Elements of the Human Body/Pattern/Process

[llynch]

From the resting heart-rate of 60 bpm, each increment of 5 bpm also shows a 'Whole Number' Schumann Resonance Harmonic that matches. Same for breathing rate noted as rpm (breaths per minute) and EEG Bands.

By starting with 1 bpm = 7.8-hz, the the next 7.8 harmonic = 2 bpm. The matches it turned up are pretty neat. Though its relevance is unknown.

What is curious is that the Sumerians and those whom took them over, the Babylonians, both used the base-60 number system. Maybe based on 60 bpm heart rate?

Note:
1)
Breathing rate of 5-rpm/Schumann 39-hz
EEG Band Theta 5-hz/Schumann 39-hz

2)
Heart Rate 60-bpm/Schumann 468-hz
EEG Band Gamma 60-hz/Schumann 468-hz

Each of the above matches (connects the three together) occur when the body is at rest.

Check out what is associated the Gamma Band 30-100 (where noted 60hz match occurred).

The working methods of poets, painters, philosophers and saints.

Using the eyes of Awareness a pattern is discerned. With heroic Will, the mind brings it and another from the past together to Compare. The hammer is then allowed to fall on the Deductive chisel, exposing the light of what is inherently true. The fruit of these efforts provide the required illumination which makes clear the next stretch of the path.

With direction clear and bolstered Will, each step describing the rise and fall of Cause and Effect. Those who discover the light marking the beginning of this path will find a relating company in the footprints left behind. Marking as if words describing the story of many passings. Each a re-telling of increasing strength, purity and direction of Intent.

Sleep-Activity-Food



The idea for this image started with the three following sources:

1)
The Doctrine of Awakening : Julius Evola
Julius Evola "The Doctrine of the Awakening"

"Thus, strictly speaking, the period of true sleep or of the state that in the common man would correspond to sleep (cf, p. 181) is restricted to four hours only, from ten in the evening until two in the morning."

2)
MrAstrotheology - YouTube
Santos Bonacci - one of the astrology based videos

He quotes what I believe is a bible passage that warns of drinking too deeply. This he references to the hour preceeding noon. Very brief moment in the video but worth watching as all knowledge has value.

3)
My own experience of recognizing that the best physical and mental part of my days are during the first 4 hours after waking. As well as seeing that taking a nap performs the same thing to a lesser degree.


Tesla was quoted in reference to attaching our machinery to the wheelwork of nature. It appears that the Buddhists have been improving the attachment of the human body to the wheelwork of nature for a very long time.

In regards to the image. Treat it as a snapshot in time as the noted lengths of time are contracting and expanding in relation to the moon orbit and the earths orbit. I tried to center the processes that are in my mind to give a general idea. It also omits exercise, but imagining the first hour after waking as yoga time resolves that.

Also, one should not expect to just adapt to this. It requires a matching diet and matching conscious mind. Both which are acquired with effort and time. Reference Buddhism for validation. The sleeping time contracts as the diet and mind matching increases.

The Telsa/Buddhist reference says it all. You are basically putting major body influences in sympathetic vibration with a larger more energetic pattern. Energy is transfered from a higher potential to the lower potential via resonance. Which is generated by sympathetic vibration.

Jake,

I know what you mean... it is a weird sort of pull to the meat and cooked food.

The only explaination for it that fits with energy flow perspective is, that during the growth and development period of most people, the primary food that was consumed was cooked/processed foods.

This means that the mass that was added to the body has certain requirements to be maintained. Which of course is consuming that which created it. From this point we see why a gradual change of diet is often recommended. They ("experts") also recommend gradual change for addictions of other things as well.

As everything is interacting with everything, it is best to look at the energy flow description as a skeleton of basic information that can be built upon using personal experience. There are many connections that were not mentioned such as heat production during exercise, where it comes from and water being the major path of it exiting the body. But one major connection is the role of sleep it's correct form that matches other natural cycles and related eating timing and exercising which match natural cycles also. This is what I am currently trying to put together graphically.

And that is a good and important point you made about energy depletion via cooking/processing food with minimal reduction in caloric content! Good eye!

Here's to a greater understanding of what it means to be a Human that is Being.

[jake]

The word 'strength' used in relation to fundamental frequency can also be called amplitude, which is its 'proper' name. Strength more easily suggests a relationship with 'energy', whereas the word amplitude does so only within limited groups.



Nutrition is based primarily on the transfer of energy.
The transfer is from ingested food to the body.

The energy transfer relies on the strength of the fundamental frequency of individual elements.

To transfer in the direction of food to body, the strength of the fundamental frequency of the elements contained in food must be higher than the elements of the body.

Elements decay.
The decay rate can be increased via cooking and processing.
Decay removes the strength of the fundamental frequency.

