Cognitive Linguistic Framework

If one is separate from another and separate from the earth in which we dwell, one must think and follow any number of ideas in order to maintain the belief in separation. If one is separate from other, one is also separate from the body. This is where the separation between body and mind exists.

The body does not operate in separation from other. It is only the mind which operates in separation from other.

The energetic needs of a mind in separation are drawn from the body. The mind’s program of separation perpetuates a series of actions which may or may not serve the well-being of the body. The mind’s operation in separation to self is also the platform which empowers devastating acts toward fellow humans and earth.

The mind acting in isolation from the body induces a set of emotions which are separate from the body’s own emotional field. The energy for these emotions is drawn from the body’s own reserves. The emotions drawn from the body are often separate from one’s current reality. For example, the mind is capable of drawing emotions from the body related to events which have not transpired or events which are not currently transpiring. The body, meanwhile, is wired to respond to the present moment. The chasm between the mind’s programs and the body’s present reality, is identified in concepts such as guilt, debt, sin, separation, and cognitive dissonance.

The experience of cognitive dissonance is what empowers the mind to compel action in spite of pain or even death to one’s body. It is the mind which would believe itself in debt to some one or some thing; it is the mind which would compel actions from the body to satisfy the debt. This debt imposed by the mind is empowered by belief in logic. Logic is a mental construct empowered by the right angle of deduction, such as “if A, then B,” or induction, “if B, then A.” Ideas empowered by this framework have influenced human behavior for centuries.

Due to the nature of the mind operating in separation from the body, it is considered a closed system per the laws of thermodynamics. The mind is capable of generating energy via the construction of beliefs; that energy is then assumed by the body. The mind does not transfer actual matter to the body. Put another way, the mind does not compensate the body for its energetic requirements. The energetic toll exacted to the body from the mind is at times quite significant. The energetic toll is at its greatest when the action — including the processing of emotion — is at odds with the body’s core needs for survival. This is the basis for a system which would annhialate its own fuel supply just to take a final breath. A great example of this is deforestation.

Logic is a mental construct empowered by the ninety-degree angle of deduction, such as “if A, then B,” or induction, “if B, then A.” Ideas empowered by this framework have influenced human behavior for centuries.

Due to the nature of the mind operating in separation from the body, it is considered a closed system per the laws of thermodynamics. The mind is capable of organizing and generating energy via the construction of beliefs; that energy is then assumed by the body. Unlike an open system, the mind does not transfer matter to the body. Put another way, the mind does not compensate the body for its energetic requirements; rather, the mind operating in separation derives energy from the body. The energetic toll exacted to the body from the mind is at times quite significant. The energetic toll is at its greatest when the action — including the processing of emotion — is at odds with the body’s core needs for survival.

Currency and Time

Fascinatingly, the human mind operating in a program of separation is limited by the expression of time it creates. A mind running on a program of separation can only operate within a human body for a limited duration of time. This is due to the bodily energy required to run a program of separation, and the compounding nature of beliefs.

In computer science, linear time is defined as an algorithm’s execution time; execution time increases directly and proportionally with the size of the input data. A mind in separation which dictates actions for a body will always exist in an expression of linear time. Linear time is made possible through the mental construct of time expressed by the passing of time on a clock or calendar. Meanwhile, the body processes time as a factor of energetic function expressed via the magnetic field of the heart. The greater the chasm between one’s actual state of reality and one’s emotional state, the greater processing time — bodily energy — is required.

A heart beating on a metronomic rhythm is experienced during activition of the sympathetic nervous system, a bodily state associated with fear. This state of fear is traced to the nature of the mind’s relationships to self and other. A mind which operates in separation from self and separation from other induces the neurological state of fear, or fight-or-flight, we relate to the sympathetic nervous system. A naturally induced fear state recognized by the body — such as an immediate threat posed by the presence of a charging bull — invites action from the body’s primal response system; when the body acts to escape the bull, energy is discharged. In contrast, an algorithm continually run through the mind in order to justify an ongoing set of behaviors, often experiences no actual discharge of heat. The threat is constant. The algorithm is constant. The more reasons which are used to justify one’s behaviors, the greater processing time, or energy, is required.

“It is suggested that the body’s magnetic field, particularly the heart’s and brain’s, encode and transmit emotional information. Different emotional states generate distinct biomagnetic fields that may reflect the body’s metabolic state. Positive emotions (love, compassion, appreciation) generate coherent [heart rate variability (HRV)] patterns, radiating ordered electromagnetic signals, while negative emotions (fear, anger, anxiety) result in incoherent signals and energy loss. Among those, fear has the largest bio-field signature,” wrote Andreas Palantzas and Maria Anagnostouli in “The Heart’s Electromagnetic Field in Emotions, Empathy and Human Connection: Biosensor-Derived Insights into Heart–Brain Axis Mechanisms and a Basis for Novel BioMagnetoTherapies.” Biophysica, 2025.

The heart emits the strongest magnetic field in the body and can influence nearby nervous systems, resulting in heart-to-heart synchronization and physiological coupling, they wrote. Moreover, studies which measured brain and heart activity found that — just as one’s emotional state may affect one’s brain activity — the state of one’s heart can affect the brain of another, with or without direct contact. Exposure to the “electromagnetic equivalent” of emotional words can alter perception,” they wrote.

