You might be benefited in reading more in regards to what constitutes an ecosystem. Also, there is no such thing as neuropsychology. There is neurobiology and/or plain neurology. Psychology is just a redundant, interpetative semi-pseudo science.
Second. Some kinds of food might benefit the body in one way and some others in another way. If you burry an apple like you said, a seed will grow but even if you burry a burger, maggots are still going to come out. Everything decomposes and serves as food for another form of life.
We are part of an ecosystem. Life exists because of death. We live because some other life has to die. We will die so some other life can exist. Our very bodies are composed out of hundreds of thousands of micro-organisms and bacteria that regulate our behaviour. There is so such thing as free will. How we react in regards to thirst, hunger, hormones, neurotransmitters and everything in between is an act of those organisms that try to survive by fighting or co-existing with one anothr.
Our bodies are an ecosystem and just like something can go wrong out of luck outside in nature, same applies for our bodies. Burgers are not necessarily bad. Eating just burgers, or just plants though can disturb the balance in our bodies.
“You are what you eat”, I think it’s actual to say: “You’ are what you think, feel and do”
No you are not what you eat. You are what you can absorb and digest. Everyone is different. This is why evolution functions based on RNA and thereafter DNA genetic transmutations for each organism.
Also, just because you can't digest everything it doesn't mean it is waste. For example seeds are not digested because plants have evolved to pass the seeds untouched through our gastrointestinal tract in order for us to export them and allow them to grow in our own waste. Nature is brilliant in these matters. We are part of life. No need to distinguish between "bad" and "good" things coming out of us.
Thousands of children die everyday from hunger. Whatever the "feeling" or "thought" one has won't change their fate. This is a form of dellusional thinking reserved for us westerners that pretty much have the basics of life. It is an insult to those been born in terrible circumstances. Wisful thinking can only travel so far.
You talk about parasites. All life form is more or less parasitic to something else on this planet. We live of the planet destroying and rejuvenating it in our own way.
You turned my meaning from head to feet!
Yes, you judge logically and correctly, but the purpose of my post is not about "harmony", but about specific people and opportunities to improve their lives
To sit with the parasites in the body and say what they are part of the ecosystem that you propose to do?
I was talking about something else, and your comment inappropriate
And to argue about consciousness, too silly, read modern discoveries in the same quantum physics, consciousness creates reality
I thank you for your opinion, for your position
But unfortunately, you led the conversation in a completely different direction that has nothing to do with the topic of discussion
And to talk about the ecosystem and the role of consciousness in life, I suggest elsewhere, there's a science and a practice, not theoretical war
You can't possibly know @njall what is best for another person, from another culture, another diet.
They are part of us. Read more about parasites. http://www.scientificamerican.com/slideshow/worms-human-parasites/
Recent discoveries say nothing about consiousness. You can't possibly combine quantum physics and something about the brain and make arbitary connections. I am aware of the "Deepak Chopra" jargon sophistry. Consiousness is an empty word. Nobody can define it and under specific parametres all life has it. it is pointless to even mention it. It is not something "magical" but the result of firing neurons. nothing else.
Please refer me to your references about "consiousness" and ecosystems. I am quite curious what you will come up with.
@kyriacos. Conciousness is what information feels like as its being process by a sufficiently complex system.
Phi is a measure of the degree to which the components of a system are aware of one another and thus it is a quantifiable measure for consciousness.
Otherwise im totally with you. The level of made up bs being passed around this forum cuz "quantum" is the new black magic, is just ridiculous.
My advice, the minute someone mentions quantum anything without pointing to the specific paper where the phenomina is explained. We flag them.
Thank you for your opinion about the influence of consciousness on life, I will do the following (or through one) post, I hope you will keep records and rate it
I understand that your opinion is based on your life experiences, etc., I respect that, but there is always the opportunity for the development of at least my opinion is based on my experiences and the experiences of many other scientists, I write it and I will be glad if you put yourself in my place.
I understand the ecology and parasites as part of the ecology, but the post originally was about something else, so I see no reason to extend one to the other, get porridge