If the direction of transfer is reversed from body to food.
Due to the strength of the fundamental frequency of the elements of the body being higher than those in food. Strength will be transferred from the elements of the body to those contained in food.

Over time the strength of an element can decrease to a point where it's fundamental frequency will change. Some elements decay into a radioactive element.

This could possibly occur via consumption of the same/similar cooked or processed food items repeatedly over a duration of time.

Human health disorders revolve around a deficiency of particular elements.
These elements can easily be identified in the food that is regularly consumed.

The results from this practice causes a depletion of elements in the body.
Loss of calcium: repeated consumption over time of cooked/processed items containing calcium.

The same for iron, magnesium, potassium etc.. Depletion of 1 or multiples results in specific health disorders.

Solution:
Consumption of food that contains elements whose fundamental frequency strength is higher than that of those elements in the body.

The best items for consumption are (most beneficial to least beneficial):
1) Organic Raw Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables
2) Conventional Raw Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables
3) Lightly Steamed Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables
4) Low Heat cooked Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables
5) Sun dried Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables
6) High Heat cooked Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables

In regards to meat consumption:
Protein is often discussed in favor of it's consumption.
With additional thought regarding the elements comprising meat we learn.
Being a non-living animal the elements have decayed to an appreciable extent.
Cooking increases this decay further.

The strength of the fundamental frequency of the elements that comprise Protein at the time of consumption is very low.

For comparison the strength of the elements fundamental frequency in protein found in Raw Nuts is much higher.

This also applies to any other components of meat such as the elements in amino acids as well as the other available elements.

In essence this shows that modern meat consumption as far as nutrition is concerned, is of lower nutritional value than that of High Heat cooked Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables.

In Relation to Exercise

Extended or Strenuous exercise as a detrimental affect on the human body.

The concept of Exercise includes the following components in regards to nutritional health.

1) Energy expenditure
2) Energy replenishment
3) Dehydration
4) Re-hydration

Expenditure & Replenishment

Energy expenditure in the body lowers the fundamental frequency strength of the elements contained in the human body. To higher degree than normal activity.

The energy expenditure of normal activity is compensated by the diet that is already in place.

Exercise requires increased consumption of food to bring the strength of the fundamental frequencies back to normal levels.

As in a battery only being able to be charged and discharged so many times, so it is with the elements of our bodies.

Exercise type
high mass creating foods require extreme physical exercise (shorter lifespan)
high brain activity foods require minimal exercise (ie yoga)(longer lifespan)


Dehydration & Rehydration

Extended or Strenous exercise requires increased intake of water.
This is due to increased water leaving the body.

The water leaving the body also takes with it the strength of the fundamental frequency of the elements that make up the body. I acts as a energy leak.

The only way that this can be replenished is through increased food consupmtion. Which was discussed above.

PH- Alkaline/Acidity

A variable resistance that energy passes through to get to the lower potential.
Fruit, meat, cooked food, processed food, processed drinks etc. increase acidity.
The detrimentally affects the flow of energy from a high potential to a low potential.

Of course the current state of ones body must be taken into account. It helps understanding if a person has performed a base line with their body.

Thanks for this post. You made me think about nutrition in a different way. I like your view of "energy" being removed by processing and cooking even though the caloric value may not change much.

A Sincere Thanks,

jake

llynch , got your pm ... thank you my friend ... and looking to read you again

[petar113507]

llynch, Please pardon my late reply.... I have been told that "it is better late than never", also "no wine before it's time"
The integration process, and so, becomming more fractal, seems to take time, sometimes....

Under the Idea umbrella of exchanging voltage for current, Have you seen any videos, or experiments of high voltage Ionization on steam? Chemical conversions, when present in a tense enough electric field, can convert, or partially convert into an aparrently different phase.

That is to say with any present system -- if you are not satisfied with it, shift the enviroment of it so greatly, that it is no longer functioning as the same system

Have you seen this video? This immedeately popped into my mind as I read about the bone in the hands, making "smoke rings"....

It seems that John Chang knows how to make those "smoke rings" from his hands to project a gravity center/shortcircuit into patients bodies or the newspaper at the end of the video....

I wonder how balanced the elements in his body process are -- or, how balanced his thoughts must be through meditation must be to project a focal point of such a great intensity.... He would have to center a void of equally great intensity, or exchange voidance in such great rapidity that it would make many "smoke rings"....

I'm just thinking out loud with that last paragraph....

for more details on Prana:

Prana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prana (प्राण, prāṇa) is the Sanskrit word for "vital life" (from the root prā "to fill", cognate to Latin: plenus "full"). It is one of the five organs of vitality or sensation, viz. prana "breath", vac "speech", chakshus "sight", shrotra "hearing", and manas "thought" (nose, mouth, eyes, ears and mind; ChUp. 2.7.1).