A human mind running in an emotional state of fear results in a predictable decline in human (and environmental) health. This predictable decline in human health has become synonymous with longevity projections and the typical human lifespan, though it leaves behind the idea that a body is capable of regenerating itself. Before we proceed further, it is worth noting the group nature of fear and its effect on our global system of relating. The global monetary system, which is rooted in the ipso facto notion of debt, is a reflection of an emotional state of fear. It is the emotional state of fear which operates hand-in-hand with the cognitive pattern of separation. Fascinatingly, the emotions invoked by a mind in separation and a mind in unity with the body are the same. It is the intention for feeling them which serves as a barometer for the degree of separation between body and mind.

If a body in a continual state of fear results in a predictable lifespan trajectory, what is it that reverses the effect of fear on the body? It is the mind’s evolutionary process into unity with the body. When the mind believes itself as one with the body, the mind is capable of believing itself as one with the human species as a whole, and with the earth in which it resides. It is only then when blocked energy, or heat in the example of thermodynamics, is released from the mind and processed through the body — without thought. The mind is thus capable of releasing the energetic build-up which leads to the simultaneous entropy of the mind and body.

The mind evolves into unity with the body through a process of separation from the mind’s program of division between self and other. The mind’s program of division between self and other is not governed in isolation by the idea of the self as a separate being. The mind’s program of division between self and other is also governed by the emotional state of debt, or guilt. When the mind believes itself to be in debt by virtue of its own mental constructs, emotional states are invoked within the body which operate independently of a body’s innate sensorial experiences of life. For example, one may spend hours commuting to and from an office, five days a week, for forty years, in anticipation of one day retiring. While the body may experience pain and suffering as a result of the routine imposed by the mind, the mind will override the pain of the body in anticipation of a future reward — such as a retirement spent traveling or lounging on a beach. This is the general idea utilized in the idea of debt and debt repayment. It is the mind’s idea that a circumstance which continually results in an unpleasant emotional state will one day pay off in the form of a return. Such ideas keep much of humanity in destructive relationship within self and in relationship with others. Unpleasant states are tolerated based on a mental construct implying a future reward.

The notion of return on investment is derived from the mind’s idea of guilt and atonement. This is the idea that atonement is a state reached through some form or repayment — such as suffering — for a perceived infraction. It is a highly addictive chemical state. This process often runs autonomously to the body’s actual physical process of wounding and healing. When these two processes merge, evolution takes place. This is the shift humanity is now moving through. It is necessarily an evolution of the mind in order for it — and the body in which it inhabits — to survive. Instead of seeking a logical reason for a given behavior, the mind surrenders to the wisdom of the body. The mind becomes responsive to the body and its needs.

In this case, environmentally, we would notice a patch of barren or polluted land and remediate it to life. Similarly in the body, we become responsive to how we actually feel in a given situation or relationship, and respond to that feeling. In both cases, new action is required. New action requires the release of old beliefs. The release of old beliefs requires a great deal of trust that a new way of being will bring safety and security. The release of old beliefs also requires one’s willingness and ability to process the emotion, or energetic frequency, held in the beliefs. One has to be willing to feel the energy held within a particular belief — even if it is great fear — without trying to solve it though the offering of another belief construct.

It is in fact the mental algorithm, or chain of belief constructs, that mirrors the chain of financial debts called derivatives. Fiat currency — currency backed by debt — is itself a derivative, as debt is a derivative. Like the example of a mind in separation which draws energy from the body it inhabits, a financial derivative is something which derives energy from something else. The global financial system made up of derivatives, is a closed system. All of the world’s derivatives are deriving energy from only two sources: humanity and earth. Vis-a-vis, like the example with logic, all of the world’s debts maintain relevance via the idea that truth, or value, exists within the construct. All of the world’s debts exist upon a single assumption. That assumption is that the debt holds value. In the midst of the 2008 financial crisis, a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) called Anthracite Capital suddenly filed for bankruptcy. It was the largest chapter 7 bankruptcy case in history. At the time, its investors believed it to hold a portfolio of commercial real estate worth USD 5bn, though its actual assets were twenty times smaller than that and estimated between USD 100m - USD 500m. Where did all of the assets go?

The assets were never there, to begin with. Though Anthracite Capital was a REIT created to hold real estate, what this meant was that it held a portfolio of future payments. Making matters more complicated, that portfolio of future investments had been sold to securities investors. The rights to service the investments, called servicing rights, had been pledged as assets in debt agreements to a handful of creditors. The REIT essentially held nothing at all, to the detriment of its shareholders; Anthracite’s publicly traded shares plummeted from a valuation as high as USD 800m in mid-2007 to USD 25m prior to bankruptcy, when the per-share price dropped to zero. This exemplifies how a chain of derivatives can all derive energy from a relatively small pool of expected future payments. Like cognitive debts which fuel patterns of behavior, all of these debts are considered valuable or true.

Cognitively, we are waiting for our ipso facto idea of debt-as-value to be affirmed by another. When the idea is not affirmed, a crash occurs. This crash can be avoided through the mind’s alignment with the body, and our system’s alignment with the health and well-being of humanity and earth. At the peak of debt valuation prior to the 2008 financial crisis, US debt outstanding hovered at USD 10trn. Now, in 2026, US debt is estimated at USD 39trn.
