Introduction
MY ELBERT: EVERYONE LEARNS BETTER EMBRACING REVOLUTIONARY TEACHING IS The first Specialized Online Coaching Curriculum. I’ve spent the last 25 years perfecting an alternative, holistic approach to correcting learning differences, including, but not limited to, Dyslexia and Neurodevelopmental differences (view the “why” behind My Elbert below …view program HERE).
After twenty-five years of being in education, I provide tutoring, consulting, and coaching on dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental differences. Over the last 15 years, I’ve observed an increasing amount of affective, behavioral, sensorial, cognitive, physical, mental, and spiritual difficulties and differences due to learning with trauma along with an increased number of children being medicated, misdiagnosed, or going undiagnosed; Therefore, I have developed a neuropedagogy that includes my observations and evaluations that looks at the “whole person” using empirical science, my neurodivergent thinking, and holistic wisdom. Where learning is concerned, the “whole person” is important because people are different and so many learn and think differently. My neuropedgogy allows neuroscience, psychology, psychopathology, holism, Evangelical theology, and education to come into an authentic practice. It really looks at how we all process information differently in space and interconnected time; in brief, we are all wired with dissimilarity for which each neural pathway is connected differently to process the same information that we all can receive. My current practice is a holistic approach to discovery of inner-being, spiritual-growth, and aims to learn how to stimulate new zones of the brain, and increase self-directed neuroplasticity, and create connections (neuropathways) for learning to be successful. Furthermore, it is targeted at naturally stimulating the brains of all types of learners, not only those with students who have learning disabilities.
The Problem: We are seeing children/adults digress with gulf-sized disconnect and low self-esteem. Each child/adult is multidimensional and ALL our systems and senses need to function equalized, activated, and balanced for learning to take place. The triune brain which is the neomammalian complex (RAS- aka neocortex), midbrain (pons- aka limbic system), and forebrain (thymus aka reptilian) is working on a downward function, which makes learning and thinking chaotic in the mind. People are using their mental and emotional bodies to learn, not their etherical body (etheric).
The Solution: When using the etherical body, ALL our faculties, systems, and senses will function equalized, activated, and balanced. The triune brain needs to be working in an upward function (no longer perform in a protective function). With a functional upward system, the child [or adult] can trust themselves and their gifts and learning uniquenesses through spiritual mindset with self-directed neuroplasticity through ABC’s and atonement meaning God awareness (eventually unity) through PYAM Daily. They’re offered the freedom arising from conditions within the brain, senses, or sense organs and not directly caused not by external stimuli but the knowing with-in themselves which is patience for understanding and trusting in their subjective, divergent mind.
Yes, I do believe the disconnect for students, families, and schools. It’s in the Spiritual Development…
The disconnect happens in these domains: (intellectual)- what is right, (moral) what is good, and (imaginative) His Divine Will for us in design, plan, and purpose! Affirmation (Blessing of Thanksgiving, heart): Do not be conformed to this world ([modern],this age) [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable [right, moral] and perfect Will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. Romans 12:2 AMPC
What is a Subjective Mind? Subjective mind, which wants to comprehend the world by self realization, consciousness and is open to different interpretations of same objects viewed through different lenses. [Retrieved from https://medium.com/all-things-philosophical/subjective-and-objective-63465fa88fd4].
The cerebral cortex is thought to be the seat of conscious processing in the brain. Rather than being inactivated, specific cells in the cortex show higher spontaneous activity during general anesthesia than when awake, and this activity is synchronized across those cortical cells. [Retrieved from https://neurosciencenews.com/unconscious-brain-activity-20571/].
What Is Conscience? Billy Graham’s Daily Devotion, Nov 09, 2021 Having a good conscience . . . –1 Peter 3:16 God has put within each one of us something that cries aloud against us, whenever we do that which we know to be wrong. Conscience is the detective that watches the direction of our steps and decries every conscious transgression. Conscience is the built-in power of our minds to pass moral judgments on ourselves, approving or disapproving our feelings, actions, thoughts, and plans, and telling us, if what we have done is assessed as wrong, that we deserve to suffer for it. Conscience has in it two elements: an awareness of certain things as being right or wrong, and an ability to apply laws and rules to specific situations. Conscience insists on judging us, and insist on judging us by the highest standard we know. So we sometimes call it God’s voice in the soul, and in a sense it is. Retrieved from https://sway.office.com/6BhnVi2YHh09O1v8.
What is Conscience/Righteousness- Intellectual-Moral aka “The Perfect” (Pure Heart)? The moral feeling, by which we mean a sense of the difference between right and wrong, would seem to be a part of the native furnishing of the mind. Conscience is a vigilant eye before which each imagination, thought, and act, is held up for either censure or approval. I believe there is no greater argument for the existence of God in the world today than conscience. There is no greater proof of the existence of a moral law and Lawgiver in the universe than this little light of the soul. It is God’s voice to the inner man. Conscience is our wisest counselor and teacher, our most faithful and most patient friend. [Retrieved from https://www.internationalstandardbible.com/R/righteousness.html].
What is Self Realization/Blamelessness- Imaginative-Moral aka “The Simple” (Clean Mind)? How can we achieve this state of Being for ourselves? Self Realization is a term that is becoming increasingly more widely used. In many ways it is an obscure term, and its meaning is not immediately apparent. For many it is a term that means the same as ‘Enlightenment’ – a word which is similarly something difficult to determine. However, the term ‘Self Realization’ is more useful as it actually refers to a very specific stage in the journey of awakening that Ramana Maharshi and others described.

According to Erik Erikson, during the first years of school, every child must resolve the conflicts between a positive self-image and feelings of inferiority. If children succeed in school, they will develop positive feelings about themselves and believe that they can succeed in life [Retrieved from http://www.ldonline.org/article/19296/].
Likewise, this study aims to investigate the emotional perspective of having Dyslexia, a specific learning difficulty that not only affects literacy but many aspects of an individual’s life, from childhood into adulthood [Retrieved from https://www.researchgate.net/publication/290213848_Dyslexia_Investigating_Self Harm_and_Suicidal_ThoughtsAttempts_as_a_Coping_Strategy].
What is neurodiversity?
People with dyslexia and other forms of neurodiversity have sound and language processing problems. They will struggle to connect letters to sounds and, mainly difficulties identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words; as well, those with visual processing difficulties struggle to understand visual information such as letters, shapes, or objects and problems processing the graphic symbols (mainly, problems with convergence). Other difficulties related to the absorption and processing of sounds [sounds especially can be omitted from words by the student], students with dyslexia most commonly omit letter sounds, words, phrases in the middle position, then the end, and least commonly the beginning. When they omit, they might do sound confusions such as repetition(s), substitution(s), addition(s) or delete altogether, on the other hand; transversal(s) and reversal(s) are more common in students with a visual processing difficulties. P.S. I suggest -have them remember: if it doesn’t look or sound right reread or rewrite till your brain feels like “it’s just right” [trust your brain-you are smart, you can do it, and you are love]. Ask me how I can help you by tutoring, coaching, consulting and/or training!
What is neurodivergency?
I consult to help others discover their own/someone else’s learning uniquenesses, interest, and how to use their gifts and strengths. Those with a neurodifference usually have a neurodivergency; meaning, they often have intuitive and insightful, well-developed social awareness and emotions while possessing a lexicon of words to help with the synonymous “why’s of dyslexia”. They also have deep and holistic, list-form type thinking including: problem-solving and building/constructing abilities, competitive drive, computer skills, and gaming strategies. They seek their own endeavors of creative, imaginative, visual, artistic, and visionary skills while taking on inventing and innovating pursuits. I can also tell you that they may excel at thinking of “outside the box” solutions, seeing a problem from many sides, and patterns/spatial relationships along with the ability to think in 3 dimensions-using our strong evaluation skills and imagination (capable of observing patterns of: color, shape, size, dimension, rhythm, meter, tone, and chant). They have an innate ability for caring for people, animals, and nature [Note: sometimes due to circumstances they go against their own nature in this respect]. Lastly, I prepare students with unique learning and neurodifferences to connect to the world with enrichment classes through my program MY ELBERT.
What is neruopedagogy?
My current practice is a holistic, alternative approach to being and aims to learn how to stimulate new zones of the brain, and increase self-directed neuroplasticity, and create connections (neuropathways) for learning to be successful. Furthermore, it is targeted at naturally stimulating the brains of all types of learners, not only those with students who have learning differences. You need to know that my neuropedagogy is based on the following: my own inductive reasoning, logic of evaluation, outside-of-the box type problem-solving skills, detective sense contributed to my own gift of neurodivergency, gift of knowledge and wisdom (discernment), countless hours of student observations (Montessori), (w)holism, neuroscientific, neuropsychology, educational research (Orton-Gillingham and “Science of Reading”), and spiritual/religious studies (Nouthetic Counseling) along with my perpetual care for the “whole person”. We can identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem, and connection (unity) with God; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health and “wellness”.
κοπιάω (Strong’s #2872 — Verb — kopiao — kop-ee-ah’-o ) (a) “to grow tired with toil,” Matthew 11:28; John 4:6; revelation 2:3 , also means (b) “to bestow labor, work with toil,” Romans 16:6; Galatians 4:11; in John 4:38 , AV, “bestowed (no) labor,” RV, “have (not) labored,” and, in the same verse, AV and RV, “labored.” See LABOR , TOIL , WEARY.
“Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.” “We can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength.” Charles Stanley, preacher of His Word- The Gospels.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart (power-joy-pons), and with all thy soul (energy-bliss-thymus), and with all thy mind (power-joy-pons) and strength (body-delight-ras-gut). Mathew 22:37-39
What is the best way to support those with Neurodevelopmental disorders or Neurodiversity in later onset?
I find the best support includes understanding the impact that a negative social environment, aka learning with trauma, has on those who have a neurodiversity, or as I prefer to say “neurodifferent”. My program, My Elbert, was developed to help those who feel weak and weary due to being neurodifferent including those working with them. Mainly, I help others to succeed and employ a positive attitude towards learning and learning environment. Instead of allowing shame and anger to overwhelm the learner, I focus on bringing in positive emotions and teaching methods for instance observing when they are needing calm delight. As well, help the learner with their learning difference and change their brain with self-directed neuroplasticity [flexibility and adaptability] and atonement. I support students with mixed: My Elbert enrichment along with literacy intervention, and tutoring online classes. These classes/sessions stem from a hybrid of elements and methods from Montessori- life domains and development with observation, Nouthetic Counseling- theology, evangelism, behavioral sciences , and Orton-Gillingham methods- practice of reading in research. I developed this program due to my own experience and being labeled severely learning disabled. As well as, I would like to share I little about myself, I have a Neurodiversity in Auditory, Visual and Vestibular as well a Neurodivergency which had made me weak and weary over the span of my life. Basically, I struggled with anger/shame due to LD (view My Story Of Dyslexia: HERE and ask about my RESUME!)
According to Mark Briscoe, Jesus experienced anger and grief. His anger was a righteous anger for it had selfless reasons. He experience grief when Lazarus died but not for Lazarus but for the people who loved Lazarus. He knew he would raise Lazarus. But looking at the people who wept he was grieved. And you find the shortest verse in the Bible. “Jesus wept.” He didnt feel shame or guilt for they imply He would have sinned.
Paul says that God has written a certain knowledge of His laws on every human heart [Rom. 2:14-15], and experience confirms this. But conscience can be misinformed, or conditioned to regard evil as good, or become seared and dull through repeated sin [1 Tim. 4:2]. The judgments of conscience are only to be received as God’s voice when they match God’s own truth and law in Scripture. The conscience must be educated to judge scripturally.
Superstition or scruple may lead a person to count as sinful an action that according to God’s word is not sinful. But for such a “weak” conscience [Rom. 14:1-2; 1 Cor. 8:7, 12;] to go against itself and do what it mistakenly judges to be wrong would be sin [Rom. 14:23]. Those whose conscience is “weak” should never be pressed to do what destroys their good conscience.
The New Testament ideal is a conscience free from guilt and able to guide us in a holy direction. The conscience can only be freed from guilt by the power of Christ’s blood. Once freed and protected in its freedom by the gift of justification, the conscience is able to grow through the teaching of Scripture and the means of grace in Christian life…
Like my friend, Al Rosenblum wrote, God made us with an empty place in our hearts that only He can fill. He fills the spiritual need enabling us to operate lovingly and effectively in our human relationships. The empty place causes us to have hunger/thirst for love, affection, appreciation, etc.. We use our to attach to people and things in our world that we believe will fill our emptiness. Before salvation which happens in a microsecond of time when we believe the gospel (death, burial, resurrection of Jesus to resolve our sin debt with God-Father) we are disconnected from God and can only attach our hunger & faith to people & earthly things of the world. We attach our hearts to the things of this life and build a false belief system around the idea that the love of people and possessions (instead of God) can make us happy (a lie). We build our entire belief system on lies that we pick up out of the world (this statement requires considerable explanation). All that we learn & believe that builds our thinking system before we are saved is devoid of God as the center & purpose and without the Holy Spirit to reveal the divine truths to us. After we are saved we use the same system to learn the same divine ideas that Jesus used in His earthly life so that we can use them too, becoming like Him from the inside out. AGAIN, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart (energy-bliss-thymus), and with all thy soul (power-joy-pons), and with all thy mind (energy-bliss-thymus) and strength (body-delight-ras-gut) [UPWARD FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM– Thymus, Pons, RAS/GUT]. Mathew 22:37-39
We have all harbored anger and shame in our high heart-mind. On the other hand, “In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,…” https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/111/EPH.4.26.NIV. Jesus works on our “Leb” at night, giving His believers instruction at night and request for us to be in a mindset of Christ the rest of the day!
In my experience, everyone Who Excels In Learning Has Developed A Unique Sense Of Trust In Themselves Through Jesus, Their Gifts, & How They Process Information!! -Tricia Cook

