THE FRONTOPOLAR CORTEX, DECISION MAKING AND SOVERIGNTY

The Transpersonal Self or Meta-Subjectivity

"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." Albert Einstein

I would add to Albert’s observation, that first we must see our limitations in order to move beyond them. We must see that we must treat ourselves sadomaschistically in order to submit ourselves as a slave to a sadomasochistic situation or system. Arcane hierarchal power abuse and the resulting cortisol damage to the brain and hormonal system essentially castrates the spiritual realization and evolution of humanity. Creativity – the very raison d'être for our existence is rendered pathetic and paralyzed by the loss of the biological foundations for higher consciousness. Synonyms for castrate include: neuter, geld, cut, desex, unsex, sterilize, fix, alter and doctor. To be anything less than a whole Human, is to be a corrupted version of our ultimate potential self. The sovereign path therefore is to find our way back to a sense of cosmic Self-completion that this errant culture cannot give us.

Trauma of course shatters the unified self, disassociating us from our senses, soul, society and the cosmos (God, Sophia). The PTSD phenomena is probably a combo of cortisol stripping of dendrites, changes to the Glutamate receptors (the main neurotransmitter) from overload, adrenal fatigue and epigenetic changes to the DNA etc... There is no doubt some demylienation and devastation of various brain regions, hyperactivation of the brain's alarm system (amygdala and such) and a learned helplessness/Stockholm effect that suppresses activation of the "self-sense" and the prefrontal lobes. In total, along with the loss of steroid hormones and neurotransmitters for personal "effectiveness," PTSD is the general operating mode of most people in contemporary Western civilization. The brain damaging effects create socioeconomic circumstances that tend to accumulate and amplify in clandestine ways generation after generation...until we have no knowledge of our madness, because it is ubiquitous in society. We infect each other with the dis-ease of the fallen ones daily.

Thanks to the emotional plague work of Wilhelm Reich we can see the direct correlation of the infantilization of a population under extreme power abuse and the underlying socioneurology of state fascism and genocide...and now global suicide. Awakening to freedom within a society of the unfree demands supreme objectivity, or transpersonal subjectivity, and to feel-see oneself within the context of the reality of the whole in both its ignore-ance and its potential...without reacting negatively to negativity. If we are continually focused on and bound to the thing we are trying to break free of, we can never gain lift off speed to be who we ARE, but instead remain a mere Rorschach's Blot of imprint and reactivity to  that which we resist. Instead by taking the proactive initiative, with intention, drive, and enthusiasm we can more easefully navigate energetically through our world and reality hack a world we actually want to live in by acting “as if” it were already here. Acting “as if” is the ultimate secret weapon of the culture making sovereign. Within the doom and gloom of such a retarded paradigm, how do we raise our energy and enthusiasm to act “as if?”

It is encouraging to observe that when the body is trained into creative and expressive movement within any environment...such as a monkey through the jungle trees...that socioemotionally we respond and elicit a more fluid, less robotic, and more awake response from the people around us. I notice that when I take the initiative and offer the required information before being asked for it, this breaks the burden of monotony for the "other" and they wake up a little as though gifted with energy. We might have to grow a network of awake peers like a garden. As a preceptor of consciousness we have to choose awakeness, aliveness and engagement, even when, or especially when, we are bored, disinterested and apathetic. Ultimately our ability to choose our own experience should result in meeting similarly engaged individuals, as sovereigns are drawn to each other through the aether and internet.

