Our Daily Life

“ WHO WE TRULY ARE ? ”

Spirituality

Rationality / Mind / Psychic

Physical Body
We live in an era of fast-paced today. It was 24 hours a day is not enough for us:
About 12 hours of practical use to business or career (including time to commute).
Sleep or rest may be just around 6 hours a day.
The other is family time, time to eat & drink, bathe, exercise, socialization, and so on, with a total
of about 4 hours.
The rest is about 2 hours, but already at the level of stamina are relatively sluggish (low battery).

That's a quick overview of our daily life in the era or the material world today, is not it?
Then the question is, is it wrong or problematic? Or is it me that far-fetched if such things are considered
problematic? Because even now my daily life too. So what's the problem if it exists?
Look, this type of problem that is not visible on the surface, but rather in its essence, namely in the areas
of our spirituality. So we will try to discuss, that in turn what has actually happened to rationality (mind or
soul or psychological) and our physical body as a result.

Now, in order to discuss it in greater proportion, then we will see the first glimpse of the spirituality of
our selfhood, and about what exactly is meant by the term rationality, then a glimpse of the
physical understanding of the brain and body, and lastly it is about our daily and its own
malfunctions.

The Spirituality Of Our Selfhood

Possibly, this is a question who represents this
section, "who we truly are?".
Answers like what actually prompted by such
questions? That is who we are what is meant here?
Ourselves as found on the resident identity card?
Ourselves to the physical or psychological?
Associated ourselves with the stars, zodiac,
hobbies, habits, our character?
I understand it as our spiritual self.
Then, the next question is our spiritual self that is
where or how?
There is an opinion that is meant is our destiny.
Meanwhile, there are also opinions that say that it is
about our hearts. And probably, there are other
opinions. So, what about our own opinions?
I agree with the notion that it is about our hearts.
However, more specifically, or more precisely, my
understanding says that it is about the life choices
that we choose through our free will, who lives in
our hearts. Which this (life choices that we choose)
is believed will determine our eternal life later. That
is the intent of the question, "who we truly are?"
according to my understanding.
So, in other words, the question will be, "what kind
of life choices (in a spiritual sense), which we select
through our free will to run while we are in this
world?".
Then, what the contents of this room? It is a choice
of living (in a spiritual sense) that we select through
our free will.
So, what is meant by a spiritual life choices?
That is a compass or a goal that we set for the
voyage of the ship of our lives.
Then, how about an explanation of this choice? I
mean, how many model choices which allowed for
us to vote?
In essence, I repeat, in the sense of essence, which
is available only one set of options that consist of
two choices, but in fact have the opposite value
(although a pair), which is called duality (the law of
duality).
This duality has a very broad understanding when
associated with this life, including day and night,
right-left, right and wrong, good-bad, positive-
negative, male-female, top-down, front and back,
and so forth. It is actually not a new thing, just
maybe, we do not realize it so far. And, the world
may know about this law explicitly from Taoism,
known as "yin-yang".
Well, related to our discussion, then the duality that
we raise here is about our choices for things that
are rational (positive or good) or irrational (negative
or bad). Which means that actually more adorn our
daily life, if these things are rational or irrational?

Here is the explanation. The term heart here is only
a metaphor or symbol. Like the phrase, "where your
treasure is, there your heart will be also likely." Or,
"we live for the sake of money, or money to live?".
So actually, the heart is meant here is a room.
And one thing to always remember, that our
spiritual self is the supreme command center of our
selfhood system, so should we have to always be
aware of our life choices, because there are
consequences that follow later.
 Rationality

Left & Right Hemisphere

Perhaps the best known by the public in general is a division of the human brain into two parts, are:
Left Hemisphere, with respect to logic, including the words and mathematics.
Right Hemisphere, with regard to emotion or feeling or taste, including the imaging.

