I nā makahiki 1960, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Paul D. MacLean, ke kauka ʻAmelika a me ka neurobiologist, i ka manaʻo o ka lolo triune, e hōʻike kikoʻī ana i kahi hoʻonohonoho o ka lolo i ʻekolu mau ʻāpana: lolo reptilian, lolo limbic, a me ka lolo neo-Cortex. I kēia lā i hōʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he lapuwale a hoʻowahāwahā ʻia, ʻike mau mākou i kēia inoa o ka "reptilian lolo" e pili ana i kahi ʻāpana o ka lolo i hoʻoilina ʻia mai nā mea kolo kipa 250 miliona mau makahiki i hala. He aha ka manaʻo o ka lolo reptilian i ka manawa o kēia kumumanaʻo? He aha nā mea kūikawā? He aha nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa i hōʻino ai i kēia kumumanaʻo?

Wahi a Dr. Paul D. Maclean a me kāna kumumanaʻo i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1960, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ko mākou lolo i ʻekolu mau ʻāpana nui: ʻo ka limbic lolo (e komo ana ka hippocampus, ka amygdala a me ka hypothalamus), ka neo-Cortex (e komo ana ʻelua hemispher cerebral) a ʻo ka lolo reptilian, aia no 500 miliona mau makahiki i nā ʻano holoholona. Kūkākūkā kēia mau ʻāpana ʻekolu me kekahi akā hana ma ke ʻano he kino kūʻokoʻa. Kāhea ʻia ka lolo reptilian ʻo "lolo instinctive", ʻoiai e hoʻokele i nā hana nui o ka meaola.

ʻO ka lolo kūpuna a archaic, mālama ka lolo reptilian i nā pono maʻamau a me ka hoʻoponopono o nā hana nui o ka meaola.

Kapa ʻia ka lolo "primitive", ma muli o ke ola ʻana o nā mea ola (iʻa) no 500 miliona mau makahiki, ʻo ia ka lolo no ke ola ola, e hoʻomaka ana i nā hopena e like me ka lele a i ʻole ka lele. ka huhū, nā impulses, ke ʻano o ka hana hou me ka manaʻo i ka mālama ʻana i nā laha. Ua hoʻomohala ka lolo reptilian i nā amphibians a hiki i kāna pae holomua loa i nā mea kolo, ma kahi o 250 miliona mau makahiki i hala.

Hoʻokomo ʻia ka lolo a me ka cerebellum, ʻo ia ka mea e hana i ka lolo o kahi mea kolo. Kūpono loa ia, aia nō naʻe kēia lolo i ka hoʻokele a me ka koi. ʻIke ʻole i ka ʻike, he hoʻomanaʻo pōkole wale nō ko kēia lolo, ʻaʻole ʻae iā ia e hoʻopili a hoʻololi paha, e like me ka neo-Cortex.

Hoʻopili ʻia i nā hana noʻonoʻo e like me ka nānā, hoʻoponopono ia i nā hopena o ka makaʻu a me ka leʻaleʻa. He lolo binary ia (ʻae ʻaʻole paha), ʻo ka stimulate like e alakaʻi mau i ka pane like. ʻO kahi pane koke, e like me ka reflex. Aia i ka ʻike i hāʻawi ʻia i ka lolo, aia iā ia ka hoʻoholo ʻana, a e lilo ka lolo reptilian i ka lolo limbic a me ka neo-Cortex.

ʻO nā manaʻo koʻikoʻi (superstition, obsessive-compulsive disorders) e hoʻomaka i ka lolo reptilian. Eia kekahi, ko mākou pono i ke kaiāulu e hilinaʻi i ka luna kiʻekiʻe, a i ʻole ko mākou makemake nui i nā loina (haipule, moʻomeheu, kuʻuna, pilikanaka, a pēlā aku.).

Hoʻomaopopo pū kekahi nā ʻoihana hoʻolaha a me nā mea kūʻai aku: hana maʻalahi ka mea e hilinaʻi ana i kona lolo reptilian. Ma o kaʻai ʻana a i ʻole ka moekolohe ʻana, kamaʻilio pololei lākou i kēia ʻāpana o ka lolo, a loaʻa nā ʻano ʻano “compulsive” mai kēia poʻe. ʻAʻole hiki i kahi evolution ma o ka ʻike ke hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ka papahana hana hou.

Aia kahi manaʻo e ola ai i loko o ke kaiāulu, pono wale ke kanaka i kāna mau hana noʻonoʻo a me nā noʻonoʻo, a no laila e hoʻohana wale i kāna neo-Cortex a me ka lolo limbic. Hewa! ʻAʻole wale ka lolo reptilian i mea e ola ai mākou.

Ma waho aʻe o ko mākou ʻano o ka hana hou i hāʻawi ʻia iā ia, a lawelawe iā mākou me ka ʻike ʻole o ia iā ia i mua o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe o ka wahine ʻē aʻe, lawelawe ia iā mākou i kekahi mau hopena e pono ai iā mākou no ke ola i ka nohona. ʻO kahi laʻana, mālama mākou i kā mākou hakakā, ka manaʻo o ka teritori a me nā hana kūpono e pili ana i nā kaiāulu, nā hana haipule, a pēlā aku.

ʻO ke kumumanaʻo o ka lolo i hoʻokumu ʻia e Paul D. Maclean i nā makahiki 1960, ua lilo ia i mea hakakā loa i nā makahiki i hala iho nei e ka noiʻi ʻepekema. ʻAʻole mākou e hōʻole i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi lolo i nā mea kolo, akā ʻo ka leka i waena o ko lākou lolo a me ka lolo i kapa ʻia ʻo "reptilian" i nā mammals, me nā kānaka.

ʻO ka lolo o nā mea kolo e ʻae iā lākou i nā ʻano elaborate nui aʻe, pili i ka lolo o luna, e like me ka hoʻomanaʻo a i ʻole ka hoʻokele waʻa. No laila hewa ia e manaʻoʻiʻo ua paʻa ka lolo reptilian i nā pono nui a me nā pono nui.

No ke aha i lōʻihi ai kēia kuhi hewa?

Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, no nā kumu o ka pilikanaka a me ka ʻepekema manaʻo: ʻo ka "lolo reptilian" e pili ana i ka lua o ke ʻano kanaka, ka mea i loaʻa iā mākou i nā akeakamai kahiko. Eia kekahi, ua hoʻololi ʻia kēia kiʻi lolo triune i ke kiʻikuhi Freudian: ʻo nā ʻāpana o ka lolo triune he nui like me ka Freudian "me", ka "superego" a me ka "id".
