The Neuroscience of Romanticized Love ? Part 2: Either-Or Thinking ...
The selling of ideals for romantic love is a multibillion-dollar industry. While these notions contain elements of authentic love, they largely consist of myths, social order politics, and certain either-or thinking patterns known to jam the brain and body?s communication network.
Why the paralyzing effect?
Simply put, this thinking has attributes of belief systems known to jam the reflective thinking processes of the human brain with ? fear.?Only fear can paralyze the otherwise remarkable abilities of the human brain to reflectively think, learn, understand, empathize, thus, help partners form vibrant, mutually enriching couple relationships.
At best,?romanticized ideals, a phenomenon peculiar to the West, form a system of unrealistic expectations that lead single and married partners alike ? to look for love where it cannot be found.
The role of language and the ?power of the pen??
In romanticized love, this system of either-or thinking tells men and women that they are from different planets, with different purposes, yearnings and emotions, and even worse, that their self-worth depends on how closely they conform to these standards.
In essence, for centuries philosophy, religion, and other political institutions have worked together, wittingly or unwittingly, to interpret physical differences between men and women into laws that legalized ideals for dominance, might makes right, survival of the fittest, and hierarchical values in general.
With hierarchical values in mind, the power of the pen, and the use of language accordingly, have played powerful roles in crafting ?masculine? and ?feminine? ideals. Overall, we?ve been culturally conditioned at home, school, work, etc., to use these either-or ?shoulds? and dichotomous labels to judge ourselves, our partner, and men and women in general, for example, as either:
- Rational or irrational
- Powerful or powerless
- Strong or weak
- Emotional or emotionally detached
- Dependent or independent
- Deserving or undeserving
- Perfect or flawed
- Loved or unloved
It?s limiting to define what emotional states men and women ?should? express. In truth, all of these attributes are normal to human experience. Such labels have the power, however, to effectively turn male and female relations into a competition for dominance.
Men are particularly tuned into hierarchically positioning, as they have been taught (warned) from boyhood that their self-worth as men (human beings) depends on ?proof? of dominance and ?power over? women (and children, weak men, etc.). Recent studies, for example, found?bullying behaviors between males are socially approved strategies in which males establish dominance.
Beliefs are life shaping.
It may seem as if persons or events around us cause the upsetting feelings we feel, however, events are only the triggers. Our response depends on our perceptions ? our core beliefs ??what we tell ourselves about events we experience.
Our?subconscious mind, the part that runs the body, depends on them to know how to ?interpret? events. When partners interact, for example, their subconscious minds check on their beliefs to determine what overall emotional state to activate when interpreting what they say or do (sensory data) ? and there are to primary options, either the brain?s ?learning mode? (state of safety and love) or ?protective? mode (state of fear).
What we believe about an event tells our brain?s operating system, the subconscious mind, how to handle it, more specifically, whether to remain in a ?learning? mode (parasympathetic nervous system) or to activate the body?s ?protective? mode (sympathetic nervous system), also called the ?fight or flee? response.
Examples of these either-or beliefs?
No matter how you slice it, a value system that emphasizes hierarchy imposes a worldview in which human relationships are experienced in terms of positional stances of either: top-dog or under-dog.
These romanticized ideals:
- Emphasize obedience to authority and win-lose competitions.
- Define power in ?zero-sum? and ?power-over? terms.
- Associate the ability to exert ?power over? with status, strength, men, authority.
- View battles,?differences and power imbalances between men and women as inevitable.
- Define ?listening to? or ?respecting? the other as ?doing what told,? in short, obedience.
- Teach that love, self-worth, acceptance, respect are earned based on performance.
- Judge performance on the basis of conformity to external expectations or standards.
- View mistakes as defects, failures or willful disrespect or disobedience.
- Control behavior with external rewards and punishments.
- Legitimize use of physical violence, force and/or emotional manipulation tactics (fear, shame, guilt).
- Teach us to judge self and others by making comparisons.
- Associate emotions of vulnerability with weakness, emotionality, women, children, etc.
- Associate emotions of anger with strength, power to make things happen, men, authority, status.
- Relegate emotions of caring, nurturance, love, affection, etc., to secondary status.
