Unsupported Speculation

---

This unusual post will be a mishmash of observations about the traditional dances of Asia and Southeast Asia, and the peculiar things that happen when a culture’s traditional spiritual and religious systems allow for the possibility of some control over the electrical phases (i.e. negative or positive switching) of one or more small parts of the human brain.

To begin with, very generally, the human brain evolved so that the right hemisphere of the brain is negatively charged, and the left hemisphere of the brain is positively charged. It is THIS that actually determines the speed that we can think, because like an electrical circuit with a battery, we can complete more cycles through the brain with a stronger negative or positive charge. You can imagine this to be like a magical spell book from the Harry Potter world, and the more power this spell book has, the faster it can flip through its own pages by itself.

The partial reason we evolved for the right hemisphere to be negatively charged is because the Earth (our planet) itself is negatively charged, and this pulls down positive electrons from the atmosphere and down through the surface of the planet. Since the planet has more material substance than the atmosphere, negative charge wins, and thus the Earth is negatively charged.

But to go on further, as human beings who evolved from higher apes and them from mammals, our human brains evolved to take advantage of the natural negative charge of the ground we walk on in order to regulate aggression. You see, most human aggression is located in the LEFT Hemisphere where positive charge normally resides. And so by having most of our peaceful nature located in the Right Hemisphere where negative charge is, any instance of necessary aggression will naturally subside once it is no longer necessary for our survival simply by having the superior positive charge brain drained by the negative charge of the planet itself in order to switch us back into peaceful and negatively charged thinking.

You see, it is a problem of stable feedback cycles that can occur in the brain which we have not yet evolved a way to break from entirely on our own. Instead, human brains evolved to exploit the negative ground of the Earth in order to pull us out of a stable aggressive cycle once a life-or-death crisis is over.

Going further about inner-brain charges, it gets more complicated, because neither the left or the right hemispheres of the human brain are uniformly charged as either entirely positive or negative. Instead, for a simple example in the case of a single nerve in the brain reaching a neuron and then branching out into two additional nerves, one of those two nerves will have to be positive and the other negative.

Much of the stuff that coordinates how we move and what we feel is passed through a part of the brain called the Cerebellum. The cerebellum is kind of like an enormously complicated telephone switchboard operator, and it performs no cognition itself, but only routes information through it from the brain and into the body in order to create accurately performed and experienced movements and sensations. But IF a single small phase reversal occurs in a part of the brain (i.e. such as a single fork of a neuron switching positive and negative), then this will cascade from that phase reversal further into the brain and eventually pass through the cerebellum, and create a ‘Glitch’ in how we experience ourselves. And this is where we reach Asian Dances.

ONE kind of glitch is for the position and arrangement of your arms to have ‘Duel Location’. In other words, if some places in the brain have their phases switched, then you will experience having FOUR ARMS, two of which are real, while the other two behave in similar but unexpected ways in relation to your real two arms, such as an illusory one feeling like it is on the opposite side of the body, up when it should be down, and arranged similarly but not quite the same when compared to the real arrangement of the arm it has a relationship to. This is all due to a phase shift in the brain that causes a miscommunication of information through the cerebellum which gives you the illusory experience of a distorted second arm for each of your real arms.

In addition, when you don’t seem to have two additional relatively solid fake arms, there are ways you can cause your real arms to create vague multi-position duplicates in other arrangements on the body. This is partially from not arranging one of your real arms in a place and way that creates a solid hallucinated form of an arm in a single place elsewhere, due to this type of phase shift creating the glitch as it passes through the cerebellum, and the odd pathway rules that have to be followed when phases are misaligned. It it also partially due to a kind of ‘Cognitive Effort’ passing through the cerebellum as well, in addition to a working phase switch that will create small or large fans of indistinct arms. This creates opportunities for more than four arm experiences, as well as Thousand-Arm Buddhas.

On a tangent, it is this phase shifting and the cascade that occurs when a phase is switched that is being referred to in Western Spirituality by the Jacob’s Ladder toy. A phase shift in a single neuron in the brain has the potential to create a chain reaction of successive phase shifts outwards from the initial one, and THEN it will likely begin again once it seems completed due to the smallest imbalance of charge that occurs in both hemisphere of the brain. Once one of these cascades beings, it will continue until both hemispheres of the brain are equal enough in negative and positive charge that the cycling ends.

