Again the reflex arc. Its not hard to understand. Once again....56 grams Cheers. Off to legoland I can really close. Surfing Costa Rica. I thought for sure I saw the last glimpse of my life. Don't know how I didn't. Broke the surface gagging and throwing up. Climbed back on my board. Scary stuff, but at the same time, in retrospect, at the point you feel you know you are done,a strange very quick feeling of serenity that rushes through and is unable to be grasped. Yes, it's the way we are wired. Reboot processes are wired into the neurotransmitters and physiological processes spurred. In stress, combat situations, I fall into the womb. Everything slows and hesitation dissipates to pure reflex. Repetitive training creates a correlation with biochemical process to tighten the reflex arc to the point of throwing out the 4/10ths of a second wasted thinking. Yes, I can definitely see that. Though not military, I've been in plenty of situations where you can feel the world gel around you. Yes, most if not all circumstances are created by stepping outside of ones comfort zone. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11591337 United States 02/10/2014 01:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] In Hindu tradition, Rahu (U+260A.svg) is a decapitated head of an asura, that swallows the sun causing eclipses. He is depicted in art as a serpent with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight black horses. Rahu is one of the navagrahas (nine planets) in Vedic astrology and is paired with Ketu. The time of day considered to be under the influence of Rahu is called Rahu kala and is considered inauspicious. According to legend, during the Samudra manthan, the asura Rahu drank some of the amrita (divine nectar). The sun and moon realized it and alerted Mohini (the female avatar of Vishnu). Mohini cut off the asura's head before the nectar could pass his throat. The head, however, remained immortal due to the effect of amrita and became Rahu. Vishnu beheading Rahu with his Sudarshana chakra. It is believed that this immortal head from time to time swallows the sun, causing eclipses. Then, the sun passes through the opening at the neck, ending the eclipse. The body also turned into Ketu due to a boon, and it in turn swallows the moon on timely basis to cause a lunar eclipse. [link to en.wikipedia.org] The Sudarshana Chakra is a spinning, disk-like super weapon with 108 serrated edges used by the Hindu god Vishnu. |
