 Consciousness out of Chaos

 Harking back to our conversations of symmetry and asymmetry, I think the dichotomy of chaos and consciousness is similar.  Consciousness is to symmetry as chaos is to asymmetry.

    Your observation about consciousness being to symmetry as chaos is to asymmetry is right on, memorable and precise. A symmetrical flow of consciousness is an aspiration I can definitely get behind. When conscience is added to consciousness, the potential for an ideal symmetry is even better.

Bio

I guess the family business is medicine.  My dad and my sister are doctors.  My mother has her nursing degree (my folks met while teaching a sex education course, go figure).  My grandmother was a WWII army nurse.  My great grandmother was a traditional folk healer.   In any case, I started practicing herbal medicine about twenty years ago.  My focus has mostly been western folk and hermetic traditions, but I had been introduced to a decent amount of TCM, Ayurveda, and other indigenous healing systems as well.  So, being an unabashedly devoted plant person, last year was my time to take the plunge and apply to the MSTCM program, and now I'm in my third trimester.

Intentions

This semester I'm taking classes in Physics and Chemistry, so my posts will adhere (or try to at least) to both lenses.  I have a particular interest in Pao Zhi and Chinese Alchemy , so I'm most likely going to segue into those topics frequently.  I'll also be branching out into concepts of Biomimicry , how the concept relates to the above-mentioned sciences (as they are presented throughout the courses), and how it might inform aspects of CM and other healing modalities.

Class Discussion: "From bionics to brain chips, hacking humanity has never been more ethically fraught"  I tried to research a bit deeper into the Belgian company Orionis Biosciences.  Unfortunately, their website is down.  My understanding is that the company is focusing on drug design at the genomic scale, especially for autoimmune-related cancers.  The statement from Sabatini that "the immune system is one of the most advanced and evolved weapons that we know today" particularly interested me - sort of a loaded statement, excuse the pun.  The company is based on monetizing tech developed by Prof. Jan Tavernier of Ghent University and the Cytokine Receptor Lab he established there.  Cytokines are likened to 'software' that run the immune system, which is why the company was included in the 'bionic hacking' article.  I thought the line between gene therapy and nanowarfare was particularly apt here. Cytokines [from  Worldofmolecules.com ]...
