Welcome to "BeyondPhreology," where we delve into the depths of psychology and neuroscience. In this podcast episode, Dr. Madhur Mangalam challenges the entrenched beliefs in sensorimotor research that have long shaped our understanding of human movement. Drawing from recent discoveries, Dr. Mangalam dismantles the traditional assumptions surrounding optimal sensorimotor strategies. He reveals a new paradigm, proposing that the human movement system is not governed by rigid frameworks but operates as a dynamic tensegrity structure, adapting to local compression and tension. Through a captivating exploration, Dr. Mangalam demonstrates how multiplicative interactions across scales defy conventional decomposition methods and how the central nervous system orchestrates complex, non-representational processes driven by power-law dynamics. As he navigates the complexities of sensorimotor physiology, Dr. Mangalam highlights the limitations of applying traditional engineering tools, advocating for alternative approaches like biotensegrity and cascade dynamical formalisms. These methodologies, he argues, offer a fresh perspective on understanding both healthy sensorimotor performance and its disruptions in disease. Join us as we challenge the status quo and journey towards a more holistic understanding of human sensorimotor capabilities, guided by Dr. Madhur Mangalam's visionary insights. https://lnkd.in/g8q6mMT6

David Bohm, was one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century. He was on a lifelong quest to understand the nature of reality and consciousness, especially in terms of coherent wholeness, which he viewed as being in an ever-unfolding and fluid state. His timely work crossed the realms of science, philosophy, and spirituality. Bohm made a significant contribution to quantum physics and to the philosophy of consciousness. He provided unique and alternative ideas to the more orthodox understanding of quantum physics of his day, and among other things, is credited with resolving some of the apparent contradictions within conventional interpretations such as wave-particle duality. He was also able to theoretically demonstrate the existence of non-locality, before it was later experimentally proven by Alan Aspect. Bohm was passionate about the power of supportive dialogue as a force for good in the world, with it’s ability to unify and resolve divisions; and he warned about the dangers of overemphasising the importance of rationality, and unrestrained technological advancement. Bohm’s book ‘Quantum Theory’, published in 1951, completely transformed the worldview of a 15 year-old Danah Zohar, and went on to inspire her work. After being a longtime hero of hers, he later become her friend and mentor after she interviewed him in 1979. This is a wonderful and insightful interview between David Bohm and Dr. David Suzuki, which looks in depth at many aspects of Bohm’s perspective on the universe, and displays the warmth of his character as he discusses everything from the problem of understanding the nature of reality, to interconnectedness, the Bohmian view, how thought is conditioned and desire is programmed, Krishnamurti, fear, self-deception, getting to the root of the issue, and much more. David Bohm: “The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.” “Thought is creating divisions out of itself and then saying that they are there naturally.” “We are all linked by a fabric of unseen connections. This fabric is constantly changing and evolving. This field is directly structured and influenced by our behavior and by our understanding. “Thus, in a dialogue each person does not attempt to make common certain ideas or items of information that are already known to him. Rather, it can be said that collectively they are making something in common.” “Universe consists of frozen light.” “Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves. The universe is not separate from this cosmic sea of energy.” “In this flow, mind and matter are not separate substances. Rather, they are different aspects of one whole and unbroken movement.” “Individuality is only possible if it unfolds from wholeness.” #Bohm #QuantumPhysics #Consciousness #Reality #Wholeness #Interconnectedness #Dialogue #Thought

This is Dr. Hughes second appearance on the podcast. His background is in biochemistry and biophysics of protein folding, and water hydration structures. But today we're digging under the floorboards of science itself. Is it possible to have a science that isn't built on some set of assumed values? To tackle this issue, we dig into esoteric mysticism - particularly the work of Rudolph Steiner, who prophesized many of the features of the world we see today back in the late 19th century. This leads us to a path where we explore the modern scientific approach to understanding nature, grounded in materialism in all its splendor and shortcomings, asking where do we go from here? What does a healthy science of the future actually look like?

We are a few hours from my talk. This new blog is a preview of the biophysics I will discuss today. Every wave in Nature connects with every mass in nature via resonance, and so it is with life and how we create things. ----Dr. Jack Kruse A central mitochondriac credo is "everything scales back to light, water, and magnetism........" Today, I will show @PalestraSociety how true this is. The measure of the wisdom in your intelligence is forecasted in your ability to change. Any fool can know things. The point is to understand how nature operates in life. How does magnetism put its two cents into the ART story on Earth to FORGE A CIVILIZATION? Can you create art if half to two-thirds of your life was dedicated to hibernation? Many mammals use it, but we did something amazing with it. Did you know crystals are a special part of matter whose atomic lattice allows for it to be loaded with tons of electrons that can be excited in place or moved by light photons depending on the energy in the light they are struck by? Do you know where crystals naturally form in the universe and are linked directly to the laws of electromagnetism? Crystals form along the lines of magnetic demarcation set forth by the magnetic field of an object. The Earth has its own magnetic field, and the Sun has massive magnetic fields. How was ART formed initially? Have you ever thought about that primordial idea? Can a decentralized MD do it? ART is matter designed to capture light energy from a star and transfer it to another crystalline lattice. What are the crystals in Nature that transform starlight into ART? MELANIN AND WATER These photosynthetic crystalline cores make the ENTIRE ART web on Earth. Semiconductors take light and reflect it to create something new from the light. That reflection is seen in ART and the civilization you perceive. Your perception is also a shadow cast of melanin and water in your sense organs. https://lnkd.in/eM9xgFsc