"I realize now what I had done "internally" to facilitate that [higher] response when standing before the Borg… you don’t engage them on their level." David Weiss

That is the sovereign doesn’t default into resonating down to The Given, but raises other up to sympathetic resonance with the higher. For this we need transpersonal objectivity, or “Theory of Mind.” The uniquely human trait of "Theory of Mind" is the understanding of the mind and the "mental world" which gives us a multiperspectival view of "beliefs," plus the ability to penetrate the maya of "appearances," and the capacity for cogent introspection. As a characteristic of Theory of Mind "metacognition" can be defined as the process that reinforces one’s subjective sense of being a self, thus we could called it "Meta-subjectivity," which ironically generates transpersonal objectivity. Metacognition brings many unique insights into the normal daily functioning of a human being, improving an individual’s ability to understand their own mental status compared to others, diminishing worry and anxiety by a sense of presence or cognitive awareness and self-control.

Meta-emotion is the disciplined awareness of one’s own emotions and the emotions of others. Like the contextual interrelationship of movements in music we observe that whenever we elicit a certain emotion, we also have to deal with subsequent cascade of emotions resulting from how we experienced the primary emotion, and also the blowback of other people’s emotions in response to ours. In a presovereign group dynamic of emotional repression and disapproval based on systemic untruth, we learn to invalidate and dissociate from our own emotional intelligence, in which case we abort the spiritual development of the Frontopolar Cortex, the executive director of our will-power and our capacity to be HUman. Creating as it were a deficiency in compassionate oversight and a totalitarian domination of all aspects of life. The inner brutal dictator produces habitual negative emotions, loss of self-worth and learned helpnessness.

The central pillar of sovereign philosophy is that the infantilism of the Borg is a psychosocial dis-ease caused by communal denial of emotional inter-subjectivity and loss of faith in our self-efficacy or ability to thrive in the world due to the neglected development of the spiritual executor...the Prefrontal Cortex.

One of the definitions of sapience is "metacognition" or the detached ability to consciously think about thinking, giving us the ability to plan, check, monitor, select, revise, evaluate, and LEARN! Metacognition is central to developing differentiation, individuation, reciprocity, empathy, interdependence, self-regulation and sovereignty. The principle area of the brain vital to the establishment of spiritual maturity or sovereignty is front-most part of the frontal lobe, "the Frontopolar Cortex." This Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that helps us predict future consequences from past experiences is more advanced in humans than other primates. Thinking about the future engages the frontopolar cortex which then activates the medial prefrontal cortex or "Dorsolateral Cortex" that is active in enforcing will-power. The Frontopolar Cortex is therefore vital for intention, vision, delayed gratification, prioritization, resisting temptation, and overcoming automacy, reactivity, compulsion and emotional dysrregulation.

Sovereignty is the opposite of abeyance in that the sovereign claims ownership, authorship and dominion over their own being and their own life. Compliance, apathy and allegiance to tyranny and dictatorship is a sure sign that the Central Intelligence Agency of the individual is not adequately switched on. Then just how do we turn on the light of our highest HUman functioning? By directing our brain, using the prefrontal loves as a helm. In meditation, we can laser our mind on an area of our brain or body to enliven, awaken, heal, integrate and evolve the form and function of that area. Thus by focusing on the area for future-sight in the brain we are able to grow the vision, and engage the will-power through which we may build a sovereign bodymind and establish a sovereign life. Directing the helm of our mind towards higher goals necessitates positive intent or precommitment.

Precommitment entails decisive power taken in the present in order to limit our options in the future, i.e. to intend or commit in advance to a particular course of action. Precommitment is a self-management strategy first discussed by Thomas Schelling as part of a system called Egonomics, or "the art of self-management." Egonomics is based on the idea that within each person exists two selves constantly at odds: the future (potential) self and the present (acquired) self. Both selves exist within us producing cognitive dissonance and ongoing conflict between immediate desire and long-term goals. The core of "precommitment suggests that when we have a conflict of will we can strengthen our position by limiting some of the options to make retreat or divergence impossible. By making a prior decision to commit we reduce the possibility of defaulting on a promise or commitment, such as in renegling on a contract at the last minute when presented by immediate distractions or temptations. Precommitment turns on our Central Intelligence Agency to manage our emotions, response and action to reduce the chaos and conflict between immediate desire and long-term goals.

