Listening to the Future via noncommutative phase harmonics as energy healing

The Yuan Qi is cosmic qi that is both inside and outside you at the same time. So it is not you that generates the qi but rather the source of the high pitch sound is qi that is an eternal listening process from the future. So any perceptions or sensations by "you" actually happen in the past as a doppler shift from the future. So the higher pitch sound then resonates the whole brain as ultrasound which resonates the microtubules of the neurons which then rely on energy from the future. This is also how bird migration works - via quantum entanglement that is from the future. So the highest pitch sound we hear EXTERNALLY is actually from the past while the internally listening into ultrasound is from the future. This energy from the future then creates a subharmonic amplification that is signification. That is heard through the heart as a loud OM sound but also resonates the brain and gut - via the Earth's schumann frequency or resonance.

So you do not want to rely on sensation or perception but rather eternal listening is logical inference of the origin of sound via internal listening. It is the FUTURE phase harmonization with the past that then does a phase conjugate cancellation of any frequency that is heard in the past as tinnitus (or any other energy blockage).

 So the quantum frequency of light goes up as the matter increases but the mass stays the same since the relativistic mass as momentum goes into negative frequency (as time from the future)

EcoEcho Spring Forest photos: The meditation khuti and more!

So I cut out the bottom of this Kelty Camp Cabin. It was a tent I bought a couple years ago but the design was experimental and discontinued. One of the poles had broke already and I got it repaired at REI but that required a lot of driving. The zipper also busted and I could repair it. But instead I left the tent up over the winter with a tarp over it - and the snow destroyed the poles. So here I McGyvered the poles and cut off the cordage and tied it up to the Wilderness Lodge tarp cords - PRESTO - a Meditation Khuti tent.

Khuti is the term in Theraveda Buddhism - originally they just used their huge umbrellas as a makeshift tent - in southeast asia - the wandering monks. So here I cut out the tent floor so I get the direct Yin Qi Earthing or Grounding. It's gotta dry out and maybe some more grass will grow back.

I showed this to my mom and she said Bloodroot and I said - oh yeah! and I looked it up - yep. These are prolific in the mini-forest and they're native to the area.

does anyone know what this is? I know it's pretty. I'm still looking it up.

I need to identify this shroom also.

I have my shroom book for the Midwest - so it should be pretty easy.

I guess this is just a violet as the color of its flower.

This is the tropical songbird nest that I discovered with the bird building it. We looked at each other. Then the next day it was a long cold rain all night. The day after it was sunny and the bird was back at building the nest. I'm not sure what kind of bird yet - I think maybe a Vireo. The nest is only 7 feet high and about 10 feet from my tipi.

I got 30% recharge onto the generator even though it was partly cloudy! that's cuz these are old skool cells - the newer ones don't work as well in low light conditions. When it was super bright sun then I didn't turn on the charger controller and the generator got over-charged by the solar panels! Oops. But it recovered.

On a rainy day then I used the Silverfire Survivor Rocket Stove that only requires twigs to generator a lot of heat. The wax was smoking so I left the door open on the rocket stove to cool down the fire.

So it's not much of a work station but I had experimented with a clay-horse manure- lime concoction as a floor. It still was not dry but it also stopped any sparks. That back plastic floor offgases a lot of toxic fumes - so luckily it was windy that day and the windows are open in the back for a cross breeze. The drill is on the logs. So I just reach over the wax - after I drill the logs and inoculate with sawdust spawn.

on Bigu and Ketosis as jing: 12 pounds lost in 6 days

https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2019/05/how-to-lose-12-pounds-in-one-week.html

Scroll way down for the details of one week of mushroom farming meditation forest cultivation in the Spring Forest Qigong hermitage.

So when I got back my jing energy was very strong but since I then had to interact with people then I ate food. When I switched back to glycosis then my jing energy immediately went down (measured by the deepness of my voice). Ketosis is well-known to be a more productive form of energy.

