Dr. Sten Ekberg confirms that slowing down the EXHALE activates the Parasympathetic Relaxation energy

As I state in my training pdf - holding the breath after exhale activates the parasympathetic vagus nerve - this vid by Dr. Sten Ekberg confirms this

Are we just biological machines of a great Matrix Computer? Reimagining the human (science article)

well the truth of the Self is not to be dismissed as we all have to go into deep dreamless sleep every night. Our minds and brains are fixated on external reality and so the question of who we really are is dismissed as a waste of time. So then we realize in deep dreamless sleep there is no experience of time nor space. Reimagining the human Eileen Crist - December 2018

And so one can ask - are we just "biological machines"? Most would not dare think of themselves as a machine even though this concept is now being promoted - that humans and life is simply a computer program of a computer Universe and we are all simulations of a Matrix machine. No the Self is from our ancient philosophy but it is as present as our I-thought. All our thoughts are based on the sense of Self from our I-thought.

And the I-thought can be considered also to be our sense of time as with number. So then the source of the I-thought is based on listening and the source of number is based on harmony since as we listen deeply then we hear the harmony of the Universe as the Self. Scientists have discovered this secret - Louis de Broglie called it his greatest discovery - the "law of PHase Harmony." But his Nobel prize is not for that, rather for discovery how all particles are really waves of energy.

Buddhism argues for No Self - No "I" - rather just impersonal action taking place through "interdependent origination." So the Self is actually based on "logically inference." We wake up in the morning and we are glad we experienced deep bliss from deep dreamless sleep but we do not ponder "who" had experienced it if we didn't know we experienced it while it was happening?

Science calls this "time-frequency uncertainty" but it reveals what is also called the 5th dimension - meaning the more we try to be precise about a frequency of energy or a momentum (direction and speed) of a particle - the more that the time in which it occurs becomes unknown (and vice versa). So then through deep listening or deep science the realization of the Self is that it is harmonizing our reality from the future - eternally.

This is the great lesson of Abrupt Global Warming - that our very definition of life and reality is now being forced to confront the great Absolute Void of the Universe - what our ancient ancestors called N/om - a vibrating trance energy that is eternal and inherent to existence.

Later cultures called this the kundalini or python - it means a fire hole into the earth that creates a boiling steam as life energy. Aion was another name as Aeon - Time as Kala or Kali - the great creator and destroyer.

The case for a Lower Center of Gravity: Vagaries of Installing new stove legs!! Photos and vids

I'm gonna use 4 inch round head machine screws since a 4 inch stove bolt has to be specially ordered. Is that workable? Also what's the outer diameter on the inner and outer washers? I didn't see wide 1/4 inch inner diameter washers like that. thanks - it's a "fender" washer? 1/4" x 1" OD Zinc Plated Finish Low Carbon Steel Fender Washers, - ok that works.
This titanium stove has very similar leg angles that I also made!


I found the larger diameter fender washers at Home depot a few bins over from the rest of the washers. The o.d. is 1.25in. The HD part number is 2642 stamped on the washer up here in Canada. Not sure if it's the same in the US but look for 'fender' washers. Hope that helps.

@Dave's Bullets & Real Survival thanks! I was trying to read that number. Yeah machine screw nuts are 40 cents each!! So I'm getting probably $20 for the parts to make the legs. That's the only money I'll put into this stove so far - I used a waste basket - did you see my vids yet? haha. So I have a secondary air channel and baffle - get a rocket roar sound. So then is your inner washer in the stove - just a 3/4 inch I suppose for OD? Probably doesn't matter too much. I didn't think that bolts and nuts and washers would be so pricey. haha. Yeah they're called "coupling nuts" here - and then there's an assorted stove bolt kit for $2 - that has the half inch stove bolts. Well see what happens! thanks again - I'm going to Menards - not HD. I've had too many bad HD experiences. haha.

 

@Voidisyinyang Voidisyinyang ok, good luck with it all. Your design sounds very interesting. I will check it out. 👍


 

@Dave's Bullets & Real Survival I put the legs on! I wanted it to sit lower so it would be more stable. Also I have the extra stronger steel inside - so the stove should be cool enough as it doesn't get too hot on the outside. I should probably add a damper. I will post photos. I suppose I could always bend the bolts a little but probably shouldn't mess with them. haha.
 yeah I didn't visualize the angle properly but it should be off the ground enough - since again I have an extra layer of metal on the base inside the stove.
And there's nothing wrong with heating the ground - in fact you want to heat the ground. You just don't want to set the ground on fire....
Only he was measuring his legs to fit onto a platform base - unlike me.

