sexuality; threats lead to escape or aggression. Alcoholism, drugs or harmful sense foods cause disinhibiting behavior and subconscious conditioning to violence in the mesolimbic system.

In addition, the limbic system (hypothalamus) regulates the necessary processes that keep the organism alive. This includes the control of “breathing, circulation, body temperature, food digestion, sleeping and waking as well as consciousness and reaction state.” [2] The resulting behavioristic reactions in copulatory behavior, caring for ourselves and our closest relatives result in defence or attack against threats in territorial behavior, stress reactions against burdens and food supply.
There are four types of food that contribute to change in the limbic system: edible food, sense food, action intentions and consciousness. [3] When watching a film, the contact in the visual and auditory nerves stimulates the constitution of our primal instincts. The limbic system acts like a matrix of perception; in the stream of these influences, the matrix selects between pleasant, neutral and unpleasant feelings. Unpleasant stimulation of parts of the hypothalamus causes anger. Parts of the amygdala cause unpleasant fear. Parts of the mesolimbic system cause pleasant pleasure. The interaction of emotions can have lasting effects and cause mental illnesses in self-esteem.
Self-test: For example, in collectivism, [4] watch martial arts, a boxing match, or an aggressive football game (please do not take disinhibiting drugs such as alcohol or chemical substances). Rate your feelings on a scale from 0 (absolutely unbearable) to 10 (very pleasant). If the value is below 3, it is better to stop the self-test (you are probably a very empathetic person who has good access to your feelings). If the value is above 5, your emotional state causes a narrowed consciousness, the development of selflessness or ignorance. This conditions coldness, egoism, ruthlessness or indifference. You can remember this in the theorem: competition create war between families. [5]
In selfless people, the organism simulates the state of emotions by rewarding itself and releasing dopamine. The messenger of the reward system in the brain, dopamine is released when, for example, long-sought goals are achieved and a desire or the prospect of reward motivates us to take an action.
The man in the essence of the woman
According to evolutionary biology, it is practical if the male embryo in the womb initially forms in the same way as the female. By the tenth week of pregnancy, the embryo grows into a bisexual hermaphrodite. The nipples develop very early in the embryo, before the sexual organs arise. The influence of testosterone creates the penis and testicles in the male embryo; Without the influence of testosterone, the clitoris and labia develops in the female embryo. Puberty and sex hormone Estradiol lead to the full development of the breasts and mammary glands in the growing woman. Theoretically, the stimulus of breastfeeding on the nipple could also stimulate milk production in men. Of course, a man’s milk production is not enough to cover the needs of an embryo. [6]
Fear processing
Fear arises as a mental formation in the brain area of the amygdala of the limbic system. As emotional beings, we view fear as a state of anticipated danger. The basic fears of humans include fear of change, fear of finality, fear of closeness and fear of becoming oneself. [7] An irrational fear is called a phobia. In our psyche and in the amygdala region, the perception of a threat differentiates and judges pleasant, neutral and unpleasant feelings.
Fear causes physiological changes in people that can cause behavioral responses such as: e.g. an aggressive reaction, freezing or fainting. If the stimulus represents a threat, information goes to the brainstem and prefrontal cortex, where the mental formation of our feelings is perceived. For millions of years, our protective and survival mechanisms have been taking vital counter-reactions in our genes by confronting fear or trying to escape it.
In political power development and ancient religions, fear was often used as a system of oppression. The enslavement of our human family has been maintained for millennia by power, oppression, brutal violence and fear. The Romans spread fear and terror against any resistance to the imperial system and displayed the inhumane sadistic crucifixion. The church terrorized with intimidating inquisition, gruesome witch burnings, and torture that forced every accused to confess. Nazis understood fear as intimidation with Holocaust and genocide of their racial ideology and destroyed all resistance of charity.
Gods, dictators, despots, tyrants, flags and kings of fear, damnation and revenge have probably only been known since the emergence of great civilizations. The rulers obviously needed this terror to ensure their demands and the obedience of their subordinates; fear and punishment are the most effective means of enforcing obedience.
Aggression and violence
The instinct for violence has a deeply rooted history in the limbic system. In snowy regions without plants, Homo sapiens have relied on violence to find food for the last 200,000 years. [8] Aggression and violence is the use of physical force to injure or kill living beings, in this process the drive also unleashes pain, injury, death, damage or destruction. The aggressive instinct is at an evolutionary level of permanent development and can be stimulated in many areas through its constructive stimulation. Rival competition, ruthless profit-seeking, inflammatory politics, hateful militarism or police operations, aggressive sports, brutal films, disinhibiting games, escalating groups or hard drugs and their side effects cause the greatest changes in the limbic system.