So I meditated full lotus 2 to 4 hours a day while also doing intense physical labor.  https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/mind-guest-blog/the-fat-fueled-brain-unnatural-or-advantageous/?redirect=1

Quote

ketone bodies that the liver derives primarily from fatty acids in your diet or body fat. These ketones – ?-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), acetoacetate and acetone – are released into the bloodstream, taken up by the brain and other organs, shuttled into the “energy factory” mitochondria and used up as fuel. Excess BHB and acetoacetate are excreted from urine, while acetone, due to its volatile nature, is breathed out (hence the characteristically sweet “keto breath”). Meanwhile, blood glucose remains physiologically normal due to glucose derived from certain amino acids and the breakdown of fatty acids – voila, low blood sugar avoided!

So as that link notes - there is neutralization of the free radicals.

What I have noticed for me is that the normal glucose diet free radicals also go with an increase in anaerobic bacteria. So then the qi produces an internal tingling to neutralize the free radicals and anaerobic bacteria. With the fasting as Bigu while burning off fat (ketosis) this internal tingling still happened but it could be minimized with more meditation.

How to lose 12 pounds in one week: EcoEcho Forest Cultivation update: Spring Forest Qigong meditation

So I had a wonderful time hanging out with the newly arrived Neo-tropical Forest songbirds after we had a torrential downpour. My "fortified" Wilderness Lodge tent held up excellent with the polyester-silicon tarp to protect against precisely such a heavy "dogs and cats" storm. And then I was doing energy feasting qigong meditation the whole time, drinking tons of Berkey purified water (after I hand-squeezed the water through a Sawyer filter). So when I got home I got on the scale and amazingly I had lost 12 pounds!

So actually it was just a 6 day fast - I had fruit on Thursday morning plus some "normal" breakfast and I plan on having dinner tonight. But this is the longest fast I've done on my own - except for my original "bigu" fast back in 2000 when I had my "enlightenment experience" that opened up the third eye - with the energy of Spring Forest qigong master Chunyi Lin

So I actually made a couple new bird recordings - of the Swainson's Thrush which is considered the "reverse Veery" and then the Veery couple returned (as they have every summer since I bought this land). And so I have a third recording of the Veery together with the Swainson's Thrush. I recorded this at night - or Shaolin style - early morning. It must have been around the time that qigong master Chunyi Lin wakes up for his qigong and tai chi - around 4:30 am. So I'll work on editing the sound - as my record still had a lot of background noise. I am still learning and experimenting with the Tascam.

So the noise I got on the Tascam was because it was too close to the AC adapter on the lithium generator!! 

So I finished the first batch of logs for Soltree Shiitake Shrooms. I amazingly just finished up my first bag of mycelium sawdust spawn with the last log - I just have a little bit left that I am saving. So now I'll start the 2nd bag of sawdust spawn as I start inoculating the alder logs. I also have photos of this work but I'm not sure it's that interesting. I converted that new free tent from Craig's List into my "work station" for rainy days - and I used the SilverFire Survivor Rocket stove to melt the wax. That worked very well as only twigs are required and then it goes to ash quickly as I prepare the next log. I am working at a very slow rate but I'm not in a hurry as the focus is on forest cultivation as a whole.

So I was wondering how many of these new songbirds would stick around or migrate elsewhere. Then we got a cold - just above freezing - all night rain. Not a downpour but the next day the mosquitoes have vanished! And we only had one day of mosquitoes so far so I was very concerned for the birds. Even our local weatherperson had announced that it was because the Arctic is melting that we've had such a cold spring. But the next day the sun was out in such full blast that I actually got sun burned! And sure enough it seemed the songbirds survived. One small songbird had been making a nest mainly composed of birch paper - just ten feet from my tipi and about 7 feet high - and we eyed each other. I feared that storm had scared it away, if I had not yet. But sure enough it was back building its nest some more when the sun was out.

