3 degrees of overall enlightenment

[hoola]

in this idea, the physiologic structure of the human brain has 3 components, Reptilian, Mammalian and Human. Prior to the development of the human, the mammalian/reptilian co-processors were in charge. Prior to that, just the reptilian. This heirarchy of control has a built-in conflicts caused by jealousies between domains of who has active control of the human organism, of these 3 structures. This internal psychological competition is amplified by a physiologic need for each domain having to share a common nutrient supply. When we were 2 brained mammals, the brain/body size was smaller, allowing the body an easier job to supply the brain. There seems other interesting problems with the modern human. The awareness lies mostly in the intellectual human and is less related to the emotional mammalian, and even less aligned with the primitive reptilian. To have the intellect construct an intelligent plan of optimum behavior (enlightenment), says little about the other 2 structures ability to cooperate, if and when needed to do so. There is also an analogy to the 3 (orbiting) body problem here. The awareness shifts to varying degrees among these three domains, as external environmental and internal physiologic needs require. The human animal is somewhat unstable as a result of this, as in a typical 2 brain mammal, the emotion is dominate and the reptile is subordinate in active overall descision making, and the introduction of a third giving the issue of unpredictability. To make the subject of enlightenment even more difficult to achieve, the intellect can only go so far in the path to complete enlightenment without the cooperation from the other two, which in most humans, seem barely to be on "speaking terms". So, it is the job of the intellect to educate the emotion, and the emotional system's job to enlicit the cooperation of the reptile. Overall system enlightenment is achieved through a synthesis of cooperative communications among the 3 participants. Success is limited to the degree of the intellect's overall plan towards the goal, the cooperations offered by the other two participants, which itself is limited by the degree of their functional ability to understand and accept the task , while still carrying on the traditional ancestral duties evolution assigned them.
