Hodgepodge: All things that don't fit on-going threads

[RunningDeer]

Change fatigue is real: Anyone who is sensory and feeling in the way they process the world, or anyone who's just feeling either heartbroken or horrified or shocked by many of the things that they're seeing going on around the world, change fatigue is real.

You might just have felt that the world and your life have changed so fast over such a period of time that you haven't got it in you anymore. You just need to take a breath and sit back as much as you can.

That exhausted feeling nobody talks about.

Your Organs Speak! Scientists Discovered the Language — And It Cures Cancer Without Chemo

• Dr. Mayim Bialik
• March 8, 2026
• 2.2M subscribers

What if cancer isn’t just a disease… but a split personality inside your own body?

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Michael Levin (Professor of Biology at Tufts University, Director of the Allen Discovery Center) drops paradigm-shattering insights that could redefine medicine, consciousness, intelligence...and what it even means to be human.

He explains why he calls cancer “dissociative identity disorder of the body” — a breakdown in the body’s bioelectrical network — and how this could open the door to treating cancer without drugs or chemotherapy, why “mind blindness” prevents us from recognizing nonhuman intelligence, and how “human” might be defined in a future of tech implants and biological augmentation.

Dr. Levin also breaks down:

• What does a body think about before there is a brain?
• Can we regrow limbs in our lifetime?
• Are we closer than we think to communicating with our organs via an app?
• What flatworms reveal about how trauma and memory are imprinted in tissue, and whether we might one day overwrite trauma itself
• What nonhuman intelligence could actually look like
• How you might play tic-tac-toe with an alien
• Real dangers of anthropomorphizing AI

Dr. Levin also tackles some of humanity’s biggest existential questions:

• Are we defining consciousness all wrong?
• How can ancient traditions and modern biophysics coexist?
• Why compassion may be the most advanced technology we have

From developmental biophysics to computer science to cognitive science, this conversation explores how intelligence may be woven into life itself — from cells to organs to entire bodies.

If what he’s saying is right…

• Medicine will change.
• AI debates will change.
• And our understanding of ourselves will change.

You will never look at your body the same way again!

• The Mindful Body:Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, by Dr. Ellen Lange

What if the things you do every single day are quietly making you sick… and you don’t even realize it?

Harvard psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer, author of The Mindful Body, reveals the shocking ways our minds shape our health, aging, stress levels, and even how long we live—often without us noticing.

In this mind-expanding of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Langer explains why self-agency and making your own decisions can literally extend your lifespan, how expectations and beliefs shape disease progression, and why the real meaning of mindfulness has almost nothing to do with meditation.

Dr. Langer breaks down:

• Small, everyday habits that are secretly harming your health
• Why stress is the #1 cause of illness (and not for the reason you think)
• Whether healing timelines are based on real time or perceived time
• Surprising benefits of positive thinking, even with terminal illness
• Danger of labels, including words like “try” and “remission”
• Why spontaneous remissions exist & why they’re so hard to study
• Simple ways to become more mindful right now, even if you’ve never meditated once in your life
• Can we train ourselves to not need eyeglasses?
• The real power of the placebo effect
• Can the mind cure the common cold?
• Psychological treatments for chronic illness
• Who is more likely to get sick & why
• How color influences our biology more than we think
• Why spirituality requires presence and mindfulness
• How to reframe negative circumstances into positive ones, and the health benefits of doing so
• How her mother’s battle with cancer inspired her groundbreaking research

This episode will change how you think about healing, stress, aging, illness, and the true power of your mind over your body!

You may never see health, sickness, or “reality” the same way again.

I was spellbound by this segment of a larger interview of Chase Hughes in which he recounts the experience of his 5 hour DMT treatment, one factor being that he felt he'd been "away" for 6 months and didn't want to return. He said it seemed more real than his current life.

Here's a link to the longer interview if interested, which covers a lot more than his DMT trip:

Wow, grapevine - that longer interview held me rapt! I listened today while I cooked, although the end was a little too promotional. But most of it was captivating, and also ties in with some other recent threads on the forum. (Like PainterDoug's NDE thread and Casey Claar's thread on soveriegnty.

Evidence of Plant Intelligence - The Bizarre Polarity of Plants

• Click here if you prefer watching Rupert Sheldrake speak rather than this live scribing/live sketching.

• March 31, 2026
• 193,809 views

It has long been thought that plants do not have the capacity to think because they don't have a brain or a central nervous system. But little is known about plant consciousness, let alone our own consciousness.

