Unsupported Speculation

I’ve gotten a little bit into Feng Shui ideas. It stems from my beginner notions about how various physical objects can be used as room decorations to remind you about what aspect of your life you are currently prioritizing.

To explain, let’s say you reached some stage of transition in your life, and knew it was time to perform a reassessment, and you decided you were going to emphasize making a little bit more money over romantic relationships. You then COULD redecorate your home so that it both functionally assisted you in making more money, while it also reminded you that you didn’t need to be dating yet until you were ready. The French did the same thing to with Tarot Cards, and they are essentially the same idea of identifying the various human priorities of modern life and making the best use of your limited time while you hustle. Americans, don’t laugh; This is actually being responsible, and not being a sleazy stupid ass.

Anyway, an example Feng Shui idea of what my post is all about. This is not necessarily Feng Shui Canon because I don’t feel like actually checking, but will illustrate the topic of this post:

Lets say you wanted to make your desk where you work more efficient for productivity. You read a book about Feng Shui, and hire a consultant, and both recommend having your desk face a wall, with an open window on the right, and flowing water from a nearby stream on the left. Not facing the window minimizes distractions while you look down at your work on the desk, and the gurgling stream provides nice ambience which isn’t loud enough that it interferes with your thoughts. You can also take brief breaks from your work to look out the window or drink some coffee while looking at the stream. Sounds nice, huh?

But in this example, there is something else going on that literally enhances productivity in your work because of how the brain itself operates. It has to do with how fast you can think, not to mention how clear thinking is really obtained. To jump right to the answer before I explain:

The open window allows a mix of positively and negatively charged electrons in through the window, through your office, and then down into the negatively charged stream. This itself both increases the speed that your brain performs cycles between the right and left hemispheres, while also giving you clear thought because the entirely of your brain is topped up with sufficient positive and negative charges to be able to complete thoughts without effort.

When you consider charges in your living and working spaces, and actually design according to the charge conditions of the environment, then you can create workspaces which actually increase your efficiency, not only by mildly increasing the number of cycles your brain performs a second and making thoughts clearer, but by also giving you a mild form of ‘Time Dilation’. This is when your sense of time seems to be the same, but to other people you are actually working abnormally faster than other people NOT in time dilation. This is because our neurological regulation of the passage of time is basically dictated directly by how many cycles our brain performs a second, and thus to others, someone in time dilation will seem to be somewhat in fast-forwards, while they themselves won’t notice anything has changed.

This is because the brain actually runs like an electrical circuit connected to a battery, and the speed our brain performs full cycles is not only influenced by its basic speed, but also the charge status of the environment, and so if charge is uneven on one side of our head vs. the other; i.e. One side of our head is towards flowing water, it increases the number of cycles the brain can perform a second.

I discovered this by accident some time after I bought a negative ion generator for my house. Initially I bought it in order to get through some major stress in my life, and giving my house a negative charge did brilliantly to keep me out of neurological positive charge blues. Very briefly and simply, the brain has most of the cognition of rest in its negatively charge brain matter on the right side, while the cognition of problems is in the positively charged brain matter on the left side, thus saturating my home with negative charge made me feel great.

But a weird problem occurred when I moved the ion generator out of my bedroom and into the adjacent living room. Unfortunately, the living room is at an angle from my bedroom. In my bedroom, my armchair faced one way, while the way I was oriented on my bed faced another. This created something that took a long time to understand, and it was that whenever I reversed direction by switching between the chair to bed or vice versa, my brain slowed down and then reversed the direction it was cycling between the left and the right hemispheres. There is no difference to thought whatsoever, but it is weird, and uses up time waiting for the process to end.

Eventually I noticed that the charge really was being drawn through my room at an angle and into the living room due to my home layout, and sussed out what the problem was. I changed what end of the bed the pillows were on and slept at an angle like an idiot, increasing how much stretch out space I had on my FULL sized mattress. This is because since charge was pulled through my bedroom at an angle, while it happened to not conflict with how my chair was arranged in the room, when I got up from the chair and tried to lay in bed, it made my thoughts slow and muddy due to my orientation in my room and where the negative ion generator was in the living room. After the change, I noticed that my thoughts were not only clearer, but that the speed I could finish some sort of contemplation was whirring, and then began forming the idea of a ‘Speed Room’.

