densed sensations intermediately and ultimately
the condensed SUBSTANCE.
If we go back the way we came, then I’m going
back without the intention of getting rid of it
or changing it.
It takes a long time for changes to occur from
belief (top) to (sensation) down because the
neurological connections are 5 times greater
from the brain stem (lower brain) to the cortex
(top) than from the cortex (top) to the brain
stem (down). There has to be a neurological shift
and unwinding for the “realization” to remain
stable.
If that be true, then the more “you” move from
higher (cortex or cortical level) to lower abstractions
back to sensation (brain stem or thalamic
level) and ultimately into energy, then “you” will
be “closer” to “what is” (THE SUBSTANCE level),
provided that later “you” don’t move back the
other way (cortical level) and draw conclusions
about “what is.”
Question: As soon as “you” draw conclusions, you’re back
in your story?
Wolinsky: This is why in neuroscience it is suggested that
each time there is a movement toward cortical,
millions of stimuli are omitted and just a fraction
of them are selected.
Each time “I” move from lower to higher (from
brainstem to cortical level), I get “farther” away
from THAT.
This is a neurological picture of “go back the way
you came.” That’s why “you” should take the labels
