DISLOCATION

I'm working out some thoughts for a paper I'm writing. Please give me some input.



A clear and present danger exists when a man is bound by external stimuli. By external stimuli I mean any stimuli that produce a perceived sated sense of the Will, Emotion or Intellect that usurps the necessary and God-given stimuli. Whereas God's means of stimuli always involves a measure of grace designed to produce efficacious results, corrupt external stimuli produce only transient delight that does much harm when substituted as a means to an end – namely gratification. Gratification, when accomplished through God-given means is normally sensed through the awareness of unity – or better yet – oneness. Oneness of Will, Emotion and intellect bound together by the realized influence of the Holy Spirit. Whereas the internal stimulus of grace is always a unifier, conversely, corrupt external stimuli always bring division and are a predisposition to dislocation. The clear danger is that as division occurs, without proper inhibition, weakness ensues. As resources are depleted – normally Emotive/Intellectual – the critical juncture of dislocation occurs when the need/desire for increased stimuli reach the stage where the Will can no longer abide the trade-off. The guided Will (Spirit/spirit) rejects the insistence for more of the bankrupt stimuli – thereby overriding the demands of the Emotive/Intellect – and a division of cognitive process is transferred. It is at this critical progression point that the guided Will is no longer cooperating with the (human) Intellect or Emotive process. The Will has recognized the diminished cognitive capacity of the Emotive/Intellect only because it is guided by the indwelling Holy Spirit. The Emotive process, being passive, has failed simply because the strong and alluring directives brought about by the corrupt external stimuli have been rejected. The diminished capacity of the Intellect is more complex. The strong corrupt external stimuli – through repeated ingress – have caused a doping effect. Chemicals released by the brain find their receptors more easily with each new occurrence and form well-built neural pathways. Initial “mimicked” event responses now seem in fact to be true event responses. The present danger now is that the Intellect is unable to deflect the linear digression of thought, if in fact it can even be called a thought process. It now seems that the Intellect is almost functioning as instinct – unable to make appropriate choices – having been weakened by the apparent dislocation from the guided Will. At this point it must become the directive of the Will to subjugate the Intellectual/Emotive process. It must be pointed out that I am not speaking of an unguided Will (unbeliever). If in fact that were the case, recognition of the failure of cooperative efforts would most likely not be perceived. What I am speaking of is a Will that is guided by the co-joined spirit of man and the indwelling Holy Spirit. If the guided Will can indeed perform independent of, or better yet, in spite of the inclination of the Emotive/Intellect then a dislocation (transference) has taken place and of course the operations are no longer ideal. The Will, Intellect and emotion are designed by the Creator to function in harmony with one another. Any detraction of this ideal is not representative of the entire man and therefore cannot image any semblance of perfection in unity. Only after the guided Will has broken the bonds restraining the Emotive/Intellect process can the healing of the Will, Intellect and Emotion as a unified whole be realized.



Can this be equated with a contrite and broken spirit?
In this application where does common grace end and saving grace begin?
Does it help if you read external stimuli = sin?
Help me define this transference
