ACCHS-Western Sciences

Post your thoughts on one of this afternoon's discussions. We read about how Trumps administration believes a little radiation is good for us. This was a very frustrating topic for me to listen to.  I was born and raised in Wisconsin where there is a lot of nuclear plants. I have very close family friends that have spent their entire working in those plants. Almost all of them have fought or been taken from cancer in this life. I have seen and have heard of so many employees getting cancer that worked in those plants. I do not think that is a coincidence. I believe that radiation can have horrible effects on the human body. Trump and his people are just doing it for money.        2. Check out the various links on cells on the links below and post your impressions. I really enjoy the virtual cell link. When I took biology we spend a lot of time coloring pictures and seeing it in 2D. It's really nice being able to have an interactive 3D visual of the c...

 I know I'm a "living system" because... Living systems are always in the act of becoming... which is a cognitive act. If creation, molecular activity, and molecular reactions are occurring than it is a living system.  I am exactly that. I am a living thing that has chemical reactions and molecular activity happing constantly thoughout my body.        2. Biophysics and Traditional Chinese Medicine.  All life and all things have and are energy aka Qi. So anything that is considered a "living system" has Qi. So chinese medicine can relate to all things with life. 

Post your thoughts on one of the Discussion items from this afternoon's class. The Dawn of low-carbon shipping: This article gave me hope and made me very excited about how our technology and world is going to transform in a more sustainable way. If began using hydrogen fuel for more than just cargo ships then our oceans would be in much better shape. Whenever a cargo ship accidentally loses its cargo...so much of the oceans marine life gets affected by it in a negative way. The more we protect our oceans the healthier and happier our oceans will be. I am very excited about the idea of having zero carbon ships! Pick a definition and post my thoughts:  Biochemistry is the chemistry of life: I think this definition is very clear and obvious. Chemistry and biology have an intimate and duel relationship with anything that has life. Life is filled with chemicals and anytime there are chemicals or life happening then chemical reactions are likely to be occurring. Just thinki...

My E-Prime Day  - describe your day, only using English Prime I wake up from sleeping at 7am on a Monday. I then sit on a pillow and close my eyes. Then I focus on my breathing and try to quiet my mind for about 20min. I then open my eyes and practice lengthening my muscles with stretches.  After this, I go to dive to a person's house to rub their muscles and pull on their limbs to stretch them. After the massage, I go to a place with many trees and run on dirt trails.  Next, I wrote thoughts in a journal and then read. I end the day with eating food with my family and competing in a game of corn hole.  "As above, so below"? Above us are the stars, sky, planets, moons, and sky Below us is the earth, the soil, minerals our planet Bring them together creates us...humans. We are made up of the stars and the above, but we need and require what's below us to live and survive. As above so below and in our center is us. A perfect balance of heaven and earth...

Ø   Are there connections you can make between Sacred Geometry and Physics? There are many links between Sacred Geometry and Physics.  Such as quantum entanglement. In Sacred Geometry measurement is very important and so is the calculation. One degree of difference in design will change and influence the rest of the of geometry. Just like a ripple/butterfly effect which occurs. It sharts with something small, but over great distances, it can have a huge influence. Such as seeds, pine cones, protons, pineapples, cauliflower...etc. It's easy to find common reoccurring patterns all around us in nature. In Chinese medicine, this is often seen and considered when we work with feng shui. Physicists often create mathematical patterns which represent the universe and many of these drawings come out as sacred geometry. One example is the flower of life. Which is a shadow of a Metatron cube. Which represents the entire universe and how everything is interconnected.  Sacr...

1. Newton's Three Laws and me  Law 1) Objects at rest remain at rest, and objects In motion remain in motion. An example of how this could affect me or any other human is when we ride a bike. Say I accidentally crashed my bike.. When the bike crashes it will stop, but my body will not. Whatever velocity I was riding the bike at my body will launch from that bike at the same speed I was riding until I hit something to stop me. Law 2) Force equals mass  times acceleration Say I'm trying to push a very heavy fridge across the floor. Perhaps I have enough strength or force to make that fridge move, but perhaps I don't. I might need someone to help me in order to provide more force. The more force we have the easier we will be able to move the fridge. We could figure out how much force or strength will be needed in order to move the fridge mathematically. In order to do this, I must know the mass of the object and at what acceleration I would like the fridge to move.  ...

Each culture in the world views time differently. In western culture, time is perceived to be more linear. In America time is valuable on a financial level. Anyone in the western business world typically believes that time is money. Also in the western business world, they believe that making quick decisions is important. If a decision isn’t made right away then time is being wasted and so is their money. Westerns are not as careful with considering how it may affect the future and what mistakes have been made in the past. For the westerns its efficiency they value. Time is closely related to life, money, and efficiency. Westerns don’t view the lessons of the past like the Chinese do, they determine how the past lessons were by how the present situation is. The west very much values the present. While in the Eastern world time is viewed not linear but cyclic. Time is precious and the world has an abundance of it, with this abundance allows them to wait for the perfect time. Every d...

I am a huge fan of loafing and have no problem with loafing and not feeling guilty about it. I try to loaf at least 10min everyday. My favorite place to loaf is at the hot springs. When I'm not soaking in the water, I lay a towel or a yoga matt on the ground and just do nothing. I find it deeply healing. My monkey mind tends to slow down and I get clarity on the thoughts that do pop in my head. I gain even more awareness of my body, what is tense and what I need to relax. Which allows me to sink deeper into my puddle of nothingness and peace. My second favorite loafing spot is deep in the forest. I try to find a nice spot near a stream, river or in a tree. Lately, I hike to an amazing oak tree deep in the redwoods. It's the perfect climbing tree and at the very top of this tree is almost like a hand palm, perfect for laying in. I sometimes spend an hour up in the tree just staring at the leaves, listening to nature and getting clarity within myself. This act of doing nothing ...

1. "Ordered Chao": does this sound familiar? It sounds familiar from class and also i've heard this a time or two in this lifetime. When I think of Ordered Chaos... I think of something happening within some type of pattern, or frame. Which adds some logic and structure to the Chaotic or disordered event or situation. I've heard someone describes a piece of artwork as Ordered Chao's. Which contains a level of creative randomness that makes sense.  2. Fractals as patterns of complex systems No matter how much a piece of cauliflower is broken apart it will always look the same. It doesn't matter how many fractions it's broken into, it still looks like the pattern of cauliflower. This is an example that was given in class. No matter how many times something is broken apart, no matter how small of a fraction it becomes compared to the whole. It still contains the same identity and structure. 3. consciousness out of chaos? Consciousness finds ways of...
