On the "Nervous System" Pt 1 - Beliefs, Maps & Opposites
What it Really is & "Homunculus Induction" for Members
Hello, this weeks newsletter recording below,
I’m doing a deep dive nervous system, 2 part preso.
This first part is on the often not acknowledged but perhaps most powerful regulator of the nervous system in feral sheeple - beliefs and maps. Yes. Beliefs and maps shape many things, including reactions, decisions, and ability to handle charge and arousal. They are represented in the body and it’s tissues.
However, sorry to tell you, beliefs are not real. And maps…well, they’re just maps.
Beliefs…sorry to say…are merely thoughts. Thoughts lacking any evidence. Be that empirical personal evidence and data. Or otherwise. We nevertheless insist on, and act, as if they’re real.
Many of these simian models, a false and silly grounding from which we make monkey chirps at other “barely” hominids, are often incomplete and noisy without us being aware. Was it Lorenze that said man was somewhere between animal and human being?
Worse, they often lack enough or enough crucial information. Completeness. Again, it’s the complete lack of awareness of incompleteness, or limitation. And again, so many will say “but we all know this”. I can tell you now, for sure - no one acts like it. No one.
What’s also true - these adaptions are powerful regulators in the causal chain of formative, primordial “arousal circuits” and how this potentially powerful energy is expressed in the tissues, organs and general physiology. In a dynamic and processual way, not in the way it’s commonly portrayed online - as if you’re an electrical circuit with a charge in it, and you have a negative and positive polarity - i.e. the rigidified tokenisation of the so-called “parasympathetic and sympathetic branches”. Just use supplements or change muh diet, right.
I decided to do this because it’s a subject that’s not well understood, and people don’t have good or complete views of the whole artifice - yet go around authoritatively announcing their expertise and various beloved absolutisms (beliefs) and products based on their wrongful and often, somehow, level moral accusations against various practices or outlooks, that don’t meld with their low resolution map - this often spilling over into a moralistic belief system.
Morally tainted views associated with which practice they think is good or bad, based on their incomplete, static, midwit understanding of complex systems. What could be simply a map, turns into a rigidified belief system. And ironically, this is a reflection of the very thing they claim to intimately understand.
Yes - somehow they’ve managed to moralise, or get all “good and bad” on it. Insane when you think about it.
It’s a good idea to have a more complete view then, because better strategies can be devised on a dynamic understanding.
Next week will be a more autistic scientific breakdown of evolutionary history, what arousal systems and information theory tell us about the nervous system - and how we are motivated to act physiologically.
Finally, how you should feel. If your greater physiological self - including the “belief system matrix” - are operating synchronously.
There is a tangible state to shoot for, indeed.
One thing’s for sure - no “one supplement to rule them all”, Ray Peat post, dumb dumb esoteric take, carrots, neurotically focusing on the peristalsis of the intestines as an “all in one fixit”, trying not to furiously masturbate every 5 minutes, Chinese tarots card reading, reading and talking in general, or thew worst excess of them all - esoteric spirituality - yes thats right I said it - none of this can get to the core of it. Not even close.
Even the “just breathe bros” who are now selling even this as a “one simple trick” (wait…I do that, don’t I) - sorry to say, even this is NOT going to work on the deepest levels.
These are all silly bandaids if core work is not done. the core work takes years and is fraught with danger. The work on governing beliefs, and resolving all the reactivities and various other wastes of space. Most humans are simply not capable of it. This is because they fundamentally believe that their beliefs ar real, i spite of all evidence to the contrary.
Only special types can discard and properly assess beliefs and maps, and throw them off when they’re no longer useful, or a better one comes along.
Lets get into it.

Yeah. Hello. How have you all been? , did you enjoy that little song? Many people live . live in that way. So for the paid subscribers, you will find below this in the protected section, the protected spec, uh, section for the protected species. You'll see a nice new hypnosis induction that I've been working on. There isn't me, that isn't me, but the sound quality is not good
in the original recording. But I've done a bunch of cleaning up some of the AI tools. Didn't really work on it, unfortunately, because the, I suppose the file didn't have enough data, but I've managed to clean it up a bit. ,
I've used it once or twice, and it's extremely powerful. It's excellent, and I'm happy to have been able to raise it from the depths of history, of lost history, and I'll think you'll like it. It's not for distribution. So if you do use it, I just want feedback on what you think of the file and anything you think, like if you wanted music changed or something like that, if you could offer me some feedback, that would be good. So in general, just some updates.