In Vedantic philosophy, prana is the notion of a vital, life-sustaining force of living beings and vital energy, comparable to the Chinese notion of Qi. Prana is a central concept in Ayurveda and Yoga, where it is believed to flow through a network of fine subtle channels called nadis. Its most subtle material form is the breath, but it is also to be found in the blood, and its most concentrated form is semen in men and vaginal fluid in women.[1] The Pranamaya-kosha is one of the five Koshas or "sheaths" of the Atman.

Prana was first expounded in the Upanishads, where it is part of the worldly, physical realm, sustaining the body and the mother of thought and thus also of the mind. Prana suffuses all living forms but is not itself the Atman or individual soul. In the Ayurveda, the Sun and sunshine are held to be a source of prana.

In the Hindu philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism, prana is regarded as an aspect of Shakti (cosmic energy).

Sustains life, but is not itself the individual soul....

If you know better than I, Please correct me if you disagree here....

It is not the soul itself, but sustains the form of the soul....
Kind of how the water under a bridge sustains the form and function of the bridge, but is not itself the structure of the bridge......

Fine subtle channels = very high frequency

Sun and sunshine are a source of prana -- the sun-dried sea salt, therefore might contain some "subtle traces" that are not easily detected by modern electronic chemical sensors, but may be sensed by the body....

[petar113507]

It seems that the mornings provide some amazing flashes of insight.

Here is the brain dump from this morning regarding nutrition and some patterns involved:

Nutrition

Common Knowledge
More nutrients in a food item the better
Cooking a food item reduces nutrient level
Nutrients are in a wide variety of food items
Plants contain more nutrients that animals


Natural Processes
Temperature cycle (day/night-summer/winter)
Cold causes contraction
Above surface generally colder than below surface
Above surface experiences more contraction
Contraction at surface pushes contents downward below surface

Natural arrangement of food items
Below surface - higher density fiber
At Surface - medium density fiber
Above Surface - low density fiber

Natural consumption of food items
Morning - low density fiber
Mid-Day - medium density fiber
Evening - high density fiber

Water usage in the body
Water action - hydration
Water purpose - modification of electrical resistance in the body
Water affects - ph level

Nutrients
On average most plants and vegetables contain a wide range of the same vitamins and minerals.
Thus proper choice of an item will not have a major impact on nutrition levels.


Reasoning
Fiber is a time release mechanism when food item is consumed.
Fiber is like a air tight seal for nutrients.
High density equals slower release of nutrients.
Lower density equals faster release of nutrients.
Density also regulates the amount of caloric energy released.
Low density upon waking assists in waking.
High density in the evening allows for nutrient availability during the long period of sleep as well as preventing a large release of caloric energy.

High water intake causes an increase in distance between conductive elements.
Lower water intake reduces the distance between conductive elements.
Elements = Minerals
Extremes in either direction are not beneficial.
Water is also a major component for ridding the body of detrimental contents.
This flushng causes a side affect of reducing the electrical conductivity of the body as well as lowering the ph level.
A cycle is created with the concumption of cooked and processed foods.
Consumption of Cooked/Processed foods increase the ph level and introduce detrimental content into the body.
Both require removal through the body.
Removal requires higher intake of water.
Thus dropping ph levels and reducing electrical conductivity of the body below the optimum range.

Plants have the ability to modify the ph levels as well but not over large ranges.

What appears to be the most natural and effective way to achieve nutrition along with avoidance of the biggest detrimental impacts is:

Morning - Apple - low fiber density/high caloric release
Mid-day - Kale - medium fiber density/medium caloric release
Evening - Carrot - high fiber density/low caloric release

Factors to consider to allow for variety: Fiber Density, Ph Level impact

Additional: ph levels impact conductivity as well, though my knowledge of this is only from the functioning of lead acid batteries, thus limited.

I have begun sprouting my own seeds into "seed sprouts" and cooking them at a lower temperature. I'm not sure if this preserves the nutrient content in them much more -- it makes the food a little more crunchy, but I hope, nutritious.

Quinoa, Mung bean sprouts, Garbanzo beans, Pinto Beans, Soy beans, sesame seeds, Wheat sprouts....

These were the most "affordable" for me to begin to convert to a vegitarian diet. I have occasionally eaten fish since then, but have tried to stay away from heavy pork, and cow meats, as well as milks.

The ones that were specifically injected with steroids, kept in confined pens.... While the organic cow milk tastes better than the "roided" cows, I've found myself straying from drinking even that...

it's almost like my body is telling me to go with this upcomming phase shift....

I have also been practicing Oil pulling with sesame seed oil, and using "Desouza" sea salt (sun dried, flake sea salt -- use 1/2 as much as "normal salt") to clean my teeth.