We use these standards, subconsciously for the most part, to continuously judge (shame) ourselves (i.e., self-talk), or those around us, as either deserving or undeserving of love. Regardless whether those victimized are young or old, male or female, at home or work, it is a belief system that underlies both what is now socially condemned as?bullying on the one hand, yet, on the other hand, has been a culturally endorsed ?might makes right? value system in the West for ages.
In contrast, partnership values define ?power? as a choice. Power is as power does, and power can be a conscious choice to enrich life, work cooperatively together, empower the best in life and one another. When men and women are free to respond in caring ways that release oxytocin into their bloodstream, they feel ?safe? with one another, thus, safe enough to give and receive love.
Why the relationship between men and women matters?
According to Riane Eisler?s seminal work, The Chalice and the Blade, how a society structures relations between men and women is a critical component that forms the basis for all aspects of society, family, school, church, government, politics and so on.
Hierarchical values are associated with either-or thinking patterns, not unlike group-think or thought control methods, in that they:
- Impose contradictory demands on the brain that can ? and do ? cause men and women to relate to one another, without their conscious awareness, primarily out of fear.
- Activate the brain?s ?fight or flee? system during problem solving ? thus, when they most need their reflective thinking skills, they are not available;?they react defensively instead.
- Interfere with the formation of emotional intimacy in the couple relationship, as well as each partner?s personal growth and well-being.
- Train the brain to adopt limiting thinking patterns that require men and women, in different ways, to shut down their awareness of what they each emotionally need, and have the power to realize, as human beings, and that is ? to meaningfully connect and feel valued in relation to one another.
Noting the brain is a relationship organ, these beliefs about what it means to be a ?real? man and a ?good? woman in a committed love relationship are what keep the brain in survival mode and block partners from fulfilling key strivings in life.
Romanticized ideals leave men and women at cross-purposes, holding onto static images of themselves and one another. For example:
- Once the ?in love? phase ends and the ?power struggle? phase starts, partners start to form ?enemy? images of one another in their heads, each blaming the other for their own unfulfilled expectations.
- Whether they express disappointments openly or silently, their thinking forms inner pools of resentment.
- Each is unaware that their suffering and addictive relating patterns are largely, if not solely, a result of the limiting beliefs they hold.
- To cope, they stay in comfort zones entirely of their own making ? and when they try to achieve their goals, these negative images and pre-conditioned comfort zones always block their well-intended efforts.
- These limiting images, thoughts and beliefs make life seem like an ordeal; meanwhile, the futile attempts they use to get the love and relationship they want are about as effective as taking a shower wearing a raincoat.
Defensive strategies are effective in dealing with real threats and crises. By design, they help to distance us from a perceived threat.
In relational contexts, however, they are most often problematic. When partners are on the defensive during conflict, they automatically, at subconscious levels, view one another?s ideas, thoughts, perspectives, actions, etc., as ?threats.? As a result, they use words and nonverbal gestures that instill their partner with fear, shame and guilt ? all the while hoping to get a response of love and recognition in return!
What are the chances, however, that their tactics of fear, shame or guilt will succeed in getting the love they want? Zero to null.
In contrast successful couples, on the other hand, continually breakthrough barriers to consciously get comfortable with the uncomfortable, manage their fears, not by using tactics of force or emotional manipulation, but by replacing fear-based beliefs and images they have of themselves, one another, and their relationship with life-enriching ones. ?It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent,? Charles Dawin pointed out, ?but the one most responsive to change.?
What makes either-or thinking harmful?
Safe to say, an either-or view of love relationships hits the brain?s circuitry like a ton of bricks. This thinking pattern forms a black-and-white worldview of men, women, and their relationships, that is replete with fear-inducing ?shoulds? of what ?has to? happen ? or else.
Unquestionably, as human beings, we are well designed to handle stress. It is a matter of understanding when either-or thinking is useful to us and when it is not.
For example:
- Either-or thinking is useful to us in crisis situations, such as seeing a snake on our path or waking up on a work day to find our alarm clock didn?t ring.
- The hormones released in crisis situations, such as the stress hormone cortisol or adrenaline, help us deal more effectively with the situation at hand; in this case, we can avoid a snake bite or the risk of losing a job.
- Our body is not designed to live in constant fear or alert mode, however; the sympathetic nervous system does not have time to make repairs and restore balance in the energies of the body.
- As a result, overtime the stress of this type of thinking on the body wears down its systems and can cause illness.
