ist ein Neurotransmitter und Hormon, das ausgesprochen zur Vertrauensbildung und der Förderung von Großzügigkeit dient. Es fördert menschliche Beziehungen, indem es dazu anregt, Beziehungen mit anderen einzugehen und zu pflegen.
- stärkt die Verbundenheit unter Säugetieren und agiert in festen Partnerschaften als Neuromodulator.
Testosteron bremst die Bindungsbereitschaft, fördert Selbstsucht und reduziert die Bereitschaft zur Großzügigkeit.
Cortisol ist eines der stärksten Stresshormone im Körper.

Der Hypothalamus von Männern und Frauen weist einen deutlichen Sexualdimorphismus auf. Nur bei Männern besteht eine Koppelung von sexueller Erregung, Aggressivität und Dominanzverhalten. In Verbindung mit einem signifikant erhöhten Testosteronspiegel und einem deutlich gesenkten Serotoninspiegel verüben prädisponierte Männer Gewalttaten. Serotonin, Oxytocin und das Neuropeptid Y tragen zur Beruhigung und zur Aggressionskontrolle bei.
"NUR bei Männern – ist der Hypothalamus das Agens von sexueller Erregung UND Gewalt.

Amerikanische Neurologen haben an knapp 50 Probanden herausgefunden entdeckt, wie und wo sich das Gefühl des Vertrauens im Gehirn bemerkbar macht. Aktiv wird vor allem die Hirnregion namens Nucleus caudatus. Dort werden die Reaktionen des Gegenübers bewertet, woraus entsprechend Vertrauen oder Misstrauen folgt.

Vertrauen und Wirtschaft

1996 führten der US-amerikanische Neurowirtschaftswissenschaftler Dr. Paul Zak The Center for Neuroeconomics Studies (CNS), und seine Kollegen eine internationale Vertrauensstudie durch.
Die Studienteilnehmer beantworteten folgende Frage:

“Würden Sie generell sagen, dass die meisten Menschen
a) vertrauenswürdig sind oder

b) man nie zu vorsichtig sein kann im Umgang mit anderen Menschen?”

Die statistische Auswertung der Antworten ergab hinsichtlich der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung folgende Studienergebnisse:

Vertrauen fördert den wirtschaftlichen und den moralischen Fortschritt in der Gesellschaft.
Vertrauen ermöglicht
- Handelsbeziehungen mit geringeren Abwicklungskosten,
- weniger gescheiterten Verhandlungsgesprächen,
- Schlichtungen und
- unnötigen Gerichtsprozessen.
Je größer das Vertrauen unter den Bürgern ist, umso mehr verringern sich Diskriminierung und wirtschaftliche Ungleichheit.
Wenn sich das Vertrauen in die Mitbürger eines Landes um 15% erhöht, steigt dessen Wirtschaftswachstum um jeweils $ 430.
- Skandinavische und südostasiatische Staatsangehörige vertrauen ihren Landsleuten mehr als die Menschen in Südamerika und Osteuropa.
- In ärmeren Ländern, wie beispielsweise Indien, ist das Maß an Vertrauen größer als in reicheren Ländern, wie etwa den USA.

Wirtschaftswissenschafter haben festgestellt, dass das zwischenmenschliche Vertrauen das stärkste Indiz für Armut in der Welt ist. Dies ist eine gewichtige Neuigkeit. Wir müssten jedoch über Studien ermitteln, wie man die Vertrauensbildung stärken kann. Paul Zak, Ph.D., US-amerikanischer Neurowirtschaftsexperte, Claremont Graduate Universität, Südkalifornien

Resilienz – Verhältnis: Zwei Drittel ⇔ Ein Drittel

Der Psychoanalytiker, Kinderpsychologe und KZ-Überlebende Jude Bruno Bettelheim, der im Alter Selbstmord begangen hat, bestätigt in einer psychologischen Analyse in seinem Buch Aufstand gegen die Masse. Die Chance des Individuums in der modernen Gesellschaft (1980) folgende verhältnismäßige soziologische Faustregel angesichts der Bewältigung von einschneidenden Lebenskrisen.