I just felt that making the angle more narrow would make the legs more wobbly - even if the washers are not at an angle as much. The center of gravity is higher.  https://www.liteoutdoors.com/product/liteoutdoors-titanium-stove/
Hey look at that - same kind of angle I made on my stove legs!
 The position of the centre of gravity of an object affects its stability. The lower the centre of gravity (G) is, the more stable the object. The higher it is the more likely the object is to topple over if it is pushed. ... The higher the centre of gravity the more likely an object is to topple over if it is tilted.
So this definitely gets the stove off the ground enough to prevent any burning. And it's close enough to the ground to heat the ground - which is a plus.
And the legs are very stable. This ingenious design by Dave enables the legs to be taken off for easier transport in a backpack.
 Yeah I can just get 6 inch machine screws to raise it up an inch more.








So now the popcorn bucket - for cooking - is held firm between the legs - and that also stabilizes the legs better.




There you have it folks - the vagaries of putting on tent wood stove legs.



https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2020/01/vagaries-of-installing-new-stove-legs.html scroll way down for the images I took of the new stove legs! I wanted it to be lower center of gravity. So I'm happy with it but I guess I could get 6 inch metal screws if I wanted to. thanks again. This was fun - and only cost about $12.50




YES - I did have some warping at my smoke hole also - so that review completely makes sense. I'll see if I can add some supports or something.

Rick Beato on why adults can't develop perfect pitch - and my take on it

I was asked to respond to this vid

This is a fascinating vid to be sure. At first his son's perfect pitch ability appears to match completely the ability of savants or what is called autistic savants. In other words his son is having an "instantaneous" or automatic response without thinking - to give his answers as absolute perfect pitch.

But then Rick Beato argues that in actuality he knew to expose his baby son to complex "high information" music (classical and jazz) (vid) since the "unexpected" would force his son's brain to do a statistical prediction of what the pitch was - thereby "marking" the pitch relative to the other pitches heard. And therefore the absolute pitch is analyzed in reference to the set of 12 relative pitches (and their octave equivalences).

So Beato emphasizes that most of the brain growth is during the first two years and this is the only time when the brain has the proper plasticity for this type of broad range statistical analysis. So on a neurological level what Beato really means is that after two years - the synapse connections have been cut down by the brain. Ironically brain development means to "wire together" by "firing together."

So therefore is only certain sounds are heard then the brain will cut off all the other possible sounds - the 2000 phonemes (I think he gave that number). So he then points out that tonal languages more easily also develop perfect pitch since the same phoneme will also have four different pitches for example - and therefore the brain is forced to learn more relative pitches.

So we know from science that 90% of the brain growth happens during the first two years but we also know that listening to music is a right-brain dominant process (frequency perception is right brain dominant). Rick Beato uses the term "tonal colors" and we also know that visualization with color is also right brain dominant.  10 mns in on relative pitch vs. perfect pitch... vid

He recognizes them as units...He can recognize that that is an inversion of F Lydian because he knows that SHAPE in his mind....

So Rick then states how his son did not know the proper names or concepts for the pitches even though his son already had perfect pitch! Instead his son had memorized the perfect pitch based on favorite songs - like the theme song of Star Wars being a B flat chord.

So at this point I would like to interject with a similar example of what could be called a collective consciousness of Perfect Pitch - the Happy Birthday Song. Dr. Daniel Levitin points out that tests have shown people tend to always start singing Happy Birthday on the same note. Now based on Rick Beato's "training" - he would then have taught his son to "convert" the "happy birthday" song NOTE - into the NAME of that note. Therefore just as everyone subconsciously ALREADY knows the starting note of Happy Birthday - they simply need to be TOLD the name of that starting note. And then when they hear a note that reminds them of the same starting note of Happy Birthday (melody) then they will have perfect pitch of that one note - or absolute pitch of that one note.

Since Beato is obviously also training his son (vid) - then his ability was developed from close exposure and a strong musical environment - from birth to his current age.

So the great irony is that people in the West usually approach music as a technical training and so they are frustrated by Rick Beato emphasizing that adults can not learn perfect pitch - when Westerners view reality as a materialistic (albeit idealistic) context - such that the external world (in this case hearing) can be engineered on a technical level and "mastered." oops!!