When a snake startles us, either-or thinking associated with the body?s ?fight or flee? response works best to ensure our safety. In cases where we feel anxious about taking an exam, or discussing a sensitive issue with our partner, however,?low levels of fear and anxiety optimize our performance. We just need to know how to regulate our fear response, in other words, how to calm our mind and body in challenging situations, to prevent the activation of its fight or flee? system.
While hierarchy may work in military structures for the purpose of defense, in human brain and body terms, either-or thinking keeps the brain?s ?fight or flee? system on alert, thus, it promotes unhealthy conditions for the physical body as well as for an intimate relationship. Studies show?bullying produces chronic stress, elevations in the body?s cortisol response, and lifelong physical and physiological effects.
It?s simply not how the brain, ?a relationship organ? based on the latest neuroscience findings, is designed to work.
Humans are paradoxical both-and beings.
Life and relationship issues cannot be solved by either-or thinking.?As paradoxical beings, we are both-and rather than either-or.
- We yearn to be recognized as unique individuals, yet we also yearn for shared connection.
- We aspire to meaningfully contribute, yet our hearts are warmed when someone gives us a helping hand.
- We are insatiably curious, wanting to learn all about the world around us, yet our most essential connection to understanding our self and world is within ? life is an inside job.
Equally important, we depend on both-and reflective thinking processes to inform our understanding of life and relationships.
- Either-or thinking, when it comes to solving relationship issues, shuts down our ?brain?s amazing capacity for both-and possibility thinking.
- For example, it is limiting to think of our self as either dependent nor independent, and rather healthier to find balance in experiencing (and developing) both in relation to others.
Hierarchical relationships, by definition, are a defense against emotional intimacy. In partnership relationships, power is a choice to empower emotionally healthy intimate relationships.
- Power is a multi-dimensional concept.
- Ultimately, it is a choice in how we relate to self and others that can produce dramatically different outcomes.
- For example, what is power in one situation, i.e., lifting heavy objects, is not power in another, i.e., facing a fear of rejection or loss of self.
Life is about finding balance, not unlike walking a tightrope, a process that grows us personally and relationally.?We are strongest when we find balance in connecting to both our capacity for strength and resiliency yet also our ability to?empathically feel our emotions of vulnerability without reacting defensively.
If you find yourself replaying old scripts in your life or love relationship, or repeating the same lines and the same outcome of not getting what you want, there is hope. Thanks to the plasticity of your brain, it?s never too late to learn how to break free of this downward spiral thinking.
In relationship contexts, either-or thinking supports a hierarchical value system that keeps the brain in survival mode, promotes unhealthy conditions for the body and blocks the formation of emotional bonding in intimate relationships.
The answers to questions of what it means to be a man or a woman, what it means to be emotionally or sexually intimate should not imprison partners in the confines of their minds with addictive relating and love addiction patterns ? and rather personally free partners and both sexes to relate in humanizing ways.

SPDC declares force majeure on Nigeria?s Bonny oil
LAGOS? -? Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC) has declared force majeure on Bonny Light loadings for June and July 2011. The declaration is as a result of production cutbacks caused by leaks and fires which occurred last week on the Trans Niger Pipeline (TNP).
Joint Investigation visits comprising government agencies, communities and SPDC found that the incidents were caused by hacksaw cuts which indicate third party interference and activities of unknown persons.
The leaks have been repaired leading to resumption of production at the weekend. The TNP which transports production from SPDC and third parties in its Eastern operations to Bonny Terminal, was affected by leaks and five separate fire incidents on both the 24? and 28? lines in Bodo, Bera, Biera and Mogho all in Ogoni land, on June 9.
SPDC immediately shut the lines, mobilised its pipelines response and fire fighting teams and extinguished the fires by June 11.
Contacted, Shell Nigeria?s Media Manager, Mr Tony Okonedo, declined comments on affected volume, noting that the important point to note is that the fires had been put out, no lives were lost and normalcy restored. He admitted that the fires and leaks were caused by sabotage.
Comments are moderated. Please keep them clean and brief.