There's been a lot of work lately. I've been going a bit hard in the, in the psycho physical, uh, work. And I probably need to tone it down a bit. I don't want to though. Luckily, I work remotely so I can fucking flip out and have all sorts of things. Interesting things happen to me, and it's not gonna matter. I'm not gonna get committed probably. Uh, but, you know, it is true that at least when you start this kind of work, and I've already run through this a few times, right? If you've started it, you shouldn't go too hard. You should maybe only do, I mean, Kevin and I were discussing this, but maybe in
two hours or three hours a week. And that's probably important, particularly if you have commitments outside a lot in that respect. I hope you enjoyed the throat unblocking compilation I've put together. I've had some positive feedback from some people, and it, it's changed the game for me a bit. I use it every day all the time. Similar to using the various face exercises. I think it's excellent to break up, uh, you know, tensions. The, the throat tends to be an area that people in this civilization have a lot of trouble with, uh, particularly these days. And, and just think of it, think about the value I provide here. I don't think people fully comprehend it. I was thinking about it the other day. I think it's because people generally don't practice. They don't do anything. So maybe they just don't even get it because it just reading a bit of stuff change to the politics, blogs, whatever it is. So, yeah, I just don't get it. I don't understand why you spend all your money on something stupid, like political analysis when you have, you know, stuff that Kevin does, stuff that I do, it's all here. It's really cheap too, to be honest. I should probably fucking jack up the price. Have you seen moon bra? , moon bra came, uh, under attack lately, which I don't get. I like him. Uh, don't get me wrong. . probably wouldn't hang out with me unless you are listening to this moon bra. I, I'd be more than happy to teach you many of the things here. Uh, for a price, actually, you, you can buy us an MRI, uh, machine that, that we need an MRI machine, so maybe you, you can purchase that for us. But Moon Bra, co cops, a lot of flack because people are like, oh, it's transhumanism, it's tra, it's transhumanism, you know, as if them reading that on a computer is in a form of, you know, extended nervous system or transhumanism or whatever you wanna call it. If you think about it, the whole human project is about transhumanism. Everything everyone's done has been trying to trans the human. So it's really disappointing to see, because everyone always criticizes him on moral grounds. It's always like, that's immoral. It's immoral to do that. He's just trying to escape death. That's immoral to one.
No, it's not.
Nothing to do with morality. And this is gonna tie into something I wanna talk about just in general, which today is the nervous system. Our beliefs are intimately tied up with how the nervous system works. But I like moon bra and I hope he keeps going. He keeps pushing the limits, and I'll be keenly watching what he does. I think a lot of what he does is delusional. It's very like gadgets and all this kind of stuff. I think that he's wasting his time a little bit, but at least , he's trying to push it, and he is using his money for something interesting, which is more that, you know, that can be said for every other billionaire idiot out there who just wastes their money on nonsense. Fuck. So there's been a bit of discussion recently regarding psychoanalysis, and initially I was going to do a big take on Freud and stuff, and I actually did, I'd written the article and I think it's pretty good. , it was written along with my engagement in this deep work lately, deep depth. But funnily enough, I have actually no real desire to even put it out there. And I actually no longer care if people just revel in ignorance,
uh, which to be honest, I think is what they want to do anyway. So there's actually not a whole lot of point in me even putting it out.
Of course, Freud and psychoanalysis is completely misunderstood. No one gets it. All of the takes I've seen are terrible, just completely insufficient. And increasingly because of the work, I just don't actually care about discourse. It's just, it's tiring. I don't know
how everyone does it, particularly because we have a bio individual group now where people are all practicing and the , a constructive hatred of the human condition. And because of that, it drives actual work and practice. So yeah, why bother with words and speaking and blabbering and gas bagging, uh, particularly when words and speaking are as inconsequential as, uh, all the reactive discourse you see online as it is completely, almost, completely inconsequential. And it's not even necessarily because the ideas inconsequential, it's because of the physiology
and the way that the ideas are consumed that makes them inconsequential. This is, again, something people can't understand for some reason. So without going into depth, psychoanalysis has also been faulted online. Generally what I've noticed or classified under this umbrella of this is a criticism I always hear. So I, it tends to come from people who are the new warrior cast, you know, those sorts of guys. And they think that because I hate liberal, uh, authors
or liberal females, which is understandable that there's no depth to me because a liberal female has the depth, but I don't have depth because I'm the opposite. And anyone besides the either or thinking, which is just the scourge of humanity. But besides that, anyone with a little bit of knowledge, anyone who's done a little bit of meditation or anyone who's plumbed the depths of the kind of stuff that we do here, knows that this is a real stupidity. And I've been editing this old seminar of, uh, Dr. Hyatt, and he clearly demonstrates depth in everyone, multiple levels of the human physiology and brain operating simultaneously,
, you can pull 'em out, , you can expose them. But these things don't necessarily
operate synchronous synchronously in people, right? Usually not. And when these bits are pulled out, you can see how this confuses the so-called conscious mind, or what I prefer, uh, to call it the calibration awareness. People do not operate their levels do not operate synchronously in most human beings today. So, uh, you know, I'm sorry to tell you,
but there is depth.