Fluid intelligence, neuroplasticity and neurogenesis go hand in hand and are requisite qualifications of a fully HUman human. Fluid intelligence is the ability to make the best decisions in a changing and unpredictable environment under novel circumstances. The frontopolar cortex helps us to make short-term predictions about what will happen next, which is important to the practical application of goal setting, motivation and strategy - particularly in rapidly changing environments. Authentic learning or Self-efficacy requires fluid intelligence and understanding in multiple settings and to unique situations or problems. Self-efficacy functions as a primary motivational mechanism by which vision and orientation toward our goals influences subsequent learning and the will to exert greater effort toward task fulfillment. Without this inner gyro fueled by the dopamine reward system we are adrift at sea and vulnerable to the dictates of the environment. Self-confidence, self-control, self-efficacy and self-respect are a function of Prefrontal cortex development. We are literally pulled upwards through evolution by our intent!

We evolve from where we are to where we want to be via "metacognition," or "cognition about cognition," or "knowing about knowing." That is being aware of and having conscious control over our own cognition and monitoring our progress towards our goals. In the domain of neuroscience, executive power has been viewed as a function of the prefrontal cortex, which receives (monitors) sensory signals from other cortical regions and through feedback loops implements control. Metacognition refers to a level of thinking that necessitates active control over the thought process in learning situations, identifying strengths and weaknesses and adjusting their strategies to achieve favorable outcomes. Metacognitive capacities are used to regulate one's own cognition, to maximize the potential to think, learn, plan and evaluate moral values.

"Consensus is not only our sanity but delusionally reality "itself." It is little wonder that a questioning of group loyalties is felt as betrayal, one invoking wrath if not persecution. The violation of group boundaries by such questioning is experienced as a severing of emotional symbiotic links and rekindles the depression of which the group has been "cured" by assuring itself of continuity if not permanence, safety if not inviolability." ~Culture Change, Symbolic Object Loss, and Restitutional process, by Howard F. Stein, Ph.D. www.psych-culture.com/docs/stein_culture.html

By using the more forward thinking parts of the brain and metacognitive skills cultural change agents and cocreatives live with one foot the future and fancy themselves as pragmatists and objectivists. Metacognition demands the understanding of one's own capabilities, knowledge of conditions and the difficulty of a task, plus the understanding of effective strategy, and evaluating the progress towards the completion of a task. Thus maintaining the motivation to see a task through to completion requires the metacognitive skills of the Central Intelligence Agency to become aware of distracting stimuli – both internal and external – and sustain concentration and effort over time.

Metacognitive training can be explicitly taught to reduce cognitive delusion, reduce distorting bias, reframe memories, and help become mindful of such distortions in order to reduce impact of cognitive "noise." The brain must be in unity, harmony and sympathetic resonance for the integration necessary to powerfully laser consciousness. For flexibility, problem-solving, interpersonal relationships and course correction the prefrontal lobes must be "in charge" of the multiplicity of drives, urges, persuasions and impulses of all the layers of the nervous system right down to the peripheral nervous system. Neuropathy, numbness, insentience and dissociation from a species history of trauma and a death-loving culture produce an out of control human that is more beastial, irrational and impulsive than the cosmic potential design of Homo sapiens. That is, in a derelict, delinquent or declining civilization we are not rising up to our genetic potential as a species.

As a consequence of denial of reality and lack of beneficent executive development of the Uraeus, the Central Intelligence Agency of the higher HUman the present civilization is undergoing catastrophic hemorrhaging of its systems and strategies. The survival pressures within a derelict culture will bring about an amplified "us versus them" frenzy which will further breakdown civil and environmental law and order. Unless there is a rapid exit out of the technological dead end of the hydrocarbon/nuclear socioeconomy, systems collapse will make human life untenable and cause an inestimable eco-holocaust. The accelerating clusterfuck of catastrophe and the entropy and chaos of cultural senescence and obsolescent demise may interfere with the transition to the mystic implosion tech civilization if visionary progress is not undertaken in a speedy and communal manner. Everything humanity does to try and save themselves within the old corrupt Borg meme will only precipitate a faster decline. It is obvious therefore that what is needed is a revolution of the heart and mind and a reimagining of what it is to be human via the amplified consciousness of kundalini awakening.

