Reference: “All It Is” Reference: “3 Primary Motivators”
Sunday, January 8
Walton: So, my young perceiver of the planet, what is your primary question or concern about the chapter on the three primary motivators?
David: To wrap it up in a single question, even before I read the content under the title, I figured it would be something as simple as “why do we do what we do?”.
Walton: Very good, very concise, and now all we need to do is summarize how that question can most simply be answered !
David: Ready, steady, go!
Walton: Let’s go back just a little bit to the chapter about the four categories of electronic components of a circuit board, and also the four components of your neural network. Everything in that discussion came down to examining the terms “amplitude” and “frequency”.
David: “Everything is energy”. And we can measure that.
Walton: Energy is defined by its waveform. An energy signal of high amplitude and high frequency are more likely to possibly be destructive to delicate human tissue. More moderate levels of amplitude and frequency are more likely to be pleasantly received by the human sensory system.
David: So, we do what we do and we think what we think simply because of the degree of vibrational stimuli that we perceive in the world around us?
Walton: Yes. That external stimuli which is of a higher energy intensity could possibly lead to actual physical destruction of human tissue. So any extreme amount of energy in stimuli could be damaging. It could hurt! Pain experienced! Therefore, we are motivated to avoid or end the potential for that personal tissue destruction. And we also therefore choose to create a short program stored in the belief system to maintain the memory of that event, just in case it should potentially happen again. That is a description of the motivator called the Avoidance of Pain.
David: I am guessing that we use the exact same process for things that aren’t considered painful. Right?
Walton: The simplicity of this program is that, yes, the method for processing ALL energy signals and their energy intensity is the same experience. And the second primary motivator, the Pursuit of Pleasure, still works off of that same principle. When we experience stimuli of a lesser degree of intensity, one which is not going to be damaging to human tissue, it stimulates the human being just enough to be pleasant, and therefore safe to be replicated.
David: So, that explains a lot more about how your whole PTP program is laid out: first we studied the overall awareness system of a human, then we studied how the sensory system works with that Awareness, and then finally how the belief system is created to assist that sensory system, or body, in staying alive! The world is all energy. We are designed to process energy into something safe for our preservation . And hopefully we don’t make too many mistakes by creating something that is potentially dangerous to ourselves or others.
Walton: All five of the human sensors are able to categorize these potential stimuli based on the actual physical impact of the amplitude and frequency waveform contained within the potential stimuli.
So to put it in a nutshell definition: why do we do what we do? We do it to protect and maintain the physical human body, the sensory system. And thus the belief system simply is a programmed collection of those potential stimulating events that could either damage or pleasantly stimulate the human body. And all of it is simply based on the intensity of the energy approaching the human in its immediate environment.
David: So what occurs after all this programming is stored in the sensory system? What is the beliefs system’s primary purpose? Is it to just continually run the programs that keep the body and the self and the beliefs alive?
Walton: You seem to already have a pretty good grasp of this whole chapter. Yes, how it works is this:
As the human organism experiences a stimulus-filled physical world first-hand, the belief system then takes over and creates, or stores, a record, a programmed world, in which any potentially damaging, or actual damaging event, is less likely to occur. And also any pleasant, or safe, potential event is encouraged to occur, to be replicated.
David< And how about the third “Primary Motivator”, the experience of Pure Perception?
Walton: As far as the third primary motivator, the pure unfiltered direct experience of something, that is when the human organism is not engaging, or triggering, any of its preprogrammed responses, but simply moving around through the environment observing, but not reacting or responding to what it perceives. It looks, sees, feels, hears, and tastes what it encounters. No labels, no judgments, no need for input into the Belief System by way of the Sensory System. It is what it is, it senses what it senses, and then it moves on to the next life event. There’s no necessity to create an action that will lead to the avoidance or pursuit of those sensory inputs.
So, to summarize: “We do what we do” simply to avoid painful events from intense energy sources, to pursue pleasurable events that contain more moderate levels of energy, and sometimes, although very rarely, to simply groove, or grok, the world around us with no intent to prolong, avoid, or pursue those stimulating events. They just are what they are, no need for behavioral modification required!