In this episode, Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, presents the curious phenomenon of polarity in plants. There is a natural, inherent polarity in plants that is expressed in roots and shoots, but the polarity is present all the way down to the cellular level.

Rupert Sheldrake demonstrates a number of experiments that detail just how bizarre this polarity is. His experiments focus on Auxin, the principal growth hormone in plants, and reveal that polarity has nothing to do with gravity, cell division or age. There is a mysterious influence that acts within plants that pushes auxin in one direction, from the shoots towards the roots. This directionality is even maintained when the plant is grown upside down.

Rupert Sheldrake is a British biologist, author, and researcher born on June 28, 1942 (age 83). He is best known for proposing the groundbreaking theory of morphic resonance (also called morphic fields). He is the author of more than 100 scientific papers and 9 books, and the co-author of 6 books. His books have been published in 28 languages.

This need for more protein among us Boomers & older people I think has manifested in myself in recent times, I visit a local Butcher far more often, a couple of northern Italian brothers who sell the most fantastic of meats sourced from the South West of Western Australia, I feel fortunate/blessed to be able to eat this, I have noticed I now get through 3-4 huge T-bone steaks, Scotch fillet steaks Osso-Bucco (slow cooked with marrow bones retained) some Pork chops, bacon each week- really I am eating at a very moderate level, one main meal per day, usually with some potatoes/broad beans soaked in butter...talk about eating like a King! But yes I notice I crave more protein, I turn 68 this Thursday, while this is available to me I invest in my dinners, I look forward each day to my 'feasts': shameless!

Same here, Mike. I eat a lot of 80/20% Hamburg, free range eggs and butter. There’s an honor system here on the farm where you drop $5 in the coffee can for a dozen eggs. Even when eggs were $16 a dozen at the store, the price stayed the same. Several days a week I’ll have sardines and mackerel for the Omega-3’s & Vitamin D, and cod liver which is a rich natural food source of vitamin A.

I shop early in the day and buy in bulk when the meat is about 30% off. It’s still fresh for couple most days based on the expiration date. I freeze the patties in Shape+Store Burger Freezer Containers. There’s never waste because they go from the freezer to the air fryer. And it’s easy to keep track of fulfilling the protein requirements.

The ONLY 7 Exercises You Need To Build An Athletic Physique (10 minutes)

”I started looking more into performance focus training, and what I learnt shocked me. Your body doesn't recognize specific exercises. It just recognizes movement patterns. And all of the movements you do in the gym fall into one of seven movement patterns.”

Seven-Patterns

When you train the seven movement patterns instead of chest day, glute day, arm day, three things happen:

• You get stronger faster because compound movements load more muscle at once
• You stay injury free because you build a body that knows how to work together as one unit
• You start to enjoy your training

Bone remodeling: When you’re developing muscle you’re also developing bone.

“If someone is consistently strength training, eating well, and recovering properly,
they are usually improving both muscular strength and bone strength at the same time.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you’re developing muscle you’re also developing bone. This is broadly true, but with some nuance. When you build muscle through resistance training, your bones usually adapt too. Muscle contractions place stress on bones, and bones respond by becoming denser and stronger over time. This process is called bone remodeling.

The main idea is often summarized by Wolff’s Law:

• Bone adapts to the mechanical loads placed upon it.

Here’s what happens during strength training:

• Muscles pull on bones during lifts and movement.
• That mechanical stress signals bone-forming cells to increase bone density.
• Weight-bearing and resistance exercises are especially effective for this.

Exercises that tend to help both muscle and bone:

• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Presses
• Jumping/plyometrics
• Carrying heavy loads

A few important caveats:

• Muscle growth and bone growth are not identical processes. You can gain muscle faster than bone density changes.
• Bone adapts more slowly, often over months to years.
• Nutrition matters a lot: protein, calcium, vitamin D, overall energy intake.
• Hormones, age, and genetics strongly affect bone development.

Creepy TRUTH about AI and “old people”.

**Note my video has the includes AI message because I used the ai video I made in this video. It is me talking.

AI is getting so realistic that it’s becoming hard to tell what’s real and what’s not. In this video, I show you how easy it is to create a believable “older person” using AI in just a few minutes. The face isn’t real. The voice isn’t real. The story isn’t real but the emotions feel real, and that’s the danger.

