anger being expressed.
If we didn’t immediately express that anger about that something that frustrated our basic emotional need but instead, repressed it, it would increase our unconscious entity, at the same time the frustration would increase our unmet basic emotional need. That frustrating event would cause an added deficit to what is unmet of our basic emotional need. A certain amount of repressed anger produces an equal amount of unconscious entity, that’s added to what we previously had, and the frustration that caused that anger, also increases our unmet basic emotional need that we previously had, by the same amount that our unconscious entity increased. We can later lower what is unmet of our basic emotional need by engaging in anything that is consciously, or unconsciously, recognized as pleasurable to us, but our unconscious entity from those frustrations would stay at the same level until we can unconsciously turn it back into directly expressed anger. Unconscious entity can only be reduced by directly expressed anger.
We might recognize many of our frustrations of our basic emotional need as insignificant, or “just not worth getting angry about.” We might accept them as being “just a part of life” and feel that we should “grow up” and put these insignificant frustrations behind us and “get on with life,” and some frustrations that are experienced more in our unconscious, won’t be consciously recognized at all. Whether recognized or not, they all will result in a small amount of anger. If this anger is not immediately expressed, it will be repressed. The resulting small amounts of unconscious entity being produced by the repression of anger from seemingly trivial or unrecognized frustrations of our basic emotional need can accumulate to such a size that its primary and secondary feelings may later show themselves as an emotional problem, or a disabling psychiatric disorder. The cause of the problem or disorder won’t be recognizable to us, and probably won’t be recognizable to any mental health professional that we might see, who might then believe it has a biochemical or genetic origin. If it’s not concluded that it has a brain-related biochemical or genetic origin, what we can remember of our past reality, such as some distantly past traumatic event where there had been similar experienced feelings to those being experienced now, may be unconsciously presented by us as the very cause of our now being so emotionally uncomfortable, and that, we already know, is not so. In fact, it’s a big deception!
Our unconscious can’t be searched by us to find the recently incurred cause of our currently increased unconscious entity and our unmet basic emotional need like our reality can. Even if we could uncover it, there is so much that is “part”-oriented and involves that illogical equating based on commonly shared predicates, where the predicates may not always be factual to make any sense. An explanation of a biochemical or genetic origin, or of a long past traumatic event, can make more sense to us and to others. They make sense like explanations for how we feel involving the phases of the moon, or the alignment of the planets, or the lack of sufficient sun-light in the winter, which, interestingly, is when we can’t get out as much to engage in talking, and like explanations of “bad” genes or insufficient “feel good” endorphins do. Even explanations of being possessed by the Devil and requiring exorcism, or having “crooked neurons” in our brain that are producing “crooked thoughts,” or our having “bad blood” that then requires “blood-letting” (A once popular “treatment” that might have caused our first president’s death!), or our harboring “toxins” in our colons making us feel bad, can make more sense than trying to explain the true unconscious causes.
It’s the current levels of accumulated unconscious entity and our unmet basic emotional need in our unconscious, as well as what is currently occurring in our reality, that together are determining how emotionally uncomfortable we currently are. It’s not due to some traumatic event that might have happened years ago that we, because we are so emotionally uncomfortable at the moment, are now prone to remembering because of the predicate-equating that our unconscious is doing. Neither is it due to something that occurred when we were a child and is now “rearing its ugly head,” like childhood sexual abuse. Instead, it’s what’s going on right here in the present, both recognized and unrecognized, in regard to our reality, that’s increasing our unmet basic emotional need and increasing our unconscious entity in our unconscious to uncomfortable levels! Though this might sound like a simple concept for anyone to accept, it has profound implications. Fully understanding this “simple concept” should dramatically change our thinking about the origin of many of our emotional problems as well as what makes us feel emotionally uncomfortable. That understanding could make a very convincing case against reality for the immediate origin and the later resolution of many of our emotional problems that we might have thought involved only our reality, and nothing else.
As our basic emotional need is increasingly met, which is to say we consciously and unconsciously experience more pleasure, it generates more “good” feelings which will find a focus somewhere in our reality. What we perceive of that reality focus will be what we’ll believe is the sole reason for our “good” feelings. As our unconscious entity increases, it generates more “bad” feelings that will also find some focus in our reality. What we will perceive of that focus in reality, we will believe is the sole origin of our “bad” feelings. What this means is that if our basic emotional need is being met enough, we’ll tend to see our reality as productive of “good” feelings. If our unconscious entity increases enough, we’ll tend to see our reality as productive of “bad” feelings. In both these cases, what reality might be actually producing in regard to our experienced “good” or “bad” feelings could be inconsequential. The feelings could be predominately coming, unrecognized by ourselves and by others, less from the current reality we might have, but a lot more from what’s currently in our unconscious. When our “good” feelings outweigh our “bad” feelings, we’ll feel good. With more of our basic emotional need being met, we’ll feel even better. That’s the opposite of what our increasing unconscious entity in our unconscious does. When our “bad” feelings outweigh our “good” feelings, we’ll feel badly. With more of an increase in our unconscious entity, we’ll feel worse. How much worse we’ll feel, will depend upon the level of our unconscious entity, and the level to which our basic emotional need is unmet.
Where the primary feelings of our unconscious entity are focused in our reality is still part of our unconscious. Just because our unconscious entity is focused on something about us, doesn’t get rid of it. It’s still in our unconscious. That “hat of guilt” that we can put on ourselves, where if we’re not feeling guilty about one thing, we’ll find something else about which to feel guilty, is more accurately a “hat of the unconscious entity.” That hat is in our unconscious, and it doesn’t have to be limited to guilt feelings at all. It may be of any of those unwanted feelings that derive themselves from our unconscious entity. Our unconscious can hang that hat on anything in our reality associated with us, but it’s still our hat. The only way we can get rid of that hat, is by turning that hat back into anger. We don’t get rid of it with “good advice” from mental health professionals who see only the focus of the unconscious entity in reality and are unaware of that entity’s existence in a person’s unconscious and its ability to make that person emotionally uncomfortable. But our talking about that “good advice” with a mental health professional, might unknowingly allow us to change that hat back into anger that’s unrecognized, when anger is unconsciously expressed by us in our talking about that advice, or talking about anything else we dislike, to our listener. With less unconscious entity, we have less of those unwanted feelings about ourselves, so that we’ll feel better. This, then, has a potential of making any given advice, whether good advice or bad, appear as effective advice. It can explain why talking with a quack, about that quack’s advice, or about that quack’s explanation for why we feel the way we do, and what’s necessary for us to feel better, could be effective in decreasing the unwanted feelings we might be having, so that we later do feel better. We’ll then attribute our feeling better to the quack’s advice and not to what has unrecognizably occurred within our unconscious, and that is, we’ve turned some of our unconscious entity back into anger which was subtly expressed in our talking to the quack.