What are mitochondria?
Mitochondria are compartmentalized, dual-membrane organelles that are responsible for most energy production in the cell. Mitochondria contain their own DNA and ribosomes (RNA). Their primary function is to convert energy from glucose into ATP via oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria also play an important role in the cellular stress response through processes such as autophagy, apoptosis, and hypoxia. Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in many human diseases including cancer, metabolic syndrome & neurodegenerative disorders, ex. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) (Retrieved from https://www.novusbio.com/research-areas/cellular-markers/mitochondrial-markers.html; https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnmol.2018.00393/full).
Mitochondria have been increasing recognized as important players in the aging process. Most aging related diseases and particularly neurodegenerative diseases have mitochondrial involvement. Co-activation- brings the neurons to activation and stimulation of mitochondrial production within the cells which helps build more efficient, proactive neuronal networks and plasticity. Mitochondria are the principal synergetic energy generators of cells, and neurons are cells that require a lot of energy. People with depression have fewer mitochondria in their neurons and people with untreated depression have lower levels of protein produced by mitochondria. These help maintain optimal energy production as well as structural integrity and optimal numbers of mitochondria.

A characteristic of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s—collectively known as neurodegenerative diseases—is the build-up of misfolded proteins. These proteins, such as amyloid and tau in Alzheimer’s disease, form ‘aggregates’ that can cause irreversible damage to nerve cells in the brain. Protein folding is a normal process in the body, and in healthy individuals, cells carry out a form of quality control to ensure that proteins are correctly folded and that misfolded proteins are destroyed. But in neurodegenerative diseases, this system becomes impaired, with potentially devastating consequences. As the global population ages, an increasing number of people are being diagnosed with dementia, making the search for effective drugs ever more urgent. However, progress has been slow, with no medicines yet available that can prevent or remove the build-up of aggregates.

Ordinarily, there is a balance in the brain between signals that increase cell activity and ones which suppress it. In epilepsy, the balance is disturbed, and the nerve cells send signals in an uncontrolled manner. The ion channel which has mutated in the patient normally has a dampening effect on nerve signaling. Therefore, a new study sheds light on the biological mechanism behind some genetic forms of epilepsy. [Retrieved from https://neurosciencenews.com/genetics-epilepsy-20646/].
Please Note: A new NIH grant will allow Virginia Tech researchers to explore the mechanisms of social memory in the hippocampus. “Impaired social memory is a phenotype of numerous neurological disorders, ranging from autism spectrum disorder to schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease,” Farris said. “By unraveling the molecular nuances underlying healthy memory storage, we aim to pinpoint a host of potential interventional targets for neurodevelopmental, neurocognitive and neurodegenerative disease. She [Farris] hypothesizes that these unusual mitochondrial characteristics may be influencing this brain region’s plasticity – or ability to rapidly modify synapses, neurochemical portals that mediate communication between neurons.” [Retrieved from https://neurosciencenews.com/mitochondria-social-memory-19623/].
Ribosomal RNA is the predominant form of RNA found in most cells; it makes up about 80% of cellular RNA despite never being translated into proteins itself. Ribosomes are composed of approximately 60% rRNA and 40% ribosomal proteins by mass. [Retrieved from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_RNA]
Connection Can Be Differentiated & Lost with Self & Others on A Cellular Level: Via Proteomics Degeneration -Tricia Cook
What is Proteomics?
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteomes. A proteome is a set of proteins produced in an organism, system, or biological context. … Proteomics is used to investigate: when and where proteins are expressed also the rates of protein production, degradation, and steady-state abundance. Proteomics is the analysis of the entire protein complement of a cell, tissue, or organism under a specific, defined set of conditions.

Epigenetics Modulators?
A Neutral State, calm delight or at “peace” when learning under stress, of equanimity of the structures and interacting areas of the limbic system are involved in learning such as motivation/meaning (Atonement- Will), emotion (Attunement), and memory (Autonomy). The limbic system is where the subcortical structures meet the cerebral cortex. … The limbic system also interacts with the basal ganglia. Also, the need to avoid insensitivity.
Yes, I do believe the disconnect for families, students, and schools and the neurodiverse in general. It’s in the Spiritual Development part of Nerupedagogy, where the disconnect happens in these domains such as: (intellectual) what is right, (moral) what is good, and (imaginative) what is His Divine Will for us by in and upon design, plan, and purpose!!!
INTELLECTUAL- what is right, memory (RAS-ACC & HPA)
Pleading Disparagement- expression of a low opinion of someone’s thoughts, ideas, & feelings!! Every cell in your body holds hundreds of pages of information on all levels of your being: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Cellular memory is a theory that the body’s cells retain memories independently of the brain. The RAS triangle of well-being—how to promote a healthy flow between your mind, brain, and relationships in a specific way such as Autonomy=Resilience, Attitude, and Focus!
MORAL- what is good, emotion (PONS)
Neuroplasticity is the capacity of nerve cells to biologically adapt to circumstances, to change their connections and behavior in response to new information, sensory stimulation, development, damage, or dysfunction. Mindsight, a skill we can all develop to break free from mental patterns that get in the way of living our lives to the fullest; A practical definition of the mind—distilled from a dozen scientific fields; PONS & The RAS promotes a healthy flow between your mind, brain, and relationships in a specific way such as Attunement=Resilience, Attitude, and Attention!
IMAGINATIVE- what is God’s Will, atonement (THYMUS)
Self-directed neuroplasticity and atonement, then, is the ability for the brain to change itself depending on how you direct your thoughts and attention. The THYMUS is the “self-directed” piece refers to your ability to intentionally shape your brain by using it in a specific way such as Autonomy & Attunement= Adaptability (3 A’s)! Meaning, the “whole person”, becoming willing to adapt to Him and allowing him into All consequence made by our own will and choices. Because, this trust will let us know our own truths that basically-We Are Free from the old covet, Sin Laws and Can Come to realize the new covet, Spiritual Laws (water, blood, and Spirit has atoned for us through His resurrection).
Disposition of Genetic Proponents-Genetic Etiology
In broad terms, the findings showed “significant genetic overlap” between anxiety and conditions including PTSD and depression that frequently co-occur with anxiety. This fact, the researchers said, “provides biological evidence that this known clinical comorbidity is due at least in part to shared genetic etiology [causation].” The team found strong positive correlations genetically between participants with recent anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms and/or neuroticism.
In the portion of the combined sample that is of European ancestry, the strongest GWAS correlation with anxiety was a gene called SATB1, which is thought to influence the activity (“expression”) of multiple other genes involved in neuronal development. One such “influenced” gene is called CRH, which encodes the Corticotropin Releasing Hormone, a protein that plays a central role in the operation of the body’s HPA axis, the linked system in which the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands modulate stress and the fear/anxiety response. The protein product of a gene called CRHR1, the researchers note, has been a proposed treatment target for anxiety and stress-related disorders.

Epigenetic modulators thus serve to transduce signals from environmental agents, injury, inflammation, aging and other cellular stressors towards modifiers to alter the chromatin states of tumor suppressors or oncogenes and to promote epigenetic flexibility and the acquisition of stem-like features early during:
- Epigenetic mechanisms form a layer of control within a cell that regulates gene expression and silencing. …
- Three different epigenetic mechanisms have been identified: DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA (ncRNA)-associated gene silencing (“turning off dyslexia”).

From the report: The 17 studies, appearing online Oct. 6 in the journal Nature, are the result of five years of work by a huge consortium of researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health’s Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative to identify the myriad of different cell types in one portion of the brain. It is the first step in a long-term project to generate an atlas of the entire brain to help understand how the neural networks in our head control our body and mind and how they are disrupted in cases of mental and physical problems.

Three Potential Mechanisms of Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM):
First, by direct stimulation, where photobiomodulation is applied directly on the distressed neurons themselves, activates mitochondrial function that then increases both adenosine triphosphate energy and the expression of stimulatory and/or protective genes.
Second, by indirect stimulation, where photobiomodulation triggers recruitment of a “middle man”, such as cells of the immune and/or stem cell systems. These activated cells may swarm to the region of distressed neurons and helps them survive and function, by potentially increasing the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines while decreasing the pro-inflammatory ones.
Third, rather than acting on the distressed neurons through either a direct or indirect stimulation as described above, photobiomodulation may act on other brain regions, for example motor cortex, that then stimulate the neural networks that underpin the behavioural improvements.

A very important study shows acute stress as a result of childhood maltreatment to accelerated early maturation of the immune system. Acute psychosocial stress states stimulate the secretion of an antibody type protein that is decisive in the first immune defense against infection, but only after puberty.

Studies of the orthologous mouse protein suggest that it may also play a role in spermatid differentiation, as well as in neuronal morphogenesis [a class of large neurons present in the peripheral nervous system below] and synaptic plasticity. As well, the energy cycles which are known as circadian rhythms, which were popularized by Nobel Prize-winning researchers Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael Young. They highlighted that every cell in the body is set to follow this biological clock which determines your sleep, appetite, hormone releases, and energy levels. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with susceptibility for multiple sclerosis (MS). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants (see Thymus below). “The circadian rhythm of about 24 hours is a fundamental physiological function observed in almost all organisms, from prokaryotes to humans. Identification of clock genes has allowed us to study the molecular bases for circadian behaviors and temporal physiological processes such as hormonal secretion, and has prompted the idea that molecular clocks reside not only in a central pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of hypothalamus in mammals, but also in peripheral tissues, even in immortalized cells.” Furthermore …(See RAS, Pons, Thymus below, and see brain and testes association HERE-Retrieved from Thymus Function and Aging: A Focus on Thymic Epithelial Cells https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/24158 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15834108/; https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1471-2199-5-18).

