  • Perceptual shift

    Perceptual shift

    Perceptual shift happens within. Paradigm shift? Perceptual shift? Cognitive shift? A fundamental shift in the way we understand science and life? This is happening. A new physics of life. This has been going on at least since the 20th century as a continuous development and we now have what looks like the best contender for…

  • The emergence of a coherent and transformative vision of health.

    Here in the United States there is a kind of collective psychosis or delusion that is embodied in the two figureheads of Trump and Musk. There is a powerful single mindedness of purpose that is driving that destructive process forward. It has to do with power over and extractive wealth and ethnic cleansing. Writing during…

  • The substrate is the flesh.

    The substrate is the flesh.

    Proposal: a testable haptic theory of the functional anatomy of the human sensory motor Markov blanket, focusing on proprioception. This is major advance in active inference theory. The integrative kinesiological functions of the proprioceptive sensory motor system are the basis of biomechanical active inference. The postural system of the body can be specified accurately biomechanically…

    A Whole New Body Part: The Deep Core.

    A Whole New Body Part: The Deep Core. Embodying Musclemonk Day 8 I teach about a whole new body part: the Deep Core. That’s got to be pretty important. It’s a big deal. A game changer. Because it brings with it a new form of cognition. I meditate upon it in these videos. Find out…

  • Embodying Musclemonk Day 7, 1-7-2025

    The discovery of a radical new body part and with it a radical new form of cognition. This is how to meet the metacrisis head on. Stage Fright I am finding that one of the most difficult things about embodying Musclemonk in addition to imposter syndrome is stage fright. I am looking for an improv…

  • The anatomy of the universal patterns of the subconscious.

    The anatomy of the universe patterns of our subconscious –The subconscious patterns of our animal intelligence are reducible to a handful of highly metaphorical adaptive micromovements.— In chapter 3 of June Singer’s biography of Carl Jung, The Boundaries Of The Soul, she talks about how Jung, working with others, figured out that the unconscious was…

  • The Solution Is Within Each Of Us

    The Solution Is Within Each Of Us We are living in a time of crisis. We are dangerously disconnected from the Earth resulting in serious ecological catastrophe. We are also alarmingly disconnected from each other resulting in tremendous polarization, hostility and weaponization. We are also very seriously disconnected from our own bodies, resulting in chronic…

  • Self aware, self directed, self healing, and self evident.

    Self aware, self directed, self healing, and self evident.

    Self aware, self directed, self healing, and self evident. While it is visibly obvious, the fact that these bones act as the coordinative center for the junctures and sensory stations they are at the center of is self evident because you possess them physically. That these bony servomechanisms coordinate the major junctures on the axial…

  • The problem isn’t them. It’s us

    The problem isn’t them. It’s us. The solution isn’t them. It’s also us. It is easy to mistake destruction for construction. In fact there are even a wide range of diseases that we mistake for healthy. These are mismatch or “lifestyle” diseases. It is even possible to wear the body backwards—rather than in a balanced…