Reaktionsschema bei Extremsituationen
Drittelung	Biblischer Hinweis	Verhaltensqualität	Beschreibung
1. Drittel	Ohne Brot sind sie nicht imstande dazu!	Sie können nicht.	Ein Drittel der ins KZ verschickten Juden und Sinti sind bereits während des Transports aus Angst vor der Ungewissheit ihres Schicksals und der Aussicht auf das Lagerleben gestorben.
2. Drittel	Ohne Spiele sind sie nicht bereit dazu!	Sie wollen nicht.	Das zweite Drittel starb während der KZ-Inhaftierung, weil die Bedingungen dort unerträglich für sie waren.
3. Drittel	Mit nur wenig BROT und SPIELEN halten sie durch.	Wenn der Tipping Point erreicht ist, geschieht die Wandlung.	Das letzte Drittel entkam auf wundersame Weise beziehungsweise es überlebte die Torturen der persönlichen Entmachtung bis zur Befreiung durch alliierte Truppen. Die Befreiten oder Freigewordenen verdankten dies ihrer geistig-seelischen Stärke, ihrem unerschütterlichen Vertrauen in ihr Schicksal und ihrer körperlichen Disziplin.[*]
Siehe auch 2/3:1/3-Verhältnis in der apokalyptischen Offenbarung (NT) – Ein Drittel der Menschheit besteht die "Tage der Trübsal".

Aaron Antonovsky wertete 1970 eine Erhebung über die Anpassungsfähigkeit von Frauen verschiedener ethnischer Gruppen an die Menopause aus. Eine Gruppe war 1939 zwischen 16 und 25 Jahre alt gewesen und hatte sich zu dieser Zeit in einem nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslager befunden. Ihr psychischer und körperlicher Gesundheitszustand wurde mit der einer Kontrollgruppe verglichen. Der Anteil der in ihrer Gesundheit nicht beeinträchtigten Frauen betrug in der Kontrollgruppe 51 %, im Vergleich zu 29 % der KZ-Überlebenden. Nicht der Unterschied an sich, sondern die Tatsache, dass in der Gruppe der KZ-Überlebenden 29 % der Frauen trotz der unvorstellbaren Qualen eines Lagerlebens mit anschließendem Flüchtlingsdasein als (körperlich und psychisch) ‚gesund’ beurteilt wurden, war für ihn ein unerwartetes Ergebnis.

Es ist wichtig zu unterscheiden zwischen echter Demut, die eine Form von Bescheidenheit ist, und mangelndem Vertrauen. Sie sind keineswegs identisch, obwohl viele sie verwechseln. Dies mag ansatzweise erklären, weshalb man heutzutage vor allem im Geschäfts- und Berufsleben Demut oft als Schwäche statt als Ausdruck innerer Stärke betrachtet. Dalai Lama XIV.

Wenn Sie in die Zukunft blicken, können Sie nicht erkennen, wo Zusammenhänge bestehen. Das wird erst in der Rückschau möglich. Das heißt, Sie müssen darauf vertrauen, dass sich die einzelnen Mosaiksteinchen in Ihrer Zukunft zu einem Gesamtbild zusammenfügen. Sie müssen auf etwas vertrauen – Ihr Bauchgefühl, das Schicksal, das Leben, Karma, egal was. Denn der Glaube daran, dass sich irgendwann die einzelnen Mosaiksteinchen zusammenfügen werden, gibt Ihnen die Zuversicht, dem Ruf Ihres Herzens zu folgen. Auch wenn der Sie abseits der ausgetretenen Wege führt – aber das macht den Unterschied.

Er [ Hermann Hesse ] sei sehr scheu gewesen, sagt sie [Hesses Hausbesorgerin], habe sich nur mit wenigen Menschen unterhalten. Einmal morgens habe sie sein Zimmer geputzt, und beim Blick aus dem Fenster habe sie beobachtet, wie ihm eine Dohle aus der Hand fraß. Frau Schneider sagt: »Ich fragte mich, ob es eine zahme Dohle war oder ob der Vogel gemerkt hat, dass vor ihm ein ganz besonderer Mensch stand.« Tomas Niederberghaus, Schlussakt mit Hesse, ZEIT Nr. 43 (online), 16. Oktober 2008

Der Mensch kann nicht leben ohne ein dauerndes Vertrauen zu etwas Unzerstörbaren in sich, wobei sowohl das Unzerstörbare als auch das Vertrauen dauernd verborgen bleiben können.

