i am eating this up with a spoon! i find myself in your predicament also, which are they? (yes, and they could be different representations depending on the individual experience) your hunches as to which is the valid root assumption or truth and which events are body regulation resulting from beliefs seem to represent clarity and ‘feel’ to be right on track, which is part of the excitement. ;-D . i have not read about these particular areas in the depth that you and @anon38262219 have. now I must pose another question that has been poking at me long time…
i have always wanted to ask your thoughts (everyone’s) on HOW our thoughts, ideas, emotions and ‘preset blueprints’ that we choose might affect, create or be ‘reflected’ in our genetics, and here is an excellent article to provide an example of it in mass events(?), i just copied an excerpt from MSN yesterday…
["Our actions are often considered to be a product of our attitude or environment. But our genes may have more to do with this than we think. A new study found that a certain genetic makeup may be more prone to very violent behavior.
The study, published in Molecular Psychiatry, analyzed the genomes of 895 Finnish criminals who were placed in categories from non-violent to extremely violent based on the nature of their crimes.
Variants of two genes, MAOA and CDH13, were found to be associated with violent crime. Violent criminals, the 78 of whom had committed a total of 1,154 violent crimes, were linked most strongly to the genes, while the non-violent criminals were not associated with them.
It’s the first large-scale study to look specifically at genetics and criminal violence. MAOA, dubbed “the warrior gene” a decade ago by Science, the academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has already been linked to aggression. The second gene, CDH13, has been previously linked to impulse control.
As the body of research relating genetics to criminal behavior grows, legal issues loom. Research on CDH13 has been decried by criminologists as abetting racist eugenic theories. Should genetic makeup play into a court’s consideration of a defendant’s responsibility for their actions? Genetics have appeared in defense lawyers’ arguments, and on at least one occasion has led to a lighter sentence."]
please, fellow forum ppl, take this and run with it!
