The Research That Rethinks Neuroscience & Biology

I’d rather listen to Bernardo’s telling of the tale that just about anybody’s. Hans is a cool dude too, and early in this video he mentions that Bernardo is the Director of the Essentia Foundation. I definitely did not know that. But it resonates perfectly.

You know how much I love fixating on 10,000 years before present and the Mistake of becoming civilized around then.

In this video, BK lays down a marker at 30,000 YBP. It was around then, he says, that we replaced Reality with discourse, narratives, language … Stories.

D’accord.

Does that mean that I need to let sedentism and agriculture off the hook for being the villains, and seek my suspects earlier?

I don’t think so, no.

Stories were around a long time, before we (literally) settled for a really bad one, that’s all.

Halfway through my meditation tonight I got up, to write this down.

I had been feeling the mantra in my third eye, and sometimes in my chest. I was playing with picturing the Consciousness or ground of being as that purple void in Twin Peaks. And coming back from these thoughts to the meaningless mantra over and over as best I could.

Then, i thought: this isn’t TM exactly. This is, to put it practically, Sitting Without Meaning.

That’s what i’m doing. Trying to sit and just sit and be in the not-meaning.

And then a nice and very distracting insight hit me, about an Apache man who lived in the Gila near what is now my promised land of Silver City. The civilized people called him Mangas Coloradas. But his tribe family called him: Dasoda-hae.

Which means (‘they’ say): “He Just Sits There“.

And now, with that off my chest or third eye, I’m going to go back and start the twenty minutes of practice over again.
