Definition: The word 'amygdalinic' comes from Greek and has a mysterious origin, known as 'amygdalae', which are the inner chambers in the brain that contain the amygdala, also known as the prefrontal cortex. This area plays a significant role in our emotions, memory, and decision-making processes. The precise definition of "amygdalinic" is not universally agreed upon, but it's generally understood to refer to an individual who possesses the ability to perceive the thoughts or feelings of others (i.e., 'amidst' these thoughts) and uses this understanding for manipulation or control. It often describes someone with a heightened awareness of others' feelings that they exploit or manipulate. The term has been used in various contexts, including literature and culture, but it's generally considered taboo in the Western world due to its potentially manipulative nature. It is often associated with dark, secretive, or morally ambiguous individuals who seem to have an unspoken knowledge about other people's innermost thoughts and intentions. In the Bible, this term may be used figuratively (as if the person were "amidst" others' thoughts), or metaphorically (as if they could read minds and control them). However, it is not explicitly mentioned as a biblical concept in its original context.