Level Of Consciousness
The human brain can be understood according to several categories of distribution. Between the other is
according to level of consciousness, namely:
Aware, a condition also known as beta (located on the vibration 15 Hz – 3 MHz or more above),
which when all our senses are on awake status (have the perception of time and space).
The threshold of conscious or condition alpha (located on the vibration 7 Hz – 15 Hz), when we're
thinking, contemplation, meditation, intuitive, which is not limited by (or exceed) time and space.
Subconscious or condition theta (located on the vibration 4 Hz – 7 Hz), when we are sleeping or
meditation.
Not recognizing or condition of the delta (located on the vibration 0 Hz – 4 Hz), when someone in a
state of unconsciousness, or been in a coma.

The View From Some Of Its Aspects

The human brain can also be divided into several aspects, such as:
Intuition.
Correctness or true/ false.
Fitness or harmony, beauty.
Goodness or good/ bad.

Definition Of Rationality
There are a lot of understanding of rationality that are often still being debated. We try to bring one of
them, that is derived from Max Webber, the German sociologist. He defines human rationality into 4
reviews, in conjunction with our nature as social beings, namely:
In connection with an end result or goal, which had previously been taken into account.
In terms of values: ethics and morality, art and beauty, spirituality.
In connection with the feelings and emotions, or in connection with our hearts.
In terms of tradition or habit that has been ingrained in us.

And in many occasions, we find that rational term is often also used to show that:
It makes sense, in the sense of: having a good rating, something that is practical if implemented,
not extreme or excessive – Webster's.
Logical: justifiable on the basis of reason.
Contains economic sense: not wasteful.
Coherent: easy to understand, clearly.

That glimpse of rationality which is the psychological understanding of our brain function.
 Physical Understanding Of The Brain & Body

We already know that the picture is in addition to brain, well, our brain, and
that's the chart according to its function so far been revealed. However, I
personally believe that the brain still has lots of secrets that have not
successfully revealed when compared with the already successful. Our physical
brain is remarkable (it just physically, not to mention the psychological aspect).
He controls and provide support so that we can live physically. We breathe
because of the work of the brain, as well as blood circulation and also with our
heart rate. Imagine, if part of the brain that controls both of these stops 15
minutes only, what about that happening? Now, let us review briefly some
systems in our physical realm, but are not exhaustive as the medical world, but
simply just to get a glimpse only.

Cell you know that our body is an integrated system, a

That said, this is the smallest parts that make up
our physical body. The smallest size is a sperm cell.
As a comparison only, that speck of scratches of a
pen can be composed of about 2 million sperm
cells. So, let's guess, approximately how many total
number of cells that make up our physical body? 1
billion? 10 billion? 1 trillion? Or the number is about
10 trillion cells?
Each cell has a function, duty and life span. The
cells that die will soon be replaced by a new one,
the term is regeneration. But not so with the brain
cells (do not regenerate). So if someone is having a
stroke (because there are parts of the brain cells
that die because they do not get oxygen supply
exceeds about 2 hours, as a result of the blockage
or rupture of blood vessels leading to the cell), then
the stroke patient should undergo treatment
(exercise), like a child just learning to walk, for the
body part that had been controlled by the brain
cells that die, in its phase of post-stroke. What
exactly are trained? Who were trained actually
brain cells that take over new functions and tasks of
the cells that have died, due to brain cell (which is
dead) does not regenerate.
If the events of this stroke is because there are
parts of the brain cells that die because they do not
get a supply of oxygen, so what are the actual
supplies needed each cell in order to perform their
functions and duties in addition to oxygen? Lots,
but oxygen is the main supply should not be
interrupted. In addition, the glucose derived from
food and beverages in our daily lives.
Cells that have similar duties and functions will
form a network, and network forming organs, and
organs will form organ systems. What is meant by
this organ system? That is, an activity in our body
that not only is the work of one organ alone, even
the few organs that make up a system, or a blend
of several organ systems. As an example of this is
breathing activity. This is the result of work, at
least, of the system of the brain, lungs, circulatory
system (including heart). Thus, it is willing to let
term known as systemic.
If our physical body is described as a city, then the
cells of our bodies is a residence (home),
workplaces, places of recreation, and so forth for
the people of the city.
And in fact, the total number of cells that make up
our physical body is estimated at about 100 trillion
number.
Brain & Nervous System
It was like a computer, then the brain is the
processor, memory and the main-board.
The brain is a very sophisticated organ that is
central to the control of the physical body, and also
to the realm of our psyche. From all parts of our
physical, it can be said of the brain and nervous
system is the physical part of the highest quality. In
short, all activities of the body or us, must involve
the brain as a central command.
Brain system is also a bridge between the physical
body with the psychic realm of our self. And
according to my understanding, all existing systems
on our physical body is an extension of the brain
(the agent of the brain), which was the brain
systems that govern such a way that all existing
systems in order to provide support for the brain,
while also, support for the entire system itself.
When described as a city, then the system of the
brain is the central government.
Circulation Of Blood Or Vascular System
It is a means of transport or transport to and/ or
from all cells of our bodies. Which is transported
supplies to all of our cells, whereas cells derived
from all of our body is a remnant metabolism.
Examples are the transport of oxygen from the
inhalation (breathing in) in the lungs to every cell of
our bodies, while the carbon dioxide, as metabolic
waste, would be transported from all over our
body's cells to pass through the lungs (exhale
breath).
When described as a city, then the circulatory
system is a network path.

