DESIGNER STATES #2

 

When you meta-state one state to another- you put the second state at a
higher (meta) position to the first and doing that positions it to become
the frame of the first, the category, the classification, and the governing
belief of the first.  Amazing, right?  It's amazing because now the
second-state textures or qualifies the first.  Now you can create all sorts
of designer states- customized just for the attitude and orientation that
you want. 

 
Joyful learning.                          Playful seriousness.      Curious
confusion.

 
Respectful anger.                      Mindful fear.
Compassionate sadness.

                                                                       Calm
frustration.                       Awe inspiring self-value. Humble
confidence.

 

And when you do this, you take charge of your states of mind-and-emotion so
that you can operate from the optimal state in whatever you are doing.
Sound interesting?  This is what you get when you learn the Meta-States
Model.  Here you build in the kind and quality of ecology so that your
states and attitudes truly serve you well, bring out your best, improve your
productivity, relationships, health, etc.  And yet when you do this- more is
happening.

 

Transcending and Including

What more is happening?  You are transcending your state, your primary level
which is comprised of all of your thoughts and feelings about something in
your world.  It is your first response (or reaction) to some trigger in your
environment.  We call that your primary state.  Here you are aware and
focused on some external trigger.  You fear driving fast, being closed in in
a small place, a harsh tone of voice and so on.  You get angry at violence,
insults, and threats to your way of life.  You delight in and enjoy the
beauty of a scene or a piece of music.

 

Next, you transcend that experience while at the same time including it as
you move up to your next thought-a higher level of thought about the first.
This creates a new level of organization -something higher that contains the
lower plus something else. 

In respect, considerate, and patient anger-you still have anger.  You still
feel the sense of threat or danger to your person or your way of life, yet
you have now textured the anger with another state so that something new has
emerged in you.  You have the anger state plus something a transcending
state (like respect, calmness, curiosity, etc.) so that you have a higher
quality of anger.  Perhaps you have a designer state of respectful anger.

It was Aristotle who long, long ago wrote: "All of the lower is in the
higher, but not all of the higher is in the lower."  So, while molecules
contain atoms, but atoms do not contain molecules.  When you move up the
levels of your mind, your higher level includes the lower and transcends it.
As you transcend the lower, you add new features, qualities, properties, and
characteristics to it.  You create customized designer states.  

When you use the Meta-States Model, you have the ability to engineer new
emergent properties into your states.  Talk about using the executive
functions of your brain and engage in a higher level of self-management!
Doing this can give you the key to "the structure of your subjective
experiences" as you make your experiences richer and more robust, as you
make them serve your highest goals, meanings, and values.

             When your learning is taken up into playfulness and
appreciation, when you engulf it with passion and the intention to improve
the quality of your life-something new emerges.  You have a passionate
learning state that's accelerated and exciting.  We call that a "genius"
learning state.

 

The Systemic Nature of Meta-States

You have now been introduced to the systemic nature of your meta-states.
Because you can take your thinking-feeling response and iterate it over and
over recursively, you can create not only beliefs, but belief systems.  And
when you do so, you establish higher level frames of mind that are so stable
that they can stay with you for a lifetime.  Further, given the nature of
beliefs as "self-fulfilling prophesies," you set up the higher beliefs as
self-organizing attractors in your mind-body system.  Thereafter, they seem
to have a life of their own- creating and recreating you in their image.
Since this systemic nature of your meta-states is so powerful, be very
careful about the belief systems that you construct.

 

Of course, that's the problem, isn't it?  You constructed many if not most
of your belief systems during your childhood when you were growing up.  And
unless you engage in specific cognitive make-overs -those childhood belief
systems are still running your programs.  They are your programs for how you
function.

 

Ready for a cognitive make-over?  One aspect of it is to create some
customized designer states for yourself so that you can operate from the
most optimal states in whatever you do.  Now that's a thought!
