I want to talk a bit today about the Visceral System, you know, the one that's being titillated along the emotional spectrum from Armageddon to God's Love. People in this country have been totally cut off at the neck by the Republican party. I am glad and grateful for the pure rage and anger now emerging in the body politic, for it is undoing some of this horrid programming which has stunned many and kept us Blind. For we that see, we must expose it to TRUTH, which is what dKos is all about.
This system is not one recognized by mainstream medicine, but is one that is being used by the US Military (and others) to control and affect the American people. Everyone knows a bit about this, but some may not realize how powerful visceral response is, nor that it refers to a biologic system -- one which the military knows a great deal about.
I have studied the work of Jean-Pierre Barral since 1993. He was recently named one of time magazine's top healing innovators to watch in the new millienium.
It would be impossible to discuss all the aspects of the visceral system and its responses in a short post, but suffice it to say that the body politic is affected by this, and by another system hidden from the public: Neuropsychology and the psychology of human behavior -- as the machine tries to dominate the very energy of our cellular makeup for its own purposes. It is why I am advocating a Return to the Id combined with regrooving our own identity through a combination of science and art. More information on this philosophy can be found at the Science-Artificers Guild, (for which I am a USA Advisor).
Briefly, the visceral system relies on the interconnected synchronicity between the motions of all the organs and other structures of the body. At optimal health, this harmonious relationship remains stable despite the body's endless varieties of motion. But when one organ cannot move in harmony with its surrounding viscera (like connective tissues, for example) because of things like abnormal tone, adhesions, or displacement of anatomy, it works against the body's other organs. It also works against the body's harder structures: muscular and osseous. In addition, membranous and fascial structures can bind up and tighten, preventing proper energetic flow to every structure. This disharmony creates immobility or abnormal points of tension, for which the body creates everything from adaption protocols to repetitive stress syndroms, not to mention pain syndroms. This low to high level chronic tension can pave the way for disease and dysfunction in the more medically accepted systems: musculoskeletal, neurovascular, respiratory, for example.
It should be noted that Barral himself is an osteopath (DO).
Why is this important to the body politic? It is important for the simple reason that the visceral response is the response that is manipulated by the people behind the Rovian machine, not to mention the US military. Most of you know that and some of you know even how the psychological components -- how those buttons get pushed. This is more than just engaging us on mental, or even emotional levels, this is about engagement on body levels, and it is through the viscera this information permeates every cell. There is a tremendous amount of technology coming down the pike for which the American people are in the dark. Some of these things include nanotechnologies, also synthetic biology. People, esp. the fundies, for whom this reality cuts off at the neck (literally), are already tied into the machine, so to speak.
For those of us who are still as outside as our consciousness will allow, exposure to the light is important, especially as it impacts election of our chosen candidates, and restoration of the heart to America. In a sense, Americans are turning into Tin Men. The kinesthetic is being drummed out of our lives and refocused through the TV Reality and Contest Media...our people in a subconscious attempt to wall themselves into this weird media space are losing the ability to move. They are obese. It is worthy here to note that there is evidence that 60 Hz fields, for example, may set a person up for Type II Diabetes. Movement is everything. The desire of many Americans to experience (Lowry is a classic example) visceral response through the TV screen or movie screen is all many have, and was predicted in part by MacLuhan. The medium is not only the message, it is the sum total of their psychological response. I think we all know about things like subliminals. What I am talking about here goes farther, goes into the very physical body itself.
Tin Men, which, when plugged into the machine, can become androids.
To protect ourselves we must Return to the Id, Return to the Beat which protects us and drives us forward.
