“to let go of the attachment to certainty, control, coherence, and consumption of things, to be able to sit with difficult, painful, and complex things“ – Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti

I had the privilege of listening to a podcast this week with Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, courtesy of my colleague Kate Kheel.

“We, here, we talk about developing the stomach. To face the amount of shit that we need to compost without throwing up, without throwing a tantrum, and without throwing in the towel. “   

I feel more optimistic than I have in a decade about the rising numbers of individuals tuning into the downsides of the mass society and economy being drunk on tech, especially wireless  –  and I’ll revisit this phenomenon of throwing up. This is a commentary on recent articles, including some that I didn’t post, while compiling recent news for Safe Tech International’s substack community. I discuss some themes I have written about previously, including Chinese Medicine and energy medicine.

I touch on: writing by hand vs. keyboards, Chinese computers, Wi-Fi on school buses, international policies on cellphones and schools, Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti and sanctioned ignorance, the Chinese Luni-solar calendar, Solar Flares and Geomagnetic Storms, precision agriculture, satellites, lower earth orbit, the senses, electroreception in fish and humans, scientific diplomacy, skin research, chronobiology, electromagnetic bodyguards that protect the Brain, the Gall Bladder, the Glymphatic system, homing Instincts and the Vivaxis, and the energetics of disgust, vs. intestinal fortitude, Radiant Circuits, and joy.

Why Writing by Hand Beats Typing for Thinking and Learning

This week I posted a news brief that explained more clearly why hand-writing is preferable to keyboards.  NPR reported, “In kids, studies show that tracing out ABCs, as opposed to typing them, leads to better and longer-lasting recognition and understanding of letters. Writing by hand also improves memory and recall of words, laying down the foundations of literacy and learning. In adults, taking notes by hand during a lecture, instead of typing, can lead to better conceptual understanding of material. “There are actually some very important things going on during the embodied experience of writing by hand,” says Ramesh Balasubramaniam, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Merced. “It has important cognitive benefits.” A slew of recent brain imaging research suggests handwriting’s power stems from the relative complexity of the process and how it forces different brain systems to work together to reproduce the shapes of letters in our heads onto the page. Research suggests kids learn to recognize letters better when seeing variable handwritten examples, compared with uniform typed examples. This helps develop areas of the brain used during reading in older children and adults, Vinci-Booher found.“

There are some very important things going on during every embodied moment, and problems when we ask the body to un-integrate itself, for example with virtual reality headsets.

Fly Like an Eagle: Chinese Keyboards 20,000 Characters

This week, I also read IEEE Spectrum’s featured article, The Forgotten History of Chinese Keyboards by Thomas S. Mullaney, a professor of Chinese history at Stanford University. “[] one of the most successful and celebrated systems—the IPX, designed by Yeh—featured an interface with 120 levels of “shift,” packing nearly 20,000 Chinese characters and other symbols into a space only slightly larger than a QWERTY interface. Other systems featured keyboards with anywhere from 256 to 2,000 key. [] Yeh started with the most complex parts of the Chinese lexicon and worked back from there. He fixated on one character in particular: ying 鷹 (“eagle”), an elaborate graph that requires 24 brushstrokes to compose.

“Things that make you go hmmmmm”…..Does the intricacy of the Chinese written language and the research regarding hand-writing vs. keystrokes have implications for cognition and brain development?

Whereas China and Russia have already banned cell phones in schools for a number of very good reasons, including protecting children’s eyesight, the U.S is promoting installing Wi-Fi on school buses. See: Rosenworcel Defends FCC’s Authority to Expand E-Rate to WiFi Hotspots “It is time for an E-Rate program that supports the educational needs of students and library patrons and permits them to learn without limits,” Rosenworcel, a Democrat, said in a letter to Capitol Hill lawmakers posted to the FCC’s website on May 22.

The (no limits) FCC doesn’t recognize rising mental health issues in children, including bullying and unsupervised access to social media which is why Senator Cruz opposes funding Wi-Fi on school buses, in addition to the increased RF exposure to children, exacerbated by connecting from a moving vehicle.

Tech-ed industries are ignoring the fact that reading in a moving vehicle makes some people throw up, because the body actually isn’t designed for this, and it causes unnecessary and unhealthy physiological stress.

