In the article on the Law of Motion, I talk about the fact that every time I see appear the notion of the expansion of the Universe, my cells react and awaken in me a sensation « No, the Universe is not expanding »;
Whereas, the Universe is expanding, but…
Space, the first step of Life
When I began to study Ayurveda, the Traditional Indian Medicine, I wanted to understand the nature of Prana in relation to Qi.
I compared the elements and philosophy of the two medical systems.
Qi arises from unmanifested unity and becomes the essential matter constituting the Universe.
Prana is the energy that springs forth from the creative act to become individuation.
That’s when I realized that yes, the Universe is expanding. Space filled with creative energy must appear to allow the return movement of particles that will meet and give life to matter.
In the cycle of the five movements of Yin-Yang:
Qi belongs to the generative cycle,
Prana, from the world of formless, to the regulation cycle,
The sequence of the five major elements of Ayurveda corresponds to the cycle of counteracting.
Qi in TCM represents the movement of the Yin/Yang duality that allows life to exist and find balance. It is the energy of vital energy.
Prana in Ayurveda represents dynamization, the evolution of something into something else. It is the physical manifestation of vital energy.
♫♫♫
I understand that the Universe is expanding. But a question remains. I can’t seem to find a clear intuition between two options:
The Universe is in continuous and constant expansion. Is there a relationship between our physical and conscious capabilities, our knowledge, and the limits of the Universe? Does this expansion have a limit? Or is it infinite?
The Universe expands when it makes a quantum leap to increase its space and allow for new conscious experiences of life. Does it stop or slow down its expansion when there is enough space to live this new experience? Must we wait for the end of the expansion to understand the experiences of new physical realities? Can we, and/or have we, sought to determine if the expansion of the Universe has always occurred? If it always occurs at the same rate? Is it the same at all points in the Universe? Or is it relative?
♫♫♫
Whatever the answers to these questions, our world is governed by laws stemming from the Duality Energy / Matter – Conscious.
For example: on Earth, water flows downwards; we are born, live, and die. If other multiverses exist, the laws and living beings may be governed by different laws and different physical realities.
Today, the Universe is expanding, and on Earth, we are experiencing climate change, shifts in mindsets, in capabilities… a chaos that reveals a vast evolution. Where will it lead? I don’t know, but… everything is evolving.
♫♫♫
Ki-Regeneration® is also evolving
My initial in-depth studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda have proven to me that my approach and the idea of developing a self-regenerative medicine based on the human body’s natural and innate capacity to auto-regenerate in order to maintain balance are entirely relevant. But there’s a lot of work to be done to develop this medicine. I don’t have the funding to do it, and I don’t see how to set up a research project to address this.
I have created the Balanced Auto-Evolution Model of the Human Body. This allows me to define where to place my hands to utilize the quantum synaptic and auto-regenerative capacities of certain organs, in order to update the Plan Universal of the human body.
Time evolves, and so do we.
I am focusing on two applications:
Helping people who are starving to be able to nourish themselves with prana. I have developed pranic functions and can transmit them through Ki-Regeneration®.
Developing a auto-balanced evolution protocol of body that uses the sense of touch, the Braille. The senses have already shown their therapeutic power via olfactology, art therapy, etc. In the same principle, I wish to use Braille and the quantum capacity of the human body in order to help people renew altered biological functions:
Ki-Regeneration® to connect the universal and individual libraries of the human body and activate the commands for biological auto-regeneration functions.
The sense of touch and Braille to activate brain plasticity,
And the application of an upgrade protocol depending on the desired effect:
This could be, for example, motor skills sessions following a stroke, to help recover walking or the use of upper limbs,
A Ki-Regeneration® protocol to renew biological functions that were not developed during pregnancy.
♫♫♫
I have completed the theoretical work. I have developed a series of booklets in Braille to begin the trials.
I am currently developing the protocols, which will need to be validated with participants. To this end, I am seeking employment in hospital, institutional, non-profit, or humanitarian settings. This would allow me to put Ki-Regeneration® and Braille into practice, integrating them with existing knowledge and treatments.
