a reddit askdocs questioner asks
i got knocked out yesterday, should i get checked out?
was at a show, dude came up behind me by accident and full on punched me in the back of the head and i still have a headache since (this happened yesterday)
when he hit me i blacked out and saw stars and hit the ground full on
i could comprehend what was going on most of the time
just not exactly right when i got hit
my
reply
doesn't sound like an accident, weirdly same thing happened to me many moons ago, complete stranger !
there's not much you can do about it, but take it easy for a year, healing and recovering robustness is that sort of time scale !
maybe take some good quality krill/fish oil to provide EFA's for brain repair and dampen inflammation ! :o) ?
imo, MRI's cause a certain amount of
damage from the intense magnetic and rf fields channelled into the brain and should not be done unless there are very good reasons !

To use on ewk when he's got his nose too deep in his books (again) or such
my
reply
lol, if you can crack ewk you are a better man than me ! :o)
he wouldn't blink in front of a firing squad ! :o)
ewk's big advantage is coming from a christian background so he can compare things and that's too much of an advantage for you lot to be able to handle him !
zen and Buddhism is a small but interesting part of the mystical universe, if you have the wider perspective of the larger mystical universe then you are always going to win against the zen/buddhism blinkered !
ewk really needs to move into poetry to start to lift his horizons much further
but I don't think he will do that ! :o(
ewk if you are reading this, look at Emily Dickinson and Charles bukowski, they are more fully zen than the limited and distorted recordings we have of any zen master !
you have educated me a lot about how good some of these ancients were, any return favour is for you to pick up just like I picked up from your posting ! :o)(
posting has only one purpose, that's to improve one's understanding and you should be a different person coming out of writing a post than you went in ! :o)(

...as long as the firing squad was on reddit, firing comments

my
reply
the trick is to use places like reddit to further your own development, if people like ewk want to further your development and take no advantage to themselves well that's the way the cookie crumbles, just look to what is to your benefit and in a way with this sort of thing it's real koan work and not going in some circle of of stupid repetition !
that way you come out on top tautologically !
what cripples everyone here on reddit zen is low grade reading, so they pretty well get stuck forever in some bypass called “ mediocre stupid ! ” :o()
it's a wide wide world/universe, you can't hope to understand it
with blinkers called “ zen ” on :o)(
you are just ignorant and stupid and I can tell you that

sepehr g. summarizes the ending of Andrei Tarkovsky's film “ the mirror/Zerkalo ”
let's say you're lying on bed and your memory resurfaces
and you dream of all your loved ones, your regrets, and etc.
You also get many people and their roles confused
(since retrieval of memory is not perfect).
You start getting sad and feeling remorseful, beating yourself over many events that have happened in your life ( “ he said this! she said that! ” “ why couldn't you have... ” ) , and etc.
Your dreams start overtaking you, but at the end you simultaneously accept and nullify yourself when you let go of the bird in your hand, and it flies to the wide expansive field
my
reply
you are reading viewing quality stuff like Emily Dickinson and “ the mirror ” and its pulling you ahead !
thatʼs a good bit of writing !
iʼm going with the view now that its reading this quality stuff say compared with pap shit like suzuki and watts that is really the sole divider of those who make progress and those who donʼt and as far as I can see those who read quality are in the
.00001% area ! :o()
“ The Truth in Hypocrisy ”
by
sepehr g.
The end has come. Riots in the streets, children to feed. Stray cats and dogs abound. Lifelessness in the man’s eyes overcome by fear. In the middle of it all, looking around. Not even the poetry of the Greats can soothe the confusion of what was lost
Find myself outside the Zendo
Forgetting whether “ I ” have ever done Zazen or not, simply walking around the center just taking in the trees with melancholy. The voice in my head chatters in despair of what has come. Does my age, accumulated experience, or thoughts matter at this point ? Trying to hear a poem to console me but only a morbid silence. Give up with the thinking and judgments of good and bad. The end of defining myself, of measuring myself, to the fiction that is no one
Without thought, automatically walk into the Zendo . . . Is it right to say “ again ” or whether I was ever here but now ? Suddenly hearing the drones zoom above, knowing this may be the end, no one to speak to. Who am I to find myself here ? People say they would do Zazen even to the last breath, but the echoes of my trembling joints are my only companions in here
Mind gone blank for a second, and a reformation of everything that was or will be
Legs crossed with nothing to say or think – sitting. There is no wall in front of ‘me’, there is no ‘me’ in relation to the wall, but everything paradoxically felt to have a “ say ”.
There is no death but only a flowering End
Explosion of erect spine dismantled
A poem resounds signifying the end of Becoming :
From here to there,
You sought –
and fought –
Amongst the background of issuing stillness.
Lingering in the cascade of life,
the facade of such stillness [0]
unbounds to reveal itself []
As a hand that lets go of the wilted flower.
Glistening petals flying to the bright moon

