The heart is called Yi [unified power] becuz when intent moves, spirit is agitated; qi is dispersed. Qi is the Mother of spirit; Spirit is the child of qi. The Mother as qi is the horse that guides/conducts the river chariot (yin spirit) in the water (yin jing). Once your mind is away from the lower Elixir Field, your Qi will be led away from it and be consumed. By gathering the Shen into the lower tan tien then the Qi follows it there. Light of eyes descend as Yang fire inner yin qi line
That's ironic since I realized the curve was so bad for my high school chemistry final that if I guessed on the multiple choice I would BEAT the curve!! I finished my final as fast as possible with a big smile on my face and I got a C in high school chemistry. Our teacher was terrible but I never liked the subject anyway....
I wonder if this fellow could have gone to West Point if only had had guessed and thus "beat the odds" of trying. hahahaha.
Above is my great-grandmother who took my mom up to Canada for six weeks when my mom was ten years old....
Frances Willard: As president from 1879 to 1898, she transformed the WCTU into the largest women’s organization in the world by 1890.
A 2020 study said statistically - no relation between alcohol and amyloid plaques
A 2023 study says alcohol both causes and protects from amyloid plaques as Alzheimer's disease
Long-term intake of high-dose alcohol can induce cognitive deficits and improve the activity of β-APP decomposition-related enzymes, increase Aβ content and deposition, and initiate AD progression,
Amyloid plaques proven to be increased by high dose chronic alcohol drinking
pronounced ethanol exposure, when started early in the disease before amyloid pathology is established, can worsen AD progression in an amyloidosis model.
AI says:
High-dose chronic alcohol consumption causes a significant portion of dementia, with studies indicating that up to 38% of early-onset dementia cases are directly linked to alcohol use disorders
Alcohol use disorders (AUD) are associated with a three times greater risk of developing all types of dementia. all types of alcohol use and increased dementia risk.
podcast with an anthropologist in Mexico City
I didn't realize that "love as an addiction" of co-dependency is "trending" right now... wow. It seems all of reality must be put through the Big Pharma cheese grater.
both "binge drinking" and "routine moderate drinking" are considered addictions yet both are interwoven with social dynamics... to relax after working hard...
If you want quality sleep - you are DEPENDENT on BEING QUIET to help settle your brain to turn serotonin into melatonin....
Why is one dependence worse than another if we are still dependent on a certain mental state of being quiet?.... Being quiet is actually allowing the foundation of reality to resonate in our brains and soul - nonlocality as noncommutativity....
The mental FEAR of Dependency can be worse than dependency itself since otherwise we are materialistic people dependent on material biochemical solutions.
The point of addiction is not being in control and embracing being out of control.... but the FEAR of Dependency reflects the NEED to be in control....
Kidney is fear in TCM due to glutamate processing in the brain - and left-brain dominance represses the subconscious kidney fear....
Kidney fear is tied to UNconscious trauma as pain in the brain - damage to the dopamine neurons in the hippocampus....
Glutamate is activated as a co-transmitter in dopamine (DA) processing primarily within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and its projection terminals in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell... Glutamate is thought to assist in loading DA into synaptic vesicles via VGLUT2, increasing the density of DA release.

So GABA drugs that increase GABA activation like alcohol and Benzos - cause the body to stop naturally producing GABA....
Caffeine increases glutamate via the adenosine receptor agonist....
Glutamate is activated or released in conjunction with adenosine processing primarily in the extracellular space of the central nervous system (CNS), particularly during high-frequency neuronal activity, metabolic stress, or injury....Adenosine acts as a neuromodulator that regulates glutamate levels through a homeostatic feedback loop involving neurons and astrocytes...During high-frequency neuronal activity, ATP is co-released with glutamate. This ATP is converted into adenosine by extracellular nucleotidases, which then binds to A1 or A2A receptors to regulate further glutamate release.....During injury, high levels of extracellular glutamate are produced, which subsequently enhance extracellular adenosine production, leading to A2A-mediated excitotoxicity....adenosine A1 receptor activation acts as a negative feedback mechanism, blocking the initial release of glutamate induced by hypertonic stress
The anthropologists point is that the social cohesion role of dependency is more important than the individual isolation of not being dependent - such that dependency is a cultural cohesion that overrides the individual control of isolation....
But that above dynamic ignores the truth of quantum nonlocality as the foundation of reality....
coffee can raise cholesterol, but primarily when it is unfiltered. Natural oils in coffee beans...capsaicin in cayenne lowers bad cholesterol....
"We overdose often because we are alone...because we isolate people so much..."
Fasting or a special diet can be a collective thing....but people in the U.S. - "middle class" - spend a lot of time alone.... Everyone is addicted to something....
In terms of Mahayana Buddhism we could argue that "being quiet" or hypofrontal syndrome is a left-brain addiction to logical inference that is not falsifiable inherently... it reifies logic over the empirical realm of matter. Yet if all of matter is made of photons then consciousness as spirit inherently creates new matter also....
