How Can’t I Be More Logical–Or How Can I Be Less Emotional?

Why Can’t I Be More Logical…Or How Can I Be Less Emotional?

If you’re asking yourself these questions, the truth is you’re missing the real point—and not because you should know otherwise, but because if you’re not taught the words to ask the right questions, it’s pretty much for sure you won’t be downloading the right answers.

Let’s break it down.

Why Can’t I Be More Logical?

Although I was seemingly forgiven my emotional personality to a point because I was the “artistic one” in my family, it was near impossible to feel accepted or understood. Apparently, I’d popped out of the womb missing the logic gene, the one that would keep me on the straight and narrow. Keep me from making monumental mistakes in judgment. Keep me achieving and meeting the expectations of a very high-expectation family.

Oh, what I would have done to feel less. To borrow even an iota of my older sister’s logical genes that helped her breeze through school and into a career in science. I could not have been less interested or less talented. It was all, as they say, Greek to me.

As were the socially acceptable mores like looking like other people, acting like other people, feeling like other people, and simply being like other people.

Who WAS I? Where did I come from? I had my grandmother’s hourglass figure and my father’s eyes, so I was pretty sure I’d come by them in the regular way, so why did I feel like a stranger in an even stranger land? Why was it so important to everyone that I be more logical, be less emotional, and adapt to their comfort zone of a regulatory life?

We learn early on not to be who we are.

As HSPs, we take it personally. And the only way to change the channel on our own self-imposed prison of not enough, less than, and if only I could be is to change our definition of logic.

Say you’re a scientist (like my sister). My sister toils in her research laboratory every day to find a cure for a debilitating disease as she has since she was in her early 20s. She works with theories, logic, and proof. She attributes her ideas to her mind. “I have a brain. The brain communicates with my mind. My mind comes up with ideas.”

Okay…but, really?

Can you really tell me where your ideas come from? That even though you and someone else might read, research, study, develop, and access similarly, there’s a great possibility you’ll come up with different ideas to address the issue? I mean, that’s what makes the world go around—the power of creative thinking.

All I ask is that we stop insisting on calling things one thing when they might be another. That we stop having the need to categorize, belittle, diminish, and label that which no one truly understands.

We don’t need to understand where our ideas come from, even if we’d like to. Ideas are part of the intuitively logical part of us where the spark is generated, the fire ignited, and the magic happens.

Here’s the bottom line.

Intuitive Logic is the core foundation of such an energetic pulse. It’s the logical approach to knowing who you are based not on what other people have proven, but how you feel energetically. We could really use a word that describes how things feel energetically without using the word “feel.” Feelings imply emotion, emotional context, and emotional content. Sensations imply somatic sensation in the body. But we need a word (suggestions appreciated) that perfectly encapsulates the processing of energy while incorporating the mind’s machinations, the body’s responses, and the spirit’s recognition of truth.

Don’t underestimate, undervalue, or underappreciate the way your processing mechanism. Spend your energy tuning into it, learning about how it functions, developing its abilities. In the end, whether you’re a scientist, a mathematician, a Reiki master, or a psychic, it’s not about emotion, it’s about discovering how your Intuitive Logic can serve you best.
