[MUSIC] Hi. Welcome to this next session. We'll talk about a different topic trying to understand the nature of, of the emotion in our body. I will talk about Aware. What is aware? Aware is a, a specific word that have Japanese speaking people trying to describe a specific, a very specific feeling. Here you can find very, very nice poem written by Taneda Santoka [SOUND], and here at this, at this section work art of very good an, an, a ,a poet of the book that lives very close to my home called the Zen of Things [SOUND], in which Taneda Santoka tried to express a very, specific moment and he said, kasa o nugi shimijimi to nure. I, I think that you can really forgive my wrong Japanese pronunciation as well as, you have, you have a really forgiven my very bad English. But what he tried to express, the translation is, taking off my kasa, getting wet, satisfied within, or, or kasa is a bamboo hat. He, the, the idea is, I am completely wet. It's, it's, heavily raining. I'm so wet that it has no sense that I, maintain my, my hat, on my head. So I just decide to take off it and then leave the real situation. Be careful because Aware is not the the English concept of aware. That mean, that were, that we used to talk about, to be conscious of, it, it's for friends. Japanese Aware is used trying to describe several things, usually directly translated as pity, sorrow, grief, misery, or compassion. But the idea is, is that as a, from a poetic perspective, is the feeling of experience, a very unique moment usually in, link it to a nature. It, it evolved into a, a, a very academic concept, concept to know more about Aware. Aware, is the, is the sensitivity thing, to things. So, what is Aware, the empathy toward things and the same time, it's, it's a way of really narrowing or focusing our attention into a very specific event that perhaps is very normal, but for us represents a very important experience. This can lead to the, to the feeling of ahness, of, it's happening. And, we don't need to really be waiting for very special moments. This, this feeling, the, the Aware of things can emerge in any kind of, of places in which we can try to, to look into. Which, which will imply, and, and what I am talking about this, this very specific cultural world. Because, if you think carefully when we select data and we create attitudinal trends towards some kind of new information, we are really emotionally shaping it towards, towards this kind of action. This implies a specific way of, of evaluate and integrate the data and, at the same time, we are really deciding just by, by a daily basis and the common sense what is a normal set of data of which we must be interested or not. This even implies a metaevaluation. So, sorry, if we try to understand what's say Wittgenstein the first Wittgenstein. Later he changed. He said, the world is my world. This is the manifest, this is manifest in the fact that the limits of language (of that language which alone I understand), mean the limits of my world. But the truth is that not, is not here in this way, but the world is our world. If you combine the last two sessions, you can feel on the social nature of the, of the feeling of an event. We feel events shaped by our cultural values and the same time shaped by our personal memories of the things. But it's social process that is shaping by language. And the same time, this kind of, of attitude of our mood or action or attitude toward things, really shapes the ways by which we are interacting with the world. So, really, we can conclude that emotional filters condition the way by which we capture the world. These filters shape the range and value of our experiences, and all these emotional filters really can create intentional behaviors. Obviously, these filters are cultural oriented. And obviously sorry, Taneda Santoka really was a great, great, great haiku poet. I will suggest you do read him with a calmer spirit and with all the respect, towards a very honest guy. Thank you so much, bye.