Do we keep investing in more tech to grow the economy, while ignoring human health and the nature environment? Could we divert funding for school infrastructure expansion and tech upgrades, including security, towards teaching calligraphy, wellness, art, music, and paying teachers?

See Prof Tom Butler, Ireland: A Critical Review of Digital Technology in Education: A Pause for Thought in 2024 “[] radiation interferes with the children’s ability to learn and also has significant other harmful effects, including on the students’ sleep, vision and attention.”

“Sanctioned Ignorances”

Nate Hagens interviewed Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti , the Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria, discussing what she calls ‘hospicing modernity’ –”in order to move beyond the world we’ve come to know and the failed promises that “modernity” has made to our current culture.”  HERE (1 ½ hours)

She noted, “We’re working with sanctioned ignorances that are rewarded.”

This is diametrically opposed to ancient China. If the sages advising the emperor failed to accurately predict the spring thaw, the punishment was death. We would have a lot of dead ‘experts’ including lobbyists and tobacco scientists. if we employed capital punishment and stopped cultivating and sanctioning willful ignorance. They work in plain sight, with no need to hide, in this age of rampant regulatory capture. Medscape confronted tobacco science, as did the World Health Organization historically. so too can utility regulators, legislatures, and the public.   It’s not rocket science.

Counting by Observation – Not Imposing Inaccurate Parameters

In ancient China, as the result of observation and meticulous record keeping (using intricate brush strokes that enhance brain development) an underlying electromagnetic cycle of 12 years was identified. It is depicted in 12 animals seen parading through the Chinese New Years, usually coinciding with the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice. The West observes from a distance, unaware of the complexities transmitted via the qualities associated with the animals, for example, pandemonium when the dog gets into the chicken coop. (The sages were aware that teaching via metaphor also enhances learning and cognition. because it connects both the left and right brain hemispheres.

The sixty-year cycle of the Chinese luni-solar calendar was introduced by Emperor Huang Ti in 2637 B.C. It could be informing not only biodynamic gardening but also health care, because the human body is synchronized by the electromagnetic patterns within the cosmic current, – daily, by the solar year, lunar month, seasons, and in longer cycles, with implications for right timing.

Unless those energies are polluted with interference.

Smart watches and cell phones are out of synch with the cosmos, even more amplified during daylight savings time-initiated as the result of war. We do not know where we are in time and space, or if the guideposts are changing. This makes it challenging to recognize being out of right rhythm.

How One Counts, Counts

As opposed to aligning with the twelve animals cycling through 5 elements, creating a sixty-year cycle, the West has systematized itself to quantifying data by decades and centuries, perhaps sourced back to humans counting on ten fingers.

Now, the World Health Organization has shifted its categories for death into 20-year cohorts, obscuring the earlier onset of skyrocketing and devastating neurological illnesses. See; Bournemouth University (U.K) researchers Colin Pritchard and Emily Rosenorn-Lanng, Neurological deaths of American adults (55–74) and the over 75’s by sex compared with 20 Western countries 1989–2010: Cause for concern. “Have USA total neurological deaths (TNDs) of adults (55-74) and the over 75’s risen more than in twenty Western Countries?” The answer is “Yes.”

A lack of understanding of the synchronization between the cosmos and human life on Earth has worrying implications for plans to colonize Mars or the Moon – not to preserve the light of human consciousness, but to fuel more economic growth and resource acquisition.

We could actually use so called “artificial intelligence” to re-classify data and explore new patterns. But the data has to be collected in the first place. We have instead opted to ridicule reported harm caused by wireless technology, for example, from the pollution caused by the ‘smart grid, with renewables and so-called energy efficiency causing high voltage transients to radiate into occupied living spaces.