Vertraue auf Allah, doch zuvor binde deinem Kamel die Knie. Arabisches Sprichwort, Vorsichts-Motto

Wir haben so wenig Vertrauen in die Gezeiten des Lebens, der Liebe, der Beziehungen. Begeistert bejubeln wir die Flutzeiten und weichen entsetzt vor der Ebbe zurück mit der Befürchtung, dass die Flut nie wiederkehren wird. Wir drängen auf Beständigkeit und Dauer, wo doch die einzig mögliche Kontinuität im Leben wie in der Liebe Wachsen, Fließen, Freiheit ist. Die einzig wirkliche Sicherheit liegt nicht im Besitz, nicht im Fordern oder Erwarten, nicht einmal im Hoffen. Die Sicherheit in einer Beziehung liegt nicht im Blick zurück auf das, was sein könnte, sondern im Leben, in der Gegenwart und im Akzeptieren dessen, was ist.

[...] Have faith in the Truth and live it. Buddha [LoC 1,000] Indian avatar, teacher of enlightenment, central figure of Buddhism

One does not become a disciple by conversion, or by accident. There is usually an ancient link, maintained through many lives and flowering as love and trust, without which there is no discipleship. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj [LoC 720] (1897-1981) Indian Hindu sage of the advaita vedānta tradition, I Am That. Talks with Sri Nisargadatta, S. 460, Acorn Press, 1973, June 1990

October 2010

A definite conception of God (such as that of the Divine Mother) is necessary, otherwise one does not receive a clear response. And the demand for the Lord's reply should be strong; a half-believing prayer is not sufficient. If you make up your mind: "He is going to talk with me"; if you refuse to believe differently, regardless of how many years He has not answered you; if you go on trusting Him, one day He will respond. Paramahansa Yogananda [LoC 540] (1893-1952) Indian Hindu sage, philosopher, author, How You Can Talk with God

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

Trust influences economy

Countries where the level of trust in society is very low have a lot of difficulty thriving economically – so you need a certain level of trust to get moving.

Corruption is a measure of trust in society, and trust, it turns out, should be essential to well-being. […]
But even when you look at the Western world where GDP is more or less constant, you find large effects of trust, and that’s why Northern Europe always emerges at the best place to be in the world in terms of well-being research. Daniel Kahnemann, Ph.D. (*1934) Israeli-American professor in psychology, Princeton, founder of behavioral economics, Nobel laureate in economic sciences, 2002, cited in: Questioning a Chastened Priesthood, presented by International Money Fund imf.org, Jeremy Clift, Finance & Development, Volume 46, Number 3, September 2009

The age-old myth that money buys happiness needs to be refined, as does the competing myth that wealth does not matter. What he’s found in comparative studies of nations is that both the level of corruption and the degree of trust in society are important predictors of well-being.

Men have been programmed by society not to be intimate.
What do men want from women? – Sex.

We [men] lie a lot. [...] We are gonna fake it. [...] Truthfully what we [men] want is the same that you [women] want. Men are women turned inside out. We are.

Discernment is learning to listen to and trust your natural knowing. Steve Ryals, awakened recovered US American drugatic, Drunk with Wonder. Awakening to the God Within, Rock Creek Press, September 2006

Intimacy is a quality we bring with us – not something that we have to look for outside of ourselves. But the "truth of who we are" is both an individuated self and a participating aspect of Sacred Wholeness. In fact, if we are not aware of where the individuated self ends and the other begins we begin to mistake enmeshment and co-dependency for intimacy. To really receive the other there must be some degree of awareness of both the inter-beingness and the "I am" that can receive. Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Canadian author, poet, public speaker, Facebook comment, 4. March 2011

