good day shannon. Most fundamentally we physicians attempt to
interpret the pattern of our observations. The actor exercises some
aspects of a mental process, with analytical precision or otherwise,
the results of which we observe. Is the actor able to express 'free
will' or are they 'predetermined' to express themselves as we
observe?
We are trained in homeopathy and oriental medicine that all stress
factors act on the vital force (chi), and that we observe or the pt.
experiences the 'reaction' or 'response' of the vital force (chi).
The relationship between the stress factors and the vital force is
of a mutually interdependent nature. Please note that I am with
intention not using the phrase pathogenic factors. Stress factors
is a component to the existence of the life force. It remains
valueless, not pathogenic nor antipathogenic. It becomes a stimulus
within a social context.
So your child reflects a behavior, and likely other symptoms, that
is a 'response' to the stress factors which are acting on his vital
force. If control was possible, it would suggest an imposition of
wilful intention and in an extreme potentially overriding one's
constitution and/or miasms. Parenthetically control is contra to
all training of hypnotism, namely that one cannot be made to violate
one's so-called moral attitudes. One's constitution evolves from
your miasmatic foundation. In oriental medicine we refer to this as
the 'source chi', yuan chi. One's constitution becomes the garb
clothing your miasms. Therefore my conclusion is that there is no
such thing as control; that it is an illusion; that the issue is
always one of management of the social conditions in which one finds
oneself.
The allopathic paradigm infers control as there is no context for
what is observed. There is the assertion that through medicine or
surgery control of the pattern may be achieved. Our paradigms are
based on principles which offer interpretations of 'how' not 'why'
things occur as they do. Control would find ready association with
'why'.
Both the observer and the actor are in a soup of social stimulus.
And the dynamics, the action component of this soup is 'time'. Time
is the promotional element to the social stimulus. And the social
stimulus is the element which protects time. They are servants to
one another. It is not a question of control. It is a reflection
of management, an intertwined reflection of social stimulus and time
aspects (see below). And this mix offers a qualitative description
of 'how' things occur as they do. We observe what has occurred or
what is occurring to another whose vital force is 'reacting' to the
stress factors on their path of life.
You have described the reaction which both you and your child have
to a common stimulus. Further you have offered a distinction in how
each of you currently differ in your response. Were control real
you would not have one foot 'in the door' or out the door, and your
child would accept w/o issue a change in the environment. So
something else is occurring of an energetic nature which is not
quantifiable.
My assessment and I believe our mutual training yields our
application of principles, whether as actor or observer, with a
yin/yang relationship between a miasmatic constitutional vital force
and stress factors. And that they are intertwined in an inter
consuming, inter transforming, mutually interdependent relationship.
My description below is intended to demonstrate that an actor
exercises an expression of 'acceptance or rejection' to any and all
stress factors; that this is an expression of selection which flows
from one's miasmatically influenced constitution and; that the
fluidity of the process unfolds with one of three aspects of time.
The level of agitation which you describe your child having is
suggestive of a disturbance within the linear time aspects (see
below). That component of function which requires crisp linear
processing of information is disturbed. That component which you
describe that offers 'sedation' to the agitated state is imagination
time. The depth of somatic disturbance is evaluated by reviewing
the whole picture, the pattern of social stimulus responses. In
oriental medicine it would be the overlay of the extraordinary
vessel system with the regular channel system. I mention this
parenthetically and won't elaborate here.
And so it is not a question of control, rather of management. The
ability to select of the myriad of alternatives offered at any
instant one that portends good health as a consequence. And as Dr.
Little commented in an earlier posting that health is a relative
circumstance as stress factors are inherent in life's manifestation.
Hi Isali,
(Sorry for my slow response) I'm afraid you've completely lost me.
How
does this explain or relate to the TV experience? It seems to me
that the
TV junkie is failing to make each level of decision making, and
that's what
interests me. But what was your thought?
