Passion, Porn & Folk Tales

Passion is a key to knowledge. Passion can change the perceived value of your life. Passion drives us to excellence and stronger efforts. Passion makes us get up off our dead asses. Passion convinces us to do something. It is the way of God.

Another word for passion is emotion. Learn to use your emotions, don’t let your emotions use you. Use your emotions to “pre-learn” to deal with situations. This way, you have trained your unconscious to be ready. Ready to feel and do what you consciously decided for ahead of time. You will feel and do as you want when that situation arrives.

An example of this is preparing for an activity by thinking about it. Tests have proven that “visualizing” has a strong measurable influence on your actual performance. Mentally picturing yourself performing has a measurable influence on your actual performance. Similarly you might use video tape of an activity and watch it one hundred times. This is simply pre-conditioning yourself for yourself.

Extend this thought. Pre-conditioning is pre-conditioning. T he difference is in your choices of what you pre-condition yourself to think and do. Your unconscious brain lacks the ability to distinguish between a “real” video tape and a “fake reality” video tape. Real, mutually inspired, sex between willing, loving partners is the goal. This is not what you see in “porn” flicks. You can use porn videos to pre-condition yourself to unrealistic expectations. These expectations are unfair to you and your partner. I am willing to assume not all porn is of poor quality. However, be selective if you and your partner choose to use it.

The same is true for any genre of film. Modern life, drama, racial hatred, and “adventure” films contain violence. Unnecessary violence, especially to others, conditions you. This includes science fiction, and even “car chase” flicks. There are good films to watch, and discuss with your children. Carefully choose for quality. Carefully choose what you want to train your brain to think and do. The first time you watch a film is for the purpose of selection. The second is for pre-conditioning your brain.

You can train your unconscious mind by reading. reading about ideas, subjects, and concepts. Read widely, both serious material and works of fiction. Thomas Jefferson strongly recommended the use of fiction. Use it as a way of learning to deal with emotions and situations. Fiction allows you create in your unconscious an emotional state or decision about a subject or question. You prepare yourself for the time when you confront a similar situation personally in real life. Simple examples might be pre-training yourself to emotionally prepare for working with individuals whom are handicapped. Or, more difficult, how to deal with racial hatred. Or, the ugly duckling.

In fact, isn’t this the driving force in much of children’s literature? Especially the good stories that adults enjoy, too? Else, ask, why are fairy and folk tales so instructive? Like Aesop’s Fables? Add, here too, songs, and ballads that tell a story and carry a message. From interracial love to economic slavery in company towns. All of these subjects share the common thread of allowing us the vicarious experience. This experience of emotionally confronting an issue while in the safe confines of literature prepares us. It gives us the opportunity to pre-prepare. Pre-prepare an emotional response to that issue in our unconscious mind. We will be able to respond instantly in a way which we desire. We will respond correctly when personally confronted with decision time.

Why else the success of TV programs such as sitcoms, reality TV, and crime and court dramas? Aren’t these, as well as, great movies and stage plays all examples of the same thing? Ways to expand our lives? Also ways to pre learn how to behave?

Feed the ninety percent of your brain before hand, so you will know how to act according to your real desires. This is a really good reason why parents and children should talk about the TV shows and movies they watch together.