Respiratory System
The main function of this system is to draw oxygen
from outside to enter into our body and remove
carbon dioxide, as a metabolic waste from our body
through the lungs. Thus, our body's cells to perform
their duties and functions. And without this, we
would not be alive physically.
Digestive System
When oxygen is obtained from the respiratory
system, the main function of the digestive system is Endocrine Or Hormonal System
to digest and absorb nutrients (in the form of
glucose) from food and beverages in our daily life,
to be supplied to every cell of our body, for our
body's cells to perform tasks and function. In
addition, digestive system, in this case the
stomach, also serves as the gateway of the body's
defense against germs from food and drink of our
daily.
Senses System
This sensory system is an agent of the brain that
functions as a media directly exposed to the world
outside our physical body. Take the example of one body will be unable to perform its duties and
of the senses, such as our eyes. But the fact that
translate or identify the object as seen by the eye is poisoning as a result of accumulated waste in our
the brain, while the eye is only functioning as a
mere pair of binoculars. However, the brain also
relies on the work of this eye.
This sensory system consists of:
Auditory system (a pair of ear), which
captures wave around 15 Hz – 15 KHz (a
sensation of sound).
Temperature measuring systems that are
beyond our physical body (skin), catch a
wave around 15 KHz - 1.5 MHz (in the form
of heat sensation).
Visual system (eyes) that captures wave
around 1.5 MHz – 3 MHz (a sensation of
light).
Olfactory system (nose).
System of taste (tongue).
Consider a wave that can be captured by our
senses system, not the numbers according to the
beta status of our brain at the level of
consciousness of the psychic realm?
This system helps the brain or nervous system as a
bridge between the physical body with the psychic
realm of our self (emotional side).
Excretion & Detoxification System
As a part of, or even derived from nature, then our
body must also adopt one of the working system of
nature, namely the input-process-output. Well, this
excretion system is representing the phase output.
So, why do we need to rest or sleep? We are resting
or sleeping in order to provide opportunities for our
body to detoxify. Without this system, then our
functions optimally, and we probably will die of
bodies.
Let's just imagine a city filled with garbage strewn
in every corner, whether the city would be
comfortable to live? Thus it can be said city and
even then not be able to perform its duties and
functions optimally as a city.
I, personally, give the term for this system as an
activity of our physical body in order to reset/
restore/ restart/ reuse/ recycle/ re-update, so that
the whole body of existing systems can be re-run
the tasks and functions optimally.
 Our Daily Life & Malfunctions

First of all, perhaps there is an opinion that the terms of the rational (good) or irrational (bad) is very
relative. Is it really so? What is meant by the term relative? According to our viewpoint relative to each
other?
Well, my understanding says that relativity is only possible if we do not have a benchmark, and the
relativity only applies to something that is limited by time and space. So, what's the benchmark that we
will use here? The benchmark is our conscience that comes from the Divine Truth, and certainly also not
limited by time and space. Thus, is not this is not relative anymore?
Then, we can not arbitrarily in touch with the conscience (we must honor him with sincere), and
according to my understanding, there are some things that can be said as a condition, such as:
Willing to listen.
Honestly, in other words there is not a lie or a lot of reasons.
Willing to do what's required.
Always open to be corrected.
Willing to act on the basis of the existing correction.