So then I took photos of three new spring flowers on the forest floor. I saw a couple bees so hopefully they'll find some nectar (unlike the bee I saw almost a month ago frantically looking for some flowers). Also I saw one of the tree frogs down in one of my little creeks or waterways. I hear them loudly every night but rarely seem them. I saw a few caterpillars also. One I moved off my tent - and a second was in the mouth of a chickadee - as it snatched up the caterpillar right by my tent. But I didn't see any butterflies this time. 

So I have to identify those flowers that I took photos of and also study the caterpillars more with the butterfly cycles. Also the birch trees I cut have lots of black powder on the bark - from black mold. I learned how the mushroom cultivators commented on this black mold. So I will study just how serious of a problem that is going to be but my bag of spawn didn't have any black mold even though I had been "contaminating" it with my bare hands for weeks. So I think the shiitake shroom is pretty resistant as the mushroom fights off the other competitors in the forest. I know from the shiitake I grew before - they fruited out of a tree that was covered in green moss and other mushrooms also. 

 You basically just soak straw [LOGS] for 12-24 hours in a bath of cold water that has been treated with hydrated lime.
The lime will rapidly and dramatically increase the pH of the water, causing the mold spores, bacteria, and other contaminates in the straw to be killed off.
https://freshcapmushrooms.com/learn/lime-pasteurization/
Once drained off, the substrate has a low concentration of living contaminates, giving mushrooms the upper hand.

I haven't tested it, but I'm guessing it's a combination between the substrate pH coming back down to earth after being drained AND the mycelium's natural ability to be resilient in high pH environments.

Hydrated Lime (about 6 grams per gallon of water used)

  Completely immerse in the lime water solution for about 2-4 hours.

• 45 gallon drum with fresh water and add 4 cups of Calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) or Calcium oxide (quicklime) with stirring. the American Mycological Society recommends dissolving approximately 4 cups (roughly 1 litre)
• Prepare straw as for hot water pasteurization above
• Completely immerse in the lime water solution for about 2-4 hours.
• Drain and immediately inoculate with spawn.
• One batch of lime water will treat about 20 Kg. of straw
• so 30 gallons Soak Tub 1 cup of hydrated lime for 44 pounds of log

calcium hydroxide works as a pasteurizer. Well, hydrated lime is an incredibly basic substance (in terms of pH, as in the opposite of acid) and therefore works by rapidly exposing the dormant spores and micro-organisms on the substrate to a solution which is in the range of pH 12 or 13. A soak lasting a few hours is sufficient to kill off possible contaminants through this violent change in pH.

 Well, my shiitake's still browning, but Chinese shiitake farms use lime pasteurization for their production, so I'm pretty sure it'll work.

 Alternatively, adding dry hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) to your substrate before mixing in your spawn will greatly harm the growing mycelium; this is why draining the substrate after it has soaked in the highly diluted lime water is an essential step in the process.

There are a number of things you can use for this, but by far the best is hydrated lime. The exact concentration is not critical, just a big double handful in a 55 gallon drum of water. Then submerge your straw, weight it down so it does not float, and wait 12 to 24 hrs. No longer, as you do not want to develop a bunch of lime resistant organisms, between 16 and 18 hrs is perfect. After soaking, drain the excess water, bag the straw and inoculate it with your spawn. 

 you can estimate with volume and use about 1-1.5 cups lime per 50 gallons of water.

So I sent photos to Field & Forest of the black mold on the ends of the logs - and this is the response I got:

This is an organism taking advantage of some readily available sugars and will not compete with shiitake.

Thank you once again to Field and Forest for their excellent customer service. This is what I had thought at first - that the Shiitake just has to compete and that is what makes wild shiitake taste better!

And I did some sungazing - and when the sun is not too low - then I see - after I close my eyes from sun gazing - I see a beautiful blue light with a larger green light around it and then red variations around the green. So I feel the third eye being activated from this experience. I never saw those rainbow lights before from "sun gazing" before my third eye had been opened up. 