thoughts on my strange experience ?
i was lying in bed thinking about the future, everything i desire, etc. i started to focus on how much i wanted things, feeling the desire burn through me. then i had a thought/feeling: what if i already have it all? i breathed deeply and basically meditated on that question. what if i already have it all?
i felt as though a wave was taking me away. for a moment, my consciousness completely shifted and it felt like something was consuming me. it was when i honestly felt like i was about to die when it stopped. it was probably one of the most frightening moments i've experienced
i don't know if any of this even makes sense but it's hard to put into words. and now i regret even writing about this because i think i complicated it too much. oh well.
my
reply
do you take drugs? on medications? why are you so messed up, what you wrote is the most obscene putrefying thing I have ever read because it is sewage filthy !
it's honestly as sick, like mujushinkyo and dharmabumzz are sick with their stupid pretend enlightenment and your pretend satori !
I can't state it strongly enough , you have built something really weird and insane, not even voynich, something sicker than that !
you are exactly the sort of toxic monk who tells the master how it is in the old stories !
making fairy tales is such an intrinsic part of your being you can't even tell that you are doing the process, it is quite opaque to you !
you can't do it of course, but you have to go right back and completely rework everything you think you understand so that such movements pick you up and leave you on the right road !
you are a turd rolling in a sewer and no doubt will move further into the toxic space that reddit zen specializes in ! :o(
no doubt you will be offended and what I have just said totally beyond you, but actually just writing this I can see how the perversion of mujushinkyo and dharmbumzz comes into being and sustains themselves in such atoxic wacked out space !
crazy
crazy
crazy.............
actually the more i think about it, the more i can see where you are going wrong, you are trying to graft something on that has to happen in childhood, only if you have that background of childhood experience can it develop in a fruitful way the way...............
you have synthesized something from the usual reading of zen populist crap and ended up with a fetid abortion and this is your life man !
you you would be better advised (ha ! your arrogance prevents you from taking what i say seriously) to look more closely at this corrupt process you have been embarking on and unstitch it ! :o(
i am not tying to persuade you of anything.
like mujushinkyo and dharmabumzz you are your own toxic doom and who am i to stop it and think things should be any other way ! ?
------------------------------
basically what you have done is mix the genuine with the insanely fabricated in a way that is really repulsive ! :o()

you haven't had any genuine insight you fraudulent fucker !
yeah, i am really enlightened and not a crap artist like yourself ! :o(
if you had a genuine experience and not some macdonald's version you would be able to address what I say, as it is you just cry “ mommy ” and are stuck in a child's egocentricity !
genuine contact with infinity

“ your website advocating your bcd diet and your compendium seem to be researched with reference to journal articles, and it is obvious that you believe in good nutrition. however, you are somewhat critical of vaccination, and seem to hold negative views of contemporary medicine ”
my
reply
it's not critical of vaccination per se, it's just the very unresearched nature of the vaccines and schedules and lack of male/female and age differentiation in vaccine design !
it's chronically underfunded from a research point of view , it really has to be a governmental responsibility !
the downside of this lack of research is of course a degree of vaccine injury that is not acceptable !
people don't realize way way more money has gone into heart/cardiovascular and aids research, ( and wars !!!) yet the effectiveness and ability to limit the damage of childhood vaccinations is what our futures are built on ! :o)
I have even seen adults damaged by travel vaccines !
so my beef with vaccines is more an issue of successful implementation and the need for lower damage rates which is really a question of vastly increased governmental research funding !
--------------
lol good nutrition is a bit of a “ fata morgana ” these days ! :o)

