Hi Donald,
You mentioned neurophysiology on Sunday at Meeting and some thoughts about this have come to mind ... curious about your thoughts about this too ...
Neurophysiology of the Harbin warm pool and of Meeting have many parallels for me ... as kinds of releasing actions or centerings, and biologically as I see this ... I almost always feel l transformed neurophysiogically somehow while at Harbin and upon leaving ... this is far-reaching neurophysiology and also kind of wondrous naturally.
(My mother too when I was little I'd say generated/communicated far-reaching neurophysiology of care and love ... as biology with me her first son everyone having our own unique neurophysiologies). But this is a powerful neurophysiology for me which might inform a future friendship with a partner - a pair bond and a troopbond in John Money's senses {http://scottmacleod.com/anthropology/determinism.htm} - I hope, which I hope might influence even having kids (anticipating thinking thru conversation about their careers plus).
How to access or generate these neurophysiologies whenever and at different times of our lives and in diff contexts?
And how to generate these positive bodymind brain chemistries such as loving bliss neurophysiologies - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology) and http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Caring_and_Loving - for others if possible ... and perhaps too via music.
How Meeting and Harbin differ biologically and culturally ... appreciating the pragmatic idealism of friendly caring history process and language ... and appreciating the 60s informed, clothing optional warm water informed vision or milieu of Harbin ... all as neurophysiologies ...
I'd hazard we have Agency as intentional causation - for all of this - regardless of milieu. I'm not sure how to meditate / sit in Meeting into 9 hours a day of this blissful love-care-joy neurophysiology however. But I'm curious. You?
I hope such explorations, almost as kinds of Quaker Meeting, might occur in virtual worlds like a virtual Harbin and from our bathtubs, and with the music we like, for one, or exploring haltingly music-making and bliss generation with SCD ... otherwise the way opening to this is quite gradual
Friendly regards, Scott