In parallel, I would like to train in Marma therapy to learn how to recognize and manage imbalances in the body, thereby enabling me to bring energetic expertise to treatments and open up new areas of application.
If you have any job offers or questions, I will be pleased to answer them. Please send an email to obel.bourgait@gmail.com.
Thank you for taking the time to read this page.
May the evolution of Humanity lead us to Peace on Earth.
Dans l’article sur la loi du Mouvement, je parles du fait qu’à chaque fois que je vois apparaître la notion d’expansion de l’Univers, mes cellules réagissent et éveillent en moi une sensation « Non l’Univers n’est pas en expansion » ;
Alors que si, l’Univers est en expansion, mais…
L’espace, le premier pas de la Vie
Lorsque j’ai commencé à étudier l’Ayurvédia, la médecine traditionnelle indienne, j’ai voulu comprendre la nature du Prana par rapport au Qi.
J’ai comparé les éléments et la philosophie des 2 médecines.
Le Qi nait de l’unité non manifesté et devient la matière essentielle constituant l’Univers.
Le Prana est l’énergie qui jaillit de l’acte créateur pour devenir individuation.
C’est là que j’ai réalisé que oui, l’Univers est en expansion. Il faut que l’espace remplie d’énergie créatrice apparaisse, pour permettre le mouvement retour des particules, qui vont se rencontrer et donner vie à la matière.
Dans le cycle des 5 mouvements du Yin-Yang :
Le Qi appartient au cycle d’engendrement,
Le Prana du monde de la non forme, au cycle de régulation.
L’enchainement des 5 grands éléments de l’Ayurveda correspondent au cycle de contre-domination.
Le Qi de la MTC, représente le mouvement de la dualité Yin / Yang qui permet à la vie d’exister et de s’équilibrer. L’énergie de l’énergie vitale.
Le Prana de l’Ayurveda, représente la dynamisation, l’évolution de quelque chose vers autre chose. La matière de l’énergie vitale.
♫♫♫
J’ai compris que l’Univers est en expansion. Mais une question subsiste. Je n’arrive pas à avoir une intuition claire entre 2 options :
L’Univers est en expansion continuelle et constante. Existe-t-il un rapport entre nos possibilités physiques, conscientes, nos connaissances et la limite de l’Univers ? Cette expansion a-t-elle un limite ? Ou est-elle infinie ?
L’Univers est en expansion lorsqu’il réalise un saut quantique afin d’augmenter son espace pour permettre de nouvelles expériences conscientes de Vie. Est-ce qu’il arrête ou ralentit son expansion lorsqu’il y a assez d’espace pour vivre cette nouvelle expérience ? Est-ce qu’il faut attendre la fin de l’expansion pour comprendre les expériences des nouvelles réalités physiques ? Pouvons-nous et/ou avons-nous cherché à savoir si l’expansion de l’Univers a toujours eut lieu ? Si elle a toujours la même vitesse ? Est-elle la même en tous points de l’Univers ? Ou est-elle relative ?
♫♫♫
Quelque soit les réponses à ces questions, notre monde est régit par des lois issues de la Dualité Énergie / Matière – Consciente.
Par exemple : sur Terre l’eau coule vers le bas, nous naissons, vivons et mourrons. Si d’autres multivers existent, les lois et les êtres vivants peuvent répondre à d’autres lois et d’autres réalités physiques.
Aujourd’hui l’Univers est en expansion et sur Terre, nous vivons un changement climatique, des changements de mentalités, de capacités,… un chaos qui montre une évolution de grande ampleur. Pour aller où, je ne sais pas, mais… tout évolue.
♫♫♫
La Ki-Regeneration® évolue aussi
Les premières études approfondies de la Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise et l’Ayurveda, me prouvent que ma démarche et l’idée de développer une Médecine auto-régénératrice basée sur la capacité naturelle et innée du corps humain à s’auto-régénérer pour rester équilibré sont tout à fait pertinentes. Mais il y a beaucoup de travail pour développer cette médecine. Je n’ai pas les finances pour le faire et je ne vois pas comment monter un projet de recherche pour y remédier.