In other words we are dealing with what has to be a subconscious learning process through an internal perceptual reality that as Rick Beato and his son prove (vid) - is "instantaneous." So a good model to explain this is the holographic brain model of coherent biophoton signals as learning. In other words at the speed of light then space and time are not experienced and therefore the information is "instantaneous." And in reality this is a self-organizing process that is not controlled by the individual but instead by the environment and the collective consciousness (or a cultural training that is more open-minded).

So Westerners are taught that babies are "dumb" and most be "educated" when in fact it's the other way around - the first two years is when the heart spirit holographic information learning is at the most coherent level - and this is how the brain can grow so fast. So unfortunately the typical modern Westernization learning process even starts with brain damage - the forced "cry it out method" that medical doctors tell the mothers to enforce on the babies.

So Perfect Pitch is only relative to the 12 note equal-tempered "language" and so can be learned similar to another speaking language but again the difference between that music requires the right brain to be dominant and therefore the spirit energy of the heart also to be dominant. There has to be an emotional purity and open-heart listening process - and THEN once those notes are learned they can be "transferred" into the conceptual 12 note equal-tempered system.

But why should someone be so keen to memorize the 12 equal-tempered notes anyway - when there are so many other notes? In other words - why should someone limit there ability - even in music - or for that matter limit the abilities of their brain and spirit? This is why for advanced spirit healing training - the person starts at age 9 -  like with the Kogi in the Andes or with the Daoists - or in Indian yoga training schools.

Certainly perfect pitch is a truly stunning skill and is a gateway to the "savant" skills in general - which leads even to the paranormal and spiritual skills of the yogi shamanic healing masters of reality.

We should all be proud of the unique relationship of Rick Beato and his son - and how he even documented his son's expose to "high information" music as a baby. And yet the secret of music still remains "untapped" - as Western music is still quite limited in its abilities. So to be so focused for such an amazing skill of Perfect Pitch is quite an accomplishment but it may be unfortunately limited to the wrong system of music as a whole. This is why the "statistical" explanation is lacking - unless one were to invoke quantum statistics.

On a deeper level what we assume to be a random learning process with the brain "honing" and even pruning its synapse connections - there is actually a highly coherent synchronized harmonization that Louis de Broglie discovered as the Law of Phase Harmony - information-energy from the future, secretly guiding our present. What we perceive to be random is in fact just an after thought of the supposed entropy that we have left behind.

Cooked an Egg on Popcorn Bucket cooking surface & stand - new video with sound!! upload - corroborates the secondary burn no smoke design

video

proof that the egg finally cooked.

not quite done yet....

The cylinder stove is not rolling over or falling over!!

The popcorn cooking surface and stand is working!

no smoke... secondary burn is working amazingly well.

time to warm up some tea...

In this update I have added the rest of the popcorn bucket to create a cooking surface - and I test it out with cooking an egg. I am burning a "plant-based" charcoal from a disposable grill kit (provided free from Craig's List FREE). So it's cooking slowly but I think that is low slow cook. 
 
Amazingly the secondary burn that is smoke free kicked in almost immediately after starting - with the rocket roar! As I described in the previous vid - this stove design has a secondary air channel (inspired by the mass rocket stove batch design). So the cold air is sucked in and then the flame is redirected by the baffle - and the pre-heated extra oxygen creates a secondary burn of the smoke. This design was now confirmed to me with this test because when I opened the door then the cold primary air caused the duct chimney to emit smoke. 
 
So now with the popcorn bucket added to the waste bucket - I had standing legs and a cooking surface (with no drilling needed - and no bolts!). So also I have more metal to absorb and radiate heat. So this is a great addition or multiplier effect to this 2.4 gallon waste bucket portable backpack tent wood stove. 
 
This video has audio so you can hear the rocket roar and also my exclamatory surprise at seeing fire shoot out of the chimney, created by opening the stove door. After I closed the door then the fire went away and the clean secondary burn kicked in again. So the stove outperforms my expectations as far as a clean burn and now a cooking surface. 
 
Without the popcorn bucket then the cylinder waste basket wants to roll and fall over. So far the popcorn bucket has maintained stabilization. I will now go eat the egg. Thanks for watching! https://elixirfield.blogspot.com/2020... My blog has images of the egg almost done cooking. Scroll way down to see the new blog post. thanks

Reclaiming the Popcorn Bucket stove as cook surface, heat exchanger and support legs for 2.5 gallon waste basket tent backpacking wood stove

So I can heat up water or fry and cook food on that thin steel flat top - in contrast to the previously curved surface.

