Emotions and mind

Emotions and mind are twin siblings that make up for each other. Mind is the older sibling that is supposed to help regulate the emotion. However, when the mind is handicapped or immature, the emotion will run free. Disordered appetite is a sign of immaturity. When a child is individualizing, he is trying to regulate his disordered appetite. In animals, emotion has direct link to behavior. In human, emotion/mental creates human behavior/organized/coordinated behaviors. Social regulation regulates human behaviors.

Human also has the ability to develop not only his individual self but his group self, to benefit from cooperation with others. Development of his group self is part of his individuation process. The ability to regulate his environment as part of his individual self. This is the second stage of individuation/development process. In the process, we are developing INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR, THOUGHT, AND FEELING as particular group members. This is called CULTURAL identity. A consequence of developing cultural identity is to sacrifice individual identity. So, a child will sacrifice/neglect/deny his individual thoughts, feeling, and behavior for cultural/social thoughts, feeling, and behavior.

We are bundle of emotions or we are bundle of senses. Our emotion/ internal senses are our ID, our bodily self. Our external senses are our social source. Our mind function to negotiate between social and biological self, our superego and ID. Our ID, ego, and superego is like our body, mind, and social self. Our ID, ego, and superego is our artificial bio/emotion/social. However due to its superficiality, our mind is distorted and OVER imagination and permanence that lead to emotional overreaction. Our mind also functions to assume or hypotheses and predict to simulate or rehearse real environment.

We have LIFE INSTINCT before environment. This life instinct fear death instinct. Environment is only a factor to meet our needs, physical, safety, and social. Before we were born, we live in perfect connected environment, before we get CUT OFF. We then begin process of individuation to go back to perfect environment. We begin with PERFECT DEPENDENT environment to be PERFECT INDEPENDENT environment.

Crisis and trauma are parts of the process of individuation trying to develop individual and cultural self. Learning skills are individuation process to competence or PERFECT INDEPENDENT.

Our mind is internalization of our environment from INTERPSYCHOLOGICAL to INTRAPSYCHOLOGICAL. Interpsychological is called PERCEPTION. Intrapsychological is called mind/consciousness. Higher function/mind originate from actual environmental interaction.
