Our Widgets In Relationship Storms

Our widgets are genetic and learned human traits that help our brains process. Ant and Bee, in the crows nest, help us see and interpret what is around us. Loving and empathetic Cuddles, in the front of the at, fearful Macho, in the back, help us sort out our emotions. The blue bird Geru adventures out to see and plan out our path. Patient Turtle steadies the boat while the team leader, Consciousness, helps out energetic Rabbit paddle us forward.

Our Upper Nature, 85%+, see’s reality more clearly than the Lower Nature, feels more empathy, thinks more clearly, and is more creative and active in building things that work for us. The Lower Nature is more primitive and tends more to lie, be greedy, blame, and be more destructive. They are in the same order, deceptive Spiedie, greedy Raccoon, blaming Crow, and aggressive Coyote. They are in the submarine windows with Dragon their mischievous gang leader.

The Lower Nature is fast so that if there is danger it can over ride the Upper Nature to save us. However, it can jump into actions from past dangers, that may no longer exist, and give us turmoil in others relationships that are really safe.

As we go through the hardships of life the Upper Nature tends to push on to the more calm and happy times. The Lower Nature tends to push further into the sub conscious storms of emotional turmoil creating more turmoil and drama.

When we stay in our survival mode it tends to get bigger and bigger until the Upper Nature can not maintain its journey towards peace and tranquility. The Lower Nature takes over and we dive deeper into despair.

Then our Upper Nature shrinks and our widgets of reality, empathy, beliefs, and actions give up and we go into a depression.

However, if we stay in our Upper Nature and meditate and enjoy nature, enjoy the company of loved ones, pray or practice ‘caring religions’, or do constructive social activities the Lower Nature shrinks and we have more free will.
