Thank you so much Waldemar – that means so much to me. As you all know, my wife of 32 years passed away last June, and my daughter and I are starting a new life in a new place (both old and new addresses are National Parks too – we hope to visit as many as possible sometime). Each woman I have known has been so amazing, and taught me more than I could have learned from books (and in less time). I was just getting to know Marcy when Time had a different idea – but we had some wonderful talks that last year.

 

Lisa is amazing in her own right, hard for me to keep up sometimes. She’s attracted to things most are afraid to investigate, I think – which is very cool. Not sure if she will participate here, but you will probably see changes in me reflecting as though she had :)

I call her a walking dictionary because she blows me away with words I haven’t heard for a very long time – quite the lexicon!

 

This experience of love coming and going like tides from a tidepool, reminds me of a song I used to listen to lying in the grass in the backyard getting some sun in CA. The words went:

 

El amor viene, el amor se va

No tiene tiempo, no tiene edad

El amor viene, el amor se va

A veces eterno, a veces fugaz

Pretty much sums love up, I think!

Thanks so much for your kind words…

Lonny:

 

Congratulations on a “new wife.”

A wonderful union and thriving to you both! 

I hope she will participate and share - sometimes, maybe you’ll explain the “walking dictionary” attribution.

 

Best regards to you both.

 

Waldemar

Hi Jamie,

Would you mind if I shared this post with my new wife Lisa? I know it's a closed group, but she really perked up when I mentioned it - you all are so cool! She's like a walking dictionary ;)

 

Thanks,

Lonny

Some people in Kinesiology claim you can measure the "truth" of a statement by measuring the strength of your muscles when hearing it. No surprise there's a lot of controversy about this. This is a discussion about what manner of "true" might be the case. 

 

I'm interested in finding out which permutation develops energy as not just a solution to depression, but perhaps achieving higher levels of "vibration" or inner freedom than recognized as normal.

 

I was meditating in Self-Enquiry recently, observing how various thoughts trigger various changes in the flow of energy within my body, and noticing how much of my thinking "sucks" or "denies" energy from my voluntary muscles (I wonder if that's how the term "suck" came to be). One can see how this connects to behavioral shutdown, depression, and low self-esteem.

 

Clearly the body will support some thoughts and actions and not others, and I believe this has everything to do with the most interesting stories and examples of human nature: 

*how revenge is a bad idea, 

*why some say those who believe the most will always win, 

*how finding God and repentance provides new life, 

*how talking to God or your self/subconscious/body in prayer causes subtle feelings of change that could emerge later into radically different behaviors.

 

I'm reminded to really check my intentions. I currently think that the energy behind a simple intention, say to win a game of poker, can be refracted into many other intentions based on how the poker game is played, and very little is premeditated. A person can set out to play the game, hoping to win, but in a manner that necessarily translates into other intentions and emotions like anger, humiliation, etc.

 

Joe Rogan talked about how terrible it is to lose a big fight. Why MUST that be the case? Is it not possible to invest just as much energy into winning, without caring if you lose, in order to live wisely? 

 

And if I try to live that way, peers will often presume and impose such frames upon you, requiring some will of mind to resist the "curses".

 

Another question is: can the body be wrong? Can emotions be wrong?  Can trauma cause someone to feel shame for having thoughts that go against abusers, or later, against genuine lies, that another might feel elated and victorious as solutions to their problems? The former type of person should be enraged at their peers for allowing them to be so duped! How is that made right?

 

Life imposes all sorts of conflicts where people have to decide if they are more deserving than another, and I don't think the answer is to put others before yourself every time with anyone. But is it to love yourself before all else?

Napolean once said, "I love nobody" and seems not to have been depressed much at all. 

 

Anyway, the body/subconscious clearly decide what you actually believe, and while you can negotiate with them, they may require a certain logical coherence - maybe a kind of logic yet to be written.

 

I'd like to see the experiments on epistemic kinesiology (if that's even been coined). it fits with behavioral investment theory BIT, and the concept of body budget, and withdrawal. 

 

I look forward to connecting the dots further.
