PAIN - Unusual Causes & Unusual Remedies

[Rinse & rePeat]

“Even when a disease’s cause isn’t clearly understood, it is essential to use logical thinking in diagnosing its presence. The presence of a certain gene or “genetic marker” is often thought to have great diagnostic significance, which it rarely has. But even gross “signs” of a disease can be used diagnostically only if we know that similar signs aren’t present in perfectly healthy people. When pains are thought to be the result of a herniated intervertebral disk, x-ray pictures may be produced as confirmation of the diagnosis. But when people without pains are just as likely to have herniated disks (about 2/3 of normal people have them), the diagnosis fails to be convincing. When x-rays or MRIs show “plaques” in the head, multiple sclerosis is often “confirmed,” but when normal medical students show just as many brain plaques, the diagnosis must be questioned.“ -Ray Peat

“Everything that is known about the “always fatal” prionic diseases, the diseases of disturbed protein folding, suggests that they can be avoided and even reversed by systematically reversing the processes that amplify inflammation.“ -Ray Peat

A lot of pains are due to trapped/unexpressed emotions in my experience. I'd go so far as to say this is the root of all ills and is the true silent epidemic for which there are countless bogus "solutions" that are actually distractions.

What you wrote here is a higher level of health. Addressing stresses, where negative emotions thrive, should be just as important as nutrition. I find grounding/earthing to be highly beneficial, for combatting negative emotions, sunshine too…

I've found time and again that addressing the highest state of resonance when it comes to a problem can cause some spectacular shifts on the mundane plane. Modern man is terribly incoherent due to the fragmentation that occurs due to the vagaries of childhood whilst one is still attempting to get their bearings. Most people have been shattered into pieces but refuse to see it as they clutch to the brick that did it as their savior and will rail against anyone who attempts to remove it and place a real solution in their hands instead.

81% of the populace is like this actually or as they said in The Matrix:

11% know what it is and mislead the rest for their own benefit. 8% of us see the state of play exactly how it is and are "awake in the dream" in that sense but how do you show others the world thats been pulled over their eyes and sold to them was stitched together from the ignorance they fleeced their ancestors into believing and is why they are truly miserable and suffering?

My goodness you said a bunch here, and so well. Did you just make up those statistics?

Basic human nature is to take the quickest route to achieving goals. Instant gratification most times comes with longterm consequences, but nobody bothers to think about that. Does anybody really read the informational inserts that comes with their pills, with the long list of side effects? Do they read the consent forms they sign before getting their vaccinations? Why do people trust uniforms so much? If it weren’t for those brainwashing uniforms the Matrix would not exist. People would see that under those uniforms are just ordinary people that are looking for instant gratification too.

@Rinse & rePeat No, they're based on actual harmonics as its all about resonance:

​

81% of the world is enslaved via inherited ignorance and they've never questioned the status quo as they're too busy doing the current thing ie. running around like headless chickens on a psychosocial treadmill that their indoctrination renders invisible, even though they're making no tangible process and their health is fading quick as they pile on quick fix after quick fix. Without reading the ever increasing list of side effects or seeking other solutions.

11% know the deal and see the state of play for what it is and actively encourage the rest into self destructive ways as it brings them profit via various schemes, teams and methods of selling dreams. Youtube and the socialist of medes is filled with these types and people flock to them daily as they offer poison that tastes sweet.

The remaining 8% question everything and know there is something extremely crooked about life and the institutions it begets as well as the foolishness of accepted wisdom hence the "doctors destroy health" axiom etc..

You can test this hypothesis easily in your life based on experience because if you randomly speak to 10 people about, say, a topic from this forum then 8 of them will scoff and call you an idiot for thinking different to what they've been programmed with. 1 will know its true but discourage you as they feel if too many people know they'll lose their edge and want to keep it their little secret. They'll more than likely lead you off in another direction.

The last 1 will listen intently and say "I know exactly what you mean", even if they don't agree with your perspective as they'll entertain the thought and that is how rare a truly thinking person is in the is realm hence 81% are Slaves. 11% are Slave Masters and 8% are Warriors.

I am excited to know I am in the 8%! I believe these statistics too, because people around me are always questioning me, because of my youthful energy and appearance, yet I will give them all my secrets, they will even take notes, and maybe even try things for a few days, but their addictions and laziness draws them back quickly and they stay on their decline. I know this is just a health example, with political interests playing an equal part in the world’s dysfunction, but why can’t people, with a hand out, understand that nothing is free?

I never noticed that the words “create” vs “react” have the same letters. Reminds me of Evian water and “naive”.