Male initiation

The only external power that you can trust is in men who have also found their real inner power. Power it seems is the key fascination in the male soul and in every male archetype. It does not go away by churchy preaching or cultural poverty. It just takes disguised and different forms and finally comes back to defeat most worthwhile projects or worse, keeps them from ever getting started. If the male does not experience his power and his possibilities, if he does not let others educate it and tame it, power needs/ego needs tend to control his whole agenda. It does not go away. Primal cultures understood this to an amazing degree, and they took steps to insure that it would not keep happening and subverting their community. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, Made not Born: Men and Power, presented by Malespirituality.org, July 2003

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. Golda Meir (1898-1978) Israeli Founder, Prime Minister

[G]overnance can only be based on clarity of shared intent and trust in expected behavior, heavily seasoned with common sense and tolerance […] [R]ules and regulations, laws and contracts, can never replace clarity of shared purpose and clear, deeply held principles about conduct in pursuit of it. Principles are never capable of ultimate achievement, for they resume constant evolutionary change.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you is a true principle, for it says nothing about how it must be done. Dee Ward Hock (*1929) US American founder and CEO Emeritus of the VISA credit card association, founder of non-profit organization The Chaordic Commons, Birth of the Chaordic Age, Berrett-Koehler Publishers Inc., 1999

In Love and Survival, Dean Ornish makes the point that love and intimacy are more powerful determinants of health than improved diet, stopping smoking, genetic make-up, more exercise, or prescription drugs. Marnia Robinson, US American former corporate lawyer, researcher, author on ancient sacred-sex prescriptions, Biology's Mandate to Separate, 28. July 2005

Statistics show that intimate relationships with trusted companions both increase longevity and protect health, which suggests that overcoming our biological imperative may indeed be wise. Marnia Robinson, US American former corporate lawyer, researcher and author on ancient sacred-sex prescriptions, Open Letter to Gnostic Scholars, undated

Man cannot live without a permanent trust in something indestructible in himself, though both the indestructible element and the trust may remain permanently hidden from him. One of the ways in which this hiddenness can express itself is through faith in a personal god. Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Austrian-Hungarian culturally influential German-language novelist, Aphorisms, 1918

We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone – but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy. Walter Anderson (*1944) US American chairman and CEO of Parade Publications (2000–2009)

Zitate (engl.) – David R. Hawkins

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in him will I trust.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you shall trust;
For thou, O LORD, art my trust; thou hast established thy habitation in the highest. Psalm 91 (OT), Lamsa Bible online

Personal avowals

Through prayer and meditation one is willing to take a risk. One develops faith. Faith and trust become stronger and stronger. Faith and trust become strong enough so that eventually you’re willing to walk off the cliff. I have walked off the cliff a number of times in my lifetime. I've walked off the cliff where all certainty was left behind. And if there was something in the Universe, It would pick you up and carry you through. And if there wasn’t, then that was the end. And, I've had to do it several times and so I've developed the capacity to do it. I've developed sufficient faith and trust that what I really know to be true, I now trust, despite the evidence in my senses and I will walk off a cliff if need be. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Farmingdale, New York, Seminar Giving Up Illness and not Recognizing Death through A Course in Miracles, sponsored by The Bridgebuilders, CD 2 or 3 of 3, 11. June 1983

Through the study of A Course in Miracles [LoC 550/600] and meditation, kundalini (spiritual energy) began flowing up the back. So, one does the Course of Miracles continually and if the physicality gets healed or not is totally irrelevant! In that state, the kundalini energy pours in and you don't need anything!