It is ATTRACTIVE to Western Spirituality because of the promise of at least temporary spiritual perfection, because some human spiritual ills are actually caused by phase shifts in the brain, and if discovered and reversed, then you free yourself from those spiritual ills. But, dorking around with phase shifts, while not actually dangerous, can plague one with all sorts of minor troubles and doubts. One of them is the illusion of spiritual mastery, because you can SEEM to have reached the successful end of a Jacob’s Ladder chain reaction, and you believe you have accomplished being completely free from spiritual imperfection, but then an imbalance of charge between the two hemispheres will begin the cycle all over again and pull you down from your brief entry into paradise. Another is actually temporarily giving yourself more spiritual trouble than you began with because of failing to reach the end of a Jacob’s Ladder cascade, and you are left with more incorrectly phased flips than you started with, and thus more spiritual ills. Ouch.

The Jacob’s Ladder of Christian tradition is precisely the same as Kundalini Yoga from India, as well as the double-serpent staff Caduceus symbol of healthcare. The inner-joke of the Jacob’s Ladder is perhaps that the emphasis is downwards rather than upwards, and that you never, however much you try, manage to achieve SEVEN blocks.

But getting back to traditional dance, when this type of phase shift occurs in the brain, then weird duel location also applies to other parts of your body as well, and to lean left is to lean right, as well as other bizarre flip-flops that occur. As you have probably already guessed, this explains the multi-armed deities of Hinduism.

It is also interesting to note that because of the countless neurons that are in the human brain that can have their phases flipped, you might think that only certain phase shifts create the same kind of duel location multiple arm experiences, while others create different duel location experiences, but it seems to me that the case really is that when a phase flip occurs anywhere in the brain that eventually passes through the cerebellum in the pathways concerning our ‘Body Location Sense’, then the way one real arm will influence the behavior of the illusory arm is basically the same, and thus why it is one of the things studied by dancers.

The regions of the world which developed the Traditional Asian Dances I am referring to are Many MANY thousands of years old, and some of their forms of dance in China, Southern Asia, and Southeast Asia are based on a careful study of this duel location of parts of the body stemming from a phase shift in the brain. In other words, they make the dance as accurate as possible through experimentation with dual location so that the arrangement of one of the dancer’s arms will accurately dictate and portray the distortion that occurs with a phase shift with the arrangement of the opposite arm.

All of it IS accurate, and some traditional dance arrangements you can watch from those regions of the world even will show LOTS of dancers who stand in a line in order to simulate the duel location of as many parts of the body as possible, head to foot.

But, that is NOT the only way dance is performed in Asia, and another kind of dance form is based on Brain Resonance between the Left and Right Temporal and Parietal Regions of the brain through the Temporalparietal Junctions. Brain Resonance is when the various frequencies of two or more parts of the brain align to match each other. They do not have to perfectly match, and weaker forms of brain resonance occur on harmonics of frequencies instead.

When brain resonance is established, then communication efficiency is maximized between two or more parts of the brain. When it comes to the temporalparietal junctions, if they establish brain resonance, since those parts of the brain within the left and right temporals have direct connections to the left and right parietals, then coordination of the left and right sides of the body is maximized.

The temporalparietal junction brain resonance is something that occurs naturally in a life-or-death crisis. The temporalparietal junctions themselves are actually parts of the brain that literally ‘Stay Awake’ while we sleep in order to stay alert and listen for predators. If a threat is sensed, then brain resonance between the two junctions will begin forming, and if a threat actually manifests, someone will be capable of more bodily coordination in order to survive the threat than they are usually capable of in ordinary life.

But to continue, brain resonance between the two junctions creates a kind of ‘Survival Movement’ that has RULES. There is a crisscross that occurs between the left and right sides of the body which weirdly has survival advantages, especially when applied to physical confrontations with other human beings. For a small example, because the opposite side of the body is influenced strongly but not irresistibly by how the other side of the body moves, arms and legs are always strangely where they need to be to both defend you from attacks as well as attack another human physically assaulting you. When in a physical confrontation and in a temporalparietal junction brain resonance, you will temporarily move like a twisted monster from a horror movie, and as I wrote previously, the WAY this kind of survival mode of a human being moves is bizarrely superior over other people NOT in this particular brain resonance.

