The Dynamics of the Human Psyche

Sentience walks a delicate balance between reason and desire, pleasure and pain. However, reason is not necessarily rational nor is desire necessarily emotional. Rather, we assume this is the case from what society suggests to us as being the norm. It is only recently that medical research has begun to understand the biomechanics of what is really going on in our heads, and it is by no means as linearly ordered as we would like to think it is. The different mechanisms at play in the whole process are pretty much random fire like it is with anything else in existence. Why? Because a wider spread of variations has the greater chance of reaching its target. That's just the way it is with the law of dynamics. Change is stability, or, as we say in Germany: That which rests rusts. Say the same word a hundred times in one sitting and at some point it suddenly becomes meaningless. In the case of the human psyche, get too fixed on an idea, and at some point you simply lose the plot.

One must bear in mind that three factors determine evolution: heredity, environment and circumstance. Take a look at the haplogroup maps of the human genome and you can see how this process shaped what we are today. What amuses me is the foolish human want of the ideal, when nature actually abhors such absolutes, and that with the most remarkable ability to side with the hidden flaw. When we think in terms of the food chain, we often forget that our greatest nemesis can often be no bigger than a singular cell that can replicate itself a million fold within minutes. That's just the way it is with natural selection.

I hear some say that psychic ability is the work of the right hemisphere, while others suggest it's centered in the frontal lobe, or third eye, as they call it. Rather, I think it lies more in the balance of the whole system, especially it's characteristic identity and gestalt in that interaction, within itself and beyond.
