Re: X Marks the Spot


Wonder why the elongated have those holes in the back, if it is natural or unnatural.

Like a soft spot not closed or this came up. Wonder if there is a place in that hole spot where they turned something on or off. Interesting theory at the end which is simplicity wrapped in complexity.

Scientists Closing in on Theory of Consciousness

Descartes also believed the mind was separate from the material body — a concept known as mind-body duality — and that these realms interact in the brain's pineal gland. Scientists now reject the latter idea, but some thinkers still support the notion that the mind is somehow removed from the physical world.

Recently, researchers discovered a brain area that acts as a kind of on-off switch for the brain. When they electrically stimulated this region, called the claustrum, the patient became unconscious instantly. In fact, Koch and Francis Crick, the molecular biologist who famously helped discover the double-helix structure of DNA, had previously hypothesized that this region might integrate information across different parts of the brain, like the conductor of a symphony.

But looking for neural or behavioral connections to consciousness isn't enough, Koch said. For example, such connections don't explain why the cerebellum, the part of the brain at the back of the skull that coordinates muscle activity, doesn't give rise to consciousness, while the cerebral cortex (the brain's outermost layer) does. This is the case even though the cerebellum contains more neurons than the cerebral cortex.

Nor do these studies explain how to tell whether consciousness is present, such as in brain-damaged patients, other animals or even computers.

...

The basic idea is that conscious experience represents the integration of a wide variety of information, and that this experience is irreducible. This means that when you open your eyes (assuming you have normal vision), you can't simply choose to see everything in black and white, or to see only the left side of your field of view.

Instead, your brain seamlessly weaves together a complex web of information from sensory systems and cognitive processes. Several studies have shown that you can measure the extent of integration using brain stimulation and recording techniques.

The integrated information theory assigns a numerical value, "phi," to the degree of irreducibility. If phi is zero, the system is reducible to its individual parts, but if phi is large, the system is more than just the sum of its parts.

This system explains how consciousness can exist to varying degrees among humans and other animals. The theory incorporates some elements of panpsychism, the philosophy that the mind is not only present in humans, but in all things.

An interesting corollary of integrated information theory is that no computer simulation, no matter how faithfully it replicates a human mind, could ever become conscious. Koch put it this way: "You can simulate weather in a computer, but it will never be 'wet.'"

So there's this cube. Except it represents 4 days at once.


And, it's ….. sort of…. heavier…. than this…. not…. cube…. place we live.


And 'someone' named Gene Ray (…..) named that thing, Time Cube.

all babies have fontanelles ~ soft spots between the skull that after a year or 2 fuse and close up
some adults have them, still

….. so. I figure some crazy Dragons are actually sort of 'holding' it, if you can imagine that.



(nope, you can't)


But. It's only really with what amount to the skin on their teeth.

Because they…. um… hmmm. They could bite into it.


Oh. yeah. Except for that when they do that the teeth are called 'eyes' and they actually think they are somehow (????) seeing the light that is entering in to them.


???? Imagine that!

That is what I was thinking because they have such large skulls and they have to grow and seems every single elongated one has had a hole that has been found. But if the environment isn't compatible to their bodies then surgery would help or if they know an enhancement through surgery as well.

I think they have found both adults and children. That is one conclusion (don't know how to spell it either). Also might be connected to the hats too, like a technology. I was talking about the rameses II and king tut type hats yesterday and how they look like they help with hearing sounds more clearer. You know how if you cup your ears it amplifies sound? That would make 'kings' more 'godly' compared to commoners who didn't wear hats like that.

"How many of you are elitists? Are those designer jeans really worth two hundred bucks? Clever marketing has conditioned us to believe that we get what we pay for. In fact, researchers at Stanford used an MRI to gauge brain activity while participants sip samples of red wine. Guess what they found.

When people thought that they were drinking five dollar merlot the medial orbitofrontal cortex, part of the brain involved with pleasure and reward, was minimally active. But, when told that same wine was an one hundred dollar bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape the pleasure center lit up like the Las Vegas strip. Which tells us even though we may not be snobs our medial orbitofrontal cortexs are."

Re: X Marks the Spot
Sadly I find that once again the principle of a 'magick distance' or a 'magic number' or a 'magic Dragon' or a 'black magick' is ruining both my PFC fortitude and ability to do anything but wonder haplessly upon it


Driving me very much insane, it is

Feels very much like a hairball made of barbed wire
 Quoting: V²(pi)³³³


"To ground yourself means to fully connect and phase with the perspective of your physical dimensional aspect. Your consciousness is not as much a finite clump of energy as it is an infinite current of energy. For this reason, it is easily compared to electricity. Removing the excess electric charge from an object is called grounding. Removing the excess emotional charge that is the result of getting lost in the non-physical dimensions of thought is also called grounding.
When we pull our focus back to our physical dimension aspect, we entrain with the frequency of the earth itself. We allow energy to move through our root chakra. We allow ourselves to be fully present here with our physical bodies and physically incarnated perspectives. Grounding is the perfect remedy for anyone who is feeling stressed, triggered, regressed, rushed, overworked, confused, overwhelmed, panicked, angry, clumsy or drained"
 Quoting: paler



I'll second that. :) I've gone years not being grounded and not seeing the difference it makes and even then I forget to ground and "be" having to remind myself to ground a few times a day. Using stones, crystals, and rolfing as well as touching the physical ground all seem to ground me and help others as well.

I wonder how many people never are fully grounded and what impact that has individually and collectively for body, mind, spirit, etc.

Ever wonder why they call it grounded? Me thinks its because the ground absorbs our energy through our feet..I wonder how much it can actually hold before returning energy back?