Most studies on violence and aggression have found testosterone to be linked to delinquency, violent crime, and alcoholism. A woman’s body only produces a small proportion of testosterone; larger amounts would have devastating effects on the female genitals and their ability to function. In most species, masculine creatures are more aggressive than feminine ones. [9] Any perception that turns into a reaction of violence affects the brain. Two areas in the cerebrum are activated, the putamen and the insular cortex. With the impulse from the putamen, an assessment is made in the brain in order to attack or flee. Our senses activate unsettling stimuli in the insular cortex, causing an action to take place from both areas through the hypothalamus.

War is the worst form of violence. Numerous experiments prove that people can be easily and quickly driven to violence during militarism. Obedience gives rise to a lack of empathy in collective soldiering. Every reckless action by the soldier has far-reaching consequences that permanently affect the mesolimbic system in the brain. These stimuli reduce human empathic feelings and release the neurotransmitter dopamine. For many people, this state appears as if they have sensations that act like a drug and appear simulated emotions.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on civilians were the most brutal attacks on the human family to date; 100,000 people died immediately and another 30,000 people died as a result. [10] This action by the USA forced Japan to surrender and ended the cruelest war in human history on September 2, 1945. As a result of the aggressive German Wehrmacht, 3 percent of the entire world population died (70-85 million people on the planet Earth, 1940). [11] Besides humans, there are only poisonous state-building ants that carry out hateful wars or resulting enslavement.
The capacity of morality /or/ Meta eternity
Our consciousness is a complex development of perception and memory. Jainism has been providing information about how the subconscious functions in mental structures or formations for over 5,000 years through ancient records and images. Buddhism adopted and further developed these teachings. The teachings differ between the 12 stages of Jainism (as the wheel of life ꅒིད་པའི་འཁོར་ལོ in ancient illustration to see) and the Buddhist teachings, which are more presented as skandhas ꆓང་པོ་ꄉ or five aggregates.
The ancient teachings have been further developed through new meditation techniques of Buddhist practitioners and now describe fifty-one categories [12] of mental formations previously only concentrated by three poisons ꆉག་གꈐམ (ignorance, greed and hate). These mental formations are located in the centre of the human brain (limbic system) and can also be interpreted using our new medical procedures.
The /Five Aggregates/ can be defined as follow:
The human body (rupa) གꈃགས། and its organism. This includes our five sense organs, which consist of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. (It was in the beginning coral and algaes: the body of life – DNA was created in the progress of stability).
The consciousness (vijnana) ꄢམ་ཤེས། aggregate which forms existence and memory. (The ground of all our fifty-one mental formations in the form of seeds). If an organism can change his location with cilia, fins, wings, arms, legs or tails it makes sense to remember where his body was. This means e.g. to learn the difference between eatable food, salt or sweet water and to overwrite ignorance into experiences of education.
Perception (samjna) འꆉཤེས། is the aggregate which build through the ayatana contact with reality and forms existence into formations of memory. In our species has perception the most intensive effect to know yourself. We declare it ego.
The matrix or sieve inside our brain consists 51 evolutionary mental formations (samskara) འꆉ་ꆔེད།. According to the teachings, these are seeds in this subtle aggregate that we humans stimulate through our perception and activate from their subconscious state. (e.g. propaganda, advertising, militarism, ego shooter, aggressive games, operant conditioning or collectivism have a very high influence of ego stimulation).
This effect creates emotional moods that we perceive as feelings (verdana) ཚོར་བ། in the prefrontal cortex. These have the strongest influence through our immediate family, which forms the most emotional conditioning in our memories. Finally we call this aggregate: love, respect or hate, every time in pleasant, neutral or unpleasant feelings.
It is unnecessary to mention, what influence these stimuli have on ADHD children. It is also not worth mentioning how hatred or violence manifests itself in us humans and results in crucial war or anti-conditioning of the global human family. There is no need to tell our species anything else ⋅ ꅅང་ꅹབ་
About empathy for compassion
Empathy is a word that means that someone is able to share or understand the emotions and feelings of another person. Someone may need to have a certain amount of empathy before they are able to feel compassion. Compassion motivates people to go out of their way to help physical or emotional hurts of another. Sympathy means including a feeling of harmony in action or effect.