And again, maybe you hate this idea because ma ma, liberal
females and trauma,
I think that, you know, okay, there is some validity to that because what the liberal
white female talks about is not depth. That's true. But it's also true that just because you're in opposition to something that you don't need to be reflexively embracing just the opposite as a default
in terms of depth. And there being, quote unquote an unconscious, which is a term that I don't like. I think it's an antiquated term that's been too mixed up with other stuff. So it doesn't really make sense anymore. But I will say this, and that is that many of the psychoanalysis al analysts, including Freud,
they were right. And you, many of you who hold these views, you are wrong. And it's surprisingly easily provable. It's actually easily provable. You can do it in five to 10 minutes. In most people. Part of the issue is, first of all, it's actually resulting from a criticism that many people on the right wing accuse the left wing of. And that's an incomplete view of the totality of the self, which is always something that is a level at the left. But it's all also the, the issue here is that the greatest self, which is made up of many separate but interdependent processes or dynamic processes, that these things operate in some way on different levels. They
have their own thing and they're kind of functionally separate, but they are all interrelated and interdependent, right? . not able to be seen easily, it means that these things are not necessarily aligned in many ways. The silliness that we see around us does actually kind of come from the misalignment or the non resonant or non-coherent alignment of all these processes that are operating somewhat independently, actually somewhat independently. So you could have different parts of the brain that are wanting to do different things as represented in the body, in the physiology, okay? And that the different levels can want different things at once. And that what we refer to as ourselves, which is the justifying part of the brain, the symbol using part of the brain or the interpreter, the part of the brain that's interpreting things can get even more confused. So all these things, you could have the, the reptilian and I, I use these terms metaphorically. I'm not saying there's actually this, although there kind of is the reptilian part of the brain might be trying to do one thing. The higher, uh, mammal parts, the monkey parts, the higher ape parts could be misaligned in trying to do their own thing compared to the reptile part. And then you have the, so-called human part, maybe represented in some way by the cerebral cortexes or the neocortex, and it could be trying to do something else as well. So when you talk about depth, this is what depth really means. Now, there are beliefs and ideas that are associated with these levels, depending on the functionality of a different level of the brain, but for sure, whatever you think, your brain is not really one thing in some sense, in the way that it exerts itself in time and space and the environment. It's not one thing. And there are levels because you, you, your consciousness, you are not necessarily seeing what's going on your character. Again, this is part of the problem with all this psychoanalytic terminology is because it, you really need to know the person to really understand how it fits into the cosmology, I suppose. But the character, say an iraqian sense, the character referring to the totality of the behavior of someone, which to someone observing that individual is perhaps somewhat obvious, but to the individual themselves, they can't see any of it. We can't see ourselves very well. So the psychoanalytic project recognized this now for sure,
some of them were Jews, okay? And some of them came from the shtetl, which is a word I never knew about. And in the confrontation with civilization, maybe these things became more obvious. But this isn't to say then that everyone in the world that wasn't them gets a free pass. And that these things aren't
debilitating and detrimental. This is an important point. So in summary, it wasn't just the psychoanalyst that recognize this. I mean, Buddhists have, Hindus have Vedic, you know, Vedic culture, various people in the west over time. Some of the ancient cultures like the Greeks and various other people did recognize this to varying degrees. Of course, they didn't have the scientific understanding to particularly explain it very well, but they did develop their own ways of dealing with it. There is depth. And when these processes that are misaligned increasingly because of the pollution of civilization, that gets passed down generation to generation, not just dysgenics by the way, but mental programming, belief pollution, this, this, uh, seems to over time
snowball over the generations. And this does have an impact on the physiology of the individual. It has an impact over the choices and selections of human beings over time. And it leads to all manner of neuroticism and silliness that we're exposed to today. So when the warrior core, which I'm gonna call those kinds of accounts, the kinds of accounts that I'm gonna describe now, the warrior core accounts, of course, very few of them seem to go , , a golden age of war and non depth. There, there is a problem with this because you can't apply this to what we are. So the first problem is that we're not primordial men. Uh, we don't have any opportunity to be primordial men.
We all are just really subsets of delusional
moderns
trying to be something that we're not in a world that is in no way the same as what it was. There is no getting around this. There is no similar immediacy or purpose like they had in our lives. They're not similar at all.
And I mean this in all physiological levels. There was no immediacy of purpose. We don't have that. There is no force, strong external force that would force an alignment.
