I'm done with drugs and alcohol

[Tenet Nosce]

Thank you very much for sharing Tenet.

You're welcome!

Oh Tenet. Are you a scientist or something? Is it possible for a lay person to look this stuff up like me. I like to go off people's words and believe them but it would be nice to share this with others who don't work like me. thanks

I am a doctor, so having a better idea what the technical jargon means makes the process easier. But- one doesn't need any special resources other than the Internet.

All I did was nose around on the net until I found a page which described the nervous input into the pineal gland. Then, I looked up the nerves themselves to see what physical pathways they traverse in the body. Then I looked up the ganglia, or relay stations, to see what kind of information was being passed through there. It was then I realized that each one carries information generated by a different behavior associated with meditation.

The challenge with doing this kind of research is more due to having to pull bits and pieces from various sources, as no single source puts them all together. There are so many things like this out there, that I have to admit the most rational explanation I can come up with is that there actually are people out there somewhere with a clear intention to draw people's attention away from certain ideas, and have enough control of the media sources to pull it off.

I've trained my mind to look for the information that is limited or missing. Whether it's a news report or a textbook- a part of my mind is looking closely at the boundaries of the information offered, and noticing if there are any gaps or holes. I find them all the time, and they tend to lead to fascinating places.
