Advanced Tactical Hammering
Isolation is the root of all evil. Study after study correlate
isolation with violence, depression and self-destructiveness. MRI
images show that, in the face of isolation, the prefrontal cortex
fizzles like a burned-out light bulb. Our goal is to relight this
essential area of the brain by reinforcing thoughts that destroy
the illusion of isolation.
The exercises below use logic to reinforce a knowledge that you
are the same as other people. In this case the basis for the logic
will be The fact that other people also experience emotions like
anger, love and fear.
(1) Reinforce a memory of people's
human characteristics
First is a set of MEM formatted
Hammers. The purpose is to reinforce a bit of knowledge about the
people you know. You will reinforce them into one side of your
brain, then, re-do the steps the with the sides switched. Thereby
setting the thoughts in stone in both hemispheres.
In the CASE hand you will
briefly consider people that you know or know of. Do not go into
detail; merely 'bring up the subject' to yourself.
In the MEM hand you will
recall the simple yet undeniable truth: That all people feel love,
anger and fear at times. |
|
CASE: |
Think about the
people you know |
MEM: |
Recall that these people all
have emotions like anger, love and fear |
|
|
(2) Reinforce the viewpoint that having the
same characteristics makes you exactly the same
In the CASE hand you will
briefly consider people that you know or know of. Do not go into
detail; merely 'bring up the subject' to yourself.
In the VIEW hand you will see things from the perspective
that, since you and other people share these characteristics, you are
exactly the same. |
|
CASE: |
Think about the
people you know |
VIEW:
|
View things from the
perspective that you are exactly the same because you have
the same emotions |
|
|
(3) Reinforce logic stating that having the same
characteristics makes you exactly the same
In the CASE
hand you will briefly consider people that you know or know of.
Do not go into detail; merely 'bring up the subject' to yourself.
In the LOG hand you will mentally
create a logic string that since you both share these emotional
characteristics you are exactly the same. |
|
CASE: |
Think about the
people you know |
LOG: |
Realize that you
have the same emotions and therefor are exactly the same |