J’ai réalisé le modèle de l’Auto-Évolution Équilibré du Corps Humain. Je peux ainsi définir où poser les mains pour utiliser les capacités synaptiques quantiques et auto-régénératrices de certains organes afin de mettre à jour le Plan Univers du corps humain.
Le Temps évolue, Nous aussi.
Je me focalise sur 2 applications :
Aider les personnes qui meurent de faim à pouvoir se nourrir du prana. J’ai développé les fonctions praniques et je peux les transmettre grâce à la Ki-Regeneration®.
Développer un protocole d’évolution auto-équilibré du corps qui utilise le sens du toucher, le Braille. Les sens ont déjà montré leur pouvoir thérapeutique via l’olfactologie, l’art thérapie, … Dans le même principe, je souhaite utiliser le Braille et la capacité quantique du corps humain afin d’aider les personnes à renouveler les fonctions biologiques altérées :
La Ki-Regeneration® pour connecter les Bibliothèques universelles et individuelles du corps humain, et activer les commandes des fonctions biologiques d’auto-régénération.
Le sens du toucher, le Braille, pour activer la plasticité cérébrale,
Et l’application d’un protocole de mise à niveau en fonction de l’effet recherché.
Ceci pourrait être par exemple les séances de motricité suite à un AVC, afin d’aider à la récupération de la marche ou l’usage de ses membres supérieurs,
Un protocole de Ki-Regeneration® pour renouveler des fonctions biologiques qui n’ont pas été développées durant la grossesse,
…
♫♫♫
J’ai terminé la théorie. J’ai développé une série de livrets en braille pour débuter les essais.
Je suis entrain de développer les protocoles, qui seront à valider au-près de personnes. Pour cela, je recherche un travail en milieu hospitalier, institutionnel, associatif, humanitaire,… Je pourrai mettre en pratique la Ki-Regeneration® et le Braille, en l’intégrant aux connaissances et aux soins existants.
En parallèle, je souhaite me former à la marmathérapie pour apprendre à reconnaitre et gérer les déséquilibres du corps, et ainsi pouvoir apporter une expertise énergétique aux soins, et ouvrir d’autres champs d’applications.
Si vous avez une proposition de travail, des questions. Je serai ravie d’y répondre. Envoyer un mail à obel.bourgait@gmail.com.
Avec tous mes remerciements pour avoir pris le temps de lire cette page.
Puisse l’évolution de l’Humanité nous mener à la Paix sur Terre.

Why does contemplating the Imaginary Worlds of the Art Universe allow self-healing, if no memory, emotion, or fear blocks the process of self-regeneration?
Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.
To answer this question, I rely on 3 reference books:
« The Biology of Belief » by Bruce Lipton, p101
As more complex animals evolved, specialized cells took over the job of monitoring and organizing the flow of the behavior regulating signal molecules. These cells provided a distributed nerve network and central information processor, a brain. The brain’s function is to coordinate the dialogue of signal molecules within the community. Consequently, in a community of cells, each cell must acquiesce control to the informed decisions of its awareness authority, the brain. The brain controls the behavior of the body’s cells. This is a very important point to consider as we blame the cells of our organs and tissues for the health issues we experience in our lives.
EMOTIONS : FEELING THE LANGUAGE OF CELLS
In higher, more aware life forms, the brain developed a specialization that enabled the whole community to tune into the status of its regulatory signals. The evolution of the limbic system provided a unique mechanism that converted the chemical communication signals into sensations that could be experienced by all of the cells in the community. Our conscious mind experiences these signals as emotions. The conscious mind not only “reads” the flow of the cellular coordinating signals that comprise the body’s “mind” it can also generate emotions, which are manifested through the controlled release of regulatory signals by the nervous system.