So then the side metal will also soak up and radiate more heat.

And so the nice thing is I didn't have to cut a new chimney hole - I just had to expand it a bit and turn it out the opposite way - to then slide on the popcorn bucket!

So then the support legs stick out just enough to stop the cylindrical stove from wobbling over and falling onto its side.

This makes me appreciate the popcorn bucket front door more - it works and the edges make a tight fit - so I guess I'll keep it for now since it matches the rest of the popcorn bucket!! And I'll keep the stove lid around in case I need to switch it out later.

So like I said - I just had to slide on the hole that I had already cut - presto! A moment of genius?

So then the grill barbeque - will keep the stove elevated enough to dissipate the heat off the ground in the tent. The tent will not have a floor - so no need to worry about the tent floor getting too hot. Only the concern is the ground catching fire - from roots or leaves.

I'll try to set up some side pieces of metal to "lock" this in better - I have more pieces of the barbeque grill set - I can just squeeze them between those side bars I think and that will "lock" in the stove better.

Here is a great shot of my now infamous design. So there is a partial baffle under the chimney flue uptake - forcing the flames back into themselves. The bottom metal piece creates a secondary burn channel to the back of the stove - due to the pressure difference from the heat in the back sucking in the cold air - and pre-heating the air. So that creates extra oxygen in the back for a secondary clean burn of the flame that has been redirected into itself. Pretty awesome how that design fell into place.

New Upload - Next to No Smoke Burn - DIY 2.4 gallon waste basket steel backpack tent wood stove - portable with baffle design

2.5 gallon tent backpacking wood stove from steel waste basket trash can with baffle - no smoke burn

I need to change out the popcorn tin bucket lid as the door - too flimsy - with the pot lid I have left around. The wood stove makes the infamous rocket draft sound - although my camera video was not recording the sound accurately - it kept breaking up. Maybe since the sound is more of a "wall of sound" - it challenges the frequency matching too much. Anyway the draft is excellent; once the paper and any wetness burns off then there is no smoke from the chimney! The stove gets way too hot to touch. So I need to make a stand for legs and to have a platform for boiling water or cooking. I have a heavy metal liner that covers 2/3rds of the stove - the bottom.

There are a ton of DIY wood stove vids on youtube - mainly either rocket stoves or rocket mass heater stoves or 5 gallon bucket stoves or duct "end cap" stoves - and a few beer keg stoves and a couple popcorn tin bucket stoves - and of course ammo stoves - and I saw one dutch oven wood stove - and a trash can stove - and 1 gallon paint can stoves and 1 gallon coffee can stoves (both hobo and rocket stoves).

I put a baffle in this - but it's just a partial baffle - to maintain and enhance the draft. A baffle is a shelf right below the exhaust hole for the chimney duct flue pipe. So the baffle forces the flame to turn back on itself for a more full burn and more heat retained in the stove. I am very pleased that the stove has next to no smoke and the rocket draft uptake sound - so the baffle is definitely working to force the flame for a secondary burn. 2.5 gallons should be small enough for a big backpack or bicycle pack - so this wood stove will be portable for camping on the fly. All the parts were salvaged and free - so I need some better parts for bolts, etc.

2.4 gallon steel waste basket (trash can) tent backpacking wood stove made!

So five hours later!! I have a tent backpacking wood stove MADE - it is fully functional but I have not tried it out yet.... maybe I'll climb the hill to try it out.

Above is the latch - again I salvaged from the Free Craig's List grill (the latch was part of the carrying box for that grill)....

Here is the door - it is the lid of the popcorn bucket. That popcorn bucket is way too flimsy metal - too thin. I will probably need to replace this door as it's very wobbly. But as I said - it is functional right now (although barely)!!

Wow this photo turned out better than I expected - so you can see the baffle I put in. I made sure the baffle is permanently attached. It doesn't really block the smoke but will delay it about half as much. This stove won't have as much of a draft - so the baffle can't be too much blocking. And I reused that heavy metal again to line the walls of the stove - and base.

Wow another great shot - this time you can really see the baffle. That duct pipe is in there SO tight that I could not pull it out. I will have to really pull hard.

Here was go again - so that will keep air space in the stove with the wood on the thick metal and the air coming in from the ends.

So again this was so tight a fit that I'm not sure I can even get it out!!

This metal is really shiny - so lots of reflections.

It looks like a crack but again it's so tight that the duct pipe must be pushing up against the metal that I had "peened" down.