Don’t be afraid of AI, but don’t be fooled by it either. Let’s learn how this stuff works so we can stay aware, stay smart, and stay human.

Don’t Be Fooled: AI Is Pretending to Be Older People (1:48 minutes)

• This post shows how quickly these videos are created.

Many videos online now look like real people… sweet grandmothers, kind older men, friendly faces telling emotional stories. But a lot of them aren’t real at all. They’re created by artificial intelligence in just a few minutes.

In this short video, I’m showing you exactly what that looks like—so you don’t get fooled. AI can be helpful, but it can also be used to manipulate, mislead, and scam people, especially older adults. The more we understand it, the safer we’ll be.

Trust for your Soul’s Evolutions (48 seconds)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anne Tucker: Try to find the authenticity inside of us. One of the many challenges that were facing is learning to turn in and learning to trust our heart. Really embrace trusting ourselves. Trusting our guidance.

The key to our evolution of the soul is to understand that we are all that we need. That everything comes from inside of us.

“According to Edgar Casey, your natural state, the frequency your soul was designed to operate is already whole. It is already elevated. It is already radiating with the divine intelligence that created it. ”

5 Things You Must Give Up Now To Raise
Your Vibration | Edgar Cayce (20 minutes)

• Suggestion: skip the first several minutes. Jump to 3:30.

1) The need to control outcomes

• Stop trying to manipulate or predict everything out of fear.
• Replace control with “active surrender” and trust.

2) Fear-based thinking patterns

• Let go of habitual thoughts rooted in scarcity, anxiety, and self-protection.
• Observe fearful thoughts instead of automatically believing them.

3) Living in the past

• Stop emotionally reliving old pain, betrayal, regret, or failure.
• Return attention to the present moment instead of recreating old wounds.

4) The need for external approval

• Stop basing your worth and decisions on validation from others.
• Reconnect with your own inner guidance and sovereignty.

5) Spiritual performance or pretense

• Stop using spirituality as an identity or image while avoiding real inner work.
• Choose honesty, humility, and genuine transformation instead of “looking spiritual.”

Overall message: raising your vibration is less about adding more spiritual practices and more about releasing the patterns that supposedly keep you stuck.

*********************

What if everything you've been told about raising your vibration is not just wrong but is actually working against you? Think about all the things you've tried: the morning affirmations, the gratitude journals, the sound baths, and the sage and the crystals lined up perfectly on your windowsill. You’ve done the work. You’ve put in the effort and yet something still feels off. Something still feels stuck like no matter how hard you try. You can't quite break free from the frequency you're living at.

Here's what nobody is telling you and what the so-called spiritual marketplace desperately doesn't want you to figure out. Edgar Casey, the man history would come to call the Sleeping Profit, one of the most documented and studied psychics and spiritual teachers in American history, spent decades channeling information about the human soul consciousness, any invisible laws that govern how we experience this life. And what Edgar Casey said about vibration will stop you cold because Casey didn't say you need more practices. He didn't say you need to buy more tools or add more rituals to your morning routine. Edgar Casey said that the reason most people stay trapped in low vibration isn't because they haven't found the right technique yet. It’s because they are holding onto the very things that keep them there.

According to Edgar Casey, your natural state ,the frequency your soul was designed to operate is already whole. It is already elevated. It is already radiating with the divine intelligence that created it. The problem isn't that you need to climb towards something higher. The problem is that you have accumulated layers, patterns, fears, identities illusions that are sitting on top of your natural frequency, like a weight, pressing it down keeping it buried keeping you from living the life.

Your soul came here to lift. Edgar Casey discovered that most people are not stuck because they lack spiritual knowledge. They are stuck because they are unconsciously addicted to the very patterns keeping them low. They have wrapped their entire identity around these patterns. They have built their relationships, their routines, their sense of self around them, and the thought of giving those patterns up truly, completely, permanently giving them up feels more terrifying than staying stuck forever. That is the trap. And today we are going to break it open.

How Hollywood spawned the ban on DIY repair


Betamax video recorders like this one helped set off a chain of events leading to bans on repairing your own devices.

Today's bans on DIY repairs of everything from cell phones to tractors grew out of Hollywood's fear of videotaping

If you have ever tried to repair something, realized that it was beyond your financial or technical means, and ended up buying a new one, you are not alone. Repairing electronics and household appliances has not been a real option in the United States for decades now, particularly for items that have proprietary software in them.