At the same time that I was studying the mechanics of the cell’s brain and gaining insight into the operation of the human brain, Candace Pert was studying the human brain and becoming aware of the mechanics of the cell’s brain. In Molecules of Emotion, Pert revealed how her study of information-processing receptors on nerve cell membranes led her to discover that the same “neural” receptors were present on most, if not all, of the body’s cells. Her elegant experiments established that the “mind” was not focused in the head but was distributed via signal molecules to the whole body. As importantly, her work emphasized that emotions were not only derived through a feedback of the body’s environmental information. Through self-consciousness, the mind can use the brain to generate “molecules of emotion” and override the system. While proper use of consciousness can bring health to an ailing body, inappropriate unconscious control of emotions can easily make a healthy body diseased, a topic I will expand upon in Chapters 6 and 7. Molecules of Emotion is a very insightful book describing the scientific discovery process. It also provides some revealing insights into the struggles encountered when trying to introduce new “ideas” into science’s Old Boys Club, a subject with which I am all too familiar! (Pert 1997)
Molecules of emotion by Candace B. Pert, p141
If we accept the idea that peptides and other informational substances are the biochemicals of emotion, their distribution in the body’s nerves has all kinds of significance, which Sigmund Freund, were he alive today, would gleefully point out as the molecular confirmation of his theories. The body is the unconscious mind! Repressed traumas causes by overwhelming emotion can be stored in a body part, thereafter affecting our ability to feel that part or even move it. The new work suggests there are almost infinite pathways for the conscious mind to access -and modify- the unconscious mind and the body, and also provides an explanation for a number of phenomena that the emotional theorists have been considering.
THE MIND IN THE BODY: FILTERING, STORING, LEARNING, REMEMBERING, REPRESSING
Because of the research I’ve been describing, we can no longer consider the emotional brain to be confined to the classical locations of the amygdala, hippocampus, ans hypothalamus. For example, we have discovered other anatomical locations where high concentrations of almost every neuropeptide receptor exist, locations such as the dorsal horn, or back side of the spinal cord, which is the firt synapse within the nervous system where all somatosensory information is proceed. (The term somatosensory refers to any bodily sensations of feelings, whether it is the touch of another’s hand on our skin or sensations arising from the movement of our own organs as they carry on our bodily process.) Not just opiate receptors but almost every peptide receptor we looked for could be found in thi spinal-cord site that filters all incoming bodily sensations. In fact, we have found that in virtually all locations where information from any of the five senses -sight, sound, taste, smell and touch- enters the nervous system, we will find a high concentration of neuropeptide receptors. We have termed these regions “nodal points” (or, colloquially, “hot spots”) to emphasize that they are places where a great deal of information converges. The information is carried by axons and dendrites from many nerve bodies that are passing near or making synaptic contact with each other.
The Tao Te Ching « The Book of the Immanence of the Way » de Lao-Tseu, A New English Version by Stephen Mitchell, HarperCollins e-books
Chapter 1: The tao that can be told
The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things.
Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness.
Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.
♫♫♫
Since emotions are molecules that regulate the body’s balance, they can sometimes block the body’s self-regenerating capacities.
As the mind can consciously use the brain to generate “emotion molecules” and override the system, meditation that acts on the mind will allow us to find inner peace which will neutralize the emotional molecules that blocked self-regenerating capacities.
Through meditation, the body’s self-regenerative abilities will be operational again, and they will be able to heal.
But since regulation occurs in both directions, it may be that the emotional blocks the realization of meditation.
♫♫♫
As Candace Pert points out, information from our five senses – sight, sound, taste, smell and touch – enters the nervous system, in areas with a high concentration of neuropeptide receptors.
This is why art therapy, olfactology, etc. are techniques that allow us to correct the mismatches that have occurred between the « conscious » function of the brain and the « emotional » function of the body, which until now have caused health problems.
This reinforces my idea that reading braille using the senses (touch, sight) and the brain for comprehension, can help free the receptors of emotional molecules linked to trauma, false beliefs that have been inscribed in the body’s unconscious.
Pourquoi est-ce que la contemplation des Mondes Imaginaires de l’Art Univers permet l’auto-guérison, si aucune mémoire, émotion, peur ne bloque le processus d’auto-régénération ?
Rien ne se perd, rien ne se crée, tout se transforme.