Examples of junk data include mis-categorizing microwave hearing as tinnitus from an unknown source, reclassifying certain types of tumors, and not counting all fatalities, for example from industrial exposures. (See: Making a cancer cluster disappear – Center for Public Integrity)

Solar Flares and Geomagnetic Storms

Solar flares were also in this month’s news with adverse effects on precision agriculture. “Strong storms can knock out electric grids, and a storm in 1989 knocked out the entire power grid in Quebec, affecting six million people.” “404 Media published an article that documented problems experienced by the GPS navigation systems in John Deere and other brands of tractors. Precision GPS allows John Deere tractors to navigate precise straight lines using Real-Time Kinematic technology that is accurate to within a few centimeters. Farmers were warned about planting new line crops like corn during the current storm since inaccurately aligned planting makes it impossible to precisely run tractors during the rest of the season for weeding, watering, and fertilizing the rows or crops. The current storm hit during the week when farmers in the Midwest were planting many of their crops.”

Precision agriculture is promoted, for example, to determine when crops need to be watered by sending signals from tractors and fields to satellites and back to computers. This data is being harvested to fuel commodities trading.

In earlier epochs when the sky served as the clock and the calendar, farmers followed guidance passed down for generations about living in the rhythm of nature and knew when to water.

The satellite frenzy has no disposal plan. As Space4Peace noted, “Out of 34,260 objects tracked in orbit, only around 8,300 are functioning satellites while the rest are junk, such as broken satellites or discarded rocket stages.” Can we become more knowledgeable about and protective of the electromagnetic frequencies that sustain life on Earth, including the importance of LEO – lower earth orbit, which is rapidly being transformed into an orbiting junk yard?

If we can’t figure out how to live in harmony on, and with, the planet we co-evolved with across eons of time, how can we become ‘an interplanetary species?’

The Senses

At her site Highly Sensitive Refuge, Heather Lawson published her article Scientists Believe We Have More Than 5 Senses. What Does That Mean for Highly Sensitive People? “Research suggests humans may have up to 33 senses, not five. How many of them could impact your high sensitivity — and sensory overload?” The article references this link: How many senses do humans have? “Defensible answers are: 3: the number of physical types of stimulus: light (photons), chemicals (smell, taste, and internal sensors), mechanical (touch and hearing). 9: vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, pain, mechanoreception (balance etc.), temperature, interoreceptors (e.g. blood pressure, bladder stretch). 21 (see table below) Of course the real answer is that this is the wrong way to look at it. Sensing doesn’t cause perception: real perception is all about integrating information across senses, across time, across space if you are (as is normal) moving around partly in order to perceive better.

“If we go beyond humans then there are many more again: sonar in bats (and some moths); infrared in pit vipers; ultraviolet in bees; magnetic fields detected by some birds (and just possibly, humans too). And perhaps most surprising to humans: the electric senses found in various fish species. Electroreception: the detection of nearby things, particularly other fish, by the electric field they radiate. Active electrolocation, where a fish emits an electric field, and senses how it is changed by nearby objects (especially other fish).”

Electroreception in Humans – is in the Meridians

“Real perception is about integrating all information, especially evidence of harm.”

What if we have more than 33 senses, but we don’t know how to process them? What if we understood the implications of the knowledge that we evolved from fish?

The Chinese recognized electroreception in humans, and we can witness it in real time with our own eyes. If you watch a group of 5–7-year-olds who are just learning to play soccer, watch for the child on one team who can dribble around every other player on the field. He/she didn’t learn it from a drill; the child has a stronger inborn electromagnetic sensory system along the outside line of the body, which tells him/her which way to move. The athlete is responding energetically, via the subtle energy body, faster than the thought process of guessing which way the other player will pivot.

The sensory intelligence is the Gall Bladder Meridian, which runs along both outside edges of the body. Not all humans are endowed equally with Gall Bladder energy, but everyone has it, even if the organ has been removed, and the energy can be cultivated, or abused.  

Scientific Diplomacy – Learning from China and Russia, and Women

If the West were to embrace the teachings of the Chinese seers, we could understand that the Gall Bladder, like all the Meridians, responds in real time to the environment as an electromagnetic, sensory, protective apparatus with mechanical capabilities. Every organ system manifests periods of low and high tides, choreographed by the Sun. Gall Bladder is considered to be an electrical bodyguard for the Heart and the Brain, due to the Law of Midday/Midnight. 

Recognizing Bodyguards: Safeguarding the Brain

The Gall Bladder Meridian (blue on top of skull, working alongside Triple Heater circling around the ear and jaw) can contract, tightening the plates in the skull to protect the Brain from unsafe exposures. This is one probable underlying component of reported symptoms of EHS, or sensitivity to electromagnetic fields., also referred to as microwave poisoning. The defense offers inborn protection against something found in nature- a lightning strike.

