Psychology Experiments Revealing How We Behave Given Stimuli

This is an informative video that gives insights into how we change behaviour based on stimuli.  There is a very interesting one based on detention.

The origin of psychology is survival it is adaptation to stimuli, it is fight or flight, it is sensing as ultimately we ensure our surival.  A very powerful motivator.  However, it is to be mindful of when psychology is utilised in service of manipulation to change behaviour in ways that benefit others not for the highest good.  For myself I am mindful about what I say and how that may impact.  Sometimes I leap and then think from spontaneity so I don’t think too much and then block my own expression (self censureship).  I practice living in authenticity both mindful and leaps of faith (go for it). Th latter is probably more fearless.   I live alone so I can see what is me and what is others.  I learn to flow with inner feeling rather than jumping to another’s tune that doesn’t resonate.  To know thyself and be true is the rhythm.  It is the song of harmony.  

Fear and greed have been the great motivators, it can be termed in this way ‘pleasure and pain’. We avoid pain and we enjoy pleasure.  Joy is different to pleasure in that it is to in-joy (inner joy) it means you are in alignment with inner truth, it comes up naturally.  Peace is another form of alignment, when there is no tension just an acceptance of ‘what is’.  Imagine if we could feel peace no matter the story.

So let’s investigate psychology and how we conform, rebel, divide, unite, obey and so on all on the basis of perceptions.