That health is more important than disease,
that life is more important than death,
that honor is preferable to dishonor,
that faith and trust are preferable to doubt and cynicism,
that the constructive is preferable to the destructive –
all are self-evident statements not subject to proof. Ultimately, the only thing we can say about a source of power is that it just “is”. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. ?, Hay House edition, February 2002

We never lose the innocence of our own consciousness; it persists, naive and trusting, like an impressionable child. Its only guardian is a discerning awareness that scrutinizes the incoming program. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. ?, Hay House edition, February 2002

Despite our mistrust of ease and clarity, we may see two general classes of people in the world: believers and nonbelievers. To the nonbelievers, everything is false until proven true; to the believers, everything said in good faith is probably true unless it’s proven otherwise. The pessimistic position of cynical skepticism stems from fear, while the more optimistic manner of accepting information arises from self-confidence. Either style works, and each has its pros and cons. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, S. 32, Hay House edition, February 2002

Seek to understand rather than to condemn. Venerate the teachers of these basic principles and ignore all others. Apply these principles to one's view of oneself as well as of others. Trust in love, mercy, infinite wisdom and compassion of Divinity which sees through all human error, limitation, and frailty. Place faith and trust in the love of God, which is forgiving, and understand that condemnation and fear of judgement stem from the ego. The Eye of the I, S. 65

Although ridiculing faith and trust, skeptics themselves exhibit the same naive confidence and faith in their own subjective internationalizations and mentalized perceptions. The skeptic states that the mind is unable to know the truth, and then, paradoxically, uses that very mind to prove the validity of doubt and mistrust, thus even the skeptic is basically motivated by the same naive trust. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, S. 166

Blind faith – “Don't trust.” programs

The innocence of the child never changes; in fact, it is the innocence of the child within you that is reading these words this very second. It never changes; it is that same trusting, believing, and 'hoping to hear the truth and be open to it' innocence that continues. Even if you do not believe what you are reading now, it is because some opposite program within your mind says, “Don't trust.” And it was your innocence that bought the program of “Don't trust anybody.” Even the mistrusting person is doing so out of trust. They are trusting the truth of that statement. Maybe one day their father said, “Don't trust anybody out there,” and it was their innocence that bought the distrust. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Healing and Recovery, S. 59-60

To be in the space just prior to thought [...] you sense that you are present. You sense that you are in the presence of the allness of us here. Just like when you walk out in nature, just before your stupid mind says, Isn't that a beautiful tree, you catch the space in which you saw the tree's beauty without comment. That's the space you live in. It's just prior to thought. It's easy to just fall back into it. It's not like something you have to accomplish through years of study and meditation. The willingness to trust it' and just drop back into that – that that is your reality. Sedona Seminar Perception and Illusion'', 3 DVD set, 4. May 2002

“Trust your brother”, as an example. YES, by all means TRUST their ESSENCE! […]
Within a certain context and to a certain degree all things are possible. At the same time they are not. […] It's the error of mixing levels. […] You can walk on water at this level, if you try it on that level you are drowned. What's true at one level is not true on another level. […]
You see what applies to the abstract level may not necessarily apply to the concrete. […] It is true but only within a certain context.

Pseudo spiritual is: 'Oh I trust everybody, I'm sure I can give anybody my cheeckbook and the keys to my car, and I know I can depend on him to return it.' I got news for you. I had to go down after waiting a month to Cottonwood and get my car because it was still sitting in the driveway, because he was on a bender. I never would've gotten my car back if I waited for the goodness of mankind to blossom through this idiot. So being spiritual doesn't mean being a stupid pussy willow. I say that because people that are naïve pussy willows get taken, not just financially, they get taken spiritually. Dr. David R.

A decent regret takes care of the past. Trust, faith and surrender takes care of the future. And in the present moment you don't have any problems. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Sedona Seminar Thought and Ideation, 3 DVD set, 28. February 2004

Faith is an aspect of personality without which you wouldn’t live. Faith is really operative at the practical level which has to do with expectation and expected realities, such as, your foot will land on the ground. Spiritual faith is something different – placing your faith in things unseen – trust – the capacity to trust. This comes as an inspiration to do that. This increases the likelihood of the fulfillment of that. The likelihood of it is increased by your commitment and intention that the response is going to be more probable in a certain direction than another. You are affecting probability by intention. The modern mind would like to have it backed up. Faith for its own sake is already a certain sacredness. You are not looking for a payoff. You do it for its own sake and not for some gain. Thereby you fulfill your own potential to evolve. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Sedona Seminar Perception vs. Essence, 3 DVD set, 22. April 2006

God is infinitely merciful. Trust in the mercifulness of God. [...] Every hair on your head is counted – not because God is an old crank, but everything you do lays down a karmic track and that is what you are answerable for.