Pour répondre à cette question, je m’appuie sur 3 livres de références :
« Biologie des Croyances » de Bruce Lipton, p150
A mesure que les animaux plus complexes ont évolués, les cellules spécialisées ont pris la responsabilité de surveiller et d’organiser le flux des signaux moléculaires régulant leur comportement. Ces cellules se sont constitués en des réseaux de nerfs et un processeur central d’information, le cerveau. La fonction de ce dernier est de coordonner le dialogue des signaux moléculaires dans la communauté. En conséquence, chaque cellule d’une communauté doit obéir aux décisions éclairées de son autorité consciente, le cerveau, lequel contrôle le comportement des cellules du corps. C’est là un point dont il faut tenir compte lorsque nous accusons les cellules de notre corps des problèmes de santé qui nous affectent.
ÉMOTIONS : COMPRENDRE LE LANGAGE DES CELLULES
Chez les formes de vie supérieures plus conscientes, le cerveau s’est spécialisé pour permettre à toute la communauté de se syntoniser sur ses signaux régulateurs. Le système limbique s’est doté d’un mécanisme unique qui convertit les signaux communicationnels chimiques en sensations que toutes les cellules de la communauté sont aptes à ressentir. Notre conscient ne se limite pas à « lire » le flux de signaux de coordination cellulaire qui constituent la « conscience » corporelle. En réalité, il peut également générer des émotions sous la forme d’une émission de signaux régulateurs contrôlée par le système nerveux.
Au moment où j’étudiais les mécanismes du cerveau cellulaire et que je comprenais de plus en plus le fonctionnement du cerveau humain, Candace Pert étudiait le cerveau humain et comprenait de mieux en mieux les mécanismes du cerveau cellulaire. Dans Molecules of Emotion [Molécules d’émotions], Pert révèle comment, en étudiant les récepteurs d’information situés sur les membranes des cellules nerveuses, elle a découvert que ces récepteurs nerveux étaient présents dans la plupart, sinon la totalité, des cellules du corps. Par ces expériences, elle a établi que l’« esprit » n’est pas uniquement localisé dans la tête, mais réparti dans tout le corps, sous forme de signaux moléculaires. Son travail soulignait en outre que les émotions n’émanent pas seulement d’une réaction à l’information provenant de l’environnement physique. Le mental peut consciemment utiliser le cerveau pour générer des « molécules d’émotion » et outrepasser le système. Si la conscience, employée judicieusement, peut améliorer la santé du corps, le contrôle inconscient des émotions peut aisément nuire à la santé du corps, sujet approfondi dans les chapitres 6 et 7. Molecules of Emotion est un livre très inspirant qui décrit le processus de découvertes scientifiques. Il présente un aperçu des luttes auxquelles sont confrontés ceux qui tentent de soumettre le nouvelles « idées » à l’ordre scientifique établi, un sujet qui m’est très familier !
Molecules of emotion de Candace B. Pert, p141 Traduit en français par moi-même car le livre en français « Molécules d’émotion » n’existe pas.
Si l’on accepte l’idée que les peptides et autres substances informationnelles sont les substances biochimiques de l’émotion, leur distribution dans les nerfs du corps revêt une importance considérable, que Sigmund Freund, s’il était encore en vie, soulignerait avec joie comme la confirmation moléculaire de ses théories. Le corps est l’inconscient ! Les traumatismes refoulés causés par une émotion intense peuvent être stockés dans une partie du corps, affectant ainsi notre capacité à ressentir cette partie, voire à la bouger. Ces nouveaux travaux suggèrent qu’il existe une infinité de voies permettant à l’esprit conscient d’accéder à l’inconscient et au corps – et de les modifier – et fournissent également une explication à un certain nombre de phénomènes étudiés par les théoriciens de l’émotion.
