voidisyinyang Posted June 10, 2015 The hydrogen-bonded water network of the connective tissues is actually linked to ordered water dipoles in the ion-channels of the cell membrane that allow inorganic ions to pass in and out of the cell (Williams, 1993). There is thus a direct electrical link between distant signals and the intracellular matrix, leading to physiological changes inside the cells, including neurons and glial cells. This electrical channel of intercommunication is in addition to, and coupled with, the mechanical tensegrity interactions of the connective tissue-intracellular matrix continuum mentioned above. Any mechanical deformations of the protein-bound water network will automatically result in electrical disturbances and conversely, electrical disturbances will result in mechanical effects. The new imaging technique that Han and Balaban are developing (see above) depends specifically on detecting ultrasound emissions from mechanoelastic vibrations caused by electrical pulses applied to the tissues. Proton jump-conduction is a form of semi-conduction in condensed matter, and is much faster than conduction of electrical signals by the nerves. Thus the 'ground substance' of the entire body may provide a much better intercommunication system than the nervous system. Indeed, it is possible that one of the functions of the nervous system is to slow down intercommunication through the ground substance. Lower animals which do not have a nervous system are nonetheless sensitive. At the other end of the evolutionary scale, note the alarming speed with which a hypersensitive response occurs in human beings. There is no doubt that a body consciousness exists prior to the “brain” consciousness associated with the nervous system. This body consciousness also has a memory, as argued in the Section following. Mae-Wan Ho (Ph.D.)Bioelectrodynamics Laboratory, Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, U.K., David P. Knight (Ph.D.) Dept. of Biological Sciences, King Alfred's College, Winchester SO22 4NR, U.K. [Nov. 2000], “The Acupuncture System and The Liquid Crystalline Collagen Fibres of the Connective Tissues: Liquid Crystalline Meridians” American Journal of Complementary Medicine (in press, 2000). o.k. so I'm not talking about "cultural evolution" but more again a biological ontological reality that predates humans - as I posted - the reptilian vagus nerve. Humans genetically are very similar to even plants. Here's some other common animals and our genetic similarites (these numbers are consistent across all reliable sources): Cat: 90% Cow: 80% Mouse: 75% Fruit Fly: 60% Banana: 50% Interesting to look at. What I find most fascinating is the 50% match to bananas! http://genecuisine.blogspot.com/2011/03/human-dna-similarities-to-chimps-and.html and so how does this relate to the Bushmen culture? Quantum Jazz is the music of the organism dancing life into being. We are all quantum jazz players, in the very substance of our being. Like the little fruit-fly larva, the Daphnia, and any other small creature, we too, would be resplendent in all the colors of the rainbow when observed under the polarizing microscope at a special setting that lets you see right through to the tissues and cells and especially the molecules, as they are busy being alive, and keeping the organism alive. Organisms are thick with spontaneous activities at every level, right down to the molecules, and the molecules are dancing, even when the organisms sit still. The images obtained give direct evidence of the remarkable coherence (oneness) of living organisms. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, Press Release from The Institute for Science in Society. as I said - like plants even! These channels follow along the lines known in traditional Chinese medicine as “meridians.” They appear in the range from 3.4 to 5 mu m, and they are based on an extraordinarily high optical coherence. Similar observations have been reported about plants. A basic physical analysis of these phenomena points to a wide range of electromagnetic interactions that may cover almost the whole electromagnetic spectrum. They are characterized by excitation temperatures far from equilibrium, containing coherent states, and moving between the absolute maximum entropy and absolute minimum number of degrees of freedom. The results may provide new insights into the principles of electromagnetic regulation of biological systems. However, enormous amounts of work are still necessary to reveal the mechanisms of the mode couplings in the broad field of interactions. So you want to discuss the cultural evolution of plants maybe? haha.

Taoist Texts Posted June 11, 2015 Sadly evolutionism is still strong in the mainstream, . Thank you for this summary. The E. might be abandoned due to PC multi-culti pressures in academia but in collective western psyche it is alive and well as evinced by the cultural tourism approach to ancient heritage. The tourists believe themselve to be smarter than natives so they can pick and choose like tourists on a souvenir shopping spree: 'Whats that? Philosophy?That sounds cute i will take that! Ugh retention? Thats not fun, thats stupid, no thanks.What we got here immortality methods? Give me all of it. Religion, nah i am not some kind of superstitious moron. Keep it'. The tourists do not understand that its a package deal. Trying to get it piecemeal will result in bringing home but useless junk. Now to contrast with the E-word: The earliest attested reference to the European myth of the Ages of Man 500 BC-350 BC appears in the late 6th century BC works of the Greek poet Hesiod's Works and Days(109-126).this means that people lived in peace Hesiod, a deteriorationist, identifies the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, the Heroic Age, and the Iron Age. With the exception of the Heroic Age, each succeeding age was worse than the one that went before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ケンジ Posted June 15, 2015 Wow, now I understand when I was told there is a serpentine energy involved in certain types of very traditional yoga. My elder kung fu bro thinks it is a demonic energy of sorts but I said it depends on the style of yoga (not new age fad stretching hug and sweat together stuff, hold a pose and get all yoga fit not to bash anyone who trains yoga that is not traditional and authentic) anyways where was I?

Mudfoot Posted July 14, 2015 Back to topic: When there is no desire, al things are at peace. Could this be an answer to the question, and could this explain why there is so much problem with this? Celibacy with desire remaining, that must be painful and unnatural. Do not desire disrupt the pre-heaven state? Please correct this statement, I am not involved in neidan so I am probably wrong but this would be the case in my training. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taoist Texts Posted July 15, 2015 Back to topic: When there is no desire, al things are at peace. yes. for there is no peace for the wicked. Could this be an answer to the question, and could this explain why there is so much problem with this? Celibacy with desire remaining, that must be painful and unnatural. Unfulfilled desires are the very fabric of the human condition. Is a non-celibate person person living his life in contentment? No, his life is one of a permanent sexual hunger. Thats why sex sells in advertisement. Do not desire disrupt the pre-heaven state? right on the money. thats what separates real practitioners from the fake ones. the real ones contain their desires, the fakers rationalize them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spotless Posted July 15, 2015 Some teachers require; some teachers do not. Obviously they both can not be right. So which ones are the false teachers? Which ones are the true ones?

Taoist Texts Posted July 15, 2015 Good god - so entirely wrong - things are never so black and white. Obviously they can both be right. Men find Ways to persuade themselves, to believe any Absurdity, to submit to any Prostitution, rather than forego their Wishes and Desires. Their Reasons become at last an eloquent Advocate on the Side of their Passions, and [they] bring themselves to believe that black is white, that Vice is Virtue, that Folly is Wisdom and Eternity a Moment.

Nerien Posted July 28, 2015 IHVH is yahweh IHSHVH is jesus The inserted SH is Hebrew Shin- "fire" This is incorrect. Shin is spirit. The triple crown of fire. I (Yod) = Fire H (Heh) = Water V (Vav) = Air H (Heh, final) = Earth Fun fact! Leonard Nimoy's hand sign for "Live Long and Prosper" was ripped off a Jewish Orthodox representation of Shin he saw during a ritual as a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shin is the symbol for spirit. It partakes of fire like a house contains wood, but a house made of wood is not the same as the concept of wood. It rules fire, but since when were the ruler and the ruled the same thing? Har! Observe. See those three Yods at the top? Those are the flames. Yod = Fire. This is really basic QBL stuff.