There is no purity of belief system because our beliefs have been continuous for a long time. And a lot of the silliness has been passed on uninterrupted for several millennia at this point. So we've been almost irreversibly acculturated for thousands of years in a completely different way to what the primordial man was experiencing or how he was acculturated. And even in the last a hundred years, powerful, really powerful neurological programming runs in the background of all of us. And maybe since the sixties in particular, when a lot of this research started to come out, maybe after World War ii,
you could say maybe there were groups with nefarious purposes that started to understand a lot of this and have been pushing these programs deeper and deeper into the human beings that populate this monkey infested mud ball that floats through space. And one of the problems, of course, is that you can't just go back to primordial man by reading books or speaking or dialogue. And it can't work for the reasons I've described in this, uh, little rant so far. That's not gonna work. 'cause it can't, because that part of the brain cannot impact the other parts efficiently or effectively. Anyway. So the immediacy of purpose that the primordial man had, it means that he didn't have any time on his hands to really worry about what he actually was. There was no belief system or whatever that forced him into that position. And therefore the levels of his being were fairly obvious and at least in some cultures of that time, aligned in their purpose. So my theory is that in primordial man, by necessity, the depth, the depth is that word. Again, the depth. Don't say depth. It's liberal females. The depth was aligned. The second part, I think that's fairly obvious to us all is primordial man's body and physiology was apparently completely different. You can see this in their art and their sculpture. I mean, depending on the period you're looking at, they're almost completely alien looking, right? Just everything was different. And on top of that, the, the way that their lifestyle was, they had vast amounts of rest, uh, probably compared to us. Their all traian rhythms, all traian, not circadian, were just in lockstep with the great waves of existence. So when people say that this or that race of ancient times was vigorous or vital, or
I think the reason why is fairly obvious, life allowed much more slowness and recovery. And in turn, as we'll see, the reasons for this below scientific reasons,
this perhaps led to a more vigorous explosion of activity and are now information rich, obligation rich, our
sensation rich, our stimulation rich world. We don't have this, we're more like an end times empire of the past. I think where you see some of the same physiological dynamics I'm describing here, not as, not as hardcore as what we have, where life complexified to a point, all the mental pollution builds up probably the eugenic elements as well. But that's not what I talk about here at this substack. And yeah, you just get collapse and dissolution as a result because the, the vigor has has been lost. The, the, the style of life that leads to the vigor is lost. And finally, we know things they di they don't know, they didn't know, sorry, speaking for myself, the more I know
about the physiology and brain from a scientific perspective, actually the less these so-called golden ages of man are convincing to me. So what I see is an animal with relatively new evolutionary adaptions, the more significant ones are only about,
you know, so many millions of years old. And that these adaptions are a hodgepodge
kind of amalgamation, a kind of ice cream scoop set up like evolution's, like, yeah, we'll just throw this on top and then whatever, that's enough. I'm not gonna spend too much energy making it better. It works enough for the monkeys to pump out some fucking units and to continue doing that. And many of these adaptions really just don't work very well. Some functions are redundant, they're designed in silly ways, and much of the silliness, of course, of, of what some cultures hold most dear interestingly. So what many of these culture and the interesting case studies, I'm not saying they're not, because there was obviously something that they had done right? There was something about the way that they interacted in the time and space and their bodies were, et cetera. But we also know about things that they don't know about. And in that respect, I become increasingly skeptical that there was any significant period of time where humans measured up in any great numbers to the greatness that some people ascribe to them. And I don't think this is a reflection of my own spiteful, resentful character. And I've thought about it in light of what I know about the physiology. I'm not coming from a point of view of like, oh, we're all progressing in, humans are better. So what I'm trying to say, I'm not being resentful here, but we have a chance that no other group in history has had . we can see what's going on and we can see what causes are leading to what effects in the brain and the physiology, then the actual emergence of something terrible. 'cause I know many of you, like Nietzche, for example, has more chance of occurring. So if you think about it, if say by some manipulation of the brain and how it works, we ended up getting rid of a lot of these vestigial silly wiring patterns and increased the connections between different parts of the brain. Just take that as an example. Think about the outcome of this. Another example could be the ease of which high energy states and memory patterns get stuck in the musculature. And the more primitive parts of the brain and how we experience recurrent memories that really serve no purpose at all. They're just a kind of pollution that just floats around in the brain. There's no, there's no real purpose to it. Not from a evolutionary or an adaptive point of view, it's just something that's there. And it's there because the, the brain doesn't particularly work very well in many cases. So if, if we were able to get rid of this with some kind of genetic surgery combined with a kind of specific training of children or something like this, the outcome , ? In the nietzche way, it would probably appear terrible to us. 'cause we're very sentimental about many of these shortcomings. Many of the things we all hold dear myself included, right? These, these are really rather silly and they're not really necessary. They're just kind of forms of, you know, brain pollution is one way of thinking about it. And thinking deeper on Nietzsche and this that I'm talking about here, just as one example, many of the men, the men's, I guess it is men's, many of the men's he outlines as as case studies. So we could take Caesar or you know, whoever else he talks about in many ways, thinking through this frame, these individuals lack many of the all too human things. So in some very real tangible way, they exist of as kind of prototypes of what man could be in the way that I'm describing here. Because they lack the debilitating outcomes of these vesti functions of the brain and the pollution that hold us back. These guys are prototypes that maybe just by happenstance or chance lacked many of these problems and therefore were able to exercise the full potential of their biological being. So with what we know about the human brain and nervous system, in my opinion, all of a sudden this becomes possible, it becomes possible to move beyond chance and happenstance. Maybe
