This is a riveting read! What I found fascinating is that to determine if other animals sleep we look for the strong amplitude spikes of slower frequency wavelengths. Animals that need to sleep on the move or always be alert have high rates of "paradoxical sleep" (light REM sleep) while animals assured of protection (like bears) have deep dreamless sleep, with strong amplitude spikes. The author's argument that REM was monophasic -- arising from the cerebellum connections as an evolutionary transition to more deep, restorative sleep, is fascinating. So infants have more REM sleep because they need to be able to wake up more often for fast growth and since they have little protection, the same for fish, birds.
Until the book it's been thought that REM was necessary for long-term memory storage, which appears to be more of a combination of REM with other factors while the "monophasic" use of REM is primary. The author presents that amazing evidence of a patient who had next to no REM and had amazing long term memory capabilites. The author's discovery that repression of traumatic memories was the key to restful sleep is amazing since it goes totally against Freudian psychology! So the practice is to never discuss the trauma! On the otherhand it presents an argument for the legitmacy of secrecy regarding experiences that are classified in "parasomnia" realms. The "silent channel" tactic to enable restful sleep during war is also fascinating.
How genetic factors tie into nacrolepsy and how the hypothalamus is tied to somnambulism is also very intriguing. That somnambulism usually disappears after puberty and that somanambulism is also associated with traumatic dreams of "night monsters" and bizarre deviance sex behavior is also intriguing. From the perspective of yoga it is the strong amplitude, high frequency paradox that enables the awareness to leave the body while in a deep sleep trance state. So for the example of one parasomnia patient, who achieved lucid dreaming, and apparently had a dream of a future catastrophe (the Bhopal Carbide disaster), there is some indication that REM sleep can be utilized for astral travel as well.
yes it is nice to be able to blow off steam. The CIA relies on people doing this - as a kind of political mechanism. So as Chomsky says - the internet is basically the same as people sitting alone in their apartments watching t.v. - silently like a zombie or even yelling at their t.v. (to blow off steam). Yes Chuang Tzu points out how humans talking is no different than any other animal noise. Do we understand what other animals are "saying"? Might as well be other humans making noise as well. haha. Still we all fall for this entertainment.
I would much prefer to hide in my room, meditating all the time. But that would be considered being lazy. One time I had people donating to me through paypal - for $20 I did eight hours of full lotus meditation. It was awesome. I got out about 8 sessions of 8 hours of full lotus meditation. But my family started freaking out. Essentially we can do exorcism of people through the energy - the void is a spacetime vortex. So if the energy is too strong then people freak out since they're having an exorcism against their will. Better to have ignorance as that is bliss.
Enjoy your Symptom! is the psychoanalytic phrase for this - so that the person has to learn on their own, slowly, their own energy blockages. AT death we all get a great chance to merge with the real Emptiness of the Universe - called the Absolute Void.
I've seen the qigong master actually healing GHOSTS - that were stuck here on Earth due to their lower emotional (electrochemical) blockages. Literally we live in "hell" in present time based on our spirit frequency blockages in our body - our lower emotions. The liver is anger, the kidneys are fear, the lungs are sadness. Smoking causes depression for example - so people in the West don't realize that lower emotional blockages are electrochemical energy. Alcohol obviously causes anger. Caffeine causes fear. Sugar kind of causes all of them. Anyway good luck with your tweeting. I check out a few twitter accounts on occasion.
yes books definitely find us. So the strange thing is that "spiritual powers" are only by resonating with the Emptiness (cosmic mother, void, etc.) So in other words - we can find all the answers we are looking for if we focus and visualize by listening to the source of our question. So for example precognitive visions are MORE REAL than "being awake." This is very trippy - to then experience the future again (what some might call deja vu). But remember I just said that the "vision" was MORE REAL - more vivid, more alive - then the "present" that re-experiences the vision! I met this Chinese qigong master - I mentioned this story already. I had not connected my vision to my experience of her qi energy. In other words - she filled the room with qi and I felt it very strongly. So I had been vegan and exercising a lot and I was young, working hard, etc. So I resonated with her energy and I didn't realize she had activated my visionary state. So yes the two hemispheres have been strongly proven to be in many ways at odds. I discuss this in my 2012 book - that is free online. Essentially, from split brain studies, it's proven that the left brain will LIE most definitely in order to cover up what are perceptual gaps - the left brain will create the most delusional lies. Why is this? Because the right side vagus nerve (from the lower body) connects to the left side of the brain but NOT the other way around. The left side vagus nerve does NOT connect to the right side of the brain. So the left brain dominance is CUT OFF from our lower body emotional energy even though 90% of the signals from the right side vagus nerve are "afferent" (going TO and UP to the brain from the lower body).