An autoimmune disease is a condition that affects your hormones and immune system which mistakenly attacks your body. The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them. There are more than 100 autoimmune diseases, including conditions such as celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, and psoriasis. These occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks parts of the human body. This statistic comes from the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association.

The vitamin D Receptor and T cell function
Where is the vitamin D receptor?
In humans, the vitamin D receptor is encoded by the VDR gene located on chromosome 12q13. 11. Like the iNKT cells, there are also fewer CD8αα/TCRαβ precursors in the thymus of VDR-KO animals. Moreover, to complete development CD8αα/TCRαβ cells must travel from the thymus to the gastrointestinal tract where IL-15 induces proliferation and upregulation of CD8αα. Due to decreased levels of IL-15 receptor expression VDR-KO CD8αα/TCRαβ cells proliferate poorly, resulting in a diminished mature CD8αα/TCRαβ population in the VDR-KO gut (Yu et al., 2008; Bruce and Cantorna, 2011; Ooi et al., 2012). These data illustrate that in contrast to conventional T cells, VDR expression is mandatory for development of both iNKT cells and CD8αα/TCRαβ T cells. VDR is expressed in most tissues of the body, and regulates transcription of about 900 genes involved in intestinal and renal transport of calcium and other minerals. In a study by Patel et al. (1995) plasma toxins from uremic patients was shown to bind to the patient’s VDR, thereby disrupting binding of VDR-RXR to DNA resulting in a diminished VDR response. It so appears that post-translational modifications of VDR adjust VDR activity in both health and disease.

Bones provide both skeletal scaffolding and space for hematopoiesis in its marrow. Previous work has shown that these functions were tightly regulated by the nervous system. The central and peripheral nervous systems tightly regulate compact bone remodeling, its metabolism, and hematopoietic homeostasis in the bone marrow (BM). Accumulating evidence indicates that the nervous system, which fine-tunes inflammatory responses and alterations in neural functions, may regulate autoimmune diseases. Neural signals also influence the progression of hematological malignancies such as acute and chronic myeloid leukemias. Here, we review the interplay of the nervous system with bone, BM, and immunity, and discuss future challenges to target hematological diseases through modulation of activity of the nervous system.

Similarly, early last year, researchers from institutes in Germany and Greece reported a mechanism in the brain’s outer cortical cells that produces a novel ‘graded’ signal all on its own, one that could provide individual neurons with another way to carry out their logical functions.

Hyponatremia is not only the most common electrolyte disorder but is also associated with higher infection rate [1], cardiovascular disease [2, 3], and mortality risk [4, 5]. Central nervous system (CNS) symptoms are the main manifestations of hyponatremia [6]. Think about how dementia cause an electrolyte imbalance? Residents who have very advanced dementia may also develop electrolyte imbalance because their brain no longer reminds their body to drink or accept fluids when offered to them. How is an electrolyte imbalance diagnosed? Electrolyte imbalance is usually diagnosed by blood tests. Does level(s) affect dementia?

Conjugated linoleic fatty acid (CLA) helps body composition, help reduce body fat deposits, cardio-metabolic risk factors, improve immune function, and energetic metabolism
Read more: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a type of fat. Dairy and beef are major sources of CLA in the diet. Most CLA supplements are made from safflower oil. CLA might help reduce body fat deposits and improve immune function. The average diet supplies 15-174 mg of CLA daily. It is a naturally occurring ingredient that can safely be used for numerous health-promoting benefits. 05/09/08 CLA, the natural weight loss supplement, was recently approved by the FDA as a food product and regarded as safe for use in foods. If you were wondering how much CLA to take for weight loss, most healthy adults take a dosage of 3 to 6 mg of CLA daily. However, adults over 155 pounds should take a minimum of 3.5 mg of CLA. Anywhere between 3,000-6,000 milligrams is ideal for individuals at a healthy weight. Those who weigh over 155 pounds should take at least 3,500 mg (3.5 g) to get the full effect of CLA. https://www.rxlist.com/conjugated_linoleic_acid/supplements.htm. People commonly take CLA by mouth for weight loss. It is also often used for bodybuilding and fitness, but there is limited scientific evidence to support these uses. Furthermore, CLA supplementation may modulate the immune function, help re-synthetize of glycogen and potentiate the bone mineralization.
CLA supplementation also could increase the lipolysis and reduce the accumulation of fatty acids on the adipose tissue; the putative mechanisms involved may be its action in reducing the lipase lipoprotein activity and to increase the carnitine-palmitoil-transferase-1 (CAT-1) activity, its interaction with PPARγ, and to raise the expression of UCP-1..Similarly, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is being sold as a panacea that has the capability of reducing or eliminating cancer, preventing heart disease, improving immune function, and altering body composition to treat obesity or build lean body mass. Unfortunately, there has been very little published human research on CLA. This review will examine the literature on CLA and discuss the animal research on which the above claims are made. The limited human studies will be presented with an evaluation of the potential uses of CLA for human health and disease.

The emotions of anger/shame or hatred/grief or deceit/guilt are energies (synergies discussed more in NTN Part II) that affect everyone differently, and in some ways the same.

Chapter 1 The Body
Nature- is the maturation of the brain and body; for the purpose of survival, it’s the ability to perceive, give meaning, learn, and act including motivation along with resilience of our very own attitudes. Then, think about environments, the senses, and seeking out patterns first (see Nurture section below).
Our brains and particularly the posterior lobes of cortex, have evolved to recognize environmental patterns efficiently. Just as affect can influence what we perceive in the outside world, our expectations about what we are seeing can warp what we do see. Illusions, like Abelson, are great ways to illustrate the brain’s dependence on and interaction with patterns when recognizing our world. The environment is comprised not of random or chaotic information, but rather of predictable patterns. Humans’ ability to rapidly recognize those patterns is a critical part of how recognition networks function.. Received from http://udltheorypractice.cast.org/reading?12&loc=chapter2.xml_l1969841].
In mice, a specific type of brain cell called a PV neuron improves the ability to distinguish a target sound from background noise (i.e., the cocktail party problem) (Kamal Sen, Boston University). The feeling of ownership over one’s body while experiencing an event strengthens the memory representation of that event in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in learning and memory (Heather Iriye, Karolinska Institute, Sweden). In humans and monkeys, imagining an object’s movement activates motion-sensitive areas of the brain, suggesting that both species can simulate versions of the world in similar ways (David Sheinberg, Brown University). A novel technique involving non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) informed by real-time scalp EEG recordings enhanced human visual perception by modulating communication between frontal and visual brain regions (Nitzan Censor, Tel-Aviv University, Israel). These studies give a better understanding of the neural basis of perceptual phenomena will help clarify both ordinary experiences — such as the ability to pick a single voice out of a noisy background — and disorders in which perception is altered — such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Speaking of the “whole child”- the vagus nerve connects the brain stem to the body. It also connects and aligns the chakras (energy centers-wheels), Pons, RAS & CAN: ACC/HPA and thymus including their own biofield (including electromagnetic field). This vagal balance allows (via thymus) the brain stem to receive the information (formulating patterned neural connections) from the environment, the frontal lobe to perceive the universal emotions which are the following: anger, strength, joy, bliss, shame, empathy, courage, compassion, might and harmony, and the midbrain to monitor and receive information (firing pattern of brain nerve cells in a network), The PONS and RAS- HPA/ACC includes executive functioning which involves logic through analysis or evaluation; initially, the thymus is where the mind (thymus) deems how important based on cellular memory (what or why). “The relationship to the senses and the is direct, for the senses leave lasting impressions on the soul.” [Retrieved from https://www.unseenwarfare.net/the-five-senses.]

The vagus nerve controls vagal balance and the executive functioning system (via the thymus- vagus nerve chakra). The thymus (high-heart and mind) including the vagus nerve can be deactivated, hyperactivated, hypoactived, underdeveloped, or variably then going inactive in children (adults-too); therefore, all information is the chaotic and releases specific inflammatory proteins at the gut-brain axis which can be toxic to the triune brain.

Engagement is Heterarchical
Researchers have identified gene expression signatures common to sensory processing that facilitates the brain’s interpretation of sensory input. Sight, touch and hearing are our windows to the world: these sensory channels send a constant flow of information to the brain, which acts to sort out and integrate these signals, allowing us to perceive the world and interact with our environment. But how do these sensory pathways emerge during development? Do they share a common structure, or, on the contrary, do they emerge independently, each with its specific features?

But we can look beyond neuroscience to other fields for confirmation of the importance of these three basic components of learning. For some time, educators, psychologists, and organizational theorists have pointed to the same three components in any learning organism. For example, Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist of the early 20th century, described three prerequisites for learning:
- Engagement with the learning task
- Recognition of the information to be learned
- Strategies to process that information14

ALL Upon Faith In Hope- SHEWBREAD- shō : “Show” (so always the American Standard Revised Version) is simply a modernized spelling of “shew” (so always in the King James Version and generally in the English Revised Version), and it should be carefully noted that “shew” is never pronounced “shoo,” not even in the combination “shewbread”; Compare “sew.” In the King James Version “shew” as a verb is the translation of a very large number of terms in the original. This number is reduced considerably by the Revised Version (British and American) (especially in the New Testament), but most of these changes are to secure uniformity of rendition, rather than to correct obscurities. The proper sense of the verb, of course, is “to cause a person to see” (Genesis 12:1 , etc.) or “to cause a thing (or “person”) to be seen” (Deuteronomy 4:35; Judges 4:22 , etc.).
παραδειγματίζω (Strong’s #3856 — Verb — paradeigmatizo — par-ad-igue-mat-id’-zo ) shame signifies “to set forth as an example” (para, “beside,” deiknumi, “to show”), and is used in Hebrews 6:6 of those Jews, who, though attracted to, and closely associated with, the Christian faith, without having experienced more than a tasting of the heavenly gift and partaking of the Holy Ghost (not actually receiving Him), were tempted to apostatize to Judaism, and, thereby crucifying the Son of God a second time, would “put Him to an open shame.” So were criminals exposed. In the Sept., Numbers 25:4; Jeremiah 13:22; Ezekiel 28:17.
Recognition is Heterarchical: The “New Man”- Perceives as God Does (Living Faith- Seeing, Hearing & Understanding By Faith)
We have seen that individual aspects of patterns, such as their color, shape, orientation, or motion, are processed by separate parts of recognition networks. And these specialized processes proceed in parallel. But they do not proceed independently. Like affective systems, recognition systems are intensely interconnected and heterarchical. The naïve assumption is that recognition is primarily a “bottom-up” process. In this view, visual sensory information enters the nervous system at the retina (the bottom) and then travels up through an increasingly complex hierarchical network, eventually reaching the visual cortex where patterns in the visual information are recognized (the top).
But as we saw in the Adelson illusion, recognition is very much a “top-down” process. Our brains don’t just passively receive information in that bottom-up way. Instead, our brains are constantly and persistently anticipating and predicting what patterns we will see, hear, smell, taste, or touch, and those expectancies profoundly affect what patterns we actually do perceive. To facilitate recognition, our brains consistently make use of higher-order information such as background knowledge, context, previous experience, and overall pattern.