So this is a real problem. And people often put this down to silly ideas like, oh, it's just, just
genetics. It's just not enough. Like, but this is a universal issue that we all suffer from. And cells are often the worst examples of this. We saw this during covid is just like one, one example. So how, how can you say that it just, IQ is a problem. So it's an issue . We don't recognize what's a map and what's real because ridiculous and absurd outcomes cascade and snowball from this fundamental issue. It's almost always self-defeating. And it's almost always def uh, collectively defeating. And it's true to say as human beings, it's very easily to become so enamored by the copies of the maps that we live in, which are regulating mechanisms in the totality of the nervous system. Because
almost all of them are not even our maps, they're copies. We live in copies of maps rather than in reality. So do you think maybe
that the way our neurology works is to inflate these internal representations to produce more chemicals, dopamine, uh,
dopaminergic pathways, adrenaline in particular these days? Do you think that that these maps might be a mechanism behind these functions rather than it's just the chemicals acting on the organism that actually the neural architecture, the way that our maps function, the way that we function because of the maps are in fact the things that drive all the downstream processes. And that by living according to a copy of a map, that we are then quite literally being lived. We're not living on our own terms. Our physiology is being shaped by something that is not devised by us in our best interests. As this system of shaping arousal, shall we say compounds, then the internal representation becomes more real than reality. And this is how beliefs work. When we talk about beliefs, a belief is just something that I don't really have any evidence for. It's just something I think there's no reality to back it up. So beliefs for this reason are a convenient coping strategy, and they tend to cover up all the nasty depth more often than not.
It's true to say that people use beliefs to hide behind, they use 'em as a kind of mask. And that part of this work is that many beliefs, all of the beliefs that we hold need to be sternly challenged. And I don't mean just in an intellectual way, but what a psychoanalyst would do would, a good one would be to really tear apart your beliefs and to expose you and the reasons that you hold them. Which isn't to say that there's necessarily anything wrong with having a belief, but the true essence of self-knowledge is understanding what is driving that belief. What is driving your desire to have a belief? Because as I was saying, just inheriting a map or a belief is that's not self-definition. And that has a, these days a deadening effect on the physiology for the most part. It's also true to say that the proponents of one element of belief, they tend to vilify, you know, the other aspect and that basically this is a false division, it's not really real. And in the physiology and the brain of an individual, this leads to a kind of imbalance, like a way of missing the big picture, missing unity. That the opposing aspects, the what what we always engage in as opposing aspects, they only really exist in language and symbology and concept. And that in reality, no one thing can be separated from the whole of everything. That's absolutely the case. That's true scientifically if you think about it. But it's also true as a matter of experience and perception. And, you know, the Buddhists train for years to be able to see that. It's also the case that when beliefs change, w which you can do, the tone of the nervous system also changes the arousal networks that are precursors to how the nervous system and muscles and that energy is discharged, how that arousal is discharged themselves. So, so the way that that is expressed changes,
yeah, and this is what I would like to talk about today in, in the latest section, which is coming up. I know I've ranted a little bit, but this, this is important, this first bit because when I go into the more autistic details, then you, you'll be able to relate it back to what was spoken about here. Most treatment you see online is all about food and supplements and exercise and even just breath work. So these things are all important, there's no doubt about it, right? But there, there's something deeper and more powerful. to comprehend. That none of these things can really impact on any significant level. And I've, I've written about these things for years, I've tried to point this out to people that all of these things are more or less pointless if the architecture, so the neural architecture and the physiological architecture are not working properly, they can't impact that on a deep level. All these things are pointless if they're stuck motor sensory energies. And, you know, to see people applying levels of like spiritual insight to fucking
food or, you know, supplements from ideal labs or fucking goats milk or whatever, it's just absurd. It's absurd. Now, it these, it's not to say these things can't provide relief, but it's not changing anything fundamental. The unpleasant fact is that you could survive on a few bowls of rice and beans a day with no supplements, , , , , , ? I'm gonna say that again, the hierarchy of interdependent processes that work independently but are dependent on one another, but have functionally separate processual aims that are connected to the, from, uh, the brain into the body and the tissues and the organs. That if all these systems which are aroused by arousal, aroused by arousal,