The waste basket tent backpack wood stove!!

So now I need to make a stand - I have some things that work as a make-shift stand - from the grill set. I will need more duct pipe - and again I may want to use cookie sheets that are steel - and you can roll up. So lighter metal and can be rolled together for backpacking.

This stove is probably 10 inches high and 7 1/2 inches wide (diameter) ... the metal is way thicker and stronger than the popcorn tin - and also again I have that extra metal inside - so it should last a long time.

I'm proud of it - but the hinge did not work right. I just had to study how to attach the hinge and the metal popcorn lid is too flimsy to hold the hinge. So also - those popcorn tins with popcorn are $27!! Way too expensive! I got mine for free but I destroyed it accidentally. So I'm really glad that instead I used this waste basket. I found a similarly designed waste basket that sells for $40 -

Add a touch of simplicity to your bathroom décor with the Bath Bliss Wastebasket. This sleek, circular shaped wastebasket is crafted of durable stainless steel with a satin finish.
  • Perfect to give any small space such as a bathroom or office a modern feel
  • Measures 8" L x 8" W x 11" H
  • Metal
  • Imported
$20 - for a similar steel waste basket

So again that Popcorn Tin for $27 with corn syrup popcorn? What a rip off!!

So those dimensions come out to about 2.4 gallons - so there are LOTS of 5 gallon tent stoves on youtube DIY - but NO tent stoves of this size of a waste bucket - 2.4 gallons (HALF the 5 gallon size!).... there's also lots of 1 gallon paint can or coffee can wood stove vids. Again NO 2 1/2 gallon wood stove vids!!

I might have to post it - if I get it fired up. If it works. Then I can make a video of it. I'll try tomorrow.

I just did a tent-hut Two Dog stove night that was down to minus 25 celsius. Your point about 5convection heating the air instead of an open fire creating water vapor and co2 - excellent! I had never made that connection to why I like wood stoves so much - nothing better then drying off wet clothes in the winter. I'll test my new 2.4 gallon waste bucket stove tomorrow - need to make some legs. You clued me in on how to attach the hinge. I couldn't figure it out today - must have been the garage cold slowing my brain down. haha. Yeah when you say it's a "youtube trend" - indeed! So you got your ammo stoves, the paint can stoves, the 5 gallon metal bucket stoves, the beer keg stoves, the various rocket stoves, the mass heater rocket stoves - and even a few popcorn bucket tin stoves! I tried making one but the metal is way too thin. My door is the lid of the popcorn bucket - and it's probably too thin for that also.



Popcorn tin bucket tent backpack wood stove, part 2: the baffle and secondary burn lining

So continued to scavenge the Free Craig's List Barbeque grill I got - so this heavier metal protects the walls.

Luckily the dimensions of this metal fit perfectly - so I just MacGyvered it - as usual.


Richard Dean Anderson - Wikipedia


Richard Dean Anderson (born January 23, 1950) is an American actor and producer. He began ... Anderson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the oldest of four sons born to Stuart Jay Anderson, a teacher and Jocelyn Rhae Carter, an artist. ... Anderson came to fame in the lead role of Angus MacGyver in the hit television ...

 So this is such a snug fit that it does not move at all.

And now the stove is more than double in weight - so it's heavy metal to be sure.

Suddenly I realized - now I still need a door - or do it? I could lot it from the bottom with wood. But I still need to make sure the air flow is correct.

So I decided to remove the top connector - and use that as a baffle for the smoke exhaust - so I get a secondary burn for more heat and less smoke.

This is more cut out grill pieces for the bottom of the stove - for air flow underneath.

So then I cut out one more connector piece - after moving the first one - and so that is the baffle to block smoke, thereby forcing the flame back into itself for a re-burn. It's not all blocked - so I still have some draft.

Baffle from above.

I can adjust these parts as needed.

Let's see if I can still get the chimney pipe to fit in.

That was awesome! Just as I hoped - when I pushed in the duct flue chimney then it tighted up the baffle pieces snug against the side metal.

It's hard to make up but the upper left is the end of the chimney pipe going in from the top. Then there's a slight lighter color line diagonal that is the baffle below.

So from the outside it looks exactly the same as before - but now the stove without the chimney weights 3 pounds - still not too heavy for a backpack! The chimney pipe should double that weight but I could get some cookie sheets that are steel - roll them up and use those for portable light chimney pipe. I will look into the chimney design later.

Now I need to figure out the door situation.