Eliminating Negative Thoughts
In the field of psychology, emotions are not just our feelings, as some may think. Just as colors are actually the appearance of different frequencies, emotions [especially anger and shame] are composed of similar properties. A lower or negative emotion has a lower frequency and the body isn’t able to assimilate that frequency or doesn’t know how to deal with it. In these situations, these emotions can become “trapped” in our magnetic field [“soul”] or even in our bodies causing imbalances that can affect the proper function of our body system.

Literacy (reading, writing, speaking) can lead someone to experiencing disparagement and intense emotions. These emotions [anger and shame] are our feelings, thoughts, ideas, perceptions, physical sensations and involve the senses and their faculties and systems, all of which start in the mind. They create what we call mindset- needing a calm mindset for equanimity is key. Our God- spiritual mindset a calm delight with regulates every love or fear experience we have and our very purpose of being here on earth. The emotions need to be honored, especially anger and shame. Emotional agility is to move quickly and easily from anger to strength and shame to empathy; for adults, it is to move quickly and easily from hatred to courage and grief to compassion. For this to happen, you need self-directed neuroplasticity, amongst several other things for which I will mention. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/9634501.
Likewise, you need to not only need to eliminate the negative thoughts, but to become conscious of the positive thoughts. We have gifts, strengths, and talents that can be developed by natural compensation of the brain and can enforced by your environment. Recognizing these gifts will hopeful be recognized at an early age before anger and shame starts to surface.

What is emotional intensity and how related to Darbowski’s Overexcitabtlites:
Learning with trauma includes Emotional Intensity”- Includes…Cognitive, Social/Emotional, Mental, Physical & Spiritual: Dabrowski identified five areas of intensity-Psychomotor, Sensual, Intellectual, Imagination, and Emotional. How do you know if you have overexcitabilities? When stressed, children with psychomotor overexcitabilities may talk over anyone and everyone, act impulsively, misbehave in ways that are seemingly incongruent with their age, display nervous habits like tics, and may even act compulsively – organizing things or arguing about perceived inconsistencies.

- A lot of people with emotional intensity have experienced problems during their childhood.
- a combination of life events, psychological experiences and effects, and genetic factors.
- It is characterized by heightened and intense feelings, a constant stream of both positive and negative feelings – Anger, Shame, pain, distress, despair, fear, excitement, love, sadness or happiness.
- sometimes a mixture of many Emotions at the same time.

The “gray matter” of the brain is densely packed with nerve cell bodies and is responsible for the brain’s higher functions, such as thinking, computing, and decision-making. But gray matter is only half of the brain matter inside our heads — the other half of brain volume is called . It has long been established that stress-related illnesses, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) trigger changes in brain structure, including differences in the volume of gray matter versus white matter, as well as the size and connectivity of the amygdala. However, researchers are just beginning to understand exactly how chronic stress creates long-lasting changes in brain structure, which affect how the brain functions. “We studied only one part of the brain, the hippocampus, but our findings could provide insight into how white matter is changing in conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, depression, suicide, ADHD, and PTSD,” Kaufer said. The hippocampus regulates memory and emotions, plays a role in various emotional disorders, and has been known to shrink under extended periods of acute stress.” [Retrieved from https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/201402/chronic-stress-can-damage-brain-structure-and-connectivity].

The ‘theory of mind” is the degree of capacity for empathy and strength; as well as our understanding of ourselves and others have a mind, too. Where the mind is located has been a continuous debate- I propose that the mind at least begin in our very own thymus. The thymus in Greek root–thymos–the middle region between reason (intelligence) and desire (imagination). The thymus is the center of both our higher and lower self. It is the epicenter of a vagus nerve highway including the interchanges from our gut-brain axis, to our Pons, RAS including CAN: ACC and HPA (both housed with-in the brain) which all control every system, sense, and function; basically, every aspect of the human being. The ” ” is an eon- a miniature particle-spherical body made up of God’s Image (That can multiply, grow, expand- as in constant connection and flow through Christ, by means of coming-into the ARAS-THYMUS, & PONS, RAS/GUT, -God’s conscious (nous)). It’s the ultimate “energy” center that create an authority of the self-body seeking out love, peace, and justice. It makes up our EM field- and determines or desires and higher purpose as it’s “the soul” in commune with one’s spirit. The thymus aka “leb” can be overtaken by love or fear- it’s where our consciousness and super consciousness (ARAS- chakras 12+ consciousness and subconscious conjoin in unity) begins and ends. In reference to the “leb:- R E Murphy on the heart – The heart is the central organ of the body in the wisdom literature. It is often paraphrased as “mind,” since it does have an intellectual component (cf. the usual, if unfortunate, translation of the “listening heart” of Solomon in 1Ki 3:9 as “understanding mind”). But it is also the basic orientation of a person, embracing desires, emotions, and attitude.
So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27 AMP
The attitude depends on the student finding motivation and meaning for their learning. One’s attitude for learning makes for a make or break type learning. -Tricia Cook
In the field of child-psychology, “Every attitude has three components that are represented in what is called the ABC model of attitudes: A for affective, B for behavioral, and C for cognitive. Although every attitude has these three components, any particular attitude can be based on one component more than another (Study.com 2020).” The naming of the word attitude as it relates to students learning can give someone a negative perception; parents ask me all the time, “can you help me with my child’s attitude”. The attitude one has for learning makes for a make or break type learning. I observe kids all the time with Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD) which means it is hard to find meaning and motivation for learning. When your child is learning under stress, fear, and having RDS, they are learning from their mental or emotional bodies, primarily with a (anger) Sympathetic Functional System which is a hyper-processing dysfunction and (shame) Parasympathetic Functional System Dysfunction which is a hypo-processing dysfunction or both anger/shame which is a Total Functional Dominance System (TFD) which is a varied hyper-, hypo- dysfunction of the RAS (Rectangular Activation System). This hyper-, hypo- and varied dominance affects the “whole child”.
Affective differences clearly exert powerful effects on learners’ ability to learn. Affect can influence a learner very positively—as shown in Rosalie Fink’s work on reading instruction of individuals with dyslexia—or, as is more commonly noted, negatively. 31 Students with severe affective disorders, such as schizophrenia or a history of abuse, are highly vulnerable to reading failure, in part because strong affective influences derail the work of recognition and strategic networks. More prevalent issues, such as learning disabilities, can also produce strong affective responses over time. We have talked to college students with learning disabilities who vividly describe the palpable dread with which they pick up and open new textbooks. Naturally, some effects are commonplace for everyone—anxiety before a test or a presentation is not only typical of most people but also beneficial. A certain amount of stress or anxiety can prepare us to pay close attention and to perform at our best. Understanding these differences can help teachers support learners appropriately.

No one knows exactly why some people develop schizophrenia, but it is known that a combination of biological and environmental factors contributes to the disease.

The Mind: Perceiving with Interpersonal Victimhood Outside of Conscious Awareness
The research was published…Personality and Individual Differences (think about autonomy):
Another Recent Study uncovers the “Tendency for Interpersonal Victimhood”: A new personality construct has been defined that describes people who persistently see themselves as victims within interpersonal conflicts [such as disparagement]. This research has suggested, for example, that middle school students with learning disabilities often view academic situations as threatening, even exhibiting physiological stress responses upon entering a room where they will be asked to read. While more successful readers tend to show mild anxiety when asked to read aloud, students with a history of reading difficulties show elevated heart rates and other indicators [sympathetic-anger] of stress even before being given instructions.25
SEVEN IMPACTS OF DYSLEXIA CAUSING INTENSE EMOTIONS
Here’s let’s think about the impacts of dyslexia and the disparagement all creating anger/shame especially in school:
First:
Difficulty understanding any concept without starting with the “whole picture”. The dyslexic learner thinks and understands the world in whole concrete images. If the whole concrete image has not been presented first and is available when the student is starting to learn the parts, the parts will not make any sense and the brain will discard them. The dyslexic needs to start with and see whole images and whole concepts, not the separated parts.
Second:
Difficulty with understanding the parts separate from the whole image of the word. If these students cannot see the parts within the whole and the whole image at the same time, they cannot make sense out of pieces or parts of information.
For example, demonstrating fractions. Use two oranges, keep one whole, cut the other up first into halves then into quarters, but always have the visual image of the whole orange present. The student must understand that the word fraction stands for the equal parts you have created from the whole.
Third:
Difficulty with the skills of hand printing, spelling, reading, and composing sentences correctly. This usually means that the dyslexic brain cannot transfer its concrete images adequately, which works with abstracts and uses the language of words and numbers.
Fourth:
The dyslexic thinker cannot learn, analyze, or work with what they do not understand or can process. This is a strong indication that although the students are taking in information and attempting to store it in whole concrete images, they are not using it for thinking or learning that requires abstract processing. Instead, they are memorizing the image of the information and giving it back verbatim in their answers. Basically, difficulty with understanding the parts separate from the whole image of the word.
Fifth:
The dyslexic learner does not always understand the abstract words, thoughts, and ideas they hear or read as they cannot easily turn them into whole concrete images they can visualize. Words must be memorized beforehand, so the brain does not have to lose time during reading figuring out how the word is decoded, what it sounds like or means. If the student spends too much time in decoding and recognizing the individual words, comprehension of the story is lost.
Sixth:
The student is forced to reread the passage over and over to understand what they have just read. Their short-term memory can consequently dump the information when the dyslexic has struggled too long to decode the words and find context in what they are reading. Therefore, the student will not be able to answer any questions about their reading assignment because the student has not processed the information correctly or stored it in long-term memory.
Seventh:
Difficulty in following instructions. Dyslexic students need very specific and complete instructions on how to do an assignment, project, test or complete a lesson. Again, this is about the necessity to see the whole picture.
They need to understand how the assignment starts and ends. They need to know: where to put their name, date and title; what kind of paper to use; pen, pencil, or computer; the date to hand it in; how the answers should look (for example: one word answers, a paragraph or a page); and any other issues that may be of concern for the student. Once the student has all the information they require they have the “whole picture” of what to do and can now see the parts so they are ready to start the assignment.
Also, the entire lesson or explanation must be given at one time on the same day. If this does not happen, the students will forget everything they should have learned to be able to work on and complete the assignment. Dyslexic students should always be allowed and encouraged to ask questions to fill in any gaps they have in understanding what they are required to do.
With Disparagement Some Can Start to Disassociate, Increase Shame, AND/OR Become INATTENTIVE to What They Are Reading
Researchers investigate why we “space out” and stop paying attention to the world around us when we become engrossed in social media posts. Sometimes when we are reading a good book, it’s like we are transported into another world and we stop paying attention to what’s around us. Researchers at the University of Washington wondered if people enter a similar state of dissociation when surfing social media, and if that explains why users might feel out of control after spending so much time on their favorite app. [Retrieved from https://neurosciencenews.com/dissociative-state-social-media-20640/].
Murphy and Zajonc (1993) affirmed a previous finding that positive and negative affective responses “can be evoked with minimal stimulus input and virtually no cognitive processing [fight, fight]” (p. 723). They further found that when affective network response is elicited outside of conscious awareness, brain response is diffuse and a specific location cannot be specified.
Over time, I observed those who experience disparagement- go from anger in nature, to hatred and resentment. Similarly, those with shame nature- go from regressive anger to shame, grief, and guilt, “The emotion is a direct avenue to explain a spiritual truth.” Likewise, “draw away the mind from its grief… “later noting that ‘we ought not to grieve for those whom we see to be set free, and we bear in mind that so many holy souls are, not without a purpose, at this time loosed from the chains of the body’ (1.67). ” Written by Rt. Revd. Prof Bishop Irenei of London and Western Europe HERE
According to Fr. Stephen Freeman, acknowledging our emptiness and brokenness, our failures and weakness, is an exercise in confronting shame. It can be quite painful – something we either avoid or cover over with self-loathing. Shame is not self-loathing. Indeed, the energy behind our self-loathing is simply pride (ϕιλαυτία). Self-loathing is consumed with the self and driven by its unwillingness to be that person. Bearing our shame is the willingness to acknowledge the truth of ourselves and our lives as a simple fact, without protest or promise of reform. It is enduring the simple fact of our lives, how we live them, how we fail, how we really do not love God or others, etc. It is not an exercise in comparative failure – it does not matter whether our weakness is similar to anyone else’s. Such comparisons are merely another exercise in self-justification, an avoidance of the fact, the shame, of our lives. ‘ Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps. 110:1.]’ Hebrews 12:2
In this particular ancient tradition, anger [and shame], or any passion for that matter, is not an appropriate motivation for any action….Of course one must act, personally and politically, in whatever ways are possible and appropriate to make the world a better place, but not with anger burning in your heart. Anger blinds and deafens. Anger keeps us from thinking clearly and from paying attention to and loving the human beings in our presence right now. Anger drives away the Holy Spirit and consistently leads us to say and do things we later regret. Anger is not the way. We need to give the heart a way out of itself. This goes back to the idea of opening the heart to others. If you want to get out of the trap of anger or resentment, of bitterness, of depression, a key starting point is to find ways to serve another person, because when you really serve someone else, when you offer genuine compassion to another suffering person, the heart does not have time to be bitter, does not have time to loathe or to hold onto energies.