We can track an individual’s particular pattern of damage through the Meridians as they alter their functionality, to protect the Heart and the Brain from pollution.

One way the body can do this is through rebellious chi, when energy goes in the wrong direction – by throwing up.

Another way is to have a hollow body organ empty quickly, out of rhythm – like a sudden need to use the restroom or a nosebleed.

This capacity is one reason why the hollow organs are viewed as bodyguards for the other organs in Chinese Medicine and classified as Yang.

The Chinese mystics, astronomers, and healers, with their 20,000 symbols and desire to understand patterns, attempted to identify and treat the cause, and not the symptoms. – the roots and not the branches.

Is Removing the Gall Bladder Akin to Taking the Bulb out of Warning Light?

A contracted skull creates a brain that is pressurized, overheated, dehydrated, and unable to detoxify. (The West has only very recently discovered the brain’s glymphatic system.)

The Gall Bladder alarm has been sounding for quite some time, warning humans that something is out of balance. So has the explosion of chronic childhood illnesses. The Spleen, which distributes Chi throughout the organism, is also under fire especially in women and children, via the tonsils, thyroid and auto-immune illnesses. This has been going on for more than sixty years, (although routine tonsillectomies have fallen out of favor.)

One yogi who came to the U.S. 60 years ago was fond of saying that Americans lost the owner’s manual to their bodies. The Eastern mind-body self-care teachings that align with the cosmic current go against time as money, mass for-profit medicine; standard of care; emphasis on surgery and drugs: mandates; and other modern constructs.

As opposed to the electromagnetic meridian system’s capacity to contract the skull, the idea that health care should align with the planet’s electromagnetic energies, (for example avoiding unnecessary surgery at the full moon to reduce bleeding) causes others to lose their heads, with the vitriol historically resulting in the witch trials.

Just because modern society does not recognize or utilize the accumulated wisdom of the East or indigenous societies does not mean that it will always be this way. We can change this. We have access to the maps. We can learn how to use them.

The canaries with ‘electromagnetic hypersensitivity’ are exposing individualized patterns of electromagnetic distress between the differing meridians and deep internal organs, against the changing backdrop of time, caused by electromagnetic pollution. Many others are experiencing injury and don’t know it.

Skin That Keeps Track of Time

Chronobiology is ancient in the East. The research field of chronobiology is very new in the West. ”Chronobiology is a field of biology that studies how our body’s natural cycles—mental, physical and emotional—are affected by solar and lunar rhythms. For example, the circadian rhythm, a 24-hour cycle of physiological processes that happen throughout the human body, is a vital cycle in the study of chronobiology. When these processes break down, or abnormalities occur in the human body, it’s the study of chronobiology that could be the solution.”

Artificial manmade fields apparently disrupt the symmetry between the body and the cosmic current.

Science Daily recently reported that Synchronization between central circadian clock and circadian clocks of tissues preserves their functioning “Two complementary research articles reveal that central and peripheral circadian clocks coordinate to regulate the daily activity of skin and muscles. The coordination between the two clocks (central and peripheral) guarantees 50% of the circadian functions of tissues, including vital processes such as the cell cycle, DNA repair, mitochondrial activity, and metabolism. Synchronization between the central brain clock and peripheral ones prevents premature muscle aging and improves muscle function, suggesting new strategies to tackle age-related decline through circadian rhythm modulation. The peripheral clock of the skin integrates and modulates brain signals. In the study published in Cell Stem Cell, the team has demonstrated that the skin circadian clock is pivotal in coordinating the daily physiology of this tissue. By integrating brain signals, and sometimes by modifying them, this coordination ensures the correct functioning of the skin.”

Researchers looking for circadian clocks may be discovering the Meridian pathways and/or the 108 Marma points and 72,000 Nadis of India’s Ayurveda, one at a time. What if we looked at the maps?

