The Vagus Nerve as the secret Kundalini "wanderer" Snake N/om (original human culture) energy: OM and the vagus

Breath of Life: The Respiratory Vagal Stimulation Model of Contemplative Activity

The use of ‘OM’ chanting for meditation is well known.[5] Effective ‘OM’ chanting is associated with the experience of vibration sensation around the ears. It is expected that such a sensation is also transmitted through the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. We therefore hypothesized that like transcutaneous VNS, ‘OM’ chanting too produces limbic deactivation. Specifically, we predicted that ‘OM’ chanting would evoke similar neurohemodynamic correlates, deactivation of the limbic brain regions, amygdala, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, insula, orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate cortices and thalamus) as were found in the previous study.[4]

 Compared to rest condition the BOLD fMRI signals did not detect any significant brain activation during ‘OM’ chanting. However, significant deactivation was seen in the amygdala, anterior cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, insula, orbitofrontal cortex, parahippocampal gyrus and thalamus during ‘OM’ chanting [Table 1 and Figure 2]. The “ssss” task did not produce any significant activation/deactivation in any of these brain regions.

How to Hang a Door with Miscellaneous Free Scrap Wood? An Eco-Echo Forest Cultivation Update

So I'm sure I did this "all wrong" - I did watch several youtube vids. But I have a few rules about construction - NO measurements! No "leveling" nor "squaring"!! So overall I think this came out all too rectilinear!

You can see the stove in the back with the pipe going out. It's not really connected - since I am still waiting on the 5 inch to 6 inch "increaser." oops I meant:  Imperial 6 in. Dia. x 5 in. Dia. Steel Stove Pipe Reducer (the term changes based on how you will use the product!)

So the OSB (Oriented Standard Board panels) - it's too wide and I had spaces in the side walls behind the OSB. So I just cut the OSB and flipped it back and - presto! - side wall fill-ins!! The green sticker says $5. Habitat for Humanity ReStore "door."

yeah I didn't get a photo of the side wall "fill-ins" as I worked until dark and then I went for meditation. Then it started pouring rain - very hard rain - around 4 am - and continued raining.

So I also did another batch of cob but I added some S-type mortar (1 part portland cement, 1 part lime, 6 parts sand) and some hydrated lime - to the cob (horse manure, 1 bucket, 5 buckets of clay and 1 bag of sand - around 50 pounds).

So I filled in more of the air spaces. I'll make another batch of cob and also I have half a bag of pumice Perlite! (for insulation) - with another bag of S-type mortar. So I'll add strength to the chimney wall and also put S-type mortar around the front and on the OSB to protect it from mold.

So I made a Lime-Wash as a mix of hydrated lime and S-type mortar (so it would dry faster). So it looks more gray from the cement. But I'm not going for "looks" - rather functionality. So that chimney wall is the right corner - so the cob seems to be holding up well. Behind that wall I piled up a huge mound of 100 bricks for "thermal mass."

Yeah you can see the pile of bricks in that earlier photo - but I added more bricks to that pile.

So then one of the interior "long" walls still needed clay "slip" (clay sludge water mixed with horse manure). So I threw that on the wall and on the back of the OSB on one side. I can make more horse manure clay slip for the interior.

This Lime Wash is mixed with S-Mortar and Hydrated Lime and Horse Manure. Hopefully it didn't all wash off in the heavy rain!

So I did actually use a Forstner bit to make the "mortices" for the hinges - i.e. instead of a chisel or router.

So a "cordless drill" makes construction EASY but just eye-balling it of course makes it all look silly (as it is supposed to look). A mockery of a sham of civilization.

Other Side

I had never heard of a Forstner Bit before until I watched some youtube vids on hanging doors.

I just got a $10 one since I didn't need a big one to make door mortices.

that one there is $22.

So also mixing S-type mortar with Hydrated Lime and Cob is a very quick way to get "Man Hands" as after several hours I felt burning pain and looked down to see my hands covered in a kind of reptilian scale formation. haha. Hopefully they'll recover. I did soak the hands in water and tried to scrub (but I didn't want to scrub too hard). I guess I just waited too long to get the cement off. https://trulyjuly.wordpress.com/2017/05/25/construction-always-wear-protective-gear-cement-burns/

As the cement is eating through your skin, you only feel the real pain when the outer layer has breached. Alkali damage causes no heat and no pain until it is too late to wash it off. Now the cement reacts with the water coming out from your wounds. At this point it gets difficult to simply wash off the plaster, as the chemical reaction progresses: the article states that vinegar can be used to slow down a burn by neutralizing the cement’s alkalinity.
First brush off any dry cement, then rinse the affected areas with clean water for 20 minutes.