When a child with neurodifferences is learning something new or stressful, if mindset is perceived with anger (SFD-sympathetic functional dominance), we can observe lessened neuroplasticity of the midbrain (right lobe) and constant speed shifting (accelerated or and varied) of the prefrontal cortex, frontal lobe along with midbrain (left lobe) and emotional disorders with long-term memory problems. Likewise, if the mindset is perceived with shame (PFD-parasympathetic functional dominance), we can observe lessened neuroplasticity of the prefrontal cortex, frontal lobe along with posterior left lobe, and constant speed shifting (slow or and varied) of the midbrain (right lobe) along with more executive functioning issues and short-term memory problems or midbrain. We can attribute this constant speed shifting to the common difficulties of poor neuroplasticity.

Rather than consider the possibility of DNA being the deliberate construction of an intelligent Creator, Crick mused about ideas like exogenesis, panspermia, and directed panspermia. Crick has since re-affirmed his commitment to the evolution of life on earth from purely natural mechanisms, though with significant questions left unanswered [such as] For the complete matrix, you have to have matter, force, energy, space, and time. Those five things are all in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning [time] God [force] created [energy] the heavens [space] and the earth [matter].” The complete matrix is in Genesis 1:1 and that is a profound scientific statement. However, all red blood cells, including human, must start with DNA, as DNA contains the code that tells each cell how to construct itself in the first place. All other cells in the human body contain nuclear DNA. Also, all cells start with nuclear DNA. Nuclear DNA structure is a double helix, with two strands wound around each other, a structure first described by Francis Crick and James D. Watson (1953) using data collected by Rosalind Franklin. The reason for this is that DNA contains the basic code that tells each cell how to grow, function, and reproduce. Nuclear matrix proteins (NMPs) are part of the structural framework of the nucleus and provide support for the nuclear shape. These proteins have also been attributed roles in DNA replication, in ribonucleic acid transcription and in the regulation of gene expression. The nuclear matrix is a three-dimensional filamentous protein network, found in the nucleoplasm, which provides a structural framework for organising chromatin, while facilitating transcription and replication. Our cells contain Dictyostelium discoideum amoeba, as well as from cells embedded in soft three dimensional matrices [393,394].

As the importance of the role of the thymus has grown, so too has the understanding that it is extremely sensitive to both acute and chronic injury. The thymus undergoes rapid degeneration following a range of toxic insults, and as part of the aging process, albeit at a faster rate than many other tissues. The thymus is, however, capable of regenerating, restoring its function to a degree. [Retrieved from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4837659/]

Exaggerated or Hyperbolical Expression for Three Levine: Justifying, Indwelling and Saving All Things BY His LOVE & Your Faith
According to Mark Briscoe, Jesus experienced anger and grief. His anger was a righteous anger for it had selfless reasons. He experience grief when Lazarus died but not for Lazarus but for the people who loved Lazarus. He knew he would raise Lazarus. But looking at the people who wept he was grieved. And you find the shortest verse in the Bible. “Jesus wept.” He didnt feel shame or guilt for they imply He would have sinned.
Conscience is the built-in power of our minds to pass moral judgments on ourselves, approving or disapproving our feelings, actions, thoughts, and plans, and telling us, if what we have done is assessed as wrong, that we deserve to suffer for it. Conscience has in it two elements: an awareness of certain things as being right or wrong, and an ability to apply laws and rules to specific situations. Conscience insists on judging us, and insist on judging us by the highest standard we know. So we sometimes call it God’s voice in the soul, and in a sense it is.
Paul says that God has written a certain knowledge of His laws on every human heart [Rom. 2:14-15], and experience confirms this. But conscience can be misinformed, or conditioned to regard evil as good, or become seared and dull through repeated sin [1 Tim. 4:2]. The judgments of conscience are only to be received as God’s voice when they match God’s own truth and law in Scripture. The conscience must be educated to judge scripturaly.

What relationship do we have with Jesus?Jesus calls us “friend” in the Bible (John 15:15). A relationship with Him is a relationship of intimacy and security, of being totally known and totally accepted. It is not a relationship of equals, however. Jesus is fully God as well as fully man, and as such He remains Lord of heaven and Earth. [Retreieved from https://polishednetwork.org/blog/what-does-it-mean-to-have-a-relationship-with-jesus].

8 – Image 1.0 My ELBERT: Responsive Dysfunction (RSD) Checklist Functional Is A System Dominance Checklist illustration
“Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment” (Definition of Neuroplasticity, 2020). Also, I’m needing to mention developmental trauma and learning something new, switching content and context frequently!!
Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event: accident, rape, or [learning with trauma]. Immediately after the event, shock, and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea. A new study in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging has used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the effects of acute stress and “polyvictimization,” or repeated traumas, on three brain networks in adolescents. Findings: Stress and trauma during adolescence can lead to long-term health consequences such as psychiatric disorders, which may arise from neurodevelopmental effects on brain circuitry. [Retrieved from https://neurosciencenews.com/stress-teen-brain-20563/].
Specifically, the mental body is anger brain dominant and perceives in the heart everything related to learning with anger. The emotional body is shame brain dominant and perceives in the heart everything related to learning with shame. According to my good friend, Tom Heintz (An Emotional Code Practitioner-Creator of The Body Code) references Christine H., MS, LMHC (Hammond 2018), ‘Anxiety [anger and shame] is one emotion that can be passed down from one generation to the next. Also, there are 10 emotions that can also be inherited through family trauma, parental modeling, and/or abusive behaviors.’ For those who struggle with sensory triggers and learning stressors, like when experiencing reading or writing, these negatively perceived and filtered experiences with anger and shame, can cause a trauma type of developmental anxiety and sometimes even depression. [Generational Healing: “10 Emotions That Can Be Inherited.” The Body Emotions, thebodyemotions.com/10-emotions-that-can-be-inherited/].
In a study by conducted by Dahle et al. (2011), they found “between 17% and 24% of the boys with dyslexia were registered as anxious/depressed, with withdrawn behavior or somatic problems in the borderline and clinical areas” (p. 167). Another interesting point noted in this study by Undheim (as cited by Dahle et al., 2011) is that “teachers did not believe that they had dyslexia because their general achievement was too good” (p. 167). Dahle et al. (2011) tells us “behavior and emotional problems can be displayed differently in different settings, and it might be difficult for teachers to identify and be aware of internalizing problems in the classroom setting” (p. 168). [Retrieved from Dahle, A. E., Knivsberg, A.-M., & Andreassen, A. B. (2011). Coexisting problem behavior in severe dyslexia. Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 11(3), 162–170.] In 2018, I created My ELBERT Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD) Checklist, which is a Functional System Dominance Checklist. I have found in over 4 dozen students what I always knew; that they develop anger first, if not given a healthy, safe, and supportive environment for their anger. Also, anger can develop into shame. Then, the shame will be more dominant.
Therefore, My ELBERT is also a Learning Uniquinessess checklist and resources are important for those working with neurodifferences because shame is harder to address than anger. Shame is the defense for anger and survival (see Maslow Image 2.0a below) of some people before the point of safety. Some people though are less susceptible to shame and remain in anger. I have found more times than not where just anger has been marked; especially in younger students. Note: if anger and shame are not addressed at a young age, it can turn into hatred and grief. Also, anger appears anxiously (hyperarousal) and shame appears sadly depressed (hypoarousal) and both being varied arousal. Together with both anger and shame, someone can appear anxious and sad. With shame being the hardest, their body may appear calm but internally their mind can be ruminating on negative thoughts, feelings, ideas, and emotions which can be hard to know unless your child shares them with someone. This is why the checklist and interview is so important. I interview the students and their parents (teachers too preferably) where an [x] means most of the time in their learning environment and a [/] means some time in their learning environment (see image 1.0).
There are several other factors for successfully expelling learning apathy such as with gaining resilience (meaning), and motivation such as: sleep, diet, health and wellness, physical activity (body), regulation of vagus nerve (soul- body connection), sometimes even the spirit-soul-body connection (much older teens), gratitude including love of self and others (heart-connection). Also, the environment that most of us live in today causing sensory overload along to consistently multitasking and/or content & context-switching (handling 2 or more tasks at the same time) especially in this complex, non-connected (yet, connected), neurotoxic and EMF toxic infused environment- ALL decreasing our very own electromagnetism and vagal tone; all very much causing chaos in the mind.
What is the butterfly effect in simple terms? A property of chaotic systems (such as the learning atmosphere & the mind) by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system. The field of study of chaos has its roots in differential equations and dynamical systems, the very language that is used to describe how any physical system evolves in the real world. The story of chaos is step by step, from simple non-chaotic systems, to different types of attractors, to fractal spaces and the language of unpredictability. The deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable.[8][9] This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. In these cases, while it is often the most practically significant property, “sensitivity to initial conditions” need not be stated in the definition. The theory was summarized by Edward Lorenz as:[10] [Retrieved from https://interestingengineering.com/what-exactly-is-the-butterfly-effect; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory].

Note: The nuerodivergent thinking is not real linear-considered non-linear as well not being 1-3D but somewhere between. Note: Through equanimity (delight calm) it can become linear, but not in the sense most are used to. The neurodivergent are completely different paths and none being the same. So ask yourself, having choas in the mind a good or bad thing even though the body, mind, spirit may suffer for the neurodiverse? Is suffering good or bad? How many have a neurodiveregncy? Likewise, the neurodivergent have inattentional daydreaming—–a pleasant visionary usually wishful creation of the imagination through inspiration of some kind. As Jonathan Cahn (2016) states, “there are no accidents. If we go deeper, we find something beautiful.”

