Two different systems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longer I think about it, the more fascinating I find the question:<br><strong>What influence do hormones really have on my reality creation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, there are hormones.<br>Of course, there are physical states.<br>Of course, there are nerve signals, exhaustion, hunger, pain, adrenaline, cortisol and all the other things that happen in this incredible human organism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>But do these things create my psychological reality?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, this is the crucial question.<br>Take pain.<br>If pain automatically determined our experience, how could people undergo medical or dental procedures under hypnosis with a markedly altered perception of pain? How could self-hypnosis work at all?<br>Hypnosis is an extreme example, I know! But even without hypnosis, psychological experience is always different from person to person and from moment to moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Obviously, the signal isn't the whole story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There may be a physical signal. Nerves fire. My brain processes something. Something hurts.<br>But then something completely different comes in:<br><strong>What do I make of it?<\/strong><br>Maybe nothing.<br>Maybe I think: <em>Ouch.<\/em><br>End of story.<br>Or, within seconds, I build an entire universe out of this one signal:<br><em>Shit. What is this? What if it gets worse? Hopefully it's nothing serious. Why does this have to happen to me, of all people? I can't stand this. What if it never goes away?<\/em><br>And suddenly I don't just have pain.<br>I have created a world.<br>A reality.<br>My little universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, this is the huge difference between <strong>pain and suffering<\/strong>.<br>Pain is a physical sensation. A signal. Something happens in my body and is processed by my nervous system.<br>Suffering, on the other hand, is experience.<br>And this experience is not simply identical to the signal.<br>It arises from what comes alive in my thinking.<br>This is exactly where it gets really exciting for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the same is true for hormones.<br>Hormones can change something physically. They can change activation, tiredness, hunger, alertness, sensitivity, attention, and maybe even influence which thoughts offer themselves more easily. Maybe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a hormone can't think for me.<br>It can't decide which thought becomes truth for me.<br>It can't give my thinking meaning on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Meaning arises in my own process of creating reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that is exactly where an incredible freedom lies for me.<br>Out of something that didn't exist before, I create an experienced world.<br>A thought comes up.<br>I give it meaning and power.<br>Consciousness brings it to life.<br>And suddenly I'm standing in the middle of a universe that didn't even exist seconds before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is my little quantum field.<br>Not in the physical sense of a quantum field, but as an image for this incredible creative space in which a whole experienced world can suddenly arise out of nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Master of my Universe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because I control my body.<br>Not because I can stop hormones from being released.<br>Not because I can decide whether my nerves send pain signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But because none of this determines <strong>which psychological world I create from it.<\/strong><br>That, for me, is the real power.<br>I can give a thought power.<br>And the moment I do, a whole universe can arise from it.<br>Fear. Hope. Catastrophe. Freedom. Despair. Possibility.<br>All from something that didn't exist a moment before.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And maybe that's why freedom isn't about having no more pain, no hormones and no intense physical sensations.<br>Maybe freedom lies in seeing more and more clearly:<br><strong>The signal is a signal.<\/strong><br><strong>The world I create from it is my creation!<\/strong><br><strong>It is the universe I'm living in right now.<\/strong><br><strong>My personal experience of reality.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Realit\u00e4tserschaffung durch Denken &#8211; darum geht es hier, und zwar im Vergleich zu allem, was der K\u00f6rper an Signalen liefert.