i'm not negative on medicine, just horses for courses and the
BCD program is all about avoiding the need for involvement in the medical system !
it's a very obvious attitude on askdocs of course, where people take no personal responsibility for health and proxy it all to those wonderful doctors who most of whom can afford for their wives not to work and cook good home meals etc and look after them :o) !
i'm going to say something not that palatable, but it's really that askdocs questioners come from a background of very poor personal health care that in fact doctors themselves do not share , and have a childlike faith in medicine that again that doctors do not share !
--------------
the
BCD is the outgrowth of my own working on digestive issues and it's also a development of the
SCD diet, unfortunately Elaine gottschall who developed the scd diet is no longer with us, so the bcd to a certain extent picks up and modernizes where she left off with the important notions of gut microbiome and biofilm, which were really her idea actually, but she died in 2005 ! :o(
I do notice that a lot of askdocs questioners have issues that are well targeted by the BCD and SCD and in fact diet is one area the medicine is very inverted on, frankly diet is so time intensive it does not pay for them to give it adequate attention !
the scd diet was actually taken and and butchered down shall we say to become the gfcf diet !

“ no order or disorder ”
zen physics for ewk ! hyperuniformity !
“ states of disordered
hyperuniformity behave like crystal and liquid states of matter, exhibiting order over large distances and disorder over small distances
like crystals, these states greatly suppress variations in the density of particles — as in the individual granules of a substance — across large spatial distances so that the arrangement is highly uniform
at the same time, disordered hyperuniform systems are similar to liquids in that they have the same physical properties in all directions !
[...] while individual cones of the same type appear to be unconnected, they are actually subtly linked by exclusion regions, which they use to self-organize into patterns
multi-hyperuniformity is crucial for the avian system to evenly sample incoming light ”
--------------
if you look at the pattern of our lives, they are disordered in the immediate, but ordered over some very consistent patterns in the long term !
it is actually an implementation of “ avoiding picking and choosing ” in that the mutual exclusion zones of the cones are preferentially aligned in terms of a bias in favour of “ not self ” against self
enlightenment is a further bias than the normal “ hyperuniformity ” into what is not ourselves and gives the magically clear and transparent sight characteristic of those greats (minds) who manage to transcend our usual vortextual attraction into our own world of familiarity.......

“ i'm 41 year old female, bp is 125/75, weight abut 78kg, 158cm tall. problems in past with high cholesterol and bp. is this bp okay? ”

interestingly, if you have large difference of blood pressure between the arms,
it's a very significant
indicator of problems !
“ if there was a difference of at least 10 mm hg in the systolic blood pressure readings between the two arms, it indicated the likelihood of a blocked artery
a difference of 15 mm hg or more was linked to an increased risk of peripheral vascular disease, or the narrowing arteries supplying the arms and legs,
and the development of cardiovascular disease
there is also an increased risk of developing peripheral vascular with a difference of 10 mm hg or higher
many patients who had developed peripheral vascular disease suffered reduced blood flow to the legs and feet
the risk of decreased blood flow to the brain was increased 1.6 times.
a significant difference in blood pressure was associated with a 70% increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 60% increased risk of death from any cause
it didn’t matter which arm had the higher or lower blood pressure ”

breaking a new cfl is not good because the phosphor in old lamps soaks up the mercury !
the basic problem is if you have any liquid mercury around and it is evaporating into the air that is then breathed !

i did make sure the bag was almost full before vacuuming tho, to help absorb any mercury !

imo atheism is actually another form of religious belief !
“ how is atheism a belief? what belief is there? is off a tv channel as well? ”
it's a disbelief in a certain type of god and doesn't ask what god is
which is actually not really answerable !
in practical terms atheism is human worshipping/humanistic !
thewhitenoise replies quoting me
“ it's a disbelief in a certain type of god ”
no, it's a lack of belief in the god hypothesis
“ doesn't ask what god is, which is actually not really answerable ! ”
this makes no sense. if you can't define god, then how can anyone believe in one?
“ in practical terms atheism is human worshipping/humanistic ! ”
no, it's really not. it simply means you're not a theist
it has nothing to do with worshipping other things.
my
reply
yeah but what is god?

