An excursion into phenomenology is always a priori warranted. But increasingly, in a scientific era, phenomenology itself is the study of the brain, neurology. We know so much that we don't know we know that perhaps the commentary was NOT random. On some level, I knew EXACTLY where I was cutting in...
So indeterminacy aside,
I think one of the most significant things about studies of Brain Science is how easily reproducible "Fear" is in the brain. You simply shock a rat every time it takes a bite of rat food, and it induces "Fear" in the rat.
So if fear is easily reproducible, what does that make us? Evolutionarily maladapted survivors of a "kill or be killed" world? Are we ancestors of people whose "Fear" reaction was most adept, most encompassing? Is there really nothing to "fear" but "Fear-in-itself"?
I'd say that fear is what is known as a "basic" emotion,
as in it is virtually hardwired in our innate capacities for consciousness, transcendental or not. Anger is a basic emotion as well,
so why is it that our "negative" emotions are generally basic to evolution?
B/C for millenia,
Life was a death defying struggle for survival...
No TP.
No electricity.
No TV or Smart Phones.
No Internet.
No shaving razors.
Life was basic in-and-of-itself,
so henceforth our evolutionarily derived instincts seek in kind.
So phenomenology is about looking at one's own mind, or "Spirit" even, with a comprehension of modern discoveries in Neurology. With this in mind,
I'd say, today, we know a lot more about what makes a brain healthy.
The neurotransmitters being properly wired! I mean, if you wire your neural pathways to keep The Bible in mind, you'll be a far better Christian than many. Biblical prayer, daily prayer itself, is a powerful tool for self-rewiring of one's neurotransmitters in one's brain.
So repent,
B/C it's literally the only way to rewire the years of trauma to your cerebral cortex!