Now, to continue this discussion, consider, if our daily lives we try to associate with the level of
consciousness that we refer to the previous, from the existing 24 hours, then:
Practically about 16 hours we are in beta status.
About 6 hours on the status of theta (while sleeping).
And a relative had alpha status no longer exists in our daily life, because the time left in this
condition we were already tired.

In fact, I think personally, the quality of one's life,
one of them, is determined by the quality of his
status for this alpha. Why is that? Well, because life
does not consist only of the aspect captured by our
senses alone (in fact we all already knew any of
this). That is, there are other aspects beyond the
realm of material, which is precisely the qualitative
part of a much more important.
So actually, the allocation of time from 24 hours of
our daily life that tend to be less proportional
qualitatively.
Then, there are at least three components that
have contributed in the formation of one's self,
namely:
Congenital birth, for example, is talent.
Environment, in terms of influence. That is,
with whom we interact, then it will greatly
affect the way we think, that the ends can
be seen from how the way we address the
situation/ challenge/ problem.
Habit is what we choose to be our daily life.
And this is part of a very large role in the
formation of one's self. That is, if we assume
these three components as 100%, then I,
personally, believe that the habit may have
a portion above 51% (single majority). The
reason is that whatever our innate and also
the environment that affect us, but without
any permission from us, then everything
would have no impact at all.
As a result of this will give birth to our selfhood is
certainly not proportional as well, because it is
accumulative (happen every day, weeks, months
and even years). Moreover, supposing this life is a
training barracks (habit), then what is so is what is
trained, so that gradually we will probably be much
less sensitive to things that are non-material.
This allocation does not need as described above,
particularly regarding the status of beta and alpha.
That is, while we are in a beta status, we might as
well be in alpha status (simultaneously). So, what is
described above was essentially just want to tell us
how important the role of alpha status, so that this
status is expected to, or instead should be
presented in order to fill our everyday lives, either
stand alone or together with other status (in this
case is the beta status).

Furthermore, in psychology, this certainly is a sign of the symptoms that are latent (not felt by the
sufferers themselves). Slowly but surely, it will grow into a psychological aberration. Try and look around
us (including ourselves, too), would not have any of the following:
Feeling burnout would be daily, almost losing originality of selfhood, so that it becomes less
creative and ultimately more fake, than finding something new.
Because lead a lifestyle that seems so boring, so that his life had become dry, then wilt, and
eventually die.
 Time after time, life was increasingly felt the weight, so that inevitably arise a predicate selfish
nature of most people today, even likely narcissistic.
Following the majority to seek the safe side only, and surprisingly without feeling the need to
understand first, due to time there are more priority to matters that are material (because maybe
think this is what is more important than others). Thus, it is definitely not having enough time to
bear a sufficient understanding of quality (including things about eating and drinking, it means we
are often more interested in feeling good for the tongue rather than to our health).
Feeling the weight if necessary to move from the comfort zone or more to maintain the status-quo
condition.
And there are plenty more like: hypocrites, proud or arrogant, subjective, masked, prejudiced,
tend to feel incontestably, jealousy, envy, thirst, irritability, aggressive, anarchistic, reactive rather
than pro-active, instant mentality, fear, consumptive, and so forth, and so on.

I do not intend to prejudice, as this could apply to anyone, without exception, including my own.

And, if reform efforts are not taken immediately to all the excesses of mal-function, then over time,
everything will be stored very "neat" on the status of our theta, which in turn will shape our selfhood. This
is what I termed the psychological malfunctions.

