Biocognitive Reflections

Upcoming Live Inquiry: Loving as if Immortal

Join me for a live exploration of love, duration, aging, and the cultural beliefs that shape our experience of connection.

This Episode: Existential elegance is the quality of being graceful, discerning, noble, and dignified in times of rejection perpetrated by those we chose to trust. This pristine elegance is the most powerful antidote to unrequited love.

Although the construct of willpower has been studied extensively, recent meta-analysis research show there's no credible evidence for so called willpower. In this audio I propose, personal agency is what moves us to enact or reject an option. I also explain what I consider are the three components of agency and how to cultivate them.

When a relationship ends without your choice, there's a sense of helplessness created by the loss. In this audio lesson I explain how to move forward in your journey more empowered and with greater understanding of the constituents of a good relationship. Enjoy...

On the personal journey of self, comes a time for the outlier to leave the tribe. Here we discuss the archetypal process and potential threats when we decide to go beyond the known and individuate.

Before there was language and grammar, we had emotions with their biological associations, some were to be expressed to others, that we now call transitive verbs, and others did not have an object to receive the action (intransitive verbs). In this lesson I explain why it's important to be coherent with what you feel and how you express it and live it. Feel free if you want to donate to this channel to help maintain the work I share here. If not, just enjoy.

In this recording I explain the difference between disclosing, confessing, and living your personal truth. You will find profound freedom, once you explore who you really are, free of cultural admonitions. Recall your pristine Self and thrive.

Thank you to Dr. Robert Rodgers at Parkinsons Recovery for this interview.

Dr. Mario E. Martinez, a clinical neuropsychologist, established the Biocognitive Science Institute™ in 1998. He developed a theory of mindbodyculture he calls Biocognition to suggests how cognition and biology coemerge with their cultural history in a bioinformational field that seeks maximum contextual relevance.

Mario Martinez's theory of biocognitive science proposes that the brain learns to interpret symbols and their biological correlates from cultural contexts. He is the proponent of cultural psychoneuroimmunology (how cultural beliefs affect the regulation of nervous, immune, and endocrine systems). The plasticity of our brain allows for reversals of dysfunctional behavior learned from the cultural reality we weave to perceive our world.

This conversation is all about archetypes from a biocognitive lens for you to:

Our brain projects time and space based on our experiences. What we see unfolding with people that are important in our lives is archived to later replicate. This can be good or it can be very devastating because you will be superimposing how to experience what you learned by observing others in situations from the past. For example, if you see your parents aging at a particular rate, you will be storing the information on how your aging should unfold. In this audio, I explain the process and give you alternatives to deal with the time when you reach turbulence at the edge of horizons.