could all dynamically charge and discharge as they need to in time and space in a dynamic way. You know, that's got nothing to do with weightlifting. DHA, you know, milk. At the end of the day, this is a more subtle, it's a more primordial thing to notice. And these surface things, you know, it's like pissing, , . pissing in the wind. There's another important point to consider when considering the nervous system. And it's not just that human models are retarded and fake and dumb and self-defeating, and it's what I mean by that. It's not just that human models almost always contain distorted and inaccurate information about the world around, you know, the scum bot that possesses them. It's actually more so that the models and maps don't contain enough information about the environment. They don't contain enough accurate information about the environment. And this has been scientifically looked at and spoken about over and over again to be an enormous stressor. In fact, it's better to have a misguided and dumb model than it is to have not enough information. Many, uh, ethologists have examined, uh, higher apes and they agree that not enough information is enormously stressful for animals, but also us, right? One thing I would do if I was a tyrant in charge of all the peasants is I would keep them constantly overwhelmed and unsure. That's what I would do if, if I was a tyrant. And that really makes you think about the world these days, doesn't it? So when we do things like meditation, for example, in my opinion, one of the reasons people tend to become happier and calmer over time is that they've increased their capacity for attention to such a degree that they're able to acknowledge and temper their reactions to these huge volumes of information and complexity that are around today that were not around in ancient times, but are here now. But it wasn't only this. More importantly, they can see their own neural and behavioral patterns and architecture and how they contribute to what can be a debilitating human reactive system in the world in which we live. They can see how their beliefs are structured. They can see that their beliefs are effectively not as objective or not as true as what they think they, they are. But also that the increase of scope of attention in some way makes up for our models not containing enough information. And this has profound impacts on the nerve, you know, nervous system and its ability to handle arousal and to discharge arousal. This is very important. So while knowledge may be distorted and incomplete in a meditator, their vision of everything, of the totality of their attention and awareness and their ability to distance themselves from what's going on is enough to account for all the phenomena
that are occurring and allows them to be more selective in their reactivity to things. So all, all the inaccuracies, all the distortions, the lack of information about something and the, the emotions and the hyperreactivity that comes up from that scenario, right? Just look at people coping online for an example of this. These things don't bite as hard as a result. And this has massive impacts on the reality of how motor sensory arousal is managed in the human body and is discharged. How these energies are discharged in the human body. So meditation is vital, sorry to say in each bro, I'm sorry to say, but you are wrong on this one. And make no mistake, these things absolutely bite. They create all sorts of hyper arousal symptoms if you are not all over them and you can't control 'em. And in this increasingly complex world, increasingly uncertain world, this is a losing strategy, I'm afraid. It really is. Okay, I am going to get a drink of water, of course this is my free will. I free-willed, the desire for water, I free-willed thirst. It didn't just pop up into my mind, I created it. It was me.
I did it all. So thanks Augustine, for this wonderful power. And I'll be back in just a second to finish all this off.
So to finish off this part one, because part two we're gonna go into how the arousal system works. I'm gonna release that next week. Not gonna keep you for too long because I know that we, part of our retarded modern arousal system is that we get distracted easily. Now, . , ? You gotta keep it short. Maybe insult some people. That's what it's all about. Say that moon bras a degenerate transhuman, it's a transhumanist. His soul is immortal. Soul won't have sent to heaven. So in, in human animals, right? This is again maybe tied up with the moon brow thing. It's come to the point where the adherence to beliefs which are not objective in the way that we think they are, this ends up being more important than the results of the belief or map or model. Call it, whatever you want to call it. Doesn't really matter. One example of this is that conservatives online, they always lose. So they're constantly talking about how, uh, the left wing are outta line with reality and how the left all think they're fucking girls when they're really boys or whatever, but the left are winning, they're winning in reality, they're winning. So you'd have to say that whatever the right wing is thinking or doing, that seems to be able to wind with reality, right? So the left are getting results, but the, the conservatives are not getting results. So it seems that whatever the left are doing that there's certainly more Machiavellian in their understanding. Perhaps, perhaps they're closer to reality, the reality of what makes people tick, and thus
that's the reason they're getting results. So maybe their beliefs are more connected to reality in a very important way than what you think. So while the right is sitting around, you know, yammering on about baby Jesus and moving to the country and having fucking 400 kids, but not enjoying sex either you have 400 kids, but don't enjoy it, don't like sex, sex is degenerate. Uh, you know, the finger wagging moral condemnation of these people, uh, I'm the real warrior or whatever. I'm going back to the warrior times, the Viking times, whatever it is, whatever, you know, other monkey or
obsessions these people have in the moment. The question remains from these beliefs. Where are the results? So if these beliefs are in alignment with reality, that they lead to some vibrancy, vitality, some way that powerful humans can orient themselves in reality, the question is why are you losing? ? Where are the results? And this has been going on for a long time. So you could, they , , . It's gonna happen soon. These things take time and there's no results. Now there's not even results in a small way. So this is an example, like the nervous system. The important thing to remember, I think in the journey of life, a journey that I would hope for us here at Chateau Bio Individual is a journey of power, of spirit, of blood and fire. That reality and the way that we approach reality isn't made up simply of opposites and belief, ardent belief in the objectivity of this human thinking process.