Updated: Windows 8 tablets: what you need to know

CNETAnalysis: Microsoft?s been pushing tablet computers for the best part of a decade, so you can imagine how happy the iPad?s success makes them. But Microsoft doesn?t give up easily, and Windows 8 tablets will emerge. So what?s Steve Ballmer going to be shouting about when he shows them off? Windows 8 tablets will have a new touch interface As we saw from the recent Windows 8 preview , Windows 8 tablets will have a marvellous new interface that looks rather like Windows Phone 7. ?Fast, fluid and dynamic, the experience has been transformed while keeping the power, flexibility and connectivity of Windows intact,? says Microsoft?s head of Windows Experience Julie Larson-Green. ?Although the new user interface is designed and optimized for touch, it works equally well with a mouse and keyboard. Our approach means no compromises ? you get to use whatever kind of device you prefer, with peripherals you choose, to run the apps you love. This is sure to inspire a new generation of hardware and software development, improving the experience for PC users around the world.? Windows 8 tablets? release date In December 2011, the New York Times wrote that Microsoft would unveil tablets running Windows 8 at CES 2011 in January , which proved to be incorrect. The NYT credited an unnamed source for the leak, which suggests that Microsoft?s keynote will be enlivened by the arrival of the next generation of Windows, as well as Samsung and Dell tablets. As it turned out, no Windows 8 tablets were shown at the show. However, the Windows 8 release date may be sooner than you think. Speculation is rife that a Windows 8 beta will surface at PDC , a developer conference being held by Microsoft in September 2011. The dates for the conference were announced by Microsoft at its MIX event on 12 April 2011. That means Windows 8 tablets could be out by early 2012 ? after CES 201! 2. Accor ding to Bloomberg there will be no Windows for tablets until 2012. As we reported on 4 March 2011 , sources told Bloomberg that a tablet-friendly version of Windows will be tested at the end of this year and not released until the summer of 2012. Microsoft may launch its own Windows 8 tablet New rumours suggest that Microsoft is working on an own-brand tablet to launch running Windows 8 . The speculation comes from Taipei, with sources claiming that the tablet will make use of a Texas Instruments chip and will launch by the end of 2012. Digitimes, which first published the rumour, claims its sources say that Microsoft is also looking to launch a tablet brand, as it did in gaming with the Xbox. Windows 8 tablets manufacturers It?s no surprise to see the names Dell and Samsung in the NYT piece: both firms have close relationships with Microsoft, although it?s interesting to see Microsoft getting groovy with an Android tablet manufacturer. We?d expect to see something like the leaked ? Lap PC ? from HP too. UPDATE: On 9 May 2011, we reported on a rumour of a forthcoming Nokia Windows 8 tablet . The info comes from phone commentator Eldar Murtazin, who wrote on the Mobile Review forum that Nokia will launch a tablet in 2012, possibly pushed back to 2013. Windows 8 tablets will probably look like iPads While Dell makes some unusually shaped tablets already, the Samsung tablet is ?similar in size and shape to the Apple iPad, although it is not as thin.? Unlike the iPad, ?it also includes a unique and slick keyboard that slides out from below for easy typing.? Windows 8 tablets will be designed for business use ?The company believes there is a huge market for business people who want to enjoy a slate for reading newspapers and magazines and then work on Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint while doing work,? the NYT says, quoting the inevitable ?person familiar with the company?s tablet plans?. Windows 8 tablets will have apps an! d an app store Apps are a big part of Windows 8 , with Microsoft convinced that ?app development will move to the web? and building a Windows Store with manufacturer-specific entrances. Again, we saw a lot more detail on this from the Windows 8 preview . Windows 8 tablet specifications aren?t strange or startling We?d expect Windows 8 tablets to have similar specifications to other iPad rivals such as the Galaxy Tab or BlackBerry Playbook , essentially netbooks in a different form factor: a gigahertz processor, a gigabyte of RAM, 802.11b/g/n wireless and multitouch capacitive displays. Expect lots of connectivity too, with USB ports a key selling point. Windows 8 tablets will run on ARM, Intel and AMD chips On 18 May 2011, Intel confirmed that there will be separate editions of Windows 8 that run on ARM processors as well as standard x86 processors from Intel and AMD ? all companies involved are serious about tablets, though ARM has stolen a lead; all major tablets on the market are ARM-based. The x86 versions of Windows 8 will feature a Windows 7 compatibility mode, while ARM versions won?t. Windows 8 tablet prices should be similar to Android ones Windows 8 tablets will be up against iPads, Android tablets and Chrome OS netbooks, so if they?re not priced very aggressively they?re going to be a tough sell.