Zitate (engl.) – Paul Zak (Dacher Keltner, Adam Smith)

Oxytocin is primarily a molecule of social connection. It affects every aspect of social and economic life, from who we choose to make investment decisions on our behalf to how much money we donate to charity. Oxytocin tells us when to trust and when to remain wary, when to give and when to hold back.

The levels of the oxytocin spike at the Wedding vows. Among all the tested guests of a wedding the biggest rise was found in the bride and the mother of the bride. The 'cuddle and monogamy chemical' oxytocin fosters trust, bonding and generosity.
Maybe the reason we have these weddings is not just because of the emotional contagion – the empathy, the love – but because these emotions are linked to helping maintain the human race.

Question: Can neuroeconomics work for individual businesses?
Answer: If you can induce this oxytocin rich environment, if you can create this environment, then you have a way to drive productivity and drive individual satisfaction for being part of this organization. We have a purpose, we are here to serve others and we see this as some endeavor that we do together. When do it together we feel good about ourselves and about the people that we’re helping. So what this means is that in the old model, "greed is good," the measurement technique is: lead with fear. In the model, empower individuals to be the best they can be in an organization with purpose, you’re going to lead with love. So if you lead with love then you have this oxytocin environment that will motivate people going beyond, exceeding expectations and leading to delighting the customer, delighting the people around me. And delight is what we really want from a customer experience.

Petty evils exhibited by normally virtuous people.

When physiologically stressed and in "survival mode" the testosterone and its bioactive metabolite DHT are released in humans. Stress hormones prevent oxytocin from binding to brain receptors, tipping the balance towards distrust and away from pro-social behaviour.

We found in our [longterm] experiments with 1000s and 1000s of people that 5% of the population don't release oxytocin on stimulus. These 5% have very unusual psychological profiles.

Empathy: Humans are essentially "other-regarding" beings with a capacity for "fellow feeling".

How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortunes of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it. Of this kind is pity or compassion , the emotion we feel for the misery of others, when we either see it, or are made to conceive it in a very lively manner. That we often derive sorrow from the sorrows of others, is a matter of fact too obvious to require any instances to prove it; for this sentiment, like all the other original passions of human nature, is by no means confined to the virtuous or the humane, though they perhaps may feel it with the most exquisite sensibility. The greatest ruffian, the most hardened violator of the laws of society, is not altogether without it. Adam Smith [LoC 455] (1723-1790) Scottish US American social and moral philosopher, pioneer of classical political economic theory, Theory of Moral Sentiments, first sentence, 1759

Oxytocin – the bonding chemical

Oxytocin, an extract from the human posterior pituitary gland, first appeared in fish who adopted a selforganizing trade system 400 million years ago.
Oxytocin was first discovered as the agent that contracted the uterus of a pregnant cat by the British pharmacologist Sir Henry H. Dale in 1909. Using the Greek terms for "quick" and "birth" he named the extract oxytocin.
In the 1970s oxytocin was also found a neurotransmitter. It is acting on the limbic system, the brain's emotional center.
In the 1990s animal studies at the University of Maryland showed that oxytocin fostered bonding and monogamous behaviour in prairie voles.
US American neuroeconomist Paul Zak, Ph.D., leading researcher on oxytocin since the 2001, found that oxytocin holds the key to human morality, policing the "self-other divide" and subtly prodding humans towards virtuous behavior.

An accumulation of oxytocin receptors are found in the amydala and the hypothalamus in the brain.

Oxytocin is the human glue. When a woman has sex with a man, the neuro-peptide, neurotransmitter, and hormone oxytocin is released into her system to strenghten the bond with her lover. If a woman has multiple sexual partners her levels of oxytocin are lowered. This can inhibit her ability to bond to her husband or significant other.
Oxytocin is infused during pregnancy and breast-feeding which helps the mother in the bonding process with her infant.