So the Spring Forest qigong - I relied on the lithium generator to listen to the portable DVD player - for the Small Universe meditation that I did two to 4 hours a day. I had a lot of mushroom inoculation work since I had to carry the logs also and I also had to bail out water from all the rain - from my drain pipes I dug into the ground around the tipi. Anyway I did take Memorial Day to do a special drive up north to Lake Vermillion where my dad used to take us on vacation. It is the only Minnesota location for the Bureau of Land Management book I got free at the environmental center. 

One insight in my meditation that I will share - I had bought some more "private property" signs - and I really liked this one particular sign. Then as I tied it onto the particular Tamarack tree - I got this uncanny feeling. Suddenly it felt very familiar as if I had seen this whole image before - of that particular sign on that particular tree. I shrugged off the sensation and forgot about it. Until during meditation suddenly I remembered that last fall as I was pondering the forest before I left - I had a vision of the same precise sign on the same precise tree. At the time I had the vision I wondered why I was having this. I reviewed in my mind if I had seen such a sign in such a "similar" location before? No - obviously not. So I had dismissed that vision as a strange oddity - it had just been an image that had popped into my head. I didn't give it another thought except only to wonder at the mysterious of why it had popped into my head, seemingly for no reason. Now I know why. It had been a waking precognitive vision. Good article on the native culture of this area 

 And ceremonies are held frequently — “a lot of healing ceremonies,” said Goodsky, who leads many of them. “There are a few healers left and herbal people,” such as Goodsky, who practices traditional herbal medicine. “A lot of non-Indian people come to get herbal medicine” as well.

Amazingly I discovered what I conclude to the house my dad was born in! He used to always say he was born "on a kitchen table in Cook, Minnesota." And my grandfather, I learned from my mom, was the Convenant minister for both the west and east side of Lake Vermilion - so he would drive to two different churches. So the Convenant church in Cook Minnesota has a house close next to it with the church sign on the house land. As is common, the church provides a house for the minister. So I conclude that is the house that my dad was born in. I found that to be an excellent Memorial Day discover as it's such a great origin story and I always wondered what this mystery house was like in Cook Minnesota where he had been born on a kitchen table!

I was wondering about the native origins of one of the Lake Vermilion bay names:

Wakemup was the anglicized name of an Ojibway chief, Way-ko-mah-wub, a signer of the 
treaty or agreement in 1889, whose village was at the southwest side of 
that western bay. 

Healing Psychic Frustration from the Emptiness Energy EcoEcho Forest Cultivation tipi meditation session

So we had hard rain since last night and I was in full lotus meditation all morning. Then I decided to call my mom on a whim. Normally I call her in the evening but I decided to make sure she was o.k. Then my phone did something strange - it played some local music channel and said I missed a call from her. Anyway so I call her and she thought I was calling her back! Turned out she had called me while I was turning on my phone, waiting to get a signal!

So then I drove back to help her out with something and now the problem is fixed. But I thought that was a very strange synchronicity. Yet that is precisely how the Emptiness Energy works - she told me on the phone that she was very frustrated. And so her emotional energy made a psychic connection with my own energy, causing me to want to call her - even though I did not know the reason why I called her. Since I had been meditating all morning in full lotus then I "acted" out of the Emptiness into an energy EcoEcho healing.

the potential condition of the Natural Principle, the Gunas are in a state of equality (Samyavastha), that is, they are not affecting one another. But, as Mulaprakriti is essentially movement, it is said that even when in this state of equality the Gunas are yet continually changing into themselves (Sarupaparinama). This inherent subtle movement is the nature of the Guna itself, and exists without effecting any objective result. Owing to the ripening of Adrishta or Karma, creation takes place by the disturbance of this equality of the Gunas (Gunakshobha), which then commence to oscillate and act upon one another. It is this initial creative motion which is known in the Tantra as Cosmic Sound (Parashabda).

https://www.sacred-texts.com/tantra/sas/index.htm

So what makes this Cosmic Sound different than the Vedic analysis is the mathematical cosmology on which is based! The Vedic cosmology relies on "divide and average" math that tries to "contain" infinity using geometry. The original "three gunas" is based on pure number as noncommutative phase harmonics - the complementary opposite ratios that are truly "non-dual" and yet eternal motion.