Richmond family loses home in fire
A Richmond family is without a home today after a fire tore through it last night. Family members say in the middle of the commotion they couldn't find each other and they feared the worst.
"I thought my dad was in there and I thought he was burning up," says Jacob Callahan.
Jacob was at a neighbor's house when the fire erupted around midnight last night. His first thought was that his dad, Jeff, was in danger.
"I was trying to go in there, but some people were trying to stop me," says Jacob.
Lucinda Lewis lives nearby and describes the horrific scene as she tried to comfort Jacob.
"It just went up in flames like it just exploded. He kept saying 'My daddy, my daddy!' I just told him 'It's OK, baby'," says Lewis.
Jacob got word that his father was at another neighbor's home and ran to tell him what was happening. He says he felt a huge relief when he found his dad safe and sound.
"I went up there and hugged him. I thought he was dead. It was alright after I knew my dad was fine. That's all I care about, really," says Jacob.
Jeff Callahan says when his son told him the news, there wasn't much he could do.
"I just sat back and watched it. Sat around and tried to hide my tears. I didn't want people seeing it, but I guess anybody else would too," he says.
Jeff Callahan says his family will be put up in a hotel for the next few days. Fire investigators haven't said what caused the fire.

In most cases you will find unlimited amounts of New! ZF 90lbs Weighted Vest (Weights Included.One Size Fits All.) assessments some standard a few introduced by trainers or even instructors for any specific objective; nonetheless they all do exactly the same thing. They give set up a baseline on the regular of fitness1 an individual has and additional tests evaluate improvement.
Most common fitness9 assessments include the following primary places
Strength
Speed
Suppleness
Stamina
Don?t worry about the ins and outs from the make sure the actual why all we have to understand is the fact that it is a way of screening and evaluating the progress with regards to the program.

Exploded Star's Guts Shining Bright Again, Photo Shows (SPACE.com)
The glowing entrails of an exploding star, thought to have faded over time, now appear to be lighting up again, a new Hubble Space Telescope photo reveals.
NASA released the new Hubble image of the well-known star explosion, called Supernova 1987A, today (June 10). The photo shows the closest supernova explosion witnessed in almost 400 years. This has allowed astronomers to study it in unprecedented detail as the outburst evolves.
In the latest study of Supernova 1987A a team of astronomers announced that the debris from the explosion that had faded over the years is brightening. This suggests that the star explosion, which is located 165,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (a close neighbor of our own Milky Way galaxy), ?is turning into a so-called supernova remnant. [See Hubble's new photo of Supernova 1987A]
The research is detailed in the June 9 edition of the journal Nature.
Supernovas typically transition into remnants when the exploded material starts to fade, but the brightness increases due to interactions between the debris cloud and surrounding gas. This cosmic shift is usually difficult for astronomers to study, but due to the relatively close proximity of the Large Magellanic Cloud, astronomers have been able to make detailed observations of Supernova 1987A periodically from 1994 to 2009.
"Supernova 1987A has become the youngest supernova remnant visible to us," said Robert Kirshner of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. "It's only possible to see this brightening because SN 1987A is so close and Hubble has such sharp vision."
Kirshner leads a long-term study of SN 1987A using the Hubble Space Telescope. Since its launch in 1990, Hubble has provided a continuous record of the changes in the supernova.
In the new Hubble image, SN 1987A is surrounded by a ring of material that blew off the star thousands of years before it exploded. The ring extends about one light-year (about 6 trillion miles or 9.5 trillion km) across. Inside that ring, the star's guts are rushing outward in an expanding debris cloud.
Most of the light from the supernova comes from radioactive decay of elements that were created in the explosion. This light fades over time, but the brightening of SN 1987A's debris suggests that a new power source is lighting it.
The debris of 1987A is beginning to impact the surrounding ring, which is creating powerful shock waves that produce X-rays that can be observed by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Those X-rays are illuminating the supernova debris and the heated shock waves are making it glow. This same process powers well-known supernova remnants in our own galaxy, like Cassiopeia A.
Furthermore, since SN 1987A is still young, astronomers can study the remnants of the explosion to decode its history.
Eventually, that history will be lost when the bulk of the expanding stellar debris impacts the surrounding ring and shreds it, researchers said. But, until then, SN 1987A offers astronomers the opportunity to watch as a supernova changes, they added.
