statement: we are all animals
Depends on context. Calibrated by request.
Nature
Neanderthal man
Priority request. "The size of the Neanderthal brain shows that Neanderthals were probably intelligent. On average, they had larger brains than modern humans" -- wikipedia.
mantis (insect)
Cannibalistic species whose "camouflage hides it from predators and also makes it inconspicuous as it stalks or awaits victims" -- britannica.com. By request.
tornado
Request: There's been some out here in the Midwest lately, so I was curious about the calibration.
earthquake
Earthquakes can range in intensity, from those so weak they cannot be felt, to those violent enough to propel objects and people into the air, damage critical infrastructure, and wreak destruction across entire cities -- wikipedia.
being discouraged by aging process
Request: A normal part of having a body or something that needs attention?
criminality
illegal activities or behaviour -- dictionary.cambridge.org.
T/F: the loss of ecosystems and biodiversity poses an existential threat to mankind
Request: More people seem to be finding interest in wildlife conservation and soil management, but these issues seem to be obscured by the generalized specter of “climate change.”
poison ivy
Request: Doc always mentions it in his talks, curious what it calibrates at.
human nature
fundamental dispositions and characteristics — including ways of thinking, feeling, and acting — that humans are said to have naturally. The term is often used to denote the essence of humankind, or what it 'means' to be human -- wikipedia.
a man can either listen or do something else (relationships)
A man's attention operates with applied, focused awareness, and his listening occurs in a fixed context. With meaning and intention predetermined by context, his psyche is outcome-oriented, and communication is seen as a goal.
sex
With a variety of motivations, intentions, effects and energies, as well as how these apply in the various chakras, there is a wide range of consciousness to this topic. Sex is calibrated in Truth vs. Falsehood at 250 (awareness, heart).
human body
Surprisingly low calibration indicates not only that the human body is not innately conscious (it is ultimately an idea or, at best, an inanimate object), but also that attachment to the human body is a source of guilt.
transcending the animal brain
The animal brain fears death, sees it as extinction. High teachings of awareness, capability and context are required to transcend it.
effect of having and caring for a pet
Request: When I’m back home with my dogs, I always feel like it increases my LoC. in the heart, especially. My guess is that its in the ‘taking care’ aspect.