The higher self, that is in resonance with the divine creator and the lifeforce or Eros is the sovereign or whole HUman. While the Borg is the broken human monad, separated from cosmos, nature, true community and their soul. Everything we do to assuage our suffering in our broken condition simply amplifies our demise. This is so because a creature in collapse, separated from divine direction and cosmic knowledge is ignorant of the inner direction or Muse by which they are informed of how to increase lifeforce, increase consciousness, increase love and increase cosmic connection. Until we liberate ourselves from the dying titanic of Borg civilization we will go down with the ship, no matter how much we mop the decks and polish the brass.

Kundalini awakening, like entheogenic drugs, allows us to cross the threshold of consciousness from the restrictive myopia of normalization to a more expansive awareness. However, if we do not have the skills to establish efficacious life-thriving relationships, livelihood, technology and lifestyle, then we are going to quickly revert to the humdrum of the status quo of the uninitiated society around us and submit to the inertial frame of reference and self-suppressing habits of our past.

Kundalini awakening is not premature, it is merely spirit trying to breakthrough the closure, repression and retardation of the individual and the human continuum. Kundalini IS spirit, it IS the universal creatrix of universe unfolding. Kundalini itself is not psychotic or traumatic, it is the affront of an individual awakening to consciousness, feeling and emotion in a society that represses and outlaws consciousness, feeling and emotion that shows itself as difficulty during awakening. Thus Kundalini awakening is not premature it is the non-initiated, mundane Borg human that is outdated, old-fashioned, démodéd, passé and behind the times, because the Borg is not in accord with contemporary reality and the demands of sentience.

You can never be mature enough to "handle" an awakening if you remain embedded in a society that strictly forbids awakening to sovereignty and the Real. The development of the "whole HUman" and the benevolent overseer enables the capacity to deal with shadow, evil, and negativity in ways that doesn't simply escalate the dysfunction. Through transformation and evolution of consciousness we can quickly rise above the gravity of the Borg and its endless symptoms of distress and disease. Note that there is generally a rise in sensation and apperception of symptoms at the beginning due to increased feeling, detoxification and unblocking. Under-adaptation, in reacting to a negative with negativity, increases entropy and chaos. We do everything to ourselves depending on our relationship in bringing the duality of polar reality into harmony.

The human species apperception of reality is grossly backward and underdeveloped, as is evidenced by the complexification of error and crisis in our systems and endeavors, ie: disharmony. The term apperception comes from the latin "toward" and to "perceive, secure, learn, gain or feel." It is the introspective power of the mind to perceive itself that forms a whole self as the sum of past and present consciousness. Without the contextual apperception of our lives within the species continuum we cannot see how culture has made us, and so we cannot free ourselves from it.  

We are robots controlled by the influences of the planets, the collective and The Given unless we directly and willfully take control of the helm of consciousness to propagate a magical idealism whereby the subjective universe of the individual is harnessed to create a unique inner world from which a true Self can be forged. The collective madness and the degradation of the human condition over time is a nightmare that cannot be "fixed" from within the nightmare itself. We emerge from the Montauk project of material imperialism and the influence of the memes of collective madness only by aligning with our cosmic Self and taking full responsibility for our thoughts, emotions and actions. The innocent and the true are always in peril in fairytales, but they win out over evil in the end through their own superior intellect and “good” will.

