–Q: CURT: “A DEFINITION OF MINDFULNESS?”–

The goal of parenting, counseling, therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, religion, and ritual is broadly aimed at producing psychological well-being, emotional balance, and self regulation resulting in conscious control of your reaction to internal and internal stimuli: “mindfulness”.

Mindfulness is defined as the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental and accepting manner. This involves being aware of and attentive to the present experiences, thoughts, emotions, and sensations without trying to alter or avoid them. This insulates the individual from internal neuroticism and impulse, and external signalling by others or the environment.

This allows people in increasingly populous societies, with increasing divisions of labor, and diverging status and class, to provide non reactive negative reinforcement to signals and manipulation and attempts at emotional coercion. The result is lower conflict at the minimum and higher trust in the optimum.

Religion was traditionally the means of producing mindfulness though the Greeks (stoicism) and the Chinese (Confucianism) produced philosophy, the ability and training required limited its utility to males and the upper half of the population. The original Buddhism and Chinese ritualism deliberately and directly trained mindfulness. Abrahamic religion added the lower classes, and Indic religions most interestingly essentially a sub religion for each caste.

Every civilization produced some form of mindfulness as the recovery from the Bronze Age collapse restored trade and contact, and made groups aware of their differences, which was compounded by the depersonalisation of money and credit.

If you augment ritual and mindfulness with moral lessons you produce subconscious indoctrination absent the burden and fragility of reason and memory. Add public ritual, feast, festival, and sanctity ( funerals) and you have the first normative form of institutionalisation of a group evolutionary strategy.

We talk about religion because we don’t comprehend it’s function rather than it’s feeling and practice – but the goal of the institutionalization of social cooperation is mindfulness. So far only the stoics have produced a non false religion.

Religion failed. Philosophy failed. Ideology tried to replace it and is presently failing.

As such, we see demand for a non false religion as we have ended our tolerance for false religions and failed to produce a substitute or to invest in universal stoicism or an equivalent.

And women as more neurotic (negative feelings) need it more so than men.

The evidence of the mental health catastrophe, collapse of sexual cooperation, radical division, and political collapse are all more so than not the failure to produce mindfulness in a population and the re-wilding of generations as the false promise of individualism in which we have no common interest replaced the family as the central institution of society, in which we all share common interest.
