Nassim Haramein appears briefly in E-Motion, an important film which intends to demystify the dynamics of how our emotions are at once both the key to living our dreams in this lifetime and also at the root of how we get stuck and blocked. Have you ever felt stuck or blocked in your life? Yeah, me neither. But hey, let’s check out what they have to say anyhow, you know, for curiosity’s sake, and see what imagery Nassim contributes to the collage.
E-Motion: The Basics
The story of our emotions is that in your past, if you experienced a powerful negative emotion that is overwhelming, then you may have tried to protect yourself by blocking it out. When this happens, rather than resolving the emotion, what we do is fragment ourselves and store that memory with all the emotional energy somewhere in the subconscious mind. Oh, and did you know that 95% of your mind is subconscious? That’s what the folks on the video say, and also that the body itself is the subconscious mind (or at least part of the subconscious mind).
Think about all that your body does to keep itself alive. Are you doing that? Are you remembering to beat your heart, inhale and exhale your lungs, and do the trillions of other things that go on to keep the drama we call the self “functional”? That’s why they say the body is the subconscious mind.
So the body becomes a warehouse of repressed emotions. If we visualize this, these emotions are usually concentrated in different places of the body, in spherical forms ranging from the size of a baseball to a cantaloupe. Repressed emotions have been given a very important function to play in our lives–to provide chaos and disharmony to the energy field of the body as a means of disrupting our programs so we may pay attention to whatever is going on inside and get on with figuring out who we really are.
E-Motion suggests many methods for accessing these emotional imprints, ranging from various forms of energy work, mindfulness practices, something that sounds pretty cool called “The Wonder Method”, and simple methods of hacking your neural circuitry through techniques such as tapping the body or running a magnet over the central meridian on the top of the head. Basically the goal is to allow the emotion to fully appear so it can be fully felt, and then to let that baby go. If you like the imagery of computers and programming, then what we’re doing here is clearing our operating system of old programs that eat up the memory of the computer so that we may run new programs.
It is only when we have cleared those energy drainers can we stop organizing our lives around creating circumstances to re-experience the emotions. The intuitive intelligence of the body-mind is relentless–it will force the issue for us if we do not consciously endeavor to heal.
Listen to Nassim
So what does Nassim have to do with this? Near the beginning he chimes in on how his studies show him that within every proton is the information of every other proton of the universe. This is the holographic
universe–the all is in the one. Tangentially, the experts in the film also refer to emotions as containing “information” that is rooted in molecular and even subatomic levels. When we allow ourselves to heal from what we carry, the entire universe shifts. We lighten the load for everyone. Sometimes it’s cliche to say “we’re all in this together,” but the scientists and mystics are both pushing this idea, that everything you feel is contained within everything that I am.
Near the end, Nassim reappears to mention that he knows that looking within is the key to understanding who we truly are. As the mystics, poets, and prophets since antiquity, this is again the threshold we find ourselves at. Toe to toe with what I don’t know. Ever ready to traverse past the liminal zone of the mind, in darkness new adventures the seeker shall find. Like the star of supernova, we may only ever end as a field of new possibility.
The Role Playing Game
As a lover of adventure games, I like to think of the inside realm as a mythological role playing game. We are called toward the center, the point of infinite love and light, but along the way we must face down guardians that stand between us and the goal. These projections of interiorized turmoil emerge when we’ve reached the point of critical growth on whichever level we are on. We must apply our skills and attributes to stand firm, finding rootedness in the Earth, support from our tribe, and trust in self.
Then, when we stand against our “demons”, we may find their outward appearances are only guises. When we enter the arena to dance, tumble, rage, cry, laugh, and cast our magic and alchemy, we may find that we are merging with the energies of that which we once resisted, and within the struggle is a medicine that spreads through the heart-center and to any where needing healing. Where once was restriction and resistance now flows a tender warmth tinged with tears of joy.
As we progress through the labyrinth re-assimilating the energies of our once fragmented souls, the pull to the center only grows stronger. Is it ever complete? In not knowing we continue like heart warriors, vowing to face the fullness of experience with a presence that does not discriminate.
As Chogyam Trungpa says in his classic work Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior,
“when a human being first gives birth to the tender heart of warriorship he or she may feel extremely awkward or uncertain about how to relate to this kind of fearlessness. But then, as you experience this sadness more and more, you realize that human beings should be tender and open. So you no longer need to feel shy or embarrassed about being gentle. In fact, your softness begins to become passionate. You would like to extend yourself to others and communicate with them. When tenderness evolves in that direction, then you can truly appreciate the world around you.”