So I plan to just put rock wool around the chimney duct pipe - in that wall hole - and then when I'm not using the wood stove, then I'll just hide the duct pipe back inside the hut. That way the local retired county land surveyor won't give me more trouble! haha.

So I will fill in the remaining air spaces with the rock wool I have left over - plus another batch of cob. I'll have to buy a few more things. I'm thinking of getting a real chimney black stove pipe "elbow" off the stove - as it will be very hot. I guess it should be a 45 degree elbow.

Also I'll need to add drainage ditches outside with probably buried perforated drain pipe (as I did around the teepee.

I'll keep my eyes on Craig's List FREE items - I've seen perforated drainage pipe ONCE on there. Maybe I'll get lucky.

I loaded up a lot of free scrap wood - and the "door" I got at the ReStore (plus the handle). I lost the inside latch - it's probably around here somewhere. I did buy that new.

Yes I need to do more Forstner bit drilling on the top of the door as it's rubbing close to the hinge.

Hanging the Door was a pain since I had to "balance" it while trying to level it while also holding the drill and hinge and screws, etc. And again I just used SCRAP wood with NO measurements. haha.


So then I can get that insulation for the door seams - for any cracks in the door. But still I don't want the hut totally Air Tight as I need draft for the stove. I left a crack open under one of the front walls. So I also tried installing a damper in the duct pipe to use for air intake control to the stove. But the youtube video dude said to put the washer on the OUTSIDE of the duct pipe and a comment insisted the youtube dude was stupid. His response was "i've been called stupid before" - not the best response. So I had the washer on the INSIDE of the duct but the youtube dude was correct - it was OUTSIDE. Maybe because he had a speech impediment - then that's why someone called him stupid. Hmm.

So... anyway that crack will not control a 6 inch duct pipe intake anyway. I'll figure something out. I'm not too concerned as the hut has thick insulation and it does need air ventilation anyway. And it's small enough that even if it is "sucking in" air from all the cracks - at random - that should not counteract the insulation too much. Also the thermal mass should store a lot of heat. From what I read - with enough thermal mass then you can have cracks for air ventilation and it's not an issue.

"Quantum physics do apply to life. Entanglement means that there can be links of substances that have been attached somewhere. There is plenty of proof that also frequencies of substances can be imprinted on water. As crazy as this may sound, I personally do not want such links to other people. Such thinking is familiar to millions of people and there are traces of this in old cultural knowledge, too."

Dr. Selen Atasoy: Natural Resonance Harmonics of the Brain is now a proven empirical fact

 
So what Dr. Selen Atasoy discovered is that psychedelics increases the high frequency harmonics in the brain as does meditation but psychedelics also inhibits the low frequencies while meditation does NOT inhibit the low frequencies. This makes sense because meditation is based on a true infinite resonance of energy while psychedelics are an external "tool" that is done to the mind/body.

 In this episode, I discussed Connectome Harmonics and neural correlates of consciousness, specifically under the influence of LSD, mindfulness meditation and dream sleep with Dr. Selen Atasoy. Dr. Atasoy’s research explores brain dynamics in different states consciousness, including sleep, meditation, and psychedelic states, as well as in psychiatric disorders, by analysing fMRI and MEG data within the mathematical framework of harmonic waves. She has extensive experience working in experimental and computational neuroscience exploring neural correlates of consciousness. Currently, she is working as a postdoctoral researcher at Hedonia Transnational Research Group, University of Oxford.

Quote on meditation!

So silencing the mind in that sense would be referring to the meditative state. But I don't know if it's a fully correct way in describing the meditative state. The data that we looked at was Mindfulness Meditation so the subjects were observing their own thoughts and coming back to the breath. But it was still really remarkable to see that during Mindfulness Meditation, for naive subjects, as well as for experienced meditators, we observed that the red part of these connective harmonics actually broadened in a way. And certain harmonics most of which were high frequency, they were more powerfully expressed. And this was much much clearer in the case of experienced meditators. So the effect seems to be clearly there. And maybe it was a bit counter-intuitive. In that sense we would of expected meditation to have just quieted the brain activity and not expressed that many connectome harmonics. But that was the exact opposite of that. So it was a very surprising and interesting finding that certain harmonics increase their power when we meditate.