I ask again, “ what is god ” !?
imo atheism is actually another form of religious belief !
“ how is atheism a belief? what belief is there? is off a tv channel as well? ”
it's a disbelief in a certain type of god and doesn't ask what god is
which is actually not really answerable !
in practical terms atheism is human worshipping/humanistic !
thewhitenoise replies quoting me
“ it's a disbelief in a certain type of god ”
no, it's a lack of belief in the god hypothesis
“ doesn't ask what god is, which is actually not really answerable ! ”
this makes no sense. if you can't define god, then how can anyone believe in one?
“ in practical terms atheism is human worshipping/humanistic ! ”
no, it's really not. it simply means you're not a theist
it has nothing to do with worshipping other things.

the problem with tanning beds is they are designed to tan and not make vitamin D
what you want from a health point of view is not to tan and make vitamin D !
so I build my own broadband uvb

it definitely does something that vitamin D supplementation alone doesn't do !
I think there are solarium beds specifically designed to give vitamin D,
where they would be I don't know
in fact I feel my homebuilt lamp is the best solution, the ideal solarium would have UVB for the vitamin D, a minimal amount of UVA and strong amounts of infra red and the colour red, but this doesn't exist yet !
--------------
what you want to avoid is high UVA tanning beds because that is more dangerous than sunlight
the other thing is you do not want to tan, tanning reflects skin damage and reduces the amount of vitamin D made !
this simple factor has made the whole tanning bed business a nightmare ! :o)(

well the consensus of people who knew the situation is it is mostly mike cross's !
nishijima's English is/was very very poor !
they were both crazy of course devoting so much of their life to translating rubbish ! :o(
mike's view now is he should have never got involved in zen (despite getting/receiving and giving transmission) and that nishijima really screwed him up , brad warner also was hugely damaged imo !

hi all, i found this poem by ikkyū sōjun in an italian edition of a selection of poems from his “ crazy cloud ” anthology
i couldn't find its english translation, and since i needed some opinions about the poem's content i translated it myself (quite roughly... sorry!):
for the monks in their last hour
when the demon of death
murderer will be in front of you,
who will you ask
the ultimate question to?
you are pressed by a thousand matters,
haunted by every kind of desire,
try closing the windows of the senses,
but the winds of the world blow through them
and keep opening them.
the point that struck me is “ who will you ask the ultimate question to? ” i think this is formulated in such a way that it may as well be the ultimate question itself, having the same meaning of several koans pointing to the buddha-nature
that would give something like a recursive taste to the poem... what is your opinion about ikkyū's ultimate question?
my
reply
death is no demon and I am the murderer, ultimate questions, I passed long ago
desire is as it is and I blew out/the wind lifted me out windows long ago
I
am

death and

“ how can an observer observe himself? ”
in that case, how can I observe you ?
there is no sense of helping or having to help others at all in zen !
i'm not saying it doesn't occur, but this is the meaning of "there are no teachers in zen !"
it's almost total
nonsense , some combination of a bad translation
and shockingly inaccurate transcription no doubt !
you are not enlightened, have an opposite understanding