L’ESPRIT DANS LE CORPS : FILTRER, STOCKER, APPRENDRE, SE SOUVENIR, RÉPRIMER
Grâce aux recherches que je viens de décrire, nous ne pouvons plus considérer le cerveau émotionnel comme confiné aux localisations classiques de l’amygdale, de l’hippocampe et de l’hypothalamus. Par exemple, nous avons découvert d’autres localisations anatomiques où se trouvent de fortes concentrations de presque tous les récepteurs de neuropeptides, comme la corne dorsale ou la face postérieure de la moelle épinière, première synapse du système nerveux où transite toute information somatosensorielle. (Le terme somatosensoriel désigne toute sensation corporelle, qu’il s’agisse du contact de la main d’autrui sur notre peau ou des sensations résultant du mouvement de nos propres organes dans le cadre de nos fonctions corporelles.) Non seulement les récepteurs aux opiacés, mais presque tous les récepteurs peptidiques que nous recherchions se trouvaient dans ce site de la moelle épinière qui filtre toutes les sensations corporelles. En fait, nous avons constaté que pratiquement partout où l’information provenant des cinq sens – vue, ouïe, goût, odorat et toucher – pénètre dans le système nerveux, se trouve une forte concentration de récepteurs de neuropeptides. Nous avons appelé ces régions « points nodaux » (ou, familièrement, « points chauds ») pour souligner qu’il s’agit de lieux où converge une grande quantité d’informations. L’information est véhiculée par les axones et les dendrites de nombreux corps nerveux qui se croisent ou établissent un contact synaptique.
Le Tao Te King « Le livre de la Voie et de la Vertu » de Lao-Tseu Traduit du chinois par Stanislas Julien, éditions mille et une nuits
Chapitre 1
La voie qui peut être exprimée par la parole n’est pas la Voie éternelle ; le nom qui peut être nommé n’est pas le Nom éternel.
(L’être) sans nom est l’origine du ciel et de la terre ; avec un nom, il est la mère de toutes choses.
C’est pourquoi, lorsqu’on est constamment exempt de passion, on voit son essence spirituelle, lorsqu’on a constamment des passions, on le voit sous une forme bornée.
Ces deux choses ont une même origine et reçoivent des noms différents. On les appelle toutes deux profondes. Elles sont profondes, doublement profondes. C’est la porte de toutes les choses spirituelles.

Les émotions étant des molécules de régulation de l’équilibre du corps, il peut arriver qu’elles bloquent les capacités auto-régénérantes du corps.
Comme le mental peut consciemment utiliser le cerveau pour générer des « molécules d’émotion » et outrepasser le système, la méditation qui agit sur le mental, va nous permettre de retrouver la paix intérieure qui va neutraliser les molécules émotionnelles qui bloquaient les capacités auto-régénérantes.
Grâce à la méditation, les capacités d’auto-régénération du corps seront à nouveau opérationnelles, et vont pouvoir le guérir.
Mais comme la régulation se réalise dans les deux sens, il se peut que l’émotionnel bloque la réalisation de la méditation.
♫♫♫
Comme le souligne Candace Pert, l’information provenant de nos 5 sens – vue, ouïe, goût, odorat et toucher – pénètre dans le système nerveux, dans des zones à forte concentration de récepteurs de neuropeptides.
C’est pourquoi, l’art thérapie, l’olfactologie,… sont des techniques qui permettent de corriger les mauvais appariements survenus entre la fonction « consciente » du cerveau et la fonction « émotionnelle » du corps, qui jusque là provoquent des problèmes de santé.
Cela renforce mon idée que la lecture braille utilisant les sens (toucher, vue) et le cerveau pour la compréhension, peut aider à libérer les récepteurs des molécules émotionnelles liées à des traumatismes, des fausses croyances qui se sont inscrites dans l’inconscient du corps.
Every time I see the notion of the expansion of the Universe appear, my cells react and awaken in me a feeling that it is false, « No, the Universe is not expanding. »
Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.
Here are 3 book excerpts to shed light on my thoughts:
« The Biology of Belief » by Bruce Lipton, p103
Humans and a number of other higher mammals have evolved a specialized region of the brain associated with thinking, planning, and decision-making called the prefrontal cortex. This portion of the forebrain is apparently the seat of the “self-conscious” mind processing. The self-conscious mind is self-reflective; it is a newly evolved “sense organ” that observes our own behaviors and emotions. The self-conscious mind also has access to most of the data stored in our long-term memory bank. This is an extremely important feature allowing our history of life to be considered as we consciously plan our futures.