If you use the salt in flake form, the crystals CAN be abrasive to your teeth if you grind them against your molars with your tooth brush. It took three tries of exposing a nerve in my back molar to find out that I needed to dissolve the salt in my saliva before using the solution as a toothpaste; soas not to make my teeth become worn down from abrasion.
Since then, I have found the sea salt to be superior to any toothpaste or whitening strips.

I have also been dropping "Concentrace minerals" in my water that I drink on occasion. I do not do this regularly, but when I do -- I feel like my water-body is a better antenna.... Filling it with all the trace minerals found in distilled, desalinated sea water...

I figured this would be a thread to expand on the health benefits of doping my body with trace minerals, in order to become a "better distributed" fractal antenna.

I colored one of the images from an old alchemy text. The guy may or may not represent a container/vessel with my current understanding, but gives a good start to understanding.

blue = container/vessel/earth/plant/animal/human/rock/etc..
red = point of source
gray(silver) = moon (isis/virgo/etc)
purple = flow of energy

[MonsieurM]

Thanks Llynch

as for the Moon effect it acts as a Magnifier on many levels of Subtle Enegies and the same applies with all the other celestial bodies :

see also:

Gravitational lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spacetime around a massive object (such as a galaxy cluster or a black hole) is curved, and as a result light rays from a background source (such as a galaxy) propagating through spacetime are bent. The lensing effect can magnify and distort the image of the background source.

Unlike an optical lens, maximum 'bending' occurs closest to, and minimum 'bending' furthest from, the center of a gravitational lens. Consequently, a gravitational lens has no single focal point, but a focal line instead. If the (light) source, the massive lensing object, and the observer lie in a straight line, the original light source will appear as a ring around the massive lensing object. If there is any misalignment the observer will see an arc segment instead

[llynch]

Here are few things that popped out this weekend that beg for understanding of their influence on humans.

Four Subtle Energies affecting the earth
1) 18 degrees before/after sunrise (in the scientific community it is called an atmospheric effect)
2) 18 degrees before/after sunset (green flash)(in the scientific community it is called an atmospheric effect)
3) 7 Schumann Resonances
4) Aether

- Birds sing just before/after the sunrise and sunset.
- Singing involves breathing.
- Breathing is a major component of meditation.
- Meditation is a way to lower the operating frequency of the brain, obtain relaxation and peace and it frequently involves the Chakra System.
- The Chakra system involves working with the subtle energies of the body.
- Influencing the subtle energies of the body is often referred to as a path to Enlightenment.
- Enlightenment is described as many things but in general it is a reference to a Higher State of Mind/Being.
- When a Higer State of Mind is Acheived... it would seem to fit to then be called a Human 'Being'.


Artistic Creativity - Just Before, During and Just After the Full Moon
Logical Creativity - Just Before, During and Just After the New Moon

Planets near or in alignment with either the Full Moon or New Moon (either side of earth) influences the affects.


- Alchemical Books from various cultures often contain art that references these things.
- The Moon is represented often by a Cone shape with weird straight handle attached.
- The Cone shape is often represented as a Hat in more modern art.
- Often 5 Cones are shown, possibly related to the above mentioned positions of the Moon.
- The Cone is sometimes connected to a Container/Vessel.
- The Container/Vessel could be understood to the Earth.

I am getting the impression that the Northen Hemisphere of the Sun has a much different quality than its Southern Hemisphere.
That along with which side the Earth is on during the year.

[llynch]

Curiosity about the relationship between resistance and density of elements caused me to create a spreadsheet of the elements sorted by resistance.

Top 10 Hightest Top to Lowest Bottom in regards to resistance
Sulfur S 16
Phosphorus P 15
Iodine I 53
Boron B 5
Selenium Se 34
Silicon Si 14
Germanium Ge 32
Tellurium Te 52
Carbon C 6
Plutonium Pu 94

Elements Listed in USDA Nutrient Database for foods
Phosphorus
Selenium
Manganese
Iron
Potassium
Zinc
Sodium
Magnesium
Calcium
Copper

It is highly likely there is variance in resistance values in regards to changes that elements undergo transitioning from the earth to the human body. But ballpark is good enough for my purposes, as I do not intend to design any food for retail in the future. But here is the list of a few foods that I compared the figures for. Just by the Phosphorus, Selenium and Manganese content in each food item, the highest resistance top and lowest bottom...

Broccoli Stalks Raw
Kale Raw
Carrot Raw
Apple Raw

Broccoli and Kale are pretty close, Carrot holding middle position and Apple holding last place.

Here are the resistance values for the comparison elements:
Phosphorus P 15 1.00E-17 106/cm ohm
Selenium Se 34 1.00E-12 106/cm ohm
Manganese Mn 25 0.00695 106/cm ohm

Once I get a few more food items on the list I'll post the results.
Of note density for the usda elements was on the low end of the list.