Women get lots of comfort from talking. As women talk, their body releases a brain hormone called oxytocin, the "feel-good" hormone.
A study suggests soldiers form loyal "Bands of Brothers" fighting and dying for each other because they have the same instincts that let mothers ferociously protect their newborns.

The emotions that promote the meaningful life are organized to an interest in the welfare of others. Compassion shifts the mind in ways that increase the likelihood of taking pleasure in the improved welfare of others. Awe shifts the very contents of our self-definition, away from the emphasis of personal desires and preferences and toward that which connects us to others. Neurochemicals (oxytocin) and regions of the nervous system related to these emotions promote trust and long-term devotion. We have been designed to care about things other than the gratification of desire and the maximizing of self-interest.

The deepest meaning of sexual experience lies not in pleasure, or even in reproduction, but in the opportunity it affords to [overcome self-absorption and build mutual trust].

The hypothalamus of men and women shows a significant sexual dimorphism. Only with men it is coupled with sexual arousal, aggression and dominant behavior. Predisposed men with significantly high testosterone levels and very low serotonine levels commit violent acts. Serotonine, Oxytocin, and the neuropeptide Y contribute to the calming and to aggression control.

The hypothalamus (saturated with testosterone) – ONLY in men – is the agent of sexual arousal AND for violence.

TRUST AND ECONOMY

In 1996, neuroscientist Paul Zak and colleagues performed an international trust study.
Participants in different countries were asked the following question:

“Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted, or that you cannot be too careful in dealing with people?”

After statistical analysis Study results in regard to economic development were:

TRUST

promotes and upholds the economic and ethical progress in societies.
facilitates economic exchange with fewer transaction costs.
allows for fewer failed negotiations and adversarial settlements, and lawsuits.

With increased trust among a citizenry, discrimination and economic inequality fall.

For every 15 percent increase in the trust of a nation’s citizens, their economic fortunes rise by $430.

Scandinavian and East Asian cultures are more trusting than South American and Eastern European cultures.
Poorer nations, like India, are often more trusting than wealthier nations, like the United States.

Economists have uncovered that interpersonal trust is among the most powerful predictors of whether or not a country will be "rich". Dr. Paul Zak, US American neuroeconomics expert, Claremont Graduate University, Southern California

Four categories of women – Ellie Drake

The effects of adrenaline and oxytocin on the human feminine physiology

Rather than competing women are natural givers in life and business, who naturally cooperate and collaborate with others.
Success is networking, developing relationships and taking action.
The bonding hormone oxytocin instills the 'tend and befriend' behavior. It can be secreted on demand by activating the parasympathetic system by trusting the process, exhaling and relaxing the chest area.

#	Category	Hormone	Expression	Production Nervous system Brain	Description
_1._	Survival Inhaling 'Fight or flight' mode	Adrenaline Expressly Male	Separation Freedom Achieving Prosperity	Sympathetic nervous system	* Surviving in a competitive corporate environment * Seen as rather aggressive * Adrenaline is incongruent to a female body, leads to biochemical confusion.¹
_2._	Resentment mode	Male			* Come across super-sensitive * Consumed in the manifestation struggle * Still learning to discern their feelings to those of others
_3._	Flow mode	Female			* Following their instincts Tapped into their courage * Resulting in some positive and synchronistic incidents * Lack of congruence, consistency, magnetism, inner power, authentic behavior
_4._	Full potential Exhaling 'Tend and befriend' mode²	Oxytocin Expressly Female	Bonding Love Prosperity	Parasympathetic nervous system Hippocampus	* Tapped consistently into oxytocin * Congruence, consistency, magnetism, inner power, authentic behavior * Seen as rather even-tempered, equaninomous * Oxytocin is congruent to the female body, leads to biochemical congruency.

Three archetypal wounds in trust and love

Interculturally only three basic emotional wounds (known also as 'sacred wounds' or 'felix culpa') were found: ABANDONMENT * SHAMING * BETRAYAL.

