Not true, here’s what I think energy really is: an unconscious synesthetic motion you can improve where something (an object, place, event, interaction) is converted into an internal mode of a human and then the question of “what is that person’s disposition towards me” is asked
@nosilverv Recently @no_identd pointed out that many of the eastern models of 'energy' are often about maintaining purity in food and using fermentation to enhance certain qualities. It's really amazing. https://t.co/zcBOqs9qwdhttps://t.co/6eI3z3F6Tg
@Grimhood Its amazing how many healing tinctures and fermented foods targeting particular chakra functions end up having an impact on liver. Almost like they had a functioning model of disease that has been misunderstood because the mechaism was lost in the woo.
@nosilverv @no_identd Some of this stuff seemed to have mutated as it went from eastern alchemic philosophy to intermixed with western ideas, so now we get cargo-cult version of it that are out of touch with the meaning of vital-heat and nutrition's role in immune function / TRP receptor activity.
@nosilverv @no_identd I'm half expecting chi based healing to be a legitimate thing despite all the scientific attempts ending up being scams and fakery.But I'll settle for someone being about to generate static electricity by mediating for a bit. https://t.co/Rwx47ok7rY
@nosilverv @no_identd Framing alchemy as a healing ritual puts a lot of this stuff into perspective. We seemed to have looked at the world not thru a lens of chemistry, but thru the lens of "how does this impact our biology". https://t.co/2rR3lvRKN2
@nosilverv @no_identd Same perspective shift can be made to understand animism -> how the animal behaviors with respect to it's own desires, and how we relate to them (or the objects) https://t.co/ep8kY7Yn7M
@nosilverv @no_identd Recognizing it was an inferential distance problem -> two competing models of the world that were based on different utilities and focus was what made it click.https://t.co/MyPOClWT8L
@Molson_Hart @GENIC0N Idea mutate as they are passed along. It's a saying rooted in ancient alchemical models of vital heat and can be traced thru traditional Chinese medicine. Their herbs all act on TRP receptors & influence metabolic state thru endocannabinoid system's impact on immune function.
@nosilverv @no_identd The challenge now is that there are a number of them that aren't really well unified.It's amazing how often you can jus replace "energy" with "microbial metabolites" and it just works.https://t.co/7EkN6uNtTy
If you're into herbal medicine stuff, the TRP receptors correspond to roughly to saturn/venus + heat/cold ideas related to blood flow. These activate smooth muscle tissue in the blood vessels as well as in stuff like eyes, brain, uterus, and intestine.https://t.co/GIle11lC2E
@nosilverv @no_identd Gotta trace a lot of these things thru a sort of rumor network to see how occult teachings influenced more modern thinkers. https://t.co/0JbCBaZkHE https://t.co/W4Y8KCrAuV
Carl Sandburg's quote on about shadows is meaningless unless you realized that he consorted with D.H. Lawrence thru the Laughing Horse publication ala Walter Willard Johnson.Some deep influences of Jung & Freud likely thru an interesting social network?https://t.co/ifg2IaLv4l
@nosilverv @no_identd Lots of funny things drop out of the ether when you realize you can reverse trauma with gut bacteria. https://t.co/aoW37dlUId
@nosilverv @no_identd I wanna be able to speak with my inner chakra.https://t.co/30U21j934b
@nosilverv @no_identd They speak with terpenes https://t.co/FJwRUTKBTd
@nosilverv @no_identd I'm learning about Ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian's use of garlic. Comparting it to Viking + European fermentation rituals involving garlic, leek, and onions, and then looking toward charka's colors as inspiration for food in Korean Temples. https://t.co/So1uEzEaBl https://t.co/CzjVKiHSk6
@nosilverv @no_identd What's in *real* soy sauce? She says it's medicine.What if it is? https://t.co/toYuoAP8YxWhat kind of bacteria would grow on soy prepared and grown with such care? https://t.co/per4Ybb4yH https://t.co/GTocRpv4Np
"instructs the reader to crush garlic and a second Allium species (whose translation into modern English is ambiguous), combine these with wine and oxgall (bovine bile), and leave the mixture to stand in a brass or bronze vessel for 9 days and nights."https://t.co/m9aghNFfFr https://t.co/guT0cpIRQh

@nosilverv @no_identd I went to a place that sells singing bowls & fancy rocks. Asked them if any of their books on chakra meditation and healing had recipes. They did not.The kind lady at the counter told me to find @drdeannaminich who talks about colorful food.I bought a book about norse runes.
@nosilverv @no_identd @drdeannaminich She knows a lot about gut bacteria :D https://t.co/oIG9YB6x9k
@nosilverv @no_identd @drdeannaminich A different tradition of monkdom from Japan has some really fun alchemical structures embedded in their staves.What is energy anyway?https://t.co/2rR3lvRKN2
@nosilverv @no_identd @drdeannaminich Someone tagged me in a tweet about mucus transplants to treat cholera.I think I figured out how to eat literal cholera by reverse engineering how the diets in 1829-1850 England were failing to provide protection against a lectin.https://t.co/ikAVbkETte
@BioavailableNd Been exploring chakra based healing because I think the idea of eating certain colors of fresh plant may be doing something to help arm gut bacteria with various glycans. Lots of interesting fermented foods used traditionally to neutralize lectins. https://t.co/po632ofpmn
@nosilverv @no_identd Thesis, antithesis, synthesis.A Hegelian dialectic with my butt. 😂https://t.co/JoRagRV4GB
Tired: Talk therapyWired: MedicationInspired: Meditation to calm your gut microbes, and eating bacteria waste as a prebiotic.Hired: Realizing all the norms around handling mental disease in western society occurred after the 1870s, co-occurring with the germ theory of disease. https://t.co/61begB6biP

@nsreed @clairlemon @BretWeinstein @colwight "We have demonstrated that [fermented] soybean administration was quicker in stimulating muscle protein synthesis by activating mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling than orally ingesting untreated soybean in the gastrocnemius muscle."

@nosilverv @no_identd Woman goes to a wellness retreat, aligns chakra, heals stomach lining, gets gut massages, reduces stress related pathways tied to insulin & gut inflammation. Hitting TRPs tied to inflammation + plant based liquid diet. Leaves cured of ulcerative colitis.https://t.co/6e5rdjw45T
@nosilverv @no_identd It cost $17025.30 (USD) to do that.Why does it cost so much?https://t.co/uA2wXRIMHr

Finally found a set of books that attempts to extrapolate TCM and Ayurveda and connects eastern traditions with more recent western findings on the gut microbiome.Author doesn't have a big web presence, but found a talk https://t.co/9EXNI3tgwqhttps://t.co/uwxXdWCNRO https://t.co/9nIn2tRqI4