Unboxing the great Concrete Rubble Cob wall aggregate Free score for slip form Kang Bed-stove primitive Wattle and Daub (cob) hut building

So this morning I invested in 100 pounds of Hydrated Lime - not the garden hydrated lime that sells for $1 a pound but the construction hydrated lime that sells for .20 cents a pound.

As the local neighborhood housing boss just asked me what it was for - I said yeah it's like cement only less intense. So it's less environmentally costly in terms of the temperature the lime got cooked at. The US hydrated lime though is cooked at a higher temp so it's not as reactive to water anymore. Or whatever.

Anyway let's look at the big haul of the day: My guess is this is about 600 pounds of concrete rubble:

But it's hard to say. I did take a tumble due to my boot lace unraveling as I stepped over their roof gutter. Luckily the haul, over 100 pounds, didn't land ON the roof gutter on the ground. Wow - that was a CLOSE one. haha.

So I can use this to fill the big ruts in the ground from driving onto the land - wetland.

AND I can use it as Cob aggregate.

Let's look at how I would use it as aggregate. I got a bag of quickcrete cement. I got the hydrated lime - that is like slow cement but it breathes (unlike cement) and it's more water proof than clay. I got a few bags of just Barn Lime (that does not react with the clay but it still does repel water. It just doesn't act as mortar)....I got the horse manure!

need a binder to hold them together and make them strong. For this reason a subsoil of no less than 15% clay is used as the crucial ingredient. Second, to further increase the durability of the bricks and to give them tensile strength, a fiber is added to the mix. This is usually straw or a sturdy grass, though other natural fibers can be used.

woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung...

Sand provides the heat storage capacity of the mass, versus the clay which binds the material together.

So with all those ingredients - I can do Slip Form building!

So it turns out that if you do a foundation of rock then you get less moisture since the clay breathes so much that it seeps in the frost too easily.

But the other thing to consider is that wet clay is a lot more electrically conductive - which is key for the Forest Cultivation of energy emptiness.

So it's just a gradient scenario.

A lot of these Cob concrete rubble images are for below ground foundations. But as I explained to the local boss - my land is like a geyser if you dig into it. No thanks. Don't get me wrong - I love the water. I'm just not gonna attempt a foundation again. I'm glad the land can't be "developed" (whatever that means).

So with the Kang Bed-stove itself you want MORE cement and MORE hydrated lime. So you have a 4 parts clay to 1 part cement and 1 part lime ratio. That is my understanding.

For the actual cob walls - you want about 10% lime at most and maybe just 2% cement - and then the horse manure straw and the clay - so the clay is about 80%. One recipe uses 1 part binder (lime-cement) to 2 parts clay to 3 parts straw. So normally you want a 3 parts sand to 2 parts clay but straw can take the place of sand a bit (apparently).

  Aggregates give the mix its bulk and dimensional stability through materials such as mud, sand, crushed chalk and crushed stone.  Reinforcement is provided by straw, hair, hay or other fibrous materials, and helps to hold the mix together as well as to control shrinkage and provide flexibility.^[5]

So the straw is for insulation while the clay is for heat absorption and radiation. 

Closely spaced upright sticks or poles driven into the ground with small branches (wattle) interwoven between them make the structural frame of the wall.

 The wattle may be made as loose panels, slotted between timber framing to make infill panels, or it may be made in place to form the whole of a fence or wall. The technique goes back to Neolithic times. It forms the substructure of wattle and daub, a composite building material used for making walls, in which wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung and straw. Wattle and daub has been used for at least 6,000 years, and is still an important construction material in many parts of the world.

So obviously I'm not making a stone wall. But rather a cob wall with some rocks in it.

