What is it that drives you? What are you seeking, and hoping to find? Redemption or Salvation?

“Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions. ― Elizabeth Gilbert

Welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today I would like to talk about “The Cyclic Rise of Emotionalism” and how this relates to Redemption and Salvation. And without getting too bogged down in the psychology of the mind I will simplify this concept by saying that the spiritual movement attracts two basic types of seekers.

Those seeking Redemption or Salvation; and the first type, which is the one I will discuss in this podcast are those seeking redemption.

The redemption seeker is an individual that either wants that personal emotional high that comes from the feeling of being saved, or are seeking an emotional way to erase their fears or even their past, and replace these fears with the good feeling of being personally redeemed.

You could even say that what they want is for someone to give them a happy ending without the effort, whether that someone is a charismatic leader or a God.

If we were to analyze this from the evolutionary behaviorist perspective, then you would instead say that what they are subconsciously seeking is to worship the alpha archetype, and that this is an evolutionary tribal response that is triggered by the thrill of the emotional experience, a state where there is no conscious thought or choice, there is only the crowd reacting emotionally.

If this topic is new to you and you need clarification, please listen to the podcast until the end and you can ask me questions in the comments.