yeah, i think my heart rate had definitely increased !
maybe not so sure about that !
how old/size the shiitake mushrooms are has a big impact on their toxin levels imo,
rather like field mushrooms !
also the time of year grown may have an impact, mid, late summer being bad ? here in tasmania ?
broths with water from cooking the shiitakes is/are ok i think ! :o)
it's funny, when i look at that, i think of all the murder and chaos to follow !
oddly enough even the springwater center which supposedly broke away from zen
still had a fascist streak whereas the Korean kwan um center's didn't
dharmabumzz asks
you didn't answer my question. when do you think you determined that a quote could show someone was enlightened? if that's too personal, i understand, but damn that's interesting.
edit: i mean, was it when you read that poem, or another one? if it was while reading a text, which one was it?
my
reply
it's more that your question comes from a fragmented space that just doesn't yield for either both the expression of the question or any sort of answer !
my view of dogen is probably twenty years work, he's an absolutely fascinating example of scripting and semantic pragmatic disorder...............
once you see the scripting you see he's really on shaky ground..........
but on the other hand there is something to him and very occasionally one comes across writing/quotes of his that are so bang on it's astounding, almost like it's written by a completely different person !
so this actually raises the issue of what dogen wrote himself and what was recorded as transcribers can rewrite what they regard as incomprehensible and a mistake into what they regard as comprehensible and correct/the truth, but you have completely lost what was said originally !
enlightenment is a disjunctively different viewpoint about the true nature of reality and for that to happen you have to be infilled by infinity since the knowledge is not within our power !
so my re translation of one of dogen's last
poems (he died twenty three days later in late august) is
how distant my life
below the snow line
now I am lost
diffused into the clouds
of
kinome
pass !
that is truly infilled !
it's the infilling that is true, you cannot fake it !
eihei dogen was a crazy mixed up guy and it took the approaching death from tuberculosis to straighten him out into real mysticism !
“ there is a famous japanese saying that goes, ‘ rinzai for the shogun and the samurai, soto for the farmers ’ ”
soto zen existed way before reformed rinzai under hakuin ekaku and drew it's support from the ruling class in Kyoto and dogen himself was the illegitimate son of a prime minister !
it's quite interesting to read dogen's accounts of his travels in china, he was obviously treated as upper class with the emperor of china himself personally answering a petition dogen made about his unordained status in china ! (lol, not a favourable reply !)
things don't change from their origins and I distrust that saying you quote (the quote is prior to hakuin's reformation of rinzai?) as I don't think hakuin was enamoured of the military and his dealing were with villagers, who knows it may have been the non conformist elements in the samurais who were a very rough and non homogenous bunch, basically licensed brigands :o)
because japan was up until the nineteenth century a feudal society the fact is that any religion is going to reflect the power structure which was oriented around warlords and their armies so both soto and rinzai are going to reflect that and with the modernization of japan in the meiji era, they simply moved their ideologies into continuing support for militant nationalism !
the test of soto is the way the doctrine is configured which punitively imposes blind obedience and being uninformed compared to hakuin/rinzai
which at least as far as/from hakuin's point of view is totally open !
soto was essentially a propaganda arm for nationalist government from the meiji era, that includes the occupation of korea and that's not mild conformance, but the total promotion of militarism and given its doctrinal basis and approach
one can see how easily it was able to glide into this !
why I am interested is that the soto zen in west appears particularly toxic giving rise to ignorant twits like yourself rigid past the point of stupidity and soooo bloody dumb !
this is I feel is due to the malfeasance of the engraving of zazen without adequate reading and broad knowledge, in short the product is ignorant narcissistic twits ! :o)
----------------------------------------
both soto and rinzai zen existed over very long historical periods and no doubt popularity and support by various groups waxed and waned, but the role of soto zen in supporting nationalist militarism from the meiji era until the end of world war 2 is well documented !
why this is important in terms of zen in the west is that zen was discredited by its role in the support of world war 2 and that loss of home base support sent some priests looking for more fertile grounds into the usa after the war !
hakuun
yasutani was actually ordered to come to the usa by soto zen because of his embarrassingly unchanged extreme nationalism !

soto zen funding several “zeros” for ww2 is all you need to know about soto zen !
--------------
the problem with soto is it had its origins in a militarist feudal society and was intentionally dumbed down to suit an ethos of soldiers obeying their leaders unquestioningly and being prepared to die for whatever greater glory !: o)
that is, it's intrinsically a militarist doctrine !
brad warner is a good example of how soto goes wrong, less general knowledge than a five year old and proud of it !
dogen did not become properly enlightened until his last years and this is another issue as everyone takes dogen's zen from his younger years because they cannot accept that they themselves will never be enlightened and the later more poetic and less comprehensible work is actually reflective of a truer/true enlightenment !

