wandelaar Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) @ VonKrankenhaus Apparently you believe in the possibility of pure observation unspoiled by theoretical presuppositions. But I don't. The modern philosophy of science has made it clear that no such thing is possible. Meditation and other spiritual practices can supply extraordinary experiences, but even those experiences have to be interpreted to mean something. That's why your pronouncements aren't the undeniable truths that you take them to be. All we (you and me included) are offering are perspectives, but some perspectives have more explanatory power than others.

Even voidisyinyang is describing this, and some of them in real good detail. -VonKrankenhaus yes a battery is an excellent metaphor. For example a NiCd battery relies on "1 micron" crystals so that the battery has very little resistance due to such a large surface area - and so what happens is a mystery "memory effect." We can consider this memory effect to be the same as left-brain consciousness (the discursive thinking mind). So the left brain , left side vagus nerve does NOT connect to the right side of the brain. The right side vagus nerve DOES connect to the left side of the brain. The right side vagus nerve also connects the reproductive energy to the right side of the heart, via the right side of the brain. Gee I just answered the OPs "question." - simply psychophysiology. So then collagen in the body is piezoelectric - just like a battery crystalline charge that is stored up. So collagen in the body is 90% vertically aligned. This is why in the first stage of the training there has to be 3 times MORE vertical active exercise - to open up the "yin qi" energy that goes from the heels - up to the "Ocean of Yin Qi" - below the navel - and when that is filled up then the central channel opens up the pineal gland and heart - via this right side vagus nerve. So quantum biology has now proven that indeed the microtubules that make up both collagen and the neurons in the body - the microtubules are quantum coherent since the microtubules are 6 times bigger than then tubulins yet when the microtubules resonate from ultrasound frequency the microtubules have - I think it's 300 times greater charge then the smaller tubulins. I'll look that up again. It's in my "Blue Light of Blues Music" pdf. http://ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-blue-light-of-blues-music-ii.html OK so back to the NiCd metaphor - so with our left brain dominance then the "memory effect" kicks in - we never fully discharge the battery down to 1 volt - and so due to inherent asymmetry of reality - some of the cells get overcharged and so short out, developing crystalline dendrite growth. This prevents the full charge from the 1 micron level - and so the battery can never fully use its capacity anymore. So the only way to fix this is to have a "zapping" transmission or healing - by having a synchronized resonance of voltage to build up enough amps to break up the dendrites so that the smaller microns (in this case tubulins) can properly synchronize as "superradiance" - http://ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-blue-light-of-blues-music-ii.html OK that is what I was referring to... Microtubule is six times bigger than single protein tubulin yet is 3000 times more electrically conductive than single tubulin protein Now granted I wrote that - what - almost a year ago! It's a little outdated. We can go to my blog for the latest updated research... https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2018/12/coherent-energy-transfer-and-potential.html citing https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327571321_On_the_existence_of_superradiant_excitonic_states_in_microtubules There you have it folks! The battery metaphor is now proven in relativistic quantum biology! Or as qigong master John Chang stated: "I am just like an electric eel!" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "theory" is actually just the observation of Polarity. We are born from all Dark womb into half-light/half-dark world of Air - so feeling Polarity is primal activity. No theory required. We grasp this as babies with no theories. Without experiencing polarities, we have no discernible experience. No "hot" means we can't tell "cold" - both arise at same time. We all have this experience. Everyone living knows polarity intimately already.

wandelaar Posted December 27, 2018 @ VonKrankenhaus That is correct - the most basic forms of theory are instinctual, and we share those with the higher animals. But terms such as "battery" and "thermodynamics" are definitely not instinctual. So you are merely avoiding to consider my argument that your pronouncements are not neutral descriptions of observations independent of theory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Plato won out - so the delusional Western symmetric science developed from irrational magnitude math. https://ecoechoinvasives.blogspot.com/2018/03/mathematical-physicist-walter-van.html Mathematical physicist Walter van Suijlekom and Aristotle (Shahn Majid): Will Lee Smolin recognize the secret of noncommutative phase as negentropic momentum force? Why Plato was wrong about "twoness" as a symmetrical unit before Number Platonists, according to Aristotle, always posited intermediate mathematical numbers which are separate from both sensible things and the Forms. (googlebooks) Numbers as units that are "internally comparable" but "externally incomparable." That is the say, as Aristotle understood but disagreed with, the Forms are based on the void of irrational geometry as indeterminate form of Apeiron or Alogon (irrational magnitude as the internal ordinal number that is odd-even at the same time). Aristotle says this can not be true since the number 2 is not unique to any particular form and so Form Numbers can not exist. Form Numbers contradicts number as a comparable unit non-differentiated abstraction.As Aristotle points out you can have two units come into existence at the same time and therefore are not "non-comparable units." Yes this is the secret of noncommutative phase! Quote No "hot" means we can't tell "cold" - both arise at same time.

vonkrankenhaus Posted December 27, 2018 If people see YinYang as "two" - they must know "simultaneous" and not a "linear causality" "timeline" - and also not assume reversible or "symmetrical" or mirror images. Zhou Dunyi says "Yang is Motion, Yin is Rest". This means all movement is Yang. The polarity Light/Dark is an example: Dark is not the "reverse" of Light. Dark is the absence of Light. This understanding applies to all YinYang observations at all levels, where we can see polarities happening within or alongside other polarities, etc. -VonKrankenhaus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
