Four pillars of life (Part 1)

These 4 pillars of life are the building blocks of human life. If, we build our life on these pillars, it would bring success, prosperity, happiness, peace, unity and achieving objectives of global humanity.

1. LOVE – Love is the first and very strong pillar of life. It makes us living being who can share the feeling of love with others. It is the feeling which arises from the cortex of the human brain for someone without any expectation, genuine one. This love does not differentiate whether you are showing/giving it to a human or animal or insect. It is very pure and unbiased. I feel this makes us even more human.

Don’t confuse this pure love with a biased and selfish love. People can perceive and define love in different ways. People might put forward their own selfish desires/wants/feelings on others and expect others to fulfill them and might call it “LOVE”.

For example-

Parents beating their kids can defend themselves by saying that, “we love our kids and we want better future for them, so we have right to beat them”.

A husband forcing his wife to have sex might call his feelings a pure love. He might even defend himself by saying that, ” if you love me, then you must have sex with me now.”

A spouse might ask his/her partner to cross a line and do something wrong to prove that he/she lover him/her.

Parents controlling the life of their kids and commanding them like army cadets all the time might defend themselves that they love their kids.

Blackmailing someone emotionally might be a definition of love for someone. They might ask their family members to satisfy their own needs. And ignoring the desires, needs, likes, dislikes of those family members.

Love can be defined differently how people were brought up, what culture they belong to and how they perceive things around them. But, we are talking about that pure love, which does not expect anything in return but always wants prosperity and success of your family, friends and other people.

How the love starts

“LOVE” in the discription of the Noble Truth.

1. The pure LOVE originates in heart and brain sensory neurons and then signals are communicated through the transmission of nerve impulses.
2. These Signals are then sent via spinal cord to the pineal gland .
3. The pineal gland then sends the signal to the cerebral cortex .
4. The Cerebral Cortex then sends signal to Frontal Lobes.
5. The Frontal Lobes sends signal to nervous system all over the body.

These are five steps how “LOVE” must proceed accordingly.

Note: The science have also proved that the heart also have 40,000. sensory neurons cell of its own. Source: Alshami A. M. (2019). Pain: Is It All in the Brain or the Heart?. Current pain and headache reports, 23(12), 88. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11916-019-0827-4

What role do parts play in generation of LOVE signal?

a. This pure LOVE must start from each person SUBCONSCIOUS.

Definition– Subconscious – defines all reactions and automatic actions we can become aware of if we think about them. For example, our ability to drive a car: once we get skilled we stop thinking which gears to use, which pedals to press, or which mirror to look at, yet can always become aware of what was done once we think about it. (source: https://imotions.com/blog/what-is-the-subconscious-mind/)

The LOVE signal produced through subconscious mind is the purest form because it would be free from any bias, external factor and part of your inner personality.

b. The pineal gland is the manager and powerhouse of brain power, signal, wave or vibration. In other words it is the subconscious power generator/supply house.

c. The Cerebral Cortex is a logic center for consciousness, thought, emotion, reasoning, language and memory.

d. Frontal Lobes is the center of action such as responsible for higher cognitive functions, memory, emotion, impulse action / control, problem solving , social interaction and motor functions .

All of the actions or none action.

After action or none action, comes the result to complete the circle of the word “LOVE“

The result must be ………………………………………

Make you happy and make other person or things that you act upon to be happy.

Make you progress and other / things be progress.

Make you and other person or thing to be success.

This is the “LOVE” in the name of the Noble Truth”

Again, expression of love is equally important. Some cultures promote people to express their true feeling of love to their family, spouse, children, neighbor, friends and all human beings. Some cultures consider open expression of love a taboo and make fun of those who do that.

For Example-

Giving a goodnight kiss to your kids before bed and expressing your love to them every night makes your kid understand you better and heart to heart connection.

Telling other person how much you trust them, how much you love them, how do you feel promotes a healthy relationship and strong bonding.

Kissing your spouse in front of family and hugging teaches your family that love is the central core of family, and it is not shameful to express it to the person, no matter where you are.

Thanking a friend for being there all the times; in happiness, in troubles, in chaos– to provide support would make other person feel the warmth of your heart.

Thanking god for the family you have in your life and how important each family member is in your life. And without them, you life would be empty.

Promoting/appreciating strengths of a person you love and guiding him/her to overcome weaknesses would bring happiness to their and your life.

Petting your dog/cat or any other pet to let them know how much you car about them.

Taking care of nature and organisms living in the nature shows you respect mother nature and believe that nature belongs to each species equally; be it plant or animal or insects.

Never hesitate to express the feeling of positive love to your spouse, family, kids, friends and those who you want to be successful in life.
