《The mistake of chasing after the manifesting events》

  • Obstacle II

It’s not that the simple things are hidden. It’s that our attention is drawn to things above the surface we assume make the biggest difference.

For example when our body react to danger with “stress response” , the blood vessels that direct blood to the large muscles and the heart expand to prepare the sudden demand of blood supply , thereby increasing the amount of blood pumped to these parts of the body and elevating blood pressure. In an emergency situation, this ensures a rapid supply of energy to the muscles. This is well known as the fight or flight response.

There are the symptoms of stress response lighting up like fireworks above the surface. There are also stress response from the inner mechanism hidden below the surface.

We pay more attention to the surface events such as increasing heart rate and blood pressure , less about how breathing quickens, muscles tighten still go on after stress stimuli are gone. We develop the habits of making efforts to suppress the events A & B without dealing with inner mechanism C. At the same time we develop the mindset to assume by changing event A & B will somehow make a big difference. 

So instead of the important step to bring the inner C back to normal balance after the stress situation resolves, Almost in a deliberate and intentional way we invest in so much work to identify the linear correlation between event A and B and consciously chose to ignore inner C. 

This start to explain why we put in so little work in our relationship with inner C. 
As we sweep "inner C" under the rug,
the unconscious mind, the complex of mental activities within an individual that proceed without his awareness,   
 needs "to hide something damaging or unpleasant and try to keep it secret". 
This is how we can pretend everything is back to normal, life goes on.
 
It;s just a matter of time for the impacts of these cycles of stress response to leave marks on inner C,  chronic effects such as persisting insomnia, pains, fatigue, excessive body fat and over-weight.

  《 Wisdom for breakthrough comes from Systems Thinking 》 If we can find a way of making sense of the complexity of our body by looking at it in terms of wholes and relationships rather than by splitting it down into its parts. We should be able to use this way of exploring and developing effective action in complex contexts to discover the so called “leverage points”! What is systems thinking? Systems thinking is a way of exploring and developing effective action by looking at connected wholes rather than separate parts. Systems thinking is a powerful approach to support evidence based decision making and is essential to successful delivery of complex projects where there are many many possible solutions. Within systems thinking there are the following key concepts to guide us to new understanding of our body: Elements – Parts, wholes and layers. All systems are similar. For example they have an environment, sub-systems and interactions. Understanding of bas...

  《  Oversight  of not seeing the big picture  costs us big time   》 Obstacle I Though The ways we look at our body are so diversified yet most of us tend to think of our brain as center of spiritual activities and we have gone a long way to decode the neurological patterns of emotions within. Most of us think of physical body is relatively materialistic existence composed of mechanical parts of tissues and organs. For example years of anatomy has shown us the muscles are merely the source of physical force of mechanical contraction and extension. Not only we non-experts has little attention to the messages hidden in the form of the tissues. The focus of modern physical therapy and body training is the mechanical aspect of how set of muscles working together, mainly in the reciprocal inhibition relationship and tension integrity ( even the combo of tension + integrity word  "tensegrity" structure becomes a very popular term in modern revised an...