Item #	Universal Wound	Threat for survival of	Temperature	Body reaction Defence	Emotional reaction	Remedy Healing process
1.	Abandonment (Most primal)	BODY	Cold	Cortisol Top stress hormone	Fear	Commitment to Self Compassion Taking action
2.	Shaming	PSYCHE	Hot	Pro-inflammatory products Arthritis, cardiovascular diseases	Humiliation	Honoring Self Dignifying Self Setting boundaries
3.	Betrayal in loyalty / trust (Most severe)	MIND	Hot	Adrenalin Stress hormone	Anger Rage, Hostility	Loyalty to Self Trust in Self

The 'sacred wounds' resonate with four levels of human expression and experience:

Item # LoC	Focus of experience	Body / Temple correspondence	Energy correspondence	Scientific discipline correspondence	Remark
1. 1-200	Body	Two Feet ___________________ Outside the temple	Nonintegrous duality Literal	Biology / Science	Common sense reality
2. 200-460	Mind	Two Legs ___________________ Inside the Temple	Integrous duality Symbolic	Psychology	Symbols, writing, pictures, memes
3. 460-540	Group	One Trunk ___________________ Sanctuary, altar	Nonlinearity Paradoxical	Sociology / Law	Cultural paradigm
4. 540-600+	Spirit	One Head ___________________ Tabernacle Holy of holies	Nonduality Transformation	Religion / Mythical beliefs	Faith, spirituality

The creation of a more peaceful and happier society has to begin from the level of the individual, and from there it can expand to one's family, to one's neighborhood, to one's community and so on. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Facebook comment, 11:09, 9. Januar 2012

Item #	Level of expression	Domain	Biocognition Comprising three basic intercultural emotional wounds

Three mating drives Helen Fisher ∞ Three types of integration of Yin and Yang Lao Tzu

Biology of the human mating drives ∞
Energy of the human melting embrace

Neuroanthropologist and brain researcher Dr. Helen Fisher points out three very strong circuits/drives which have evolved in the brain of animals and humans. These drives of mating and bonding may lead one to act self sacrificially (dying for the other) as well as to killing oneself or the other when being rejected.
When these three compartmentalized brain systems are not synchronized with each other trouble may well arise.

- Quotes on Karezza

Stage	Yin and Yang integration		Type and expression of male⇔female union
1.	The first integration of yin and yang	is	the union of seed and egg within the womb.
2.	The second integration of yin and yang	is	the sexual union of the mature male and female. Both of these are concerned with flesh and blood, and all that is conceived in this realm must one day disintegrate and pass away.
3.	It is only the third integration	which	gives birth to something immortal. In this integration, a highly evolved individual joins the subtle inner energies of yin and yang under the light of spiritual understanding. Through the practices of the Integral Way he refines his gross, heavy energy into something ethereal and light. This divine light has the capability of penetrating into the mighty ocean of spiritual energy and complete wisdom that is the Tao. The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.
Lao Tzu [LoC 610] (604-531 BCE) Chinese taoist philosopher, founder of Taoism, Hua Hu Ching, paragraph 66, translated by Brian Walker

Reestablishing trust with a sincere apology

	The Five Rs of Apology
Stage	Action	Legend
1.	Recognition	The offender understands specifically what he or she did wrong.
2.	Responsibility	The offender accepts personal responsibility for the injury.
3.	Remorse	There is no substitute for the magic words “I’m sorry” or “I apologize.”
4.	Restitution	The offender makes the injured party whole or, barring that, speaks his intention never to offend again.
5.	Promise	The offender reassures his intention not to repeat the offensive or careless behavior.

The levels of the oxytocin spike at the Wedding vows. Among all the tested guests of a wedding the biggest rise was found in the bride and the mother of the bride. The 'cuddle and monogamy chemical' oxytocin fosters trust, bonding and generosity.
Maybe the reason we have these weddings is not just because of the emotional contagion – the empathy, the love – but because these emotions are linked to helping maintain the human race.

Those who release more oxytocin when they’re trusted are happier, they report greater satisfaction with life, they have better romantic relationships, they have more friendships, and they have more sex. All that sounds like a pretty good situation to me. So by training your brain to release oxytocin through your behaviors, you can actually improve your life.