Vagus Nerve and Vibrating the Soma (HPA-anger) and Alta Major Chakra (ACC-shame)

“Exogenous prenatal risks are evident (e.g. valproate and toxic chemicals) or possible (e.g. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), and processes endogenous to the materno-foeto-placental unit (e.g. maternal diabetes, enhanced steroidogenic activities and maternal immune activation) likely heighten offspring vulnerability to ASC.” [Retrieved from https://acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jcpp.12501].
The steroidogenic pathways involve the synthesis of steroid hormones from cholesterol, known as steroidogenesis. The biosynthesis of steroid hormones in the adrenals, ovaries, testes, placenta, brain, and skin are regulated by tropic hormones and other signaling pathways. [Retrieved from https://fullscript.com/blog/steroidogenic-pathways-overview] SEE image below…Note: The thymus in turn appears to have some effect on adrenal function inas- much as thymectomy leads to enlargement of the adrenals The thymus is located in the upper part of the chest and produces white blood cells that fight infections and destroy abnormal cells. Adrenal gland. An adrenal gland is located on top of each kidney. Like many glands, the adrenal glands work hand-in-hand with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the augmentation of thymic products (by injections of thymus extracts) causes a partial adrenal atrophy.
See THYMUS (high heart): drenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of both kidneys. Adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions. [see Thymus above…Retrieved from HERE].

Corpus Callosum- Crown Chakra
Corpus callosum- links both hemispheres and to varying degrees. Hence, students might have a lateral cognitive dominance of the functioning system- the students with the right-hemisphere dominance have Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) and might have dysphonetic dyslexia because language and analysis (break down category and sequencing) which is a left-hemisphere task: therefore, students with right-hemisphere dominance might have high functioning autism, can have language deficits such as dsyphonetic (auditory) dyslexia.
The vagus nerve- is one of the cranial nerves that connect the brain to the body. More specifically, it’s the connection between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, the vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brainstem to the body and vagal nerves carry somatic and visceral afferents that can alter the activity of the brainstem at the point of the reticular activation centers (RAS). Remember the CAN: RAS & ACC (shame)/HPA (anger) also allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of the body’s different functions and matters of the mind including the perceptions and filters of the parasympathetic (shame), sympathetic (anger) & total (anger/shame) response system during stress such as reading. When you activate the chakras (energy centers-wheels, major 8 and soma/alta major- HPA (anger)/ACC(shame)) and normalize, balance the vagal tone and electromagnetic field, it will stop the “epigenome” which are again the collection of chemicals markers (focus: inherently dyslexia). This interruption allows the body to then calm, be healthy, resilient, gain positive attitudes (joy, bliss, and happiness) and make learning more pleasurable and effective; therefore, also the Reticular Activating System (RAS) needs to be activated via the vagus nerve (thymus- vagus nerve chakra).
The ascending reticular activating system (ARAS-THYMUS, & PONS, RAS/GUT,- chakras 13+) itself is on the cerebral cortex and is responsible for the achievement of super consciousness (higher transpersonal self) . Note: The ARAS doesn’t fully develop in the brain until variably, around the ages 21–24 years old (Fowler, J.W. 1998). [“Fowler Faith Stages.” Encyclopedia of the Sciences of Learning, 2012, pp. 1323–1323., doi:10.1007/978-1-4419-1428-6_].
Jamieson, Mendes, Blackstock, and Schmader (2009) studies demonstrate instructions for the other group of students stated that people often feel anxiety during test taking but did not suggest how to reinterpret this experience. The results of this manipulation were striking. Students who were told how to “reappraise” the feelings they experienced during the test had significantly better performance on the math section of the practice GRE in the laboratory compared to students who were not told how to interpret their anxiety. Knowing how to reappraise or reinterpret the arousal experienced during testing appears to have had a dramatic effect on performance.30
However, the processes are also “top down” because the amygdala depends on input from the cerebral cortex to evaluate information as threatening or benign. As this example of bi-directionality in the nervous system suggests, emotion and cognition are so intertwined that disentangling them is rarely practical or useful. 28

NOTE:
For Language, in the human brain, processes speech sounds and interconnects auditory cortex with frontal lobe regions important for language. Although only humans have speech and language, the link via the auditory pathway in other primates suggests an evolutionary basis in auditory cognition and vocal communication. According to findings, the different parts of the inferior parietal lobe (IPL) specialize in different cognitive functions – such as attention, language, and social cognition, with the latter reflecting the ability for perspective taking. Inferior Parietal Lobe The inferior parietal lobe is a posterior region of the brain that is most well-known for its role in visuospatial processing.

Also, Note: The left and right side of the cortex are not equally thick in younger brains – a phenomenon called “cortical asymmetry”. Asymmetry is seemingly a good thing, as it allows the brain to function optimally, as the left and right brain are specialized to do slightly different jobs. The researchers found cortical asymmetry is lost as we age, proving that the two sides of the brain deteriorate at different rates. In the exact same brain regions as in normal aging, they found the left side of the brain shrinks faster in Alzheimer’s disease.

Unilateral Neglect (or Hemispatial Neglect)/Total Functioning System Dominance (TFD)- student might have high-functioning autism along with other learning differences (below). Someone prominent in right-brain (ACC) has an unawareness of objects to one side of the body or personal space. In severe cases, a side can be completely ignored when carrying out certain tasks and everyday functions such as writing, so may have dysgraphia. But another important brain function is controlled by either the right side of your brain or the left side of your brain, depending on your handedness.
Sympathetic Functioning System Dominance (SFD) student has total (see below) or left corpus callosum dysfunction then having a total right or left-lateral hemisphere dominance (HPA), evaluation (specifically color, shape, size & dimension) is a right-hemisphere task; those with a Sympathetic Functioning System Dominance (SFD) therefore, might have autism, Irlen Syndrome, and dsyeidetic (visual) dyslexia.
Unilateral Neglect (or Hemispatial Neglect)/Total Functioning System Dominance (TFD)- students might have autism (lower functioning) along with other learning differences (below). Someone with dominant frontal lobe or the (left) dominant temporal lobe (SFD) can cause a condition called aphasia, which is a serious disturbance of speech and communication.
Functional Disconnection/ Complete Functioning System Dominance Syndrome when the short-term memory aka “working memory” is not equalized, then the information being led by the Corpus Colosseum to the frontal lobe for executive functioning becomes deficient- when in adults hatred and grief are involved. Whether the Corpus Colosseum is underdeveloped or deficient in its development for example: there can be blockage, protein folding, insufficient synapse development (premature pruning), poor fluid to transfer synapse message, etc. Also, if the Corpus Colosseum, the “short term memory” is compromised this is also known as Mixed Brain Dominance or dysphasia and forms of autism.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) and Vibrating the Alta Major Chakra for Shame
The Cinguate Gyrus (CAN)- is a large arch-like lobe in the center of the inner brain that is a part of the limbic system; it houses the organs and their interactions constitute the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC-shame) and the main function of this area of the brain functions to process conscious emotional experience and the parasympathetic nervous system (right side). The ACC plays an important part of conscious reappraisal of emotions such as shame/empathy and anger/strength for the ARAS (Super conscious). Note: The amygdala, bulb at bottom not shown in pic.., is where The Cinguate Gyrus (CAN) first receives perceptions from the mind via the thymus, via the peripheral cranial/CNS nerves, then onto the ACC. A hyper-, hypo- amygdala works harder and the VACC can get dysregulated (shame mainly). The exact role of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC-shame) in executive functions is still debated, with most prominent theories suggesting a role in cognitive control, including error detection, conflict monitoring, and/or task switching [Retrieved from https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2010.00158/full].

These organs and their interactions constitute the HPA (anger) axis, a major neuroendocrine system that controls reactions to stress and regulates many body processes, including digestion, the immune system and the sympathetic nervous system (frontal lobe/left side).

Mind You Again: The Mind & Identify “Why” the Emotions doing PYAM (Prayer, Yoga, Affirmations & Mediations)
With just a Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (SFD), they perceive in the mind everything with anger during stressful experiences. When they have a Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD), in the mind, they filter and attune themselves to everything with shame. When we have both anger and shame in the mind (see child sample above), this is called a Total Learning System Dysfunction (TLSD) which creates: this creates almost complete soul-body disconnect (dysregulation) due to constant learning aka cognitive speed shifting (hyper-. hypo-, and varied) which tires out the brain’s (RAS) Rectangular Activation System (chakras 6-8th including soma and alta-major chakras), Pons (crown chakra), and Thymus (vagus nerve chakra) much quicker than the aligned and balanced learning brain and body which, in turn, lessens neuroplasticity. When our very own DNA generationally predispositions with dysfunctions of the Rectangular Activation System, Pons, and Thymus and for learning differences (anger and shame predispositions), ALL our systems and senses can have any dysfunctions, and therefore, we can actually have body-soul disconnection in the mind!
δίδωμι (Strong’s #1325 — Verb — didomi — did’-o-mee ) “to give,” is rendered “bestow” in 1 John 3:1 , the implied idea being that of giving freely. The AV has it in 2 Corinthians 8:1; the RV adheres to the lit. rendering, “the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.” See ADVENTURE and especially GIVE.
Mind you again, learning apathy is complicated and that the spirit-soul-body/connection-trust-love disconnection causes maladjustment and belonging in this world. Don’t worry, our spirit, soul, and body connection can also be complicated to a point, if we understand that we are love and not meant for fear. Think about it this way, when your child has a Hypo or Hyper, Total Responsive System Dysfunction (TRSD), their learning decreases due to disconnections to others-themselves, soul-body disconnection of consciousness, perceptions of anger/shame along with assimilation (meaning and motivation) of those perceptions. Sadly, the students who have TRSD dysfunctions, they can become labelled Learning Disabled amongst other labels. Therefore, they are not learning effectively, cognitively, or behaviorally on a conscious level nor helped in a way that is revolutionary nor effective. There’s always hope and faith in their spiritual growth by doing PYAM (Prayer, Yoga, Affirmations & Mediations)…

(RAS- HPA & ACC) The Body & Breath of Jesus (1st-3rd chakras)= Minister of The Word
- The ETHOS- “the what” is the RAS= HPA & ACC (body & brain= brain stem) processing side and short-term memory- it’s the present and the arousal of the limbic cortex such as: ACC- amygdala, and the hippocampus. It is where our dreams come into our reality and then onto fruition, need healing to have grace and mercy and shame or fear can prohibit. Correlated with chakras 6–8th so needing empathy.
(PONS) The Heart & Breath of Holy Ghost (4-6th chakras)= Ministry of The Spirit
- The PATHOS- “the why” is the Pons (body & mind = midbrain) which is a small part of the brain above the pons that integrates sensory information and relays it upward (RAS). Similar to the RAS, it is responsible for arousal (hyper-, hypo-, and varied) and plays a role in mood. In terms of long–term physiological changes, it is also associated with long-term memory- it’s the past and the future. This is also where dreams are centered based on our thymus and what we focus on or need healing to become pure and blameless. It is where our dreams come into our reality and then onto fruition, and grief and hatred can prohibit. Correlated with chakras 1st-8th so needing courage and compassion.
(THYMUS- “The Leb”) The Mind & Soul-Spirit Connection of God (7-12th chakras)= Peace From God
- THE Authentic Self (the true question/answer) is the Thymus (high heart & mind= soul) a connection of perception between all affective and behavioral cognitive experiences on a cellular level (cellular memory) including the mainstream universal emotions of anger, strength, joy, bliss, shame, empathy, courage, compassion, might, and harmony and relays it upward (PONS). It’s also where you can find the “imagination” and “intelligence” that lies within all of us of God’s Will. It’s removed veil and divine nature “God’s Divine Nature” With-In Ourselves (described here). This is where the God’s mind creates our purpose by filtering, interpreting our world and experiences which in turn creates our dreams into reality of miracles and blessings and Nothing Can Prohibit IF RECEIVED GOD.