So, whether this in turn will impact on our physical
body?
Let's take an example, suppose a corruptor who are
caught, let alone been convicted. Look, is not in
general will appear physical illness (not including
those that only pretend sick)? According to my
understanding, when caught or convicted,
explosion occurred as a result of an accumulation of
things during this negativity (before it was caught)
in the realm of spirituality and the psyche. Where is
the explosion in turn affects the chaos in physical
systems. So, in fact this explosion is a huge
pressure that is not borne by the relevant strong.
Moreover, when previously there had been a
particular disease, either already known, or that
have not been in a physical body concerned. Thus,
this is actually going to tell us that the chaos in the
physical is an excess.
So, my understanding says, do not be surprised,
when we hear a lot of problems arise in the
physical. The most popular today is the emergence
of a variety of degenerative diseases, such as high
blood pressure, an imbalance of the level of acidity
of body fluids, an imbalance of cholesterol levels,
diabetes, disorders of the stomach, gout,
constipation, easily arise sore throat, cough, runny
nose, and also other strange diseases. Actually this
is a picture of a physical malfunction.
As an analogy, take just one example, an
organization, whether at the level of environmental
organizations, educational institutions, companies,
even though a state. In this case we take the
example of such a country (democracy). Is not how
the behavioral model that sits on top of the
supreme command (the executive and legislative)
which in turn will give effect to the levels that are
below it? Because one of the duties and functions of
the top high command is to determine the priority
of the outlines of the policy to be run by the levels
below it.
Thus, physical illnesses that there is an excess of
malfunctions in our psychology, where it is going to
tell that actually had an interruption in the
command center of our selfhood, which is the realm
of our spirituality (domino effect), and this is what I
termed by spiritual malfunction. Why is that?
Because humans are an integrated system
(spirituality, rationality/ psychological and physical).

Thus, in essence, there have been malfunctions in the whole realm of our selfhood (the domino effect),
starting from our spiritual realm (which are usually unconscious or latent), then an impact on the realm of
rationality or psychology (which usually also do not realize or latent), and the last is on our physical body,
namely in the form of the disease (realized).
 Way Back Home

I am not making this up or intend to frighten with the purpose to offer goods or consultancy services.
Instead, it was a personal experience that I wrote, just so we do not be fooled by paying quite expensive
of all goods and consulting services out there.
Then, how? Simple. This is about the voice of our conscience. So, supposing, we're on the way home, with
its essence is:
Peace and listen intently (alpha status).
After that, act according to what is asked, even though sometimes we do not understand what its
usefulness (beta and alpha).
If our consciences correct us, then be honest, do not even try to dodge, then listen to the more
earnestly (alpha status).
After that, act with more earnestly, alias corrected (beta and alpha).
Try to hold (though not successfully), and never give up, because he will remain faithful to guide
us (because really, nothing is more worth fighting for than this in this life).

So, listen and act, listen and act. I repeat, listen and act (without a lot of reasons), and when the time has
come, then we will come to understand. While already understood, I believe, we will become more
serious with the repetition of the above (listening and acting).
And at a time, then do not be surprised if a miracle seemed to happen to us. Miracle? Tell you what, I'll try
to explain briefly through one of my stories that seem real enough proof, that is about my hair.

The type of my hair is wavy, about shoulder length.
Because of its kind choppy then tend to dry, like in
general. Due to the length of the shoulder was also
then require regular maintenance than short. Thus,
this maintenance is certain I am doing since I was
young (a few tens of years already). Moreover,
because very frequent visitor to the salon for
regular maintenance (twice a week), so I learned
that my dry type of hair is above the average (extra
dry), so that routine maintenance was to be a bit
extra (external to internal), if not so it would seem
likely to become dull or worn and broken or
branched at the ends. Just imagine, how much
money I spent for this? Or, why not just cut short?
Because, in fact, does not solve the problem
substantially, and I personally prefer to have rather
long hair :-)
Then, how the condition of my hair now after peace
with my conscience?
Wavy and shoulder length still. And if not wrong,
within a period of about 3 years, my hair disease
(which tend to be dull or worn and broken or
branched at the ends) do not appear again, even
without external maintenance, let alone internal (no
need to go to the salon again). This is what I mean
by a miracle, and truly beyond my reasoning. Just
look back to a previous state. And I think the
physical condition of my hair today the term is 180°
with the previous.
Why is the example I gave here is about my hair?
Besides real enough (it can be observed by our
senses), the other reason is how the condition of
the parts end of our physical body (hair, nails,
tongue, etc.) actually represent / indicate / inform
the state of our bodies, and this I know from a book
entitled Body Signs by Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.D.
& Jacqueline Nardi Egan.
Well, that's the story of my hair, and I believe that
we will find the story each of us personally.

