operating at the highest level

The highest level can be accessed through the recognition that the default state is the emotional layer. We see, feel, and perceive everything through the lens of this emotional layer. We have relationships with every object and every situation we have experienced in the past that is encoded in the emotional layer

A relationship equates to emotional attachment to a state we either desire or do not desire. We want X, but C is happening. The distance between state X and state B, for example, defines our emotional perception—our absolute level of pain or pleasure.

Life IS HAPPENING AS WE WANT IT vs LIFE IS NOT HAPPENING AS WE WANT IT.

This emotional layer has clear objectives:

• Seek pleasure
• Avoid pain and maintain survival

Realizing it’s our default is the first step. Recognising that objectives should be redefined requires functioning at a different layer, which ultimately means accessing consciousness layer with clearly defined objectives.