The chapter you read last night has examples for all of the five basic senses. Music and sound for hearing.. Food for tasting. Physical contact for touching. A variety of aromas for smelling. And a whole planet of interesting places and things for seeing.
David: Most of those things are outward examples of our motivational responses. Could we cover, just for a minute, the relationship between our stored beliefs, which are not things that are in our immediate environment? How do simply store programs also control our life in the same way that an immediately available stimulus effects our behavior?
Walton: The simplest way to approach that is going back to what we learned about your belief system. Pretend once again that your belief system is simply similar to programming code designed to make a computer operate. Whenever any particular message is keyed into the computer, it calls up the sub-routine of a particular section of the programming, requiring any connected peripheral devices to respond. No offense, but human beings aren’t that much more fantastic than a simple machine . As a matter of fact, to my amazement, I very often notice that vast numbers of human beings act like nothing more than machines. No conscious awareness of what they are doing, or how they are interacting. It is like they are in a zone, in a trance, and there is no real sense of awareness or awakeness going on within them. That is one of the main reasons I came up with the term “Trance ants” for the majority of human beings. As Thoreau stated , sometimes “we live meanly, like ants.”
David: So through the majority of a typical person’s day, they may not even be cognizant of how or why they are responding to their environment. Programming itself takes over? It dominates their existence. They are no longer human beings that would be considered alive?
Walton: Unfortunately, and very sadly, that is so true. That is one of the primary reasons why this current program that I am sharing with you, the PTP program is specifically designed not only to explain why we are what we currently are, but also supply the simplest way to wake back up, to regain our original awareness, the awareness we had when we were very very very young. Maybe even learn how to basically delete lots of the programming subroutines that unknowingly control us as human beings.
David: And for the “specific examples” part of this chapter, what have you got for me?
Walton: Nothing that requires any major energetic effort on your part. But it will give you good practice in your ever-increasing heightened state of inner Awareness. It will help you move out of the Trance Ant category of human being-ness.
The exercise is called: “Have To/Want To”. Playing this game requires you to examine the comparison of several choices in your life: the things that you possess, every action that you choose to take, and the daily decisions that you make.
David: You mean about anything, and everything? That’s a lot of stuff!
Walton: You can even perform this task while operating heavy machinery!! You will begin to see how completely these two motivators have taken over your past existence. The choices you previously have made now run your life. You don’t make the choices anymore, your programming has it all covered! This exercise expects you to compare “pain versus pleasure” as a motivator for you to do all the things that you do. To buy what you buy. It also covers so many things that a person does in any average day, or the things they claim to “own”, or the future decisions they need to consider. Categorize them all into “Want to vs. Have to.” I want that, I don’t want that. I need that, I must get rid of that. See if you can remember why you made those earlier choices.
David: Yeah, I see. No small task at all! I first have to decide if I do or don’t want to do this exercise! And what my motive would be for making that particular choice.
Walton: As I mentioned a bit earlier, the bottom part of the chapter you read last night has lots of examples. Start with the short story of the discussion about the primary motivators which the triplets have. Follow the discussion of Peter, Piper, and Pepper! And if that section doesn’t provide enough examples, below that discussion, there are brief exercises to experience the three primary motivators, and how to use the increase or decrease of sensory stimulation to detect the differences between all five of the basic human senses. Other than experimenting with those listed exercises yourself, I don’t think I need to burden you right now with any other ways to demonstrate this particular chapter.
David: Go thou and experience the world? Learn to become more Awake and Aware? Sense, but don’t get stuck in non-sense??
Walton: Sounds like a “sensible” way to spend a precious new day and world! And let me also suggest that when you read the chapter for tomorrow’s discussion, you will see a very direct connection between the three primary motivators of all human behavior, and the three primary interactions, or categories, of that human behavior. The two chapters are very closely intertwined with each other. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, don’t allow yourself to continue being yet one more miserable blinded Trance Ant!
David: (singing, as he walks off) “Ant” no mountain high enough!! “Ant” no misery low enough…”
