This zeersight grew out of an acupuncture visit. Please excuse my failure to learn Thai, so zandtao's enforcement of limited communication was "too much yin", place of birth and acclimatisation. From years of treatment zandtao knew that if he could understand what she was getting at, it would be beneficial. zandtao travelled much in the 2nd half of his work life so he understood the body changed with acclimatisation, and of course he was grateful for this. However it was one of the many natural unconscious functions of the body - what he thinks of as neuroscience and neural pathways - and these things have usually just ticked over if he is spiritually in harmony. On occasions in his life such as hepatitis Z in Africa where he had to consciously help the liver - hepatitis Z was a hangover from his years of alcohol addiction. Hepatitis Z left him functioning 50%, was cured almost immediately by acupuncture, and his liver has always needed conscious support because of the harm he did with his addiction. With the liver he was spiritually helping the unconscious functioning of the body, apart from cummin and black pepper and acupuncture he doesn't consciously think of liver now. He is however always consciously trying to help his weak heart now. What was she getting at with "too much yin", place of birth and acclimatisation?
Then he connected acclimatisation and place of birth and neuroscience - khandha-kaya memory (body memory) and then later clarity came with the word default. From memory there was some unconscious acclimatising process returning khandha-kaya to the natural state at "place of birth". Over his retirement years there had been much conscious effort to accept the change in climate, he accepted acclimatisation. But the acupuncturist said there was too much yin, there was still acclimatising going on affecting his health. What was she getting at?
There was unconscious acclimatising still happening leading to too much yin. As part of neuroscience?, each organ has its own functioning unconscious memory, and it has a default setting - place of birth. So overall he was consciously accepting and sometimes encouraging acclimatisation but the body's neuroscience was stuck and unconsciously kicking back to default - Wallasey the cold, the wind and the sea of North-West England. This he saw in too much dukkha - too much khandha-kaya-dukkha. He knew he was dealing with too much dukkha and had previously accepted this. But some of this dukkha was khandha-kaya repeatedly and unconsciously returning itself to the default of place of birth - too much yin. As he was spiritually acclimatised he had not considered that parts of his khandha-kaya were still defaulting to Wallasey - the cold, the wind and the sea of North-West England. He knows the spirit can govern the khandhas so he began a process of spiritually acclimatising the parts and totality of his body so that they did not use the default setting.
This morning it became clear - change the default to Thailand - a new "place of birth". He embraced this change of default feeling throughout his body that the body-memory needs to change to the Thai climate. He was rewarded with a glow, probably a glow from the heart not having to do "too much yin".
zandtao knows his science is not scientifically accurate especially for scientists who do not accept spirit, consciousness or dhamma. At these times he always remembers Annie Besant's book "Consciousness of the atom" at 27; each atom has its own atom-consciousness. This later got extended in bill's mind to each organ or life has its own consciousness(or dhamma), and even later he understood that each organ functioned consciously to itself but unconsciously to bill. zandtao associated this unconscious functioning with neural pathways that were unconsciously controlled by the brain - hence he called it neuroscience. But this is all khandha and so subordinate to spirit and consciousness, and he knew that focus could alter neural pathways. His focus could alter the khandha-kaya memory that was reverting to the default of cold wind and sea. Change the default, change khandha-kaya memory to Thai climate. The so-called sceptical science that rejects the evidence of acupuncture (SBM and quackwatch - these people can always find BigPharma money!) would have a field day with this description of neural pathways as so-called neuroscience, but the glow as always was the sufficient proof for zandtao - nothing better than naturally feeling good. (At least SBM have windmills to slay with RFK junior - a godsend for their ignorant scepticism).
There was a dukkha issue arising during this resolving process. There was an excess of dukkha, dukkha arising naturally from daily life and the unconscious dukkha arising from organs resetting to default. It was just dukkha to deal with and he could not discern so there was confusion. As khandha-kaya adjusts to the new default there will be issues of discernment to cope with. But in the end he hopes that this will be just part of his practice. And his khandha-kaya practice needs altering so that there is focus that ensures the new default of living in Thai climate.