The Reticular Activating System (RAS)- Ras/ HPA & ACC/Gut – to know, perceive, recognize, have, aware, cognizant, do laugh, reverence, ask, repent, reconciliation which is a network of neurons (hyper-, hypo-, or, varied) located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalmus to mediate behavior such as sleep, memory, and learning; as well as, both posteriorly to the and directly to the cortex for activation of awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns. The reticular formation (part of pons-see below) is a set of interconnected nuclei that are located throughout the brain stem. It is not anatomically well-defined, because it includes neurons located in different parts of the brain. The neurons of the reticular formation make up a complex set of networks in the core of the brain stem that extend from the upper part of the midbrain to the lower part of the medulla oblongata. The reticular formation includes ascending pathways to the cortex in the ascending reticular activating system and descending pathways to the spinal cord via the reticulospinal tracts. [2] It is holistically and spiritually known from being a center “where we can create our own reality” whether positive, negative, or neutral. Knowing: What we focus on in our mind (thymus), pons (dream center) then comes to fruition here in our RAS. The reticular activating system’s fundamental role is regulating arousal and sleep−wake transitions. The ascending projections of the reticular activating system enhance the attentive state of the cortex and facilitate conscious perception of sensory stimuli.

The GUT- The SECOND Brain & Solar Plexus
The gut consist of 75% of our immune system, and the microbiome refers to the collective genomes of the micro-organisms in a particular environment, and microbiota is the community of micro-organisms themselves (box 1). Approximately 100 trillion micro-organisms (most of them bacteria, but also viruses, fungi, and protozoa) exist in the human gastrointestinal tract12—the microbiome is now best thought of as a virtual organ of the body. The human genome consists of about 23 000 genes, whereas the microbiome encodes over three million genes producing thousands of metabolites, which replace many of the functions of the host,13 consequently influencing the host’s fitness, phenotype, and health.2
The human body is composed of a complex biological system; with over 90% of microbiota cells and 10 million microbiota genes (1), it possesses over 100 trillion bacteria, 10 times the number of human body cells, 150 times the number of human genes, 1,000 species and over 7,000 strains (2).

According to several studies, there is considerable evidence showing that the gut microbiome not only affects the digestive, metabolic, and immune functions of the host but also regulates host sleep and mental states through the microbiome-gut-brain axis. Preliminary evidence indicates that microorganisms and circadian genes can interact with each other. The characteristics of the gastrointestinal microbiome and metabolism are related to the host’s sleep and circadian rhythm. Moreover, emotion and physiological stress can also affect the composition of the gut microorganisms. The gut microbiome and inflammation may be linked to sleep loss, circadian misalignment, affective disorders, and metabolic disease.

Stress also exerts a great influence on the functions of our immune system: if the immune system is somehow compromised and cannot properly cope with physicochemical stresses [such as food/nutrition, noise, pollution, metabolic disorder, infection, and inflammation], or if the stress exceeds the regular adaptability of the immune system, this leads to diseased states that may develop into fatal conditions.

The level of dopamine in the brain may have an impact on emotional recognition in those with Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia, a new study reports. Emotion recognition among people with disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or schizophrenia may be affected by changes in the levels of dopamine in the brain, say researchers at the University of Birmingham. Dopamine is a chemical messenger – often known as the ‘happy hormone’ – that carries signals controlling mental and emotional responses in the brain. Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders are known for their links with low or disrupted dopamine levels that cause those affected to struggle with a number of social skills. This is the first time, however, that a positive connection has been made between dopamine and the ability to recognize emotions in others.

Linguists are interested in language for its own sake, as a complex product of the human mind. They are also interested in how language develops in children, how it changes over time, and how it is used in human society. Furthermore, Neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel has pointed out that our brains are different because of the number of neurons packed into our skulls — it’s less about the size of our brains. The density of that packing, and the ensuing neuronal connections this density allows for, gives rise to our ability to acquire language from birth and use it till death. She assumes that the main function of the brain is to regulate our bodies as we move through life. That means that at every given moment, our brains assess our hunger, threat levels, etc. to figure out how much energy we need to get through the day. Thinking and cognitive perception are secondary products of how our brain responds predicatively to our environment. If the grammatical system is a resource that the brain uses depending on context, then our emotions and identity can also affect how we use grammar. This is precisely what we have found.

‘T cells are critical to the adaptive immune system’: Stopping Inflamation and Even Damage
The collaboration between Professor Adrian Liston (Babraham Institute) and Professor Matthew Holt (VIB and KU Leuven; i3S-University of Porto) has produced a targeted delivery system for boosting the numbers of specialized anti-inflammatory immune cells specifically within the brain to restrict brain inflammation and damage. The research team found that regulatory T cell numbers were low in the brain because of a limited supply of the crucial survival molecule interleukin 2, also known as IL2. Levels of IL2 are low in the brain compared to the rest of the body as it can’t pass the blood-brain barrier. Together the team devised a new therapeutic approach that allows more IL2 to be made by brain cells, thereby creating the conditions needed by regulatory T cells to survive. A ‘gene delivery’ system based on an engineered adeno-associated viral vector (AAV) was used: this system can actually cross an intact blood brain barrier and deliver the DNA needed for the brain to produce more IL2 production.

The thymus is a specialized primary lymphoid organ of the immune system. Within the thymus, thymus cell lymphocytes or T cells mature. T cells are critical to the adaptive immune system (also see RAS-GUT), where the body adapts specifically to foreign invaders. The thymus is located in the upper front part of the chest, in the anterior superior mediastinum, behind the sternum, and in front of the heart. It is made up of two lobes, each consisting of a central medulla and an outer cortex, surrounded by a capsule. [2] The thymus is instrumental in the production and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells, a specific type of white blood cell that protects the body from certain threats, including viruses and infections; It plays a role in immunity, autoimmunity, and aging (it’s basically our twin flame and fountain of youth).

Thymus Ancient Extracellular Signaling Molecule Matrix (ECM)
The thymus includes ancient extracellular signalling molecules which are cues, such as growth factors, hormones, cytokines, extracellular matrix components and neurotransmitters, designed to transmit specific information to target cells. Increasing knowledge about the roles of extracellular matrix and its components in the nervous system development and disease is important from the therapeutic viewpoint. Activation of signaling cascades underlying reorganization of the extracellular matrix and stimulation of neuronal plasticity is an achievable goal and a promising approach for treatment of acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. Recent data suggest that extracellular matrix proteases modifying cell recognition molecules on the neuronal surface, modulate synaptogenesis and plasticity during development and neurorepair.

As well, sympathetic [Anger] innervation of the thymus originates from the superior cervical and stellate ganglion. These fibers travel in a plexus along large blood vessels until they enter the thymic capsule. Parasympathetic fibers [Shame] arise from the vagus, recurrent laryngeal, and phrenic nerves. Several rodent studies have found that thymocytes respond to stimuli via norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, neuropeptide Y, vasoactive intestinal peptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and substance P.[2][6][2] [Retrieved from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539748/].
Research on the molecular and cellular basis of learning and memory has focused on the mechanisms that underlie the induction and expression of synaptic plasticity. There is increasing evidence that structural changes at the synapse are associated with synaptic plasticity and that extracellular matrix (ECM) components and cell adhesion molecules are associated with these changes (Retrieved from HERE).

The Thymus aka Leb, Lebab Cont.
The leb is “:The Veil”, of the five senses, also what enters the body, and absolutely essential for physical life and health, so too a healthy spiritual heart (mind (intellect), emotion (imagination), will (“ego”-good/love & bad/fear)) is at the center of one’s inner being (soul) is vital for a healthy soul, serving as the “fountain” of all moral attitudes and actions. The invisible realm of the spirit is as real as the visible world. In fact, the Scripture tells us that it is even more real (Hebrews 11:3). And just as God gave us five natural senses to interact with the physical world, He gave us five spiritual senses to connect with the supernatural world. The Leb- high heart, mind and “the gut” which is the bodily organ by means of which the raw data of experience is shaped into thoughts, concepts, or judgments. https://www.preceptaustin.org/heart_leb?fbclid=IwAR3sxBfseZ2LTzssTfOghYI_kfM-mtglVqyEqG3W7xAPJIQt3uODG9GjNdk
The puritan, John Flavel said, it’s light of the understanding, recognitions of the memory, seat of principles and the fountain of actions. John MacArthur – The “heart” commonly refers to the mind as the center of thinking and reason (Pr 3:3; 6:21;7:3), but also includes the emotions (Pr 15:15, 30), the will (Pr 11:20; 14:14), and thus, the whole inner being (Pr 3:5). The leb aka heart and mind carries along several other organs of the body (cf. ear and eyes already in Pr 4:20, 21) mentioned frequently in wisdom instruction: mouth, lips, and eyes (parallel to “eyelids” or “orbs” in Pr 4:25), mouth, lips, and even the foot and hand. The heart is the depository of all wisdom and the source of whatever affects speech (Pr 4:24), sight (Pr 4:25), and conduct (Pr 4:26, 27).

PTSD- Many advances in science have been made in the last decade to better explain the pathogenesis of PTSD. Advances in the brain imaging method have allowed us to study changes in patients’ brains in a non-invasive way. Recent studies have observed the activity or morphology changes of several brain regions in patients with PTSD, including the prefrontal lobe, amygdala, hippocampus. However, it is still unclear how these changes in brain regions are linked to PTSD. Further research needs to be conducted to understand the function of brain regions during the development of PTSD. Also, people can develop PTSD, depression, or both as a result of a major traumatic event. The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA axis) may play an important role in such a difference (see HPA and anger above).

Pathological Demand Avoidance of PDA is becoming more widely recognized as a distinct profile of autism. British psychologist Elizabeth Newson came up with this term which describes an anxiety-driven need to be in control and avoid other people’s demands and expectations. Demand avoidance in the PDA profile looks different from what others on the autism spectrum experience because of its extreme nature and obsessive quality. Research done at the University of Newcastle in November 2016 found that Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) was also associated with PDA, in fact even stronger than anxiety.

The gut microbiota is associated with…The gut microbiota forms part of a complex network termed the microbiota-gut-brain axis along with the enteric nervous system, sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, neuroendocrine and neuroimmune components the central nervous system. The gut microbiota is associated with neuropsychiatric disorder such as schizophrenia, autistic disorders, anxiety disorders, major depression and bipolar disorder. Major depressive disorder is a stress-related mood disorder associated with a disrupted HPA axis, and evidence suggests that the gut microbiota play a key role in modulating depression. Bipolar disorder is a severe psychiatric disorder with dysfunctions of neuroimmune system which also suggest the brain-gut-microbiota axis is an important physiological mechanism. (See Dysautonomia, HPA and anger above).
Communication from gut to brain occurs through tryptophan, an essential building block of serotonin. Serotonin is key in regulating mood, eating, and sleep patterns. There is limited storage capacity for tryptophan in the brain, and a constant supply is required from the gut. It was once believed that tryptophan came strictly from diet alone, but what research has shown is that gut microbiota, particularly Bifidobacterium, produces tryptophan and increases its levels in the bloodstream. This study below has since been replicated, adding to global evidence linking the microbiome-gut-brain axis to stress and mental health disorders. Low diversity in the gut microbiota is now considered a significant biomarker for major depressive disorder. Other mental health and neurodegenerative disorders with significant microbiome-gut-brain ties include: post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, and autism. The microbiome-gut-brain axis also plays a critical role in irritable bowel syndrome, and in understanding the link between mental health disorders and physical illness, such as depression or anxiety co-occurring with inflammatory bowel disease.

