FROM THEORIES OF MOTIVATION TO ‘VOLITIVE EQUILIBRIUM©’

The mind is the brain at work.

The mind is the result of the activity of the brain. The idea that the mind is a result of the activity of the brain is supported by the term "Mind is the brain in action," which may be found in many popular phrases. It gives the impression that our minds, including our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and consciousness, are the product of complex brain operations.

In contemporary scientific discourse, the mind is commonly referred to as an emergent property that results from the interactions of the neural networks in the brain. The billions of neurons that make up the brain are able to construct complex networks through the use of electrical and chemical impulses to communicate with one another. These networks are what give rise to cognitive capabilities and individual experiences.

However, it is essential to emphasize that the relationship between the mind and the brain is still a topic of ongoing study as well as a philosophical debate. The hypothesis that the mind emerges from the activity of the brain has been supported by a large number of scientific investigations; nevertheless, the precise mechanisms and characteristics of the link between the two are not yet known.

In conclusion, although "Mind is the brain in action" is a perspective that represents the current state of scientific understanding, it is essential to acknowledge that mind-brain interaction is a complicated and multifaceted topic with different points of view.

FROM THEORIES OF MOTIVATION TO ‘VOLITIVE EQUILIBRIUM©’

I bring up the applicability of neuroscience in the context of our discussion for a very specific purpose.
In order for leaders to be successful in their efforts to motivate, lead, inspire, and envision, they need to make a connection between the leadership processes they adopt and the activities they perform, and the fundamental operating mechanisms of the central nervous system (CNS). In the previous post, we discussed the electrochemical processes that occur in both our bodies and our brains. In this article, I would want to talk about a phenomenon that is known as Resting Membrane Potential for a little while.
RMP is an abbreviation for "resting membrane potential," which refers to the difference in electrical potential that can be seen on either side of the cell membrane in a cell that is not activated or is in a resting state.

The RMP is produced when charged ions are separated from one another across the cell membrane. Ions with a negative charge are found in higher concentrations inside the cell, whereas ions with a positive charge are found in higher concentrations outside the cell. Because these charged ions are separated, there is an electrical imbalance across the cell membrane. This imbalance results in a negative charge on the inside of the cell and a positive charge on the exterior of the cell.
The electrical gradient that is present across the cell membrane is kept in place by the activity of ion channels and ion pumps. The RMP is required for various different cellular processes, one of which is the transmission of nerve impulses. Excitable cells such as neurons are unable to generate and propagate electrical impulses without first undergoing changes in the resting membrane potential (RMP), such as depolarization (a drop in the membrane potential) or hyperpolarization (an increase in the membrane potential).
Every kind of existence in the cosmos requires a certain degree of alignment and equilibrium in order to function effectively.

DYNAMICS OF INTERFACE (contd...)
EMOTIONAL TRIANGLE

We have seen earlier that in the process of growth, residual feelings get percolated into the sub-conscious mind. They remain there as if they are stains and restrict the flow of positive emotions. Three primary emotions are anger, guilt and shame.
Anger

The context of anger is as follows
You have done something wrong to me
And I have not forgiven you.
Anger is a misunderstood feeling. Anger comes from somewhere around a disappointment. Consulting our basic urge of self –preservation, it is positive feeling. Fear and suspicion emanate from the understanding of a duality. Look at a child from a slum on the side of busy road. This child does not understand the difference between a safe and unsafe place. Hence, it plays on the road. Whereas, a child from a well =to-do family will be scared to play on the road because it understands the duality between safe and unsafe conditions. As we have seen before, every interface intends to align positive intentions of different people, very often, we fail to understand others intentions. This is the origin of development. Now if two people concerned are in duality of each other; s purposes, they are likely to experience anger. This is how feeling of anger originates. To safeguard from the ill feelings, we avoid and neglect others.

The urges of ’battling’ also contribute to anger. Anger in itself is one of the most beautiful feelings that can happen to us. What is important in anger is to forgive the object of the anger as much for the sake of the object of anger, as for the sake of oneself. Unexpressed or unforgiving anger gores into the subconscious mind.

Guilt

I have hurt somebody
And I have not sought forgiveness.

We have many fears about our own mistakes in the past. They originate from the standards that are created by our parents and other adults in our childhood:

• “If you commit sin, God will punish you.”
• If you commit a mistake it will result in some loss or sickness.”
• “Everybody has to pay the price for his wrong doings.”
When we commit a mistake, these messages start playing on our mind and a feeling of fear and anxiety is produced inside. Nagging guilt itself is considered by some people as atonement for their sins. We all have urgency from within to close account of our actions.

Guilt works as an energy sapper and people engage in negative self-talks. The guilty live a worried life thinking about failures. No positive methods of regaining peace are taught during our formative period. Neither do people see in their childhood such humility from elders who seek forgiveness from others. We learn to atone for the guilt feelings through external manifestations like rituals. However, this does not remove the guilt feelings from the subconscious mind and they keep gnawing at our happiness thereby backtracking the alignment process.

Shame
Shame is defined as follows
I have not come up to my own expectations
And I have not forgiven myself

From early childhood we have a tendency of setting standards for ourselves. We set standards in terms of physical conditions, colour and complexion, height, weight, emotional maturity. Personal achievements, accumulation of wealth or other external conditions. Any deviation from these standards creates a state of conflict within and the accumulated feeling is called shame. Unattended shame goes into the subconscious mind and gnaws at the self-worth of a person, hampering the alignment process.
Accumulated and unattended anger, guilt and shame impede the flow of energy thereby reducing physical and mental strength. As a result, people look for support and strength outside. Some people may look for it in less harmful substitutes like books, pet theories, management prescripts, friends, etc. and others seek not negative sources of strength like drugs, egoism, superiority complex, alcohol and accumulation of possessions – things or people.
