That came from somewhere far, far away..

Hi there people,

Good morning. Well , i am amazed. I am totally AMAZED and quite INTRIGUED by what i wrote in the earlier post. You guys have to realise. I was typing it in a half daze sleep. I could actually put that much thought into my posts even while i am semi-sleeping.

That's the AMAZED part about it. I could still make clear sentences. I could still make comparisons and actually go into a pissed off mode.

The INTRIGUING part is what i actually wrote about. I guess it is seriously stuff that has been around in my heart but still i never really acknowledged it. It was stuff that i thought i had resolved and come to terms with. But suddenly looking at it now, i realise the truth. I am still disturbed by those issues.

Sometimes i begin to wonder how true is it about the separation of mind and heart in a person. I mean i thought it was just said to make it easier for people to understand that heart deals with feelings and mind deals with logical thinking. "But, why is it that when i see her there is a warm feeling in my heart?" this question arises.

I guess the heart was made by God to be one of the senses as well. We just haven't realised it yet. Some sort of organ to feel Love, or Affection, or even Hate. Just like the tongue has the sense of tasting sweets, sours, saltyness and spicyness. So, an organ can sense more than one stimuli. And that organ reacts to the stimuli and let's the individual know that particular stimuli exists in the external environment. This then leads the individual to react and accomodate that stimuli and use it, or reject it in a negative stimuli case.

This instant liking feeling towards someone or dislike usually just gives birth in our thoughts without any logical explanation. It is only AFTER the feeling is there, we justify it by saying "she's cute" or "he's smart". Very much like feeling nauseous after Seeing something spin. The feeling happens first, and only then we justify "It's got to do with the rotation rate. It's too fast".

I can actually expand this theory further. Organs are meant for us to 'detect' stimuli and by picking up on that we analyse and react, right?. What if the heart was actually meant to be an organ for us to detect the feelings of others? Analysing the feelings we picked up and reacting to that would have made us better people as we would always be able to say the right things and avoid conflict at the wrong times. Since we're already clued in to the state of the other person's feelings. Noble idea is it not? A lot of problems could have been solved before they even started right?

Unfortunately for one little fact. The bakground noise of our own feelings. We see ourselves first, we hear our heartbeats first, we touch our own skin first, we taste our own saliva, we smell our bodies first, AND if you want to talk about the 6th sense of thought in humans, still we think of ourselves first. So why wouldn't we detect our own feelings with our heart first? By establishing this and understanding the limits of our own feelings, we might be able to start realising the other feelings that out heart is picking up on.

This is what the real 'caring' people do i guess. Like mothers. They just totally understand their own feelings and leave it aside and clear their hearts to recieve and react to feelings of their children. This happens instinctively. Maybe we can train ourselves to actually do it at a whim. Rather than feeling angry, picking up on it with our own heart and continuing the echo of that feeling until it explodes and causes us to react in violent ways. We might be able to feel angry and actually shut it out of our heart to let it sizzle away.

Food for thought , ya!!~~ ;)