This is the most exciting time in history because we have no choice but to be a hero in our own lives and to drop the excess baggage that we have been coveting for so long. It is time to clear the playing field, choose our playmates and engage in the good fight towards honorable goals, in the hopes that higher HUman life is possible, if not for ourselves, then for generations to come. The irony is that it is hard to become sovereign all by oneself! Unless we work together to create The Made world now we will be forced to kowtow to false authority and ever increasing evil.

Transcendence of The Given world is only achieved when we have spiritually grown up enough to give ourselves the license to spontaneously and blissfully create The Made world. As we grow into our sovereignty we move beyond "Freedom From" to the more mature and exhilarating "Freedom To." The sovereign has a God given license to BE because they real-eyes it is so. Only we can grant ourselves permission to be who we truly are beyond reactivity and compensation to make our mark on the HUman stage during such opportunistic times as these.

The mystic civilization is built from the inside out as each individual rediscovers the causal nature of their being and drops the wounded imposter that struggles to merely survive in a world not of their making. Letting go of who we were allows us to re-imagine what we might be. The beauty of sovereignty as a life philosophy is that the buck always stops with us…and this is our ticket to freedom! So it is always an inside job, even if the whole world is going to pot around us. Become a destiny creator and quickly we realize that manifesting reality is an inside job. Our job as a sovereign is to assist in pulling back the mists of time so that all may see more clearly the dawning of the rising sun.

Everyone knows war is hell on earth. Why would anyone create hell on earth? The absence of unity consciousness creates war. It generates discordian vibrations within, and discord without. The separate-self-sense is at war with itself and everything else. Unity consciousness and the nectar of the heart is such a sufficient drug that generates such bliss that other means of generating sufficiency are insufficient...and so they drop away. Our trans-conditioned Self is our deep sovereign Self, supreme objectivity, or transpersonal subjectivity. That pure, divine consciousness within is the unified field.

Self-response-ability or showing up boils down to self-respect in a world that would steal it from you. Thus we give up engaging the Borg on their level and save ourselves the energy wasted in ego-defense through the grace and peace derived from immersion in the whole HUman. Wholebrain integration includes Delta and Theta wave...that is the deep sleep and gnostic frequencies in the waking consciousness. Through wholebrain frequencies and cosmic connection we transport ourselves from the down and dirty machinations of the Borg to the dimension of eternity from which universes emerge, deeply present in the very here and now. Self inclusiveness and self acceptance = whole Humanness. "We are the Future" implies both inclusiveness and the responsibility to act...in that what we put into our lives is what we get out. Extremes of being a doormat, a messiah or a sponge are antithetical to a world that fosters sovereign fulfillment in each individual.

The Russian Scientist Dr N.A. Kozyrev (1908-1983) discovered that human thought and feeling generates torsion waves in space-time. Torsion is a force of twisting movement through the fabric of space-time. Kozyrev measured physical effects caused by the vibratory effect of consciousness within the aether. As above so below points to the sovereign initiate's ability to intend and to download Divine power from the aether to the physical dimension. Cohering to the vacuum so to speak, means an absence of conflict, interference pattern or incoherence between the spiritual and material, the sacred and the mundane. Hence the unitive experience is a melting into being through heart’s expansion warping spacetime through which we tap into the Halls of Amenti or the Akashic Records (from akasha, the Sanskrit word for 'sky' 'space' or 'aether'). Omniscience and omnipotence.

Our ability to perceive the Mind of God, or the omniscient consciousness of the universe, via Unity Consciousness can be developed through self-directed neuroplasticity to gain more access to our higher self in our daily life. Once on the path of materializing Divine power there is no limit to how advanced or "spiritual" we can become in our lifetime for gains are accumulative. This means that if we can get enough people around the world accessing their divinity the descended and broken world of the Borg could be transformed into Heaven on Earth within an instant, as the wave of enlightenment spread across the planet. The means of producing this sustained wave of enlightenment include art, beauty, sanity, openness, bliss, joy and enthusiasm…for the energy needed to “build” comes from unconditional hope found through the discriminating attention of the integral, whole HUman. The Borg is doomed, but it is time for the whole, sovereign HUman to bloom.