However, the time required may not be a minute. Why is that?

Now, honestly, how long have we “destroy” our self, whether conscious or not? 10 years? 20 years? Or
even 40 years? Then, with the wishes we hope all this will happen within 6 months? 1 year? 2 years?
Even 3 years? Come on!
By the way, whether it should always be considered
such things as miracles? Look, whether the process
of embryo until we are ready to be born is not
magic? Then, the birth itself is not miraculous?
Then, the process of our understanding, of not
knowing anything (in our childhood), to become, at
least, understood at present, does not constitute a
miracle? Thus, is not actually too many miracles
that happen in everyday life that often we do not
realize?
Furthermore, does not constitute a miracle too, if
tomorrow we still alive? That is, if we know we are
still alive or not tomorrow? Then, why do we have
to worry or feel the need to have, to feel that only
this is the only hope, so that the crazy pursuit of all
things pertaining to mundane? Why do we even did
not seem worried about our breath (if tomorrow we
are still alive or not)? Do we think that it is precisely
because we do not know if tomorrow we are still
alive or not, so what's the point we are thinking
about our breath? If so, then what good are we
desperately pursuing worldliness? Or, lest we think
that this (breath) has become a liability that should
be provided by nature for us, because all this is not
our plan to vote come into this life?
It's fine if we adopt this as our point of view.
However, there is also another opinion of them
think that it is precisely because we have never, or
even illegal to select it (come into this life), but on
the contrary, we even allowed to attend in order to
enjoy all that exists (grace), it was fitting we just
should be grateful for all this.
Well, the two points of view there is an example of
the duality, and we have full rights over our free
will, to determine which is the way we look. Thus,
what we choose would be dwelling in our hearts,
and later will serve as a compass or a destination
for cruise ships of our lives (as described in the
beginning). Moreover, because there are
consequences that will follow our choices later,
then it is best to realize it at the beginning before
deciding on a choice (although, if it is wrong, will
still have a chance, but immediately make
corrections).

Actually, the term “domino effect” mentioned above have been known to the world about three thousand
years ago BC. Is precisely in the year 2698-2598 BC in China on the Yellow Emperor's reign, with the title
of his famous book, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon (Huangdi Neijing), where it is a milestone in the
history of the commencement of Ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine.

But so far, we might wonder, why is there no detailed steps as we know so far. Well, I also want to ask,
"are not we are each unique?". So that the handling was unique in character (not the same). That is, the
actual details of these steps, it is the conscience of our own (personal or unique), meaning that our
conscience knows better than me.
So once again, in outline, correct our spirituality, or in other words, make peace with our consciences
(listen and act), then in turn it is our spirituality that would take care of psychological and physical
illnesses that exist for us. Do not be reversed! Alias, do not start from the psychic, let alone physically,
because they are precisely controlled by the spirituality, alias it's just a waste of time and effort, it will
not be comprehensive. Because spirituality is central to the supreme command of our selfhood.
As an analogy, is not the strategy of an attack is intended to cripple the command center of power? And
so also the intent of the description above, but with the aim of restoring.
 Closing Words

What or how did it go, or what I'm feeling right now after the "listening and acting"?
About the condition of the physical, one of which is the improving condition of my hair (which I have told
before). Meanwhile, psychologically, just read back part of the psychological malfunction, but by
replacing the symptoms are bad (negative or bad) with its opposite (positive or good) :-) , although it is
still going to proceed in our lifetime, and indeed, this represents a new beginning, a good start, I believe.

And with the look or feel things that tend to lead to a positive side to the physical body, then we also
know that so does a similar thing is happening in the realm of our spirituality and our psychology (domino
effect).

“who we truly are?”

is about our choices through our

free will to choose from duality

rational or irrational

Where, rational = healthy, while irrational = disease

Finally:
This discussion is merely a shared space.
This discussion is an understanding that is personal, so it is not a referral, so it is very open to be
corrected.
Does not represent any and/ or anyone else, except the author's own self.
Thus, as the goal is, let's just say this discussion merely serves as a stimulus/ trigger/ just a
suggestion, we find an understanding in personal (our version of each) in this life.