Wow no leaking at all anymore! I drove it hard today also - so if it was going to leak it would have done so. I did a hose repair - I cut a hose line (for transmission) - and found two hose clamps. It took me an hour of serious origami hand torture to use a hose clamp pliers and socket hand driver to tighten the hose clamps. After I was done I looked up power steering line replacement and it was NOT what I had fixed! I realized I must have been fixing the brake lines? But now I realize it indeed was the Power steering RACK line...!!
The repair I did seems to be working - I didn't lose much power steering fluid today. I also added Titan Seal Leak for power steering lines - as silicone repair of seals...
So in the above photo he takes apart a lot of the vehicle to get at those power steering RACK lines...
What I did was literally use my "pianist hands" to maneuver a hose clamp inside that cross beam or whatever it is....
There had been a branch jam into the car and I didn't think much of it - since I tend to think vehicles are indestructible. hahaha. I should have known better.... I did pull the branch out after driving with it on for a day....not on any main road but farm landscape work....
Selection for light skin tone at ten loci We found nine loci with genome-wide signals of selection for light skin tone, one probable signal and no loci showing selection for dark skin tone (Fig.%3h–q).
One of the strongest signals is an increase over time in the PGS for light skin pigmentation (γ%=%1.80%±%0.10 standard deviations increase in mean PGS in ten millennia; P%=%5.7%×%10−74; Fig. 4 and Extended Data
Fig. 9). This plausibly reflects selection for increased synthesis of vitamin D in regions of low sunlight in farmers with little of it in their diets
a PGS is a single numerical score that sums the effects of thousands or millions of different genetic variants (alleles)
"what is the velocity of the energy....so I have my amplifier, I fire a laser at it...some light comes out? Is it from my laser or my amplifier? Energy is fungible. Energy is energy."...
"No the energy that was already stored in the amplified as the inverted two-level atoms leaks out..."
If you assume there is no superluminal information as energy ...but how do you prove that is correct - how do you prove where the energy came from...
There are better ways of talking about the energy velocity ....
the propagation of the wave - a ripple and a wave packet envelope have two different velocities - the ripple is the phase velocity but don't worry about it.... the group velocity tells you where the energy is on average...
when the phase velocity is superluminal physicists said "don't worry about it."....
But when the group velocity was superluminal - physicists said "we must be missing something" and so... the information velocity is still slower than light - so causality is not violated....So then the energy velocity is also typically slower than light...
It turns out by their definition - in the case of a tunnel barrier or an absorbing medium where very little is transmitted, the group velocity maybe faster than C, the information velocity is never faster than C and the energy velocity is much slower than C since most it is absorbed or reflected back...
Can we make the energy velocity high? In the transparent case of an "on resonance" - the energy velocity turns out to be superluminal - faster than light!!
So now we need a better definition for the actual propagating energy to maintain causality....
"We know it can't be faster than light" but there are different ways of defining it...
four velocities - a technique of "constant fraction discrimination" as 1/2 of the maximum amplitude...that's the definition of information velocity. Then there's the "front velocity" - the speed of light as the ultimate information velocity of d/c
It's the difference between physics and math - physics is based on precise experiments.... and the story behind it is not rigorous....
If in mine reference frame if it is superluminal than in another reference frame it is backwards in time - violating causality.

The dwell time or excitation time - the amount of time the atoms spend in the excited state - was also in negative time as "on resonance."
there are "several times" not just "a time."
Operators correspond to observables... the limit corresponds to position classically...
Measuring time has different definitions...a "time scale" can be negative but not "time itself" ...
Time measurement is not an operator... the things we measure are a function of time... so we can't measure time itself... so measuring time is always indirect... time itself is not an "observable property."
so we have to define what is the "constant" as the "unit" - a "click of the cesium" is a second...
there's an "intrinsic uncertainty" - not just a measurement disturbance... in quantum physics...
It is time-frequency uncertainty.... that is less than Heisenberg's uncertainty principle...
the more you "open the aperture" the more you disturb the momentum (mass direction and speed) but you get precise position and vice versa and the limit is inherent to the measurement process (not what you are measuring with)... Heisenberg Uncertainty:
the smaller a particle is, the lighter it is (with less weight) and therefore the WORSE the position resolution - that does not exist classically.
Yakir Aharonov emphasizes time symmetry. So in weak measurements can go backwards in time and the future informs the past. Steinberg says "he finds this difficult to believe."
"the uncertainty principle can't help you with negative time"
the "wave theory" - de Broglie-Bohm quantum physics - as a nonlocal "hidden variable" does explain negative time....
Bohmian mechanics ADDS something because it takes about the "hidden trajectories" along the way...
and the weak measurements corroborate that the trajectories are real - and not just probabilities.
1/2 spin is a mathematical law but we don't understand the physics underlying the nonlocality of it....
except it is noncommutativity!!
