Ley-lines and bees

[Tremyfro]

Surely there must be a decision process of whether you want to catch the ball or not?

You decide to catch a ball......the hand/motor coordination is the auto bit via the spinal synapses. During rapid play even the decision to catch/bounce/kick a ball is on auto.

If someone threw a knife to me, I'm pretty sure my thinking process comes in before there was any automated response

Ahh, but what triggered the synapses in the first place? You had to see the ball. Vision? A very dumbed down version - Light frequencies converted to images in the brain

 

[Tremyfro]

I was talking about the motor response. Not the initiator. I am fairly sure you wouldn't 'think' in response to someone throwing a knife at you. Far too slow for survival. By the time you had computed 'knife about to pierce my body' ...you would have been cut. I am pretty sure you would just react. That reaction being an auto response.

The brain gets bypassed when doing activities such as catching a ball, running, riding a bike etc. The electrical impulses go to the spinal column and back. That is why a person who has suffered a stroke...can learn to walk again. Nothing to do with conscious thought. A bird can fly...fab. What is incredible, is that a creature, which can't fly, has worked out the aerodynamics, an engine to power it and guide and control a plane which can be made to fly......well done human brain.

brain doesnt get bypassed ... it just goes to a different bit...
i.e. there are two lots of nerves that go from the eyes into the brain.
example of this was a man who lost part of his concious vision but was still "aware" of them. The nerve to the concious part of the brain were destroyed but not the other lot.
There are literally two of you inside the skull.
one that see stripes and runs... (tiger)
the other that classifies stripe and thinks " oh that may be a tiger"

One that drives the car while the other listens to the radio.

The key for bike riding is getting the subconcious bit to not fixate on the lorry but the gap along side it when the lorry s on the wrong side of the road on a corner and death is fast approaching.

As I said above, if you replicate something then it's true.

If it cannot be replicated it's BS.

Leylines have been around at least 80 years - probably longer - and if there was scientific evidence for their existence, it would have been published now.

(It cannot be magnetic as magnetic anomalies are used in geophysics,,, so it must be a new undiscovered form of mind control. Telepathy has been debunked in scientific experiments. so it cannot be that either.)

If it cannot be replicated it's BS.

So that being the case we are all figments of our imagination as we cannot be reliably replicated.

Homeopathy has been around for longer. The evidence for its working has not been scientifically gathered as it does not profit the pharmaceutical companies and the producers of the homeopathic remedies do not charge huge amounts for their products. I have personally seen bleeding stopped by using Homeopathic means when flesh had been ripped to the bone. I also treated myself for a repeated infection using homeopathy and it has never returned. There is no scientific evidence that it works because it has not been properly investigated just dismissed as impossible. But there is plenty of anecdotal evidence.

The ancient sites of prehistory have significance that we do not yet understand as we have no equivalent of the rosetta stone. Yet the early Christians thought they were important enough to build their churches over. We do not yet understand everything in this world of ours It was only a few hundred years ago that people thought the earth was flat and men at the limits of exploration had "here be monsters" written on the edge of the map. We don't even understand bees properly yet.

Homeopathy? Magic stones, mythical lines of power... oh my... what next... Magic fairy bees with little wands that fill jars with honey when we are all sleeping!?

Hard to believe there are still people out there that cant comprehend how ridiculous such notions are!

Couple of links if anyone interested:

So childbirth is not replication?

Anyone with a GCSE in chemistry can discredit homeopathy.

That's me buggered then - only got O levels (but then, that's probably the equivalent of an A level by today's standards)

 

[Binge]

Yep, my daughter sat her chem, phys and biol GCSEs (2 year course?) after one terms work!
They then have the option to resit!
It makes no sense to me.

 

[Ely]

Does seem a bit easy these days buy I did mine 15 years ago. On the other hand, if it allows them onto further education that little easier instead of flunking and ending up in a dead end job or on benefits then it ain't so bad.

Or perhaps they are not easier and the web has been a great tool for learning? Who knows?

 

[REDWOOD]

We have apprentices in work who have to take their basic skills tests in collage because the education system is in my opinion rubbish compared to what it was 30 years ago. The mathematics they are teaching them is what I done when I was 12 which makes it a gap of 4 years.


Incidental I was talking to a dowser last night and I popped the question what are ley lines and his reply was which ones ? which opened a 3 hour discussion on the subject. Now all this came from a highly intelligent and well educated individual who was in a high military position and has met many cultures and religious people around the world and I have got to say he was very convincing but not pushy. I might just get two coat hangers and give it a go as seeing is believing as they say

If it don't work you'll be accused of being insensitive at best or not in tune with your inner self

Don't worry I'll be on my own, I can't be seen wondering hills and valleys with metal sticks in my hands, people around here do talk

...Now all this came from a highly intelligent and well educated individual who was in a high military position...

Just the sort to be taken in by a charming persuasive, plausible and yet erroneous argument.

See Schliffen plan, 2000's Invasion of Iraq, Dardenelles campaign... and loads of military history

Why are we talking metal hangers and rods? To the best of my (very amateur) knowledge dowsing was originally done with hazel. I learnt with a small Y shaped piece of freshly cut hazel, holding an arm of the 'Y' in each hand and watching the response of the main branch.
Metal coathangers? Must be an urban thing.

 

[Tremyfro]

Actually looking for ley lines .....so perhaps metal coat hangers are the thing....although they wouldn't have had those years ago...only a wooden twig.
As said before I neither believe nor disbelieve. I think the human brain is an incredible organ. Capable of far more than we think...he he. I don't think it is a case of proving the ley lines exist...more a case of people feeling that they do exist. Perhaps if you, as an individual, are sensitive to your environment then you would also be more sensitive to your beehives requirements, without realising that you are. Perhaps when setting up your hive...what feels to be the right place...is the right place for the bees.
