Understanding a lightbulb

If you want to understand a lightbulb it is not enough to just look at the lightbulb, measure and theorise about the illumination.

You have to notice the person flipping the witch and follow the cable to the power source as well to get a bassic understand of what is going on.

At “The school of self-healing” it was suggested that I focus on noticing where my feelings are produced in any given thought or reaction. This advice was given when I was asking about how to find out where to place a treatment-object to unlock the feeling that cause the thought or reaction that I wanted to let go of (you can read more about it in my article “Therapy with things”).

So, I set out to do exactly that.

Rewind and play back in slow-motion

My first really strong experience with noticing my feelings origin and affect though the body, was at a traffic light in about 2015.

I was on my bike and waiting for the green light.

A woman joined me, and I felt the urge to get her attention by saying something. I do not remember what it was though.

Before any words had passed my lips, I realised that I was not interested in her at all.

So, why would I want her attention?

I decided to try and relive the situation to understand the process within me.

I discovered that I could rewind the process and in slow-motion I could sense how a feeling started in my abdomen moved up though my body, I noticed how I was asking for confirmation and at the end the thought was produced and ended on the tip of my tongue.

If you are still thinking about the lightbulb

The lightbulb is the brain.

The one flipping the switch is our beliefs and ideas (conscious or subconscious).

The electricity is our emotions.

The wire is all the connection in the body.