@Rinse & rePeat Its one of those things that hasn't been expressed like this before but when it is those who are feel it within as their inner child nods its head and says "Finally! Someone who gets it". 8% of the populace is not a lot and worse still we're all disbanded (although quite a few of them seemed to congregate here which is interesting).

The rest are very low effort. They want things done for them with quick fixes that mean they don't have to change their bad habits or question the narrative. COVID proved this as I looked at it as an intelligence test and once again it proved the mathematics as 81% fell hook line and sinker for the trick of damaging their health under the guise of healing whilst we saw through the slick talk in real time and made better decisions that weren't fear driven.

Part of the problem is that of investment. They are familiar with the devil they know and to question their decisions after a lifetime of repetition is akin to insulting their own intelligence and their false egoic self simply will not tolerate this line of thinking and thus they plod on in quiet desperation in entirely the wrong direction.

There is more to my perspective but, in general, there are two drives in man and one is akin to water flowing downhill ie takes no effort whereas the other is applying your own radiance to that pool, converting it to steam so it rises to a higher state then allowing it to precipitate upstream. The former is easy. The latter takes effort but is very addictive as its a process of incremental betterment that unleashes your true potential and turns life to the adventure it is.

For 81% this is simply too much effort and they'd rather eat potato chips in front of the TV set which is subliminally telling them all kinds of nasty things as virtuality scratches an itch in their subconscious until they doze, wake and do it all again. Never questioning the narrative or what its bringing them beyond a steady decline in all metrics and increasing consumption.

Its no measure of health to be well adjusted to a society profoundly sick. Warriors live by this. Even if it means losing friends and being thought of as a tinfoil lunatic whilst Slaves question them "How did you do that?" "Can you teach me how to do this?" and then tune out the moment they realize it means changing how they think, appraising their habits or examining the assumptions upon which their life is built.

81%/11%/8%.

Get in where you fit in as that is how it is.

This that you said here reminds me of this….

“Remembering yourself as the one whose future is always in question, in doubt and open, you know where youthful energy lives, and I think it starts to feel as though gravity is pulling for you, making things roll toward you-that is, things indicate where they need to go, so it is not necessary to plan, instead, to keep perceiving the possibilities as they open up better generalities.” —Ray Peat

There it is.

I'll admit I knew/know next to nothing about RP as he was a pretty low profile dude, as was his movement, because he didn't go in for the media circus and preferred to preach to those who listened and found him. I only became aware of his perspective after his pivot out of this realm and thats what led me to check in more detail as I'd quickly glimpsed at one of his papers back when as it was an attached reference to something else I was reading about metabolism.

Its all about being in the moment because that is where the magic happens and the only portal that opens beyond this dimension to higher states of awareness. It is also where the inner child sits and is ignored by most of the populace as they're running any which way but within to the true source of wisdom as they think they know everything and thus are rigid in all ways and meaning.

Such are the ills of engaging in the business of living which doesn't even disguise its intent to "urn" you whilst you think you're "earning" aka self murder of your true potential.

“Consumption” caught my eye in what you said here. I think a big problem with the discontent of society is it’s striving to please itself. Being powerful in one’s life is not by consumption, but by giving. There is a no positive chain of everts that come from consumption, only more clawing and climbing to achieve greater heights for more consumption. Receiving takes much less effort and can only be achieved by giving.

Its all about being in the moment because that is where the magic happens and the only portal that opens beyond this dimension to higher states of awareness.

“Magic is really only the utilization of the entire spectrum of the senses. Humans have cut themselves off from their senses. Now they see only a tiny portion of the visible spectrum, hear only the loudest of sounds, their sense of smell is shockingly poor and they can only distinguish the sweetest and sourest of tastes.” – Michael Scott

 

[Warrior]

@Rinse & rePeat That is the secret sauce of why so many relationships fail as its akin to two empty glasses tinkling and asking the other "Gotta drink?".

On the flip a child is overflowing with everything and has so much to give and yet nobody seems to question what happens to dim their immense glow after a couple of decades in this realm. In many ways a lot of what we see from the 81% is engineered to prevent realization of this because consumption as distraction generates a state that is hopeful that all will return to what it was back then.

Never does though, does it? As retail therapy and the hunger for more attests. But if the very definition of madness is doing the same again whilst expecting something else what does that say about most of the planet?

their sense of smell is shockingly poor and they can only distinguish the sweetest and sourest of tastes

This is also very true. Most people are walking around feeling life through a welders mitt due to the process of energetic deadening which is rife at the moment. I'm a Synesthesiac so scents have textures and generate scenes in my awareness which is quite interesting as its not something unique as a lot of people around me have developed it after playing.

I think a lot of our natural faculties and innate skills are atrophied by inculcated ignorance and a lack of fully body presence as the human form is capable of some pretty astounding things.