I have a little desk area in my bedroom for reading out of textbooks and pursuing weird niche math interests. Adjacent to my bedroom is another unused bedroom, and so what if I placed the ion generator in that spare bedroom instead since it was directly next to my bedroom, and arranged my bed, armchair, and small desk to take advantage of this speed increase I noticed? I did, and once there was no longer a weird draw of charge through the room at an angle, it was no longer very important what end of the bed my head was on. Everything was also arranged so that when in bed, I was squarely aligned with the adjacent negatively charged spare bedroom, and laying in bed to finish some sort of important thought became my preferred way of completing it quickly while reclined.

The advantage of such a configuration for study is obvious, but for health it is less obvious. I’m not really talking about physiological health, but instead self-knowledge and inner-learning and various other things. I know it sounds sacrilegious, but these matters themselves are also bound to the speed that the brain can cycle between the left and the right hemispheres. To put it another way, the angels will be sluggish unless you get your charge environment correct. The accidental discovery I made once I created my first speed room is that I could get through various inner-world, psychological learning and change bullsh*t BLAZINGLY fast. Yeah, that kind of stuff was basically done and over with and out of the way, and I could get up almost immediately after I laid down and fix a cup of coffee. It entirely replaced a previous method I was using for a little self-learning, because the speed room so vastly outclassed the old way that it was like giving a spaceship to a sea mariner.

There are important things to consider about a speed room. The first and most important is that you don’t want the draw of charge though your room to be too fast. The human brain is made of squishy organic stuff, and you can only blaze though cycles so fast. Now, don’t get me wrong, the human brain is FAST, but remember that it’s made of meat-stuff, and don’t go overboard with how much of an uneven charge you create to the side of your head. To be a little more to the point, my negative ion generator is actually an industrial air scrubber. If you get one too, don’t turn that damn thing up all the way first thing right out of the box.

Another is that you can’t stay in increased speed indefinitely. This is because communication through nerves and neurons is accomplished with brain chemicals. These brain chemicals deplete every time a signal is passed through that neuron. After using a speed room for a session, you will feel tired. RESPECT IT. It is literally the exact equivalent of performing a sh*t-ton of brain cycles, but in significantly less time, because each cycle uses up something like the same amount of brain chemicals every time a single single passed through a single neuron. This means that if you use the speed room for something exactly like or similar to a cramming session, you will need to rest and gorge on a lot of high calorie and nutritious food before you are recovered to use the speed room again. This will allow depleted brain chemicals to re-synthesize themselves naturally in the brain, and then you’ll be ready for another go.

Another ridiculous but nevertheless possible consideration of the use of a speed room is that when you use it at higher speeds, and increasing the number of cycles your brain completes gives you a more and more apparent case of time dilation to others. You will have to figure out what sorts of gadgets and psychological-self-moderation techniques help you reliably dial down your brain speed to one more acceptable to the civilian public. The brain and body isn’t necessarily bound to the number of cycles the brain completes a second vs. perception of time, because being around other people thinking and moving at normal speeds will make you automatically adjust and compensate by using their apparent speed as a standard, but you are still apt to do sh*t at such a ridiculous speed out of nowhere it could negatively effect your relationships and give other people mild freakouts. Thus, after using a speed room at a higher speed, you need to turn yourself down.

1 . Turn down or off the ion generator. Allow the negative saturation of your spaces to drain slowly down through the floor and into the ground and for the energy state to return to a natural one.

2 . Use a clock with an indicator for seconds, and just watch it, and let the ‘Celestial Forces’ get themselves shifted into a lower, more socially acceptable gear.

3 . Use a metronome to do the same, and both watch it and listen to it, which will provide both a sight and sound indication of the passage of time.

DUE NOTE: Time dilation is weird. It IS a real thing, but you can’t tell you are in time dilation when you are in it. THAT is the weird thing: Your experience of a single second will seem the same, and even clocks will show the second indicator changing or moving at what seems to be a normal speed, even though you will actually experience, for example, five seconds for every normal real second. This is because the human brain hides time dilation from itself in order to not cause instability due to witnessing the surreal. With experience with time dilation, you will eventually see things which prove you are in it, and you will be familiar enough with the effects that it won’t make you freak out, but it takes many sessions before you reach that stage.

This is why using second indicators and sight and sound metronomes will NOT actually show you seconds passing in slow motion, most of the time, at least. Instead you just have to use these tools, and let your brain correct its own measure of time itself until you ‘KNOW’ it is completed. You won’t be able to see the evidence of time dilation necessarily, but you will be able to feel your brain shifting itself down into a lower gear with slower cycles.
