Emanation:Creation::Buddhism:Monotheism - The Problem of Suffering

Notes from video:

On Metanoia and Theosis

Letting go (one-sided, does not mutually acknowledge transgression) vs. Forgiveness (two-sided, includes mutual acknowledgement of transgression before letting it go)

Emanation (dualistic emergence of multiplicity from the One) vs Creation (tripartite emergence of multiplicity from the One... trinity adds will/ to the dualism).  

Why in Buddhism suffering is caused by a moving away from the One and the solution is to return to the One and thereby reduce suffering (Unity w/o Multiplicity)(Destroying Multiplicity and Dissolving into the One) 

... whereas the purpose of orthodox theosis is to be reunited with the Creation (suffering already born within Creation)(Achieve Unity by embracing Multiplicity and embracing your distinctiveness and suffering within it).

Hegelian negation into unity (thesis:antithesis::synthesis) vs Deleuzian transcendence on a plane of emanence. 

Negation of the negation vs (dance - giving reason for the multiplicity)(Jesus on the cross: where absolute Unity and Absolute Multiplicity meet...Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani!) Jesus embraces the created suffering and takes it back upon Himself.

Nostalgia, Comrades!

Immortality! ...but w/o continuity of consciousness? Who cares?

From Google AI:

A bio-electric blueprint refers to the electrical signals and patterns that guide cell behavior, development, and regeneration, acting as an organizational layer separate from DNA. This concept suggests that cells use these "electrics blueprints" to communicate and coordinate, ensuring the correct formation of anatomical structures like a head or other features. Research in this area is exploring how these bio-electric signals can be decoded and even manipulated for applications in medicine, such as wound healing and regenerative medicine. 

Key aspects of the bio-electric blueprint:

Cellular communication: All cells, not just nerve cells, use electrical signals to communicate, forming a "software" that runs on the cell's "hardware" (the genome).

Development and pattern formation: Bio-electric patterns dictate how an organism develops, coordinating the placement of organs and features. For example, the specific electrical pattern of a flatworm can be manipulated to create a two-headed worm, and this pattern memory is maintained by the tissue.

Regeneration and healing: This blueprint is also thought to be involved in regeneration and wound healing, as cells use electrical signals to organize and rebuild tissue.

Beyond genetics: It proposes a system of non-genetic information storage that holds "pattern memories" and provides a blueprint for building the body, which is a separate but interconnected process from DNA.

Biomedical applications: Understanding and decoding this bio-electric "electrome" could lead to new treatments for birth defects, and tools for tissue engineering and regeneration.

AI Overview

Ergot poisoning symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain; gangrenous symptoms like cold, pale, and painful extremities that may lead to tissue death; and convulsive symptoms such as muscle spasms, twitching, hallucinations, and confusion. Symptoms can manifest within an hour and worsen with continued exposure.

• Early and gastrointestinal symptoms
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
• Abdominal pain and cramping
• Headache
• Weakness and exhaustion
• Excessive thirst or salivation

Gangrenous symptoms (due to blood vessel constriction)

• Numbness, tingling, and itching in the extremities
• Cold and pale skin, particularly in the hands and feet
• Weak or absent peripheral pulses
• Intense burning pain
• Loss of sensation
• Pustules or swelling of the limbs
• Dry gangrene, which can lead to the loss of fingers, toes, or limbs

Convulsive symptoms (central nervous system effects)

• Muscle spasms, twitching, or painful contractions
• Confusion, delirium, or psychosis
• Hallucinations
• Convulsions or seizures
• Drowsiness
• Vision problems
