The Force
-
To fully embrace Bioenergetic theory, we must see the connection in all things.
Fundamentally, Ray Peat believed that the cosmos was conducive to Life, rather than antagonistic. In other words, there is something akin to the force of gravity or magnetism that produces Life in the world. It is constantly at work and suddenly bursts forth in a powerful way. When we notice these bursts, we call it Life. This is most easily identified in plants and animals.So then everything that lives and breathes is tuned into this force to one degree or another. It is rightly said that there exists a scale here where a small organism only visible to a microscope is not so finely tuned to this force as a ferocious Lion is.
How does Man fit into this equation? Many would be inclined to see Man as the most finely tuned creature to the Life Force, but this is too simplistic. The religious traditions of the world and throughout the ages agree that Man has a unique place in the world. But they also agree that the vast majority of men exist in a fallen state, forsaking their in born talents. Rare is the man that does not succumb to the temptations of the world. More important though is the man that is gifted with a special endowment of spiritual hardware (so to speak). He not only is more able to rigorously slough the trash around him, but is able to take his freedom from filth to greater depths than others could. He has variously been called a prophet, king, god, superman . . .The most talented men often are highly volatile. Their immense power can be used for good or bad. Training, discipline, sobriety.... Acquiring these attributes are just as important as honing their ferocious abilities into finely tuned instruments. Without them, their abilities could consume not only the practioner, but those around him.
I contend that none of this is mere speculation. Some of us here can recall profound experiences occurring since childhood not easily explained away. I do not here include visions or deja vu, though they should not be ignored entirely, but am mostly thinking of more concrete events. Something like an out of body experience, predicting the future vividly, mind control, or telepathy. Perhaps there is someone here that can will these things on command. Some things cannot be explained or demonstrated in purely rational terms. Nevertheless, we can still strive to employ a scientific and experimental attitude towards these things. I suspect that diet and technology are going to be key to unlocking these secrets.
This topic exists to share all things that may help someone along their journey.

@The-First-One Hi, I'm wondering, is this generated by AI?
-
…yes
-
@The-First-One It is not, but I am not sure how I could prove that. Was there something in particular you thought was suspicious?

@The-First-One I largely agree. My experiences have given me the impression that there is an inextricable link between ESP, etc. and metabolism. Perhaps this link even ought to be taken as a starting point for interpreting the modern political project of ruining metabolism. Reich's idea of genitalization seems useful for understanding these things.

- Rhythm: “Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.”
- Gender: “Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.”

In other words, it's all about the proper balance between yin and yang...

I would doubt it. Our current greedy civilization will soon collapse... mostly because of the lack of ability to think in systemic ways and long-term...

It is energy and structure all the way. Humans are designed by God to be biophile. We both like and are scared by living organisms. We are far less moved by artificial objects. What you call The Force is really just the thread in this story. The story would be too unbalanced and forced to an end if there was not an even distrubtion of energy. There could not be life without death, health without sickness.

@NangaParbat Where to start with Reich? I have heard of him, but never read any of his work.

@The-First-One
His most comprehensive is Character Analysis but it needs some understanding of freudian analysis. Also Ether, God & Devil & Cosmic Superimposition and The bion experiments. There is a publisher reprinting most of his works in affordable paperbacks, that's where I would start.
