Our inner body generates things like happiness and pain due
to how it is hard wired. It is one of the things that makes humans human.
Imagine a very sensitive person.
You call them an ass-hat.
Oh you hurt my feelings so much.
But if they were not sensitive like that,
it would be ignorable nonsense.
The process of getting hurt is internal.
If you could control your system,
you could greatly decrease your pain.
Wouldn't 'how you control your system' be hardwired? and/or dependent on what parenting, for example, you experienced? The Rumanian orphan never held and missing nutrients getting hardwired problems controlling their system, the controlling the system being a part of the system? Our neuroplastic brains having been affected on many levels from what is outside us, also.Dan~ wrote:Happiness and pain come from within.

Very true. Let me give You a bit from personal experience. I was extremely angry at a very mean and deceitful person that recently did grave damage to me and my family. I will not spell it out, the details are so shocking that they are beyond belief.
At any rate, I switched something off in my mind, and am convinced now more then ever, that somehow, I was able to overcome the horrible hate and sense of vengeance that kept me up at night.
I think it was a grace sent from beyond, not in the sense of a self induced state, but the ability not merely to let go of the negative feelings singularly, but a way like some thing or some ONE helping me from out of myself.
Then, a lightness surrounded my thinking, and thus formed an ability to forgive.
I hope it's lasting.

Out of or beyond the head/mind?
There are certainly people who do this. There are people who do the opposite. There are people who are very complicated mixtures blaming/thanking others/the world and blaming taking pride in themselves.Dan~ wrote:It seems that a man will blame the outside world for his problems.
but he blames himself for his success.
Or the opposite in serving guilt or shame or self-hatred.What ever idea is more convenient to serve the ego.

Sitting in blame rather than trying to solve the problem......anyway. That's terrible. But noticing and responding to what is being done to one, both positively and negatively, is simply mammalian realism.

Sadness also comes from within.
You supply a good example.
Mammalian realism?
Most people defend themselves by claiming that they serve the truth / real situations.
Realism is a funny word.
Reallytruthyism should be a word, too.
In the world of ideas, truth is power.
In the world of action, power is truth.

But how about those that seem impracticle but useful, such as living in an autonomous , spontaneous reality?
Could that be considered an inversion?

Some things are developed almost entirely inside the human mind.
Those things are definitely think before you act type things.
Impracticle but useful things, those are of-course worthy of consideration.
