Circuit Two
II. THE EMOTIONAL CIRCUIT.
This second, more advanced bio-computer formed when vertebrates
appeared and began to compete for territory (perhaps 500,000,000 B.C.). In the individual,
this bigger tunnel-reality is activated when the DNA master-tape triggers the
metamorphosis from crawling to walking. As every parent knows, the toddler is no longer a
passive (bio-survival) infant but a mammalian politician, full of physical (and psychic)
territorial demands, quick to meddle in family business and decision-making. Again the
first imprint on this circuit remains constant for life (unless brainwashed) and
identifies the stimuli which will automatically trigger dominant, aggressive behavior or
submissive, cooperative behavior. When we say that a person is behaving emotionally,
egotistically or "like a two-year-old," we mean that s/he is blindly following
one of the tunnel-realities imprinted on this circuit.
Associated consequences to be taken into account include:
A Neuro-muscular politic, defining
the basic genetic dimensions of the freedom-control of mammalian muscular movement in
territory.
The Emoton-locomotion terrestrial-mammalian Stage
- mediating the reception, integration and transmission of
neuro-muscular signals concerned with body-mobility, territorial contraol, and the
avoidance of helplessness. Fight/Flight.
The Territorial Freedom to maintain one's living space and to move freely; the Constraint of
intrusion on the living space of another or the control of the mobility of others.
Revolution-revealation Political
Revolution (musculotonic power)
Social grouping Political-Territorial
groupings
Level of Truth Emotion-Locomotion
truth: the neural signals mediated by the Second Musculotonic Circuit which define
territorial status - dominance-helplessness. (eg: "My emotion")
Reality Class The Second
Reality, Locolotor-muscular, is the imprinted-conditioned world of the crawling, brawling,
walking child perpetuated in the emotional-political techniques of the adult.
Individual/species evolution A
Political theory explaining the factors involved in the destructive and harmonious
expressions of territorial autonomy, control, freedom, restraint, mobility.