And I always write about this and drive it home, and it always falls on deaf ears. I understand it for fanatics or true believers or spiritual types or word cells, belief cells, whatev whatever it is, they can't understand this because their entire character comes from opposition. It comes from opposition or maps that are inherited. They're maps that determine that the way that they think is this way. And they're maps that are given to them by happenstance and chance. Therefore, even though they feel as if their engagement in the position is objectively right and true, the truth of the matter is it's not. And that they're being lived, they're not living on their own terms. If you don't synthesize the opposites that are presented to you, the binary opposite positions in all things, not just politics. I'll just give that as an example because the idea of opposites, these things are themselves illusory positions. There are no such things as opposites in nature. This is a delusion, it's something of convenience that in reality does not exist. And in no way does reality adhere to it doesn't give a shit about your opposite views. So based on a static view of opposites, the species, now again, I'm not just making fun of political people. We all do this. We all do. It's a, a reflexive action that we inherit from our, uh, child brain effectively, but I'm not gonna go into that. But the species gives itself identities, bonus points for good girls and good boys for po following, you know, pre-prescribed belief systems that then go on, they go onto mistake for, for objectivity and being real, more real than reality, which again, clearly has nothing to do with reality. And you see this all the time, right? So, so you see this when people get outed and I, I don't support doxing of people or anything like this or you know, you see these, uh, new health women influences that have found Jesus and shit and believe in the flat earth all of a sudden. And, and when the histories of these women get outed or say you have a an over man on Instagram or Twitter, one of these over men types, it's like we all need to be Achilles and go and fucking throw spears around and shit when they get doxed. I mean, okay, so the health woman, she's always an an OnlyFans whore that that's hit 30 and in line with her insectoid lifecycle, all of a sudden she's doing exactly what you'd expect her to do, right? So compared to what she's preaching, her belief is completely different to what she is. And the same, you know, when one of these over men get doxed and they're nothing like the beliefs that they profess. And although these are extreme examples, this is really how beliefs function for most people, most of the time they're a way of masking things. They're sneaky, you don't really know that they're there, but they're always working in the background and they have a direct impact on the physiology and the way that the nervous system is regulated and they're more important than the food that you eat, way more important or how much you can deadlift. So there's always a hilarious discordance between what they are, the truth of what they are and what they're professing to be in terms of their beliefs about themselves. And from this, a lot of time is then spent listlessly hurling insults and judgment at the other side, right? The opposite. So-called opposite side. So for anyone who's done self-work and has seen this in themselves, this can be easily be seen for what it is. It's a complete and utter charade. It's just a human convenience that has no objectivity. It's a complete charade and it has tangible impacts on the individual and the physiology and the, the, uh, how should you say, the flexibility of behavior that people have. And for sure, the nervous system and its regulation is intimately tied up with all of this nonsense. So I even see, and I'm gonna talk about this more next week in part two, but I even see fighting so two sides fighting about what constitutes parasympathetic and sympathetic activity and the activities you should do to be a, a truly optimized, , machine. ,
which one's good and which one's worser?
And these people even brought morals into the picture morality about which ones the good, uh, activity. And you know, why this apparent static side of the nervous system is negative, it's just negative and people just need to be fucking more decent people man, you know, and do the right activities. Yeah, I mean, it just makes you sick. How delusional this animal is, how delusional we are.