In Tibet Shambhala, which in Sanskrit means “place of peace, of tranquillity,” is thought of as a community where perfect and semi-perfect beings live and are guiding the evolution of humanity. Shambhala is considered to be the source of the Kalachakra, which is the highest and most esoteric branch of Tibetan mysticism. Shambhala lies on the very edge of physical reality, as a bridge connecting this world to one beyond it. Shambhala’s importance is as a symbol for the coming age of peace and enlightenment. All spiritual, scientific and creative disciplines that advance true culture and international peace, use the power of art and beauty to accomplish heaven on earth.

“Shambhala itself is the Holy Place, where the earthly world links with the highest states of consciousness. In the East they know that there exists two Shambhalas – an earthly and an invisible hidden kingdom, an inner mystical journey.” ~ Nicholas Roerich, The Heart of Asia

The fixity of 3D density and Flatland materialism can only be overcome by revitalizing the human organism and tuning it back into cosmic frequencies. While embedded in the Matrix of control and cultural collapse, individuals are addicted to false stimulation, anti life sustenance, and insurance rather than the assurance of doing the right thing. The masses through their inaction and dependency are sacrificing themselves to the earth-eating machine. The successive perversion of the cosmic HUman has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years. The human species presently is the most complex example of nature’s technology in our sector of the universe. Therefore the only food fit to build and maintain this complexity is derived fresh, raw and unadulterated from the highest nature has to offer. Anything that comes in a package reduces complexity, vitality and intelligence and plunges us towards death. The step back onto the path of universal truth can take an instant, like the flip of a switch. It is a realignment with the subtle calling of the Lifeforce!...the beneficent guardian of life in the universe

"Within each of us, there is a silence. A silence as vast as the universe. And when we experience that silence, we remember who we are." ~ Gunilla Norris

THE WAVE DREAM 11/23/13
I was finishing off this blog piece on metacognition...which is the essential skill to realizing our sovereignty. I had been wanting a large disaster dream for a year or so. This morning I was in a village doing inane stuff...inventing a coffee machine that you could use as a scooter. I had a hotel room, but had lost my key so I went into the lobby and looked out the window...there was a 1000ft or higher wave coming towards us from the East. Of course I started running through the town away from the oncoming wave with the rest of the folks who were slowly becoming conscious of the immanent doom. At first I felt fear, but then I realized my inevitable death and I was no longer afraid. I merely watched the surrounding human drama, and observed their fear and survival attempts from a higher advantage point. There was a sense that "I" was not going to waste my final moments on earth fearing my death. At which point I felt peace! The wave mechanics of fear are short and spiky, like those of an earthquake. The fear and loathing frequencies are void of "depth, context, range, layering, coherence, embedding and multiplicity." This dis-conjunction of brainwaves locks us into a lower order reality in which the soul and the sacred is absent. With the sympathetic resonance of brainwave conjunction however, even our last moments on earth can be our most sublime.

The wave dream is an example of metacognition...or the ability to center ourselves within "context," rather than within the "content" of our lives. Thus the highest form of self experiencable is that in which there is no gender, no race, no country, no species and no planetary identification...just pure awareness. There are probably infinite levels of higher vantage point from which to observe. Crisis, birth and death tend to pop us into a state of higher witnessing, like a hierarchy of dreamers of the dream. This makes me think that the Saint and Shamanic consciousness is one that accesses DMT either in a trance state or in waking or sleeping consciousness. Our highest spiritual consciousness levels tend to be while we are sleeping because our daily waking brain’s repressive mechanisms prevent to access the DMT chemical cascade. We are thus most awake while we are asleep!

"The game as I conceive it," Knecht once wrote, "leaves (the player) with the feeling that he has extracted from the universe of accident and confusion a totally symmetrical and harmonious cosmos, and absorbed it into himself." Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game