Endowed with the ability to be self-reflective, the self-conscious mind is extremely powerful. It can observe any programmed behavior we are engaged in, evaluate the behavior, and consciously decide to change the program. We can actively choose how to respond to most environmental signals and whether we even want to respond at all. The conscious mind’s capacity to override the subconscious mind’s preprogrammed behaviors is the foundation of free will.
However, our special gift comes with a special pitfall. While almost all organisms have to actually experience the stimuli of life first-hand, the human brain’s ability to “learn” perceptions is so advanced that we can actually acquire perceptions indirectly from teachers. Once we accept the perceptions of others as “truths,” their perceptions become hardwired into our own brains, becoming our “truths.” Here’s where the problem arises: what if our teachers’ perceptions are inaccurate? In such cases, our brains are then downloaded with misperceptions. The subconscious mind is strictly a stimulus-response playback device; there is no “ghost” in that part of the “machine” to ponder the long-term consequences of the programs we engage. The subconscious works only in the “now.” Consequently, programmed misperceptions in our subconscious mind are not “monitored” and will habitually engage us in inappropriate and limiting behaviors.
Molecules of emotion by Candace B. Pert, p135
DO EMOTIONS ORIGINATE IN THE HEAD OR THE BODY
Until 1984 I had assumed that Wilder Penfield’s famous human experiments had proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that emotions originate in the brain. But that year, I went to give a lecture et the Second International Meeting of the Society for the Study of Emotion, which was held at Havard, and there I met Eugene Taylor, the scientific historian in the psychology department. He was excited about the lecture I had just delivered, in which I presented the theory of peptides and other ligands as the biochemicals of emotion. Eugene wanted to know where I stood on the famous James-Cannon debate, which, he reminded me, was about the ultimate sources of emotions. Do they originate in the body and then get perceived in the head, where we invent a story to explain them, as William James said? Or do they originate in the head and trickle down to the body, as Walter Cannon posited?
In 1884, while an assistant professor of philosophy at Havard, William James had published his essay “What Is an Emotion?” basing his theory on his own introspective observation and a general knowledge of physiology. He said he had concluded that the source of emotion is purely visceral, that is, originating in the body and not cognitive, originating in the mind, and that there is probably no brain center for emotional expression. We perceive events and have bodily feelings, and then after the perception, which joggles our memories and imagination, we label our physical sensations as one or another emotion. However, he believed that there was in fact no such entity as emotion. There is simply perception and bodily response. The immediate sensory and motor reverberations that occur in response to the perception -the pounding heart, the tight stomach, the tensed muscles, the sweaty palms- are the emotions. And the emotions are felt throughout the body as sensations, “each morsel of which contributes its pulsation of feeling, dim or sharp, pleasant or painful or dubious, to that sense of personality that every one of us unfailingly carries with him.” Emotions consist of organic changes in the body, muscular and visceral, and are not a primary feeling directly aroused, but a secondary one, indirectly aroused by the body’s workings.
Like many appealing armchair theories, James’s seemed to collapse under the weight of real data, in this case, animal laboratory word performed by his student Walter Cannon, the experimental physiologist and author of Wisdom of the body, who, by 1927 had explained the workings of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system. A single nerve called the vagus (“wandering”) nerve exits the back of the brain through a hole in the bottom of the skull (the foramen magnum) then splits to rum down the bundles of nerves cells, or ganglia, along either side of the spinal cord to send branches to many organs, including thz pupils of the eye, the salivary glands, the heart, the bronchi of the lungs, the stomach, the intestines, the bladder, the sex organs, and the adrenal glands (from which the hormone adrenaline is released). When Cannon stimulated the vagus through electrodes implants in the hypothalamus in the bottom of the brain just above the pituitary gland, he demonstrated physiological changes in all these organs consistent with what would be needed by the body in an emergency situation when resources had to be quickly, efficiently, and automatically managed without any time-wasting through. As the result of this hypothalamic stimulation, for example, blood from the internal organs of digestion was quickly rerouted to the muscles for “fight or flight” -digestion could wait until the emergency was over- and an increased output of adrenaline stimulated the heart and caused the liver to release extra supplies of sugar for instant energy.