“ what are the disadvantages of abstinence? ”
that portion of the sperm made by the prostate contains what is called a protease, that is an enzyme that cuts open protein, presumably to help the sperm slice into the egg !
unfortunately as levels of this enzyme build up in the prostate, some leaks out into the urinary tract with undesirable consequences like making the tract more susceptible to infection imo !
that is the main disadvantage of not having regular ejeculation imo!
so I think there is some physiological requirement for ejeculation, what frequency is hard to say, having been celibate for extended periods, there are certainly advantages in terms of energy and focus to complete ejeculatory abstinence !
the other aspect of abstinence is the question of sex drive which is not at all resolvable,
but pornography is toxic !
men have abstinence easy compared to women because I think women need sex or at least “ advanced ” masturbation for hormones !

which is the same as saying that practice doesn't lead to enlightenment, which is the same as saying not practicing leads to enlightenment !

see the problem is that zen is essentially deconstructive or the process of deconstruction, yet in practical implementation in terms of some communal reality it always ends up being constructive !

“ mostly in the first days and weeks, depending on the pre-treatment of the material, considerable amounts of nickel may get released
this is due to the mechanical strain of the implant during the surgery.
the deformation damages the thin layer of oxide covering the material

“ I've noticed that a couple of times after having a long make-out session that my stomach hurts
is there a reason that this happens? ”
Ingesting bad bacteria ! try eating a yogurt afterwards !
the more meds you take, the more you get cross amplifying of side effects !
Dizziness is a common side effect of Tramadol and Cyclobenzaprine
Cyclobenzaprine can break down muscle and cause tachycardia
What you have
got is three meds with cross amplifying side effects !
--------------
you are not wanting to hear what I am saying are you!
the doc just gave you some nonsense name (ed. postural orthostatic tachycardia !) and you are happy ! :o(
to survive long term you have to absolutely minimise med use and sort out other things, you cannot live twenty or thirty years with any quality of life with the level of dose and number of meds you are taking !
--------------
the combined side effects of multiple medications can be very destructive of any quality of life and in some cases fatal !
the side effects of three concurrent medications can be not three times, but nine times worse in certain overlapping areas than them individually !
“ I'm curious, have you read any of the masters' works in their original language? ”
what I have done occasionally is translate/retranslate some poems I like and that's about it, that's across several languages
so you could know medieval and later period japanese, that would help with eihei dogen, matsuo bashō, ryōkan taigu and hakuin ekaku but you would be stuck with ancient greek (sappho, heraclitus !) or teresa of avila's spanish !
there are also huge issues with what was actually said or written since sources get combined, or transcribers give their version or copiers make mistakes and give their version as well
even Emily Dickinson just amazed me, you would think not much could go wrong, but some of her poems don't make sense unless you read them in her original handwriting ! :o)(
first off, you are on autistic spectrum, your brain is structurally different from most people !
i am also that way which is why you wrote to me !
a lot of what you describe is actually quite normal for this structural difference !
you have an over compartmentalized view of human biology and biochemistry, it just doesn't partition that neatly at all !
you were fortunate to stop chelation within one and half weeks,
i have seen plenty of permanent
wreckage !
what comes to mind with you apart from you/r not eating or doing supplements right is questions about thyroid function and blood sugar !
it's really quite involved to look at these things, they have to be taken piecemeal, like the first question about thyroid function is where do you live (roughly !) so one can gauge whether selenium supplementation is important !
( if you are in
germany it is important ! )
it's literally years of work and putting all the small pieces in place to slowly step up to some improved height on !
there is a message
board you are welcome to join where these things are discussed !
there's no requirement to do things a particular way, it's purely for discussion !
--------------
yeah i think you have an autoimmune problem, one reason why you don't get ill, but in other areas you suffer !
you can't trust thyroid tests, the best way is you can check your thyroid function by putting a couple of drops of topical
iodine tincture on the underside of the wrist and seeing what that does to how you feel and your energy levels !
i still am suss of your blood sugar, try
