Korinarr - please read

Korinarr - (name modeled after the brothering technique found in Star Trek.)

Korinarr is the technique by which an Aspie is finaly purged of all emotions that hinder logic; these hindering emotions are as follows:

*LOVE - compassion, passion, empathy, lust

*ANGER - rage, fury, irretibility, frustration

*FEAR - nervousness, anxiety

*SADNESS - dispair, hopelessness, grieft

*HAPPINESS - humor, joy, elation



Purging emotion does not mean never having it again. To empty a glass of water, one has to tip it over and dump it out, just like one must 'dump out' the old emotion and clean the glass.

Korinarr is not for all Aspies: indeed, many will despise its premise and attempt to annhialate its concepts by using emotionally-driven argument: logical argument cannot be held against it, because Korinarr is in fact the paramount to logic. They are one in the same.

Mastered Korinarr means feeling emotions voluntarily, rarely, and never permanently. It means that logic is the only permanent resident in the Aspie's mentality.

* * *

The ritual of Korinarr can last one day to one month, depending on the person in question. The technique centers around focusing all willpower on a visual point --- hold your hands together --- clasp all fingers beside one another, except for your index fingers, which should point straight up and perfectly verticle.

Concentrate (slip into hyperfocus) on the area 2 centimeters above the erect index fingers. Clear your mind like a pure crystal is clear of blemish. If thoughts not pertaining to Korinarr occur, do not hold onto them, and let them go as quickly as they came.

* Continueing to concentrate until the mind is clear enough to not create distraction, begin to visualize a small sphere of red energy; fill the area above the index fingers until the sphere is approximatly the size of a small marble. The sphere should not make direct contact with the index fingers.

* Concentrate on the red sphere of energy. Reach deep inside of your soul (kantra) using conscious effort to bring forth all of the emotions that you have blocked out in your life.

* Pour these emotions inside the sphere; imagine the emotions going from your left chest and head, up your arms, hands, index fingers, and then into the sphere.

* Visualize the sphere begin to pulsate with the energy of your emotions. Let the sphere keep shining brightly; do not discontinue hyperfocus.

* So that it registers with both the conscious and subconscious mind, repeat the following affirmations just above a whisper:

"I am not the sphere's effect."

"I am not the effect of the sphere's contents."

"I am the cause for the sphere."

"I am the cause for the sphere's contents."

"I am not the effect of emotions."

"I am not emotion's slave."

"I am the master. I am the cause."

* Now, let the sphere grow larger, and then in a flash of bright light, make it explode.

* Take a few deep breathes and take a break. Repeat procedure again at a later time.

Emotions afterward, if Korinarr is really acheived, are imperpetual and never held or claimed.

So if someone asks you: "Are you angry?" (or some other question pertaining to your emotional status,) Just say: "I do not believe I am capable of that emotion."

(Live Long and Prosper, my fellow Aspies! Please post feedback.)

If you are being serious, then I really feel sorry for you. So a person achieves a state of having no emotions, feelings, desires, passions, joys and so on. Then tell me what the hell is the point of living? To float through a pointless life of nothing as a hollowed out crust? Fear is a base instinct, it has evolved over ages. If you get no pleasure or joy or satisfaction, then what's the point of doing anything? There will be no motivation and no point. Passion is a driving and creating force. Love is the fruit of life. And on the other side, without anger or sadness then we cannot truly appreciate their opposites. Without all or any of these things then you are nothing. Korinarr is a joke buddy, you are removing from yourself what it means to be human.

If you are offended, irritated, angered etc. just use some Korinarr and you'll be alright again.

Apparently you didn't read the disclaimer, friend.

You can feel emotions. Just not let them own you. It is about mastering emotions and treating them as an object rather than a close friend.

I see the word 'rarely' there. Picking and choosing what to feel and what not to is still the same, it is a pale imitation of life. Life is to be experienced naturally, not through some selective existence. I take it that you have had some probelms with emotions? Can i ask what was your point in inventing this 'technique'?

An Aspie would benefit from this nonsense how?

Social stress for an Aspie can overload, and most the time, if severe enough, causes "meltdowns" and "sensory overloads." I was obviously not exempt from feeling social stress ... but I decided to take a step so that Aspies have a choice wether to feel depressed or happy.

Often when we are happy, we get suddenly crushed, which makes the impact more devestating.

Often when we are depressed, happiness is nowhere in sight; happiness is a sedative, yes. But what if we had a choice, no matter what situation we were in, on what emotion we would feel at that time?

I think if that overwhelming emotions are a problem for you, then this is great! We all have our sensory overloads and if this is a way you can control your chance of a meltdown due to too much emotion, go for it.

This seems like something you could use any time you need to calm yourself down. Centering the energy between your fingers is similar to the "ball of energy" used in Tai Chi. This technique however, allows you to create a visual to let your emotions go. Being able to control your emotional response is a very good thing. Struggling with out of control feelings and thoughts can be exhausting. I'm sure after you practice this technique you feel more focused, centered, and at peace with the world.

Whatever works, right?

Beam me up Scotty.

That is exactly it!

I actually find this Technique very interesting and worth trying, atleast for me. My emotions are a BIG thing that get in the way of many moments in my life, when I wish I could me Logical instead of Emotional.

When I get home tonight, I will try this out.

Thanks for posting!

Not a problem, my friend! Let us know how it felt and if it worked out for you.

*thumbs up*

Umm...Thats really creepy.

You could call this the FLASH technique. A bit too Zzzzen for me though.

If you remove the Star Trek references, it may prove useful in some situations I can see how it can calm someone down, for instance.

Not entirely sure if I would like to exist in a permanent state of Korinarr, though, but to each their own.

It sounds like a form of meditation, which some people can find useful. Maybe naming it after the Vulcan term is a comfort or relating to it thing.

Also, as a long-tern Original series Trek fan with a just as fannish for OS:ST mother who watched all the films AND bought the books-

I think you'll find the term used was the word "Kohlinar".

Hey Steve_Cory. Good to see you again. It's been a while since you left. With regards to your post, I don't know what to think. Being pretty much emotionless comes natural to me, and emotions that are felt, are fleeting and soon forgotten. But I digress. I disagree that existing in such a manner is a good ideal to achieve. For some individuals, it is an OK objective to try and reach, but it isn't for everyone, and I would hesitate to extend it to all Aspies. If you don't mind existing as such, and find emotion to be overrated, then it sounds an alright technique to perhaps try, but it would need to be suited to you for it to work, I think.