Anyway so yes as left brain dominance we are all delusional and we have no idea that once the pineal gland third eye is fully open then reality is revealed to be the 5th dimension (the absolute void that radiates light). So for example when I fasted for 8 days while meditating - when I was 29 years old - then my qi energy kept increasing. As I mentioned I saw ghosts but also I smelled cancer. you know how dogs can be trained to smell lung cancer? So I didn't say anything to anyone - the qigong master Chunyi Lin said, "you know qigong masters can smell cancer, it smells like rotting flesh." This man who smelled like rotting flesh - he said he had traveled a long ways to get special healing. So I literally was wondering how ANYONE could stand to be in the same room with him, but I was way in the back and there were 200 or more people in the room!
So as the qigong master was in full lotus meditation doing healing - then the rotting flesh smell went away! I was very happy. We went on break though and I was in my room in full lotus meditation. Again I had been fasting for 8 days or so - my legs were going numb from so much full lotus meditation. But since my qi was so strong - then I just made "sword fingers" with my hands - pointing at my feet - and the qi shot out of my hands to then clear out all the numbness. But then I smelled the rotting flesh smell again - and it was from the room next to me. It was old cabins like 1950s style with thin walls for the room separation. So then I heard a lady and a man "getting down." So I literally could not believe how the lady could be in the same room with him. But then I realized what had happened. She was attracted to his qi energy that he had received from the healing. So she sucked it out of the man (as Westerners they did not realize the need for celibacy). So his rotting flesh cancer came back and NEITHER of them had any idea of what had just happened!!
actually what happens is that the human goes into the reptilian "death" reflex. It worked for reptiles but for mammals it is deadly. So it's not dopamine - it is an extreme serotonin "freeze" response of the right side vagus nerve (the reptilian unmyelinated vagus nerve). This is why rape victims do not struggle and then the predator can claim the victim (he/she) "wanted it."
No what happened is that the trauma is so severe that it is the same as getting the SHIT scared out of you. This happened to me in Alaska when I took the dogs out alone - and I came back to Studsie, the 19 year old, messing with me. He was standing RIGHT in the middle of the dog path - and he caused a HUGE pile up. The racing dogs are expensive but one dog was clamped onto the foot of another dog. I had to quick tangle the whole mess before the creepy Homesteader Mercenary "boss" got home. So I was pounding the skull of the one dog to get him to let go of the other dog's foot. The other dog not understanding what was going on, reached around and clamped into my arm. Luckily I had my snowsuit on plus long underwear. I did get a scar but the skin did not break. The scar stayed there are years though - on each side of the arm. So I get the dogs disentangled. Luckily I am still alone since I have to RUN to the outhouse as my bowels were letting loose. That happened because I had a "parasympathetic rebound."
So the trick of shamanic training is to stand with the knees bent so the thigh muscles get sore and the "shaking medicine" is that the dopamine and adrenaline get pushed to the extreme. Wim Hof breathing does this also - he proved in a science lab that he and his students can DOUBLE their adrenaline levels simply by extreme deep breathing (you need to try to FEEL your adrenal medulla with your stomach as you breath deep from below the belly button). So this is called "reverse breathing" in Daoist training. Anyway so then you hold the breath AFTER EXHALE - after doing 30 deep breaths. The breath retention AFTER exhale then causes the parasympathetic rebound. So the vagus nerve then "stores up" the energy - like an oscillator storing up a battery charge. You are "pumping" up to one extreme and then letting the energy flow into the battery (the vagus nerve parasympathetic stores into the lecithin of the neurons). So anyway that extreme serotonin then causes the body to flush out the shit but it also causes "samadhi" or the freeze reptilian response - trance as visionary state - the serotonin floods the brain.