So this is much more what we are looking for - nice thick walls for insulation. The rock is for the foundation. Lots of straw. You can see I have the Scythe to haul up north - so I can harvest more straw when I run out of horse manure. The horse manure works amazingly well as it's the perfect length of straw.

I also am bring up a - what's it called - trimmer? clipper? A Lopper! Wow I learned a new word! I'm surprised.

A tree lopper that I'll use to cut the willows for the Wattle and Daub framing.

Pretty amazing!!

Maybe I will use those railroad ties - left up there. Kind of rotting but mainly not.

I would have to just lay them horizontal since again I absolutely do NOT want to dig post holes as they'll just fill up with water and create little lakes.

Many of them constructed of a small diameter timber frame atop a stone foundation.  The earthen plaster was largely cracked and crumbling revealing a riven wattle and daub framework underneath.  Their remaining small diameter polewood rooming members were in clear view, topped by fired clay ties.  Most of these materials still retained their legacy as products harvested from traditional coppice management. 

Sounds perfect!

 So build a mini version of this.

Let's look for "mini" versions of similar design.

So this is smaller - STILL not small enough. But it gets the point across.

This is a little bit smaller than what I'm thinking of - so that's the closest definitely.

The walls of a cob house are generally about 24 inches (61 cm) thick

Not that tropical "cob-lite" stuff. haha.

still too big but has the stone foundation.

  without a grate fuel could not be burnt completely. ...The improved stoves have grates with reduced combustion chamber and controlled air inlet and passage to kang. An area ratio of 1:1 for bars and gaps in grate is strongly recommended to ensure adequate primary air.

Funny - I was just wondering why the Kang bed-stove had to use a grate above the fire - why not just a hole? Sure enough - if the grate opening is not big enough then the fire doesn't get enough oxygen from above.

The suspended kang is installed above the ground and so radiates from top and bottom surfaces.

Exactly.

 When normal burning starts, the smoke flow velocity reaches 3m/sec in the channel. The high temperature smoke flows into the kang, spreads out and its velocity drops quickly to about 0.1 m/sec after 1-1.5 metres in the bed. Due to turbulence the smoke fills the spaces and has time to transfer its heat.

 Thus the construction materials must be good heat absorbers and conductors, have mechanical strength and long life and be available at affordable prices. Concrete is the first choice for the kang top followed by clay adobe.

 According to research at Tongji University, “The Chinese Kang is an ancient integrated home system for cooking, sleeping, domestic heating and ventilation. It is still widely used today in nearly 85% of rural homes in northern China. In 2004, there were 67 million Kangs used by 175 million people.”

https://www.permaculturevisions.com/tag/recycling/

So this article is arguing for the Rocket Stove over the Kang bed-stove?

I'm thinking maybe I should try using my Hunter stove - as I wanted to!! Yes a cleaner burner - and it's insulated. Paul Stamets thought it would not have enough "force" to heat the Kang bed - but I think it's worth a try.

 Insulation in a firebox is vital for conserving energy. As a result, the outer area of the stove stays cool. Only the flue heats up. In well insulated stoves, the energy is concentrated on the cook-top.  In China, locally made mud-straw bricks surround their stoves.  Sand or ash in the mud-brick can ensure even higher insulation-rates.  The Kang utilises the residual chimney heat. The chimney gases travel from the cooktop through the wall and fan out along a set of tunnels under the bed in the next room, then up a chimney on the next wall. Unlike the insulated stove, the bed has plenty of thermal mass, and the mattress is thin. So, the bed is toasty warm up by the time the dishes are washed.

 

So it's not an "either/or" argument. 

OK FASCINATING!!

A white man tries to build a wattle/daub hut but goes against the circular wall design - and then his roof sags from too big of area.

 https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2019/04/operation-green-skin-african-west-asian.html

That's my previous blogpost.

http://rla.unc.edu/Mdvlfiles/ma/Lacquement%202004%20MA.pdf

That's a master's thesis with the white man design roof sagging!! too funny. Oops.

The original human culture uses a CIRCULAR wall design for a reason and not just in honor of the female energy.