How this is related to some forms of Asian dance is that these cultures have studied NOT breaking the rules of a temporalparietal junction brain resonance. An arm moved on one side of the body will make the other arm naturally want to belong somewhere else in a twisted mirror on the opposite side. It isn’t always a mirror-like perfect reflection on the other side, and instead it seems to have evolved to guard against wounds to wrists and other vulnerable areas of the body, while also naturally setting yourself up for defending yourself against blows as well as attacks performed by you as well. And thus, these types of dance styles conducted a study of ensuring that the placement of any part of the body is not violated by the arrangement on the opposite side.

Something to add is that when this type of dance is performed in India, then it is perhaps not the most attractive kind of dance to watch unless you understand the esoterics of what is going on. These types of dances are accomplished with strong brain resonance of the various frequencies that the brain itself uses in order to communicate information across both hemispheres. Something you may see when this type of dance is performed by an Indian dancer is them forming the ‘Namaste’ hands, palms together, and pointed upwards. Because a junction brain resonance creates rules about how the opposite side of the body feels most naturally arranged, ironically this makes Namaste hands a violation of how the opposite side of the body should be, BUT this violation increases the frequency matching across both hemispheres, strengthening the brain resonance. This is why this type of dance form is the strongest and most stable of the kinds of dances. It may not be pretty to watch, but you are viewing a dance created from what evolved to be a life-or-death survival mode of a human being, which maximized coordination and strength. It is something carried over from the High Apes we branched off from, and such a person in a junction brain resonance and under threat is as bland-faced as an ape while being able to swing you over their head by your arm just as easily.

Whereas the type of illusory experiences that occur with a phase shift flip-flop has more ‘Freedom’; i.e. You can move any way you wish and more gracefully, this is not the case with a temporalparietal brain resonance, and while you can still break the rules and move how you want, the arrangement your body naturally wants to assume achieves defensive and offensive forms simultaneously, making you one strong and squirrelly sonofabich to beat in a fight, at least when not warring with alien races.

Lastly in closing, a small observation. Within Hinduism, there are various stories about how the female deity Kali became enraged at a particular demon that had the ability to divide into two whenever it was killed. Kali flew into a full bloodlust and continued slaying this demon again and again, but it continued to divide into two until the sheer numbers of these demons threatened to destroy the universe. In some writings, the male deity Shiva then intervened to stop Kali and stop the cycle. When Kali is portrayed in Hindu religious art while in the midst of slaying these demons, it shows her with multiple arms extended, and her tongue is stuck out and down and blood red.

Now it is supposedly lost to history what the original meaning of the stuck out tongue was, because thousands of years ago when this detail was created, those writings seem to be lost now and no one is alive that remembers. But I have a theory that it is based on how the champions of ancient warfare fought, and that by showing a surprise scary face, this would cause their opponent on the battlefield to experience a brief and frightening visual hallucination.

To understand how it works, you have to understand that what we see is NOT necessarily what is really out there in the world, and instead what we see is an interpretation of the information from the eye receptors by the occipital regions of the brain that creates what we see. If you are in the middle of a battle and concerned with staying alive in that dangerous environment, if an enemy flashed you a surprise scary face, your occipitals might be tricked that they are not processing the information from the eye receptors correctly, and then in a panic you will see a highly distorted and scary hallucinated monster face. This may be partially evolved in order to cause you to overcompensate in your defense of yourself if your eyes begin failing you due to your occipitals misprocessing information, and so in prehistory, by hallucinating an even scarier monster sabertooth tiger probably allowed us to clobber it easier, but when dealing with warrior champions, it allowed them to slay others more easily.

It was these types of tricks that many repeat survivors of ancient warfare learned, and as survivors they became champions of the forces they fought for. Many of them believed that as champions, to utilize tricks like these sorted out who had the superior psychic warfare system from others, and thus if one of their enemies couldn’t successfully defeat a hallucinated face, then he deserved to be slain, while if a champion found another champion on the battlefield, then combat was evenly matched and honorable.

This kind of thing survives today in the form of war masks, face paint, face armor, as well as even the clown wigs and makeup of the War on Terror in Iraq. To see the unexpected when threatened with the prospect of dying causes outrageous and terrifying hallucinations, and this tactic continues to the discovered and rediscovered again and again to this day.