And like I was saying, these sides, right? 'cause they consider themselves sides just throw insults at each other, just throw insults, uh, like a fucking, uh, like a monkey throwing feces, just throwing turds at the other team, the the sympathetic team or the parasympathetic team. But the question remains, how many of these people have truly synthesized the opposites have truly looked in themselves and understood from the data that they've collected, how these things actually work, how they actu actually work. Because in particularly in bio-individual stuff, so scientific and physiological matters, it's more important to synthesize opposites far more important. And to change your beliefs from the synthesis,
at least in politics, being an opposite fag. That's the new word I've made an opposite fag at least that has utility, right? In politics. 'cause politics is a monkey fucking thing to get into. It's just throwing shit at one another basically. But, but in matters of physiology and science, it's stupid. It's really not necessary. And it always comes again from beliefs that have no, uh, bearing on reality as it is. So it's for this reason that I wanna put the, the great nervous system debate of 2024, I wanna put it to bed, because from what I've seen, no one really understands it. They all treat it as if you're a machine bolted to a factory floor and you give out, you know, you give out max revs depending on like what oil brand you put in or something. Like that's how they talk about it, right? And none of them talk about beliefs. The beliefs that were ru like running in the background that led to the stupid fucking argument to start with. No one thinks about it on that level. But there are other things at play in the regulation of the nervous system that go beyond just a conception of the branches. The sympathetic branch, the parasympathetic branch is literally how these people view it. And it's com completely incomplete and it has no bearing on reality. Let me correct that. It kind of does because when, when people internalize these silly little maps, they'll start doing things that they don't need to do or that are not ideal for them to do. And where they're at as people, they won't listen to themselves. They'll listen to the theory on the two static concretized tokenized branches. We love to tokenize things, don't we? We we tokenize parasympathetic and we tokenize sympathetic, then we ascribe morals and goods and bads and all the opposites to it. When people do that, it means that they'll plan their lives around doing the wrong thing, the non empirical thing. It will become an ideology, a belief system. And again, they'll start doing things that are, that are need to do or that are not ideal for them or are not required. And they'll start subscribing to a static view of either as the basis of how to proceed in their work. And I'm not embellishing things. This tweet storm was literally that stupid. And actually it was a catalyst for me leaving Twitter except . the wax and crescent moon and I let everyone fucking have it. I let 'em have it. I call everyone a stupid prick just to get it out, you know, just to exercise out that charge of spite that I build up over the month and then I just go and move on with my next month. Free, . , all that, uh, damned up energy, damned up spite energy. As I was saying, I think I've said this to you all before, I think that, and I was saying this to Kevin actually a couple of nights ago, I think that we here at this blog and people like us are just so far beyond people online and what they're pedaling for the reasons I'm describing, because we have a more complete view of the human being that to expose yourself consistently to these layers of stupidity and stupid fucking people who are, who are dumb as fuck and don't understand anything, right? It's a highly physiologically diminishing activity. It's just not even worth it. When I go on there. . I don't learn anything. There is no one there that has an understanding. I think that's beyond what's being presented here. It's tainted with all the things that I've described in this podcast. And I'll tell you why it is. It's because they read books. They read books, they go on Instagram or wherever else, and they just go, this is what I read in the book, but we'll talk about this more next week. The, the most critical thing to do is to collect your own data because you can have all the book learning in the world and if you don't have your own deep data to draw on . , . It's just a belief. And as we've seen, beliefs have far reaching consequences. So it's not like it's just this innocent thing that doesn't matter. They absolutely do matter, which is why they need to be confronted. And in any course of, uh, biophysical, psychophysical, bio individual work, the beliefs must be reckoned with aggressively, very aggressively. And, and when you have your beliefs messed with, it can be painful. Which is why most people don't want to do it. 'cause they, they think it's real. So they think when you are breaking down a belief that they get insulted 'cause they're like, ?
, , this is my experience, you know, but we recognize a belief for what it is. It's just a convenience, it's just a map. Doesn't, it's got no bearing on the great om , , doesn't care about your either or thinking it's just doing what it's gonna do. And we are just monkeys trying to, uh, to interpret it. But as bio individuals, these things need to be looked at and they need to be pulled apart. And you need to have the right mindset for that. The mindset is you need to be open to being dismantled and then built up again in your own image. If you don't want do that, that's fine. Just go and believe. Just go and believe it. Whatever makes you feel better, right? Just go, oh,
you know, that's, that's bullshit. My belief will, after dismantling myself a few times now and not, sorry, not just doing it to myself, I've worked with people who did it for me. It is abundantly obvious to me like people's characters are not mysterious anymore. They're not mysterious. I can see where , , can see it in other people. It becomes very obvious, uh, what beliefs are running, running the, uh, the hardware. So again, coming back to the nervous system, next week we're gonna talk about the nervous system from an evolutionary point of view, from the point of view of the evolutionary history. 'cause that's a very important part to understand because you need to understand arousal systems,
uh, the sensory motor system and the human being and how these things that are real and tangible, how they actually work. And then you can start to get an idea of how, I've just been talking about beliefs today a lot, but how, uh,
beliefs fit into all of this as, as part of this neural architecture of feedback, homeostasis, operating in the, the environment and everything else. So until next time, I wish you all the best for those, uh, who are,
uh, paid subscribers. If you look below, there is a nice hypnotic conduction, which incidentally will help you jolt yourself out of your
beliefs. Okay? We'll speak them.