Homing Instincts – the Vivaxis

In 2000, Australian naturopath Judy Jacka published her book, The Vivaxis Connection, based on the earlier work of Canadian Francis Nixon. Before humans relied on satellite-enabled GPS systems, is it possible that our ancestors who were the most resilient and who survived the demands of challenging environments were also the ones who had the best-developed navigational skills? And what if those skills were not just intellectual, such as navigating by the stars, but were also housed in the energy body itself as another inborn physical sensory system, designed by nature, to help ensure our survival and ability to find our way home? Do humans, like other animals, possess a forgotten inborn homing system?

Dowsers use their bodies as a source of information via subtle energy, for example, to locate water. Churches historically used dowsers to determine placement on a power spot. Does everyone possess the ability to dowse?

The theory of the vivaxis is that a specific location is pause-locked into the energy field at birth. This homing mechanism would have huge implications for survival in earlier times.  Judy explains how this capacity is diminished, and one factor is electromagnetic pollution.

Energy medicine teacher Donna Eden, who can see energy, has been working with the vivaxis for years.  (This includes consideration of migraines as a vivaxis on the Gall Bladder meridian.)

“Without Throwing Up” – Disgust vs. Diplomacy

When Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti addressed the need “to face the amount of shit that we need to compost without throwing up, without throwing a tantrum, and without throwing in the towel“ she warned that not everyone has the intestinal fortitude to read her new book “Hospicing Modernity Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism.”

“It is related to opening that lid as we expand our capacity to see the different moving layers of complexity, to let go of the attachment to certainty, control, coherence, and consumption of things, to be able to sit with difficult, painful, and complex things without feeling overwhelmed or immobilized.”

The Chinese identified the specific pathway in the body related to disgust, where one’s energy field shuts down in response to something un-digestible. It is the Penetrating Flow. The Penetrating Flow also carries Joy, as Donna Eden teaches here in a free class about the Radiant Circuits. (Radiant circuits operate alongside the Meridians, but are activated when needed, for example due to a temperature extreme like falling through the ice.)

Addressing Intellectual Warfare

The ability to detect spoiled food is an evolutionary capacity, and a specific part of the brain is associated with ‘disgust’.

It is not evolutionary to be disgusted by consumers reporting harm to health and the environment from inadequately regulated industries.

We are being indoctrinated into warfare against China and Russia, as well as against ourselves via surveillance tech. The mass media is programming our electromagnetic frequencies and cognition via our emotions.

We can instead use the knowledge of the Radiant Circuits and become absorbed in and entranced by the opportunities we face, and mesmerized by the ancient and indigenous knowledge that can inform our work.

We have the hardware to do this, running in our physicality.

As Paris Marx notes, Tech Won’t Wave Us.

Superspreaders

I learned recently that researchers have studied what they call Key Misinformation Superspreaders,- older women. Here is a short list, courtesy my colleagues at Safe Tech International.

Whichever tech leaders and policy makers stop perpetuating disgust towards each other, and to the men, women, and children who recognize the harm unfolding via tech overreach first (especially wireless) – will be accessing our evolutionary capacities.

Everything else is just pretend progress, pretend sustainability, pretend energy efficiency, pretend conservation, pretend renewables, pretend education, pretend earnings, pretend justice, pretend research, pretend accessibility, pretend science, pretend military prowess and pretend freedom.

When we hold a cell phone to the ear, the ancient seers (who could see energy) would tell us that we are draining our Gall Bladder and Triple Warmer chi and stealing vitality from other organ systems, because of the increased, artificial, external demands on the body.

The Vedic masters might have described it as “burning the Ojas.” “Our vitality, immunity, vigor, skin, sleep, digestion, spirituality and physical strength are all directly influenced by our reserve of ojas. A plentiful reserve of ojas is reflected in the luster of the eyes, radiance of the skin (that glow so detectable in babies and pregnant women), potent fertility, tenacious immunity, strong digestion and clarity of mind.”– John Douillard

While the ancients didn’t have to give advice about Wi-Fi and cellphones, they recognized fatigue and imbalance.

Opening the mind may literally require putting down the phone.

Gall Bladder is associated with courage. Nurturing the Gall Bladder protects the Brain and the Heart, and that is what makes us human.

There is incredible joy is this humble journey, but it is not for the faint of Heart.

As Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti noted, “We are talking about the ability to say the buck stops here, in my generation.”
