My DLS

The Deep Limbic System (DLS) is the part of the brain that;
  • sets the emotional tone of the mind
  • filters external events through internal states (emotional coloring)
  • tags events as internally important
  • stores highly charged emotional memories  
  • promotes bonding
  • modulates libido
I am the kind of person that refuses to discuss anything that my DLS is in control of. I refuse to say these thoughts out loud, because I want to protect the feelings of others, keep peace, or (most commonly) guard myself.

I recently read a memoir titled Border Passage. An Egyptian women details her life during a very revolutionary era for her country. As she writes, she begins to work through so many memories, old emotions, thoughts and past events, and in the process makes sense of her life and comes to terms with some unresolved problems. I want this blog to be my Border Passage.

That is all
