| Gravity curving the fabric of space |
Gravity is an ever-present force. It causes material interaction, which acts back on gravity. It governs the movement of objects and dictates the posture of living creatures, plants, and animals. Yet, we take gravity for granted, only becoming aware of it when we lose our balance or accelerate.
Gravity underlies material existence, and temporal gravity gives a stable foundation for our mental world and formulates temporal or emotional gravity. Because gravity is a pressure characteristic of massive objects, temporal gravity is both a supporting social net and the stress of expectations and restrictions (temporal pressure). Emotional gravity depends on the social environment. Immense temporal gravity is constricting. Temporal gravity triggers detail orientation and a negative attitude, making problems—even the easiest ones—difficult. For this reason, enormous individual differences in emotional gravity among animals and people exist. As density and mass determine material structures, emotional gravity gives rise to a hierarchic society. Nevertheless, constant change degrades the feeling of security and can even lead to madness.
Characteristics of high temporal gravity:
- A critical tendency, resistance to change
- Enthusiastic about starting projects but not having the patience to finish them
- The propensity for highly repetitious language
- Insecurity causes a need for control but creates a vulnerability to cheating
- Prone to emotional swings (personal attacks, violence followed by regret, and accommodation)
Emotional gravity depends on individual characteristics and even age. Young people's small emotional gravity lends flexibility and resiliency, allowing them to adapt well to changes, including fashion trends. Temporal gravity increases with age, muting the intensity of emotions, so the difference between joy and pain decreases. Deterministic brain frequencies form a detail-oriented and highly uncertain mental world requiring constant assurance. Because temporal gravity is stable in time, it provides the energy to hold on and maintain old habits, relationships, and belongings.
People with high emotional gravity often resort to criticism in an inherent search to test the environment's temporal limitation. Their insecurity and neediness prompt a quest to increase control, leading to abusive tendencies. Gaslighting is the intentional creation of insecurity by falsifying reality, named after a film with the same title.
Opposite to gravity, belief and trust are sources of emotional strength and prerequisite of intellect, permitting positive emotional states. Even suffering and pain have a meaning for them. Belief is inner confidence of trust, which gives courage and inspires selflessness and altruism. Even in difficult, adverse consequences, it permits adherence to moral principles. Belief is the stable intellectual ground on which to formulate a system of thought in the mind. This organizational reflection of the world and society is called a worldview. What is your worldview? Does it support your goals with trust and confidence, or does it undermine your future by filling you with hesitation and fear?