From Cannon’s point of view, Jame’s theory of visceral emotion was all wet. Cannon could accurately measure how much time it took from the moment the hypothalamus got an electrical jolt to the moment the bodily changes in blood flow, digestion, and heartbeat began to occur as a result. And his conclusion was that these changes were just too slow to be the cause of emotions rather than the effect. Also, artificial induction of visceral changes that were typical of strong emotions, such as the use of electrical current to produce a strong intestinal contraction like that which occurs in the first moment of panic, failed to produce the other signs of that emotion. Not only that, Cannon pointed out that animals whose vagal nerve had been cut, and presumably were incapable of sympathetic visceral bodily changes, still seemed to behave just as emotionally when placed in a threatening situation. According to Cannon, the hypothalamus of the brain was the seat of the emotions, which trickled down to the body through the hypothalamus’s neuronal connections to the back of the brain, or brainstem, or through the secretions of the pituitary gland.
While Eugene Taylor waited expectantly for my late-twentieth-century spin on the somewhat arcane James-Cannon debate, I suddenly had a big aha!: “Why, it’s both! It’s not either/or; in fact, it’s both and neither! It’s simultaneous -a two-way street,” I blurted out. I had just realized that the resolution of a debate whose origins went back over a century held the key t understanding a very modern conundrum: How can emotions transform the body, either creating disease or healing it, maintaining health or undermining it?

I think that emotions, our bodily sensations, make us interact with each other, allow us to sit calmly in meditation or make us agitate in all directions. Resist or let go. Making an unmanifested space visible, creating from a manifested fixed point, an impression of expansion.
Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.

Today, we have specialized everything to understand the details of things, but have we not lost sight of the overall plan of Life?
We all agree that We, human beings, are Alive and Conscious.
And if the Universe was Alive and Conscious too!
Isn’t it time to bring together Quantum Physics, Biology, Philosophy… in order to find the place of each thing in the great Universal whole of Life?
Isn’t it time to consider the Cosmos as a Living and Conscious Universe?

We are the Cosmic Universe entangled in the Universe.
We are born as children, then adolescents, then adults. Our bodies grow. We are born, live, and die. Our earthly life is limited within a given space-time.
The Universe was born; it is the space that allowed atoms, planets… and us to appear. Its space is limited in time.
There is no expansion possible outside of the DAO.
If we put ourselves in the shoes of our ancestors who did not know that the Earth was round and vast, the more they advanced, the more they discovered, but the Earth was not expanding.
Water spreading across the ground obeys the laws of gravity; it moves and takes up more space, but it is not expanding. There is no more water on the ground than in the bowl that contained it.
I think it’s the same for the Universe. The more we increase our consciousness, and the precision of our calculations, the further we see, but the Universe is not expanding. I would say it’s like the Earth, water in a bowl, which have a finite space-volume in motion; the Universe also has a finite space in motion, the DAO. This is the best word I can find to describe it. The DAO is not accessible to our human perception, to our manifested consciousness, perhaps that’s why the brain « chooses » the word expansion which sounds false to me.
Unlike our ancestors, our brains have developed enormously since the Age of Enlightenment, allowing us to develop models and theories before experimentation. Whereas they experimented with things and then deduced models.
For me, the universe is not expanding; models show us that there is something beyond what our consciousness can conceive.
Bruce Lipton, in his book « The Biology of Belief », tells us that we have developed such a powerful brain that by analyzing situations, it can deduce truths that may be « false », but to which it clings and which blocks opportunities because « programmed misperceptions in our subconscious mind are not “monitored” ».
Candace Pert shows that our emotions are a bridge between our body and our brain, our mind. They could allow us to overcome false signals and stay on course for a harmonious life.

Life is not an unlimited expansion for material experiences/creations; rather, it is a perpetual movement to achieve ultimate harmony. I don’t think that developing our brains or AI will solve the existential problems facing humanity.
It would be wise to stop for a moment, to make an interconnection of all our specializations, our emotions, to find the plan of Life on Earth and choose the right Way.
