How to Extend to New Energy Structures
So how to use this? Tensions. Even strictly speaking from what is still a materialistic and increasingly more orthodox point of view, our neurons change shape, form new synapses or close down old synapses due to tensions built up by quantum influences, probabilistic balancing, observation. Tension is just another word for state of being, frame…

Get Grounded in the Body
The working mechanism is holographic. The process of realization is the reference stream. Left to itself it’s blank of information, very bland, but has the innate potential to be responsive, and what it’s responsive to is the working beam of consciousness; imagination and idealization. Why imagination doesn’t do more than it seems to do is…

Weird and Crazy
I’m pleased I kept my chest trouble under control during class. Your chest trouble? In my efforts to integrate the function of my hippocampus with my more conscious brain, I accidentally cross wired my attentional control with my autonomic rhythms. So when I concentrate, my bodies natural rhythms go into overdrive and it feels like…

Alchemical Life
Life is a strange thing. Even today we have yet to establish a clear definition of life from inanimate matter. We know life to experience it, but there is no concrete physical trait that identifies it for what it is. There is one theory, though, that says that life is identifiable as a system of…

Evolutionary Pressures
Alchemists were very much students of life, and as much as they revered what appeared to them to be a naturally self perpetuating order in the world, they also observed what we now would call evolutionary pressures as is certainly in evidence. What is now commonly thought of as evolution can go to some very…

Intuitive Perceptions of Alchemists
The process of attaining the philosophers stone was always described as being very dangerous as the different elements required to refine it were poisonous in their individual forms not unlike salt is in modern thinking… Actually, the concept of salt had a much broader application in alchemy. The crystallized product of anything once distilled was…

Platonic Dynamics
Are these alchemical life forms considered to exist in the astral? Ah, indeed. In the region of platonic forms which could also be described as platonic dynamics. So their physical body in another dimension? Though in fact no static region exists. It’s more a field of general potentiation, root ideation, thus perceived beings there seem…

Array of Cognitive/Sub-cognitive Ability
What is your familiarity with empathy? Being able to feel the emotions another is experiencing. Have you experienced feeling empathy? I believe so. I think only from an imagination perspective, not sure if I have literally. I do think it takes imagination, which is why some people are not good at it. The brain and…

Empath Applications
As I said, each person has their own unique array of both cognitive and sub-cognitive abilities and we develop preferences for which of these systems we prefer to activate most. The preferred systems grow stronger and even broader, winds up having more generalized links to the rest of the system. Those systems we are disinclined…

Poorly Understood Ability
Sync to the emotion and then shift yours in order to shift what or who you’re syncing with? Yes, and you will find many authorities, so to speak, on psychic healing, even the credible ones who will describe it more or less in the same way. Though they confine it to healing, it’s not that…

Mastering Empathy
Mastering empathy would at first be especially daunting, because as much as our intellect would like to just restructure and redefine our every faculty, our bodies fortunately won’t let us go too far too easily, and a potential active emapth would have to learn to respect the internal landscape. It takes discipline which is especially…

Root Races
I was shown the page on root races. I found it very interesting. Excellent theosophical information. It is an interesting line of thought at least in an academic sense. No doubt a touchy subject. It can be seen as racist. That sort of thinking was much more common in Blavatsky’s era. I’m reading something of interest…

Chinese Internal Alchemy
Neidan is Chinese internal alchemy. It’s a Taoist practice originally, and has played a fundamental roll in their traditional medicine up to the present day. It could be viewed as a meditative practice, as opposed to waidan, which relates to medicines as we commonly think of them these days, herbs and such. The primary concern…

Chi, Shen, Jing
Chi and shen interact, and chi conforms to the behaviour of the structure it’s flowing through. Heart chi behaves differently than spleen chi, or kidney chi. The spleen is seen as the centre of the intellect. The heart as the centre of pure consciousness. Ah, wouldn’t that be heart shen and spleen shen? Ah no,…

Neidan Whole System
Neidan sounds like a comprehensive system. Indeed, wu xing is the cosmologic element of what is ultimately an integrated body of wisdom. Everything that occurs in the body is thought to reflect everything that can occur outside of the body and to resolve itself in the same way. So rather than there being a difference…

Strong Mind
First some questions, what makes a mind strong? Coherent patterns…? Adaptability. Other ideas? Creativity and expression. What makes thinking valuable? Does anything? Doing things the correct way for survival. Well, it allows us to make changes to make our worlds progress. Can you have a strong mind without having high value thought? Yes. How so?…

Absent Mind
They have discovered a gene they have linked to creativity, neuregulin 1, and variants of it are actually also associated with problems like schizophrenia. What do you think of this? It feels “right.” Creativity often involves going for the “edges” and beyond. Also, recently they have discovered two other related facts. In schizophrenia there is…

Whole Mind
So what does it mean to have a whole mind? A peaceful mind? Integration. What Jung called “Individuation.” Basically, acceptance of all parts of ourselves. We speak of digesting thoughts and ideas. Information. Which is a form of disintegration. Scientific method is itself ritualized disintegration. Why is it that we recognize disintegration as understanding but…
Category: Metaphysics of Science
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that focuses specifically on the concepts we use to understand reality itself, rather than what might be the best way to do something. Science was originally classified as a philosophy, in my opinion it still is, but many object to the notion that science is still a philosophy. They point at what they feel is proof that science possesses substance that philosophy doesn’t.
There is a schism between science and metaphysics that I believe would be well served by being bridged rather than having the bridge burned. Would you say that working toward a better and clearer metaphysics is without merit in today’s world?
“It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.” Albert Einstein