Most people are unaware of the connection between dyslexia and ADD or ADHD. It has been estimated that between 30 – 60% of kids with dyslexia also have either ADD or ADHD.
“Challenges with processing emotions start in the brain itself. Sometimes the working memory impairments of ADHD allow a momentary emotion to become too strong, flooding the brain with one intense emotion.” Thomas Brown, Ph.D.
Brain imaging studies demonstrate that chemicals that activate reward-recognizing circuits in the brain tend to bind on significantly fewer receptor sites in people with ADHD than do those in a comparison group. People with ADHD are less able to anticipate pleasure or register satisfaction with tasks for which the payoff is delayed.
Few doctors factor in emotional challenges when making an ADHD diagnosis. In fact, current diagnostic criteria for ADHD include no mention of “problems with emotions.” At other times, working memory impairments leave the person with insufficient sensitivity to the importance of a particular emotion because he or she hasn’t kept other relevant information in mind. Challenges with emotions start in the brain itself. Sometimes the working memory impairments of ADHD allow a momentary emotion to become too strong, flooding the brain with one intense emotion [emotional intensity or insensitivity]. At other times, the person with ADHD seems insensitive or unaware of the emotions of others. Brain connectivity networks carrying information related to emotion seem to be somewhat more limited in individuals with ADHD.
Gifted & Talented Plus 2e
The term “twice-exceptional,” also referred to as “2e,” is used to describe gifted children who, have the characteristics of gifted students with the potential for high achievement and give evidence of one or more disabilities as defined by federal or state eligibility criteria. These disabilities may include specific learning disabilities (SpLD), speech and language disorders, emotional/behavioral disorders, physical disabilities, autism spectrum, or other impairments such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) [Retrieved from https://www.nagc.org/resources-publications/resources-parents/twice-exceptional-students.
Emotional Intensity (see pons above and insensitive below)- It is characterized by heightened and intense feelings, a constant stream of both positive and negative feelings – pain, distress, despair, fear, excitement, love, sadness or happiness – sometimes a mixture of many at the same time; For my program, it’s mainly: anger, shame, happiness (joy), grief, courage (might), and harmony!
Emotionally overexcitable (OE) is often the first to be noticed by parents. It is reflected in heightened, intense feelings, extremes of complex emotions, identification with others’ feelings, and strong affective expression (Piechowski, 1991). Other manifestations include physical responses like stomachaches and blushing or concern with death and depression (Piechowski, 1979). Emotionally overexcitable people have a remarkable capacity for deep relationships; they show strong emotional attachments to people, places, and things (Dabrowski & Piechowski, 1977). They have compassion, empathy, and sensitivity in relation-ships. Those with strong Emotional OE are acutely aware of their own feelings, of how they are growing and changing, and often carry on inner dialogs and practice self-judgment (Piechowski, 1979, 1991). Children high in Emotional OE‚ are often accused of “overreacting.” Their compassion and concern for others, their focus on relationships, and the intensity of their feelings may interfere with everyday tasks like homework or doing the dishes.

Two Types Of Literacy Intervention Learners, I Observed That Go Most Unrecognized In Their Gifts:
- The Students with the “Engineering Mind”: a student who spends hours taking things apart and putting them back together, creating things, assembling and un-assembling ex. legos, blocks. They are setting things apart to see how they can fix them, problem-solution thinkers (descibed above). They are are natural engineers. It is inherent in their curious nature. As they grow, almost instinctively they show great interest in shapes (using evaluation kills descibed above) and numbers. They tend to be shy and seems to have a different cognitive processing speed: https://www.edsurge.com/news/2022-04-05-students-have-different-thinking-speeds-inclusive-teaching-means-realizing-that.
- The Students with the “Technical Mind”: is what I describe as a “technical thinker” (similar to the “engineering minded” with divergent abilities). They can or tend to understand/provide complex information to readers/listeners in a way that they can understand and apply, even if they don’t have prior knowledge of the topic; Yet, they are truly interest-based learners at the same time. “Technical thinkers” can explain, especially verbally with a rather large lexicon knowledge, how a particular subject works or how and what’s needed to complete a task or project including: list-form, divergent, systematic thinking and somewhat linear-so they can express the topic that can be structured in the following step-by-step instructions. Note: sometimes needed to be given the “right tools for analysis” in order to express/communicate to others. This is my job! Note: I have noticed both of these types are “doers” and need autonomy (avoid disparagement); They need to be independently doing something to learn and apply their divergent reasoning (opposite of typical scientific method observing (first), then hypothesis.theory and test by moving, touching, following interest, writing something technical, application of skills, etc..). They, as well, can have a learning difference (neurodiversity). They are also “strong willed” and know technically what they have “in mind” to work on, so please let them be autonomous and independent in their work. They may have a strong purpose in their special interest that could change problems to the world!! As well, a possibly sensory processing sensitivity (SPS, as measured by the highly sensitive self-test), which corresponds most closely in theory to what we refer to as “hypersensitivity” or “high sensitivity”–check out sensitivity as a personality trait bearing the following characteristics
- :greater depth of information processing (see learning types below)
- heightened emotional reactivity and empathy (emotional intensity)
- increased awareness of subtle changes in one’s environment (divergent thinking/reasoning)
- greater propensity for overstimulation (see overexcitabilies)
- Read here …See My work HERE. Lastly, I observe these gifts, learning types mostly in my Gifted and Talented and/or Twice Exceptional with overexcitabilies!! Does this describe your child? Ask me about “The Steve Jobs” type (strong see overexcitabilies and early dev. in logical-mathemtaical thinking); “The Tom Cruise” type (strong see overexcitabilies and early dev. in emotions/drama); “The Richard Branson” type (strong see overexcitabilies and early dev. in entrepreneurship/creativity); “Einstein” type (strong see all overexcitabilies and early dev. in science specially physics) along with more excentricities:
Speaking of emotional intensity, maybe you are seeing symptoms manifesting in your child or student already. Your, once, delightful child/student has suddenly increased complaints of:
• Disorganization
• Stomach Aches
• Hives
• Lack of Focus
• Shortened Attention Spans
• Destroying Their Pencils
• Sleep or Digestive Problems
Manifesting in:
• Depression
• Memory Problems
• Cries Easily
• Anger
• Sadness
• Shame,
• Problems With Authority…etc.
It’s frustrating. It’s humiliating. It’s exhausting. And sometimes it feels like no matter how much time you spend reassuring yourself and your child or student they seem to be falling further and further behind.

Rejection (Anger/Shame) & Abandonment (Hatred/Grief): Causing Injury to Spirit & Soul
In case you are not completely sure about the difference between the two; the spirit is our power source. When we die, our spirits leave our bodies. Our spirit has emotions and memories and is where we experience God’s presence. Our soul is our mind, will, and emotions. This part of us dies with our bodies, though the memories are still carried in our spirit. Given that we have two different operating systems, it is no wonder that God’s word acts as a sword to divide soul and spirit. [Retrieved from https://www.facebook.com/poemachronicles/posts/3048764585446073]
I believe it is important to make distinctions between the two, in part because healing from each of them takes different approaches. Soulish wounds are common and are often in the realm of what I call experiential knowledge. We get our feelings hurt, and forgiveness or repentance helps to heal the pain. Sometimes facing the injuries in our soul is a necessary growth experience. Facing our fears, learning to handle anger, and controlling our responses to emotional pain are an integral part of the maturing process.
Injuries of the spirit, however, are more difficult to locate and more difficult to heal. In order to fully explore this kind of injury, the nature of the spirit must be understood. Our spirits are our life source. When we become born again, it happens in the arena of the spirit. God unplugs from our human power source and plugs into His power. It is in our spirits that we feel God’s presence and hear His voice. Injuries to our spirits can interrupt our ability to experience God fully, though not always.

Most of our thoughts and actions are driven by pre-conscious processes. We speculate that continuous sensory input will induce gamma band activity in the RAS (BIBLE STUDY) that could participate in the processes of pre-conscious awareness, and provide the essential stream of information for the formulation of many of our actions.

Anhedonia presents itself in a myriad of disease processes. Anhedonia is the inability to feel pleasure. It’s a common symptom of depression, as well as other mental health disorders. Most people understand what pleasure feels like. They expect certain things in life to make them happy, causing temporal sins and suffer from “mental attitude sin”.

Definition of insensitive
: lacking feeling or tact
: not responsive or susceptible
Basically, I’ve observed learning apathy when just stop caring for others and having emotional agility- They may believe nothing matters especially learning and school; as someone anonymous had written to me, ‘their soul implodes upon itself’!! There’s a lot to be said for Maria Montessori’s observations of trusting the universe along with ‘the child’. If we love and trust our children, this becomes their inner thoughts, ideas, feeling, intents, dreams, and perspectives. When they trust their own mind (including feelings, emotions, thoughts, ideas, perceptions), they can experience the “gifts of dyslexia” and learn anything the way they learn best.
NOTE: “ When your child has a Hypo- or Hyper-, Varied Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD), their learning and motivation (attunement) through their senses decreases due to disconnections to others-themselves along with soul-body disconnection…”. Also, “Relative to the hippocampus, these memories are then stored as polarities in the brain-experiences and reality of consciousness in the past, future, and present.

Disorders of consciousness (DOC) along with Total Functional Dominance System (TFD), in my mind, means the leb is not matured, complete, and unstable leading to unstable health and wellness which lends to diseases, illnesses, learning differences and overall problems and complications in peoples’ lives. Their body, soul, and spirit are disconnected to God and not fully conscious (see Universal/Supra Causal Self: Miracles and Blessings: Supra-Mundane God- https://tcooktutor.edublogs.org/).
One cause of spiritual apathy is sin in the believer’s life. When David sinned, he felt separated from God (Psalm 51:11). As he confessed his sin to God, David prayed for God to “renew a steadfast spirit” within him (verse 10), and he had this request: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me” (verse 12). A believer who feels spiritually apathetic should confess any known sin and ask for God’s cleansing and renewal. [Retrieved from https://www.gotquestions.org/spiritual-apathy.html].

NEEDING TO BE ADDRESSED- Learning Differences including Our Electromagnetic System
All of our senses and corresponding systems give us vital information about our surroundings. Our EM field gives us “sense” included in our interoception and exteroception. Exteroception is sensitivity to stimuli originating outside of the body (Hyper-, Hypo-, Varied). Sensitivity, sensitiveness, sensibility – (physiology) responsiveness to external stimuli; the faculty of sensation; “sensitivity to pain” visual modality, visual sense, vision, sight – the ability to see; the visual faculty. Interoception is the perception of sensations from inside the body and includes the perception of physical sensations related to internal organ function such as heartbeat, respiration, satiety, as well as the autonomic nervous system activity related to emotions (Vaitl 1996; Cameron 2001; Craig 2002; Barrett et al 1997). As well as, our EM and Torsion Field is “our senses” not what we think of as senses as the vehicle (ear, eyes, nose, mouth, skin, balance) that sends messages through our nerve endings, CNS and then to the brain. Our EM and Torsion Field, you will read more on later, includes our chakra system. These senses depend very closely on the thymus, ‘our mind’ to make sense of our own world and experiences, including relationships with others. Our senses give us our perceptions of our universal emotions, plus, are we going to live in fear or love. Our senses include our cellular memory and how we act. Again, for the divergent thinker it is where our mind consciousness makes our decisions, not logic.

“Just as He gave us five natural senses, God also created us with five spiritual senses. In these lessons, Patricia King helps you cultivate your spiritual senses and mentors you in how to see, hear, feel, taste and smell more of the supernatural realm that is all around you. This course is not just about acquiring knowledge, it is meant to be a doorway to encounters that will answer the cry of your heart to know Him and His Kingdom more fully and intimately.” Patricia King
What is the law of conservation of energy? It states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. I need for you to think about the universal emotions as energy that can be transformed or changed amongst being hereditarily passed down through generations and stored in the thymus (vagus nerve chakra) as well as translate into our very own DNA. Electromagnetic energy is part of our quantum-self; there are three forms of electromagnetic energy: visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Let’s focus on 7 spheres of invisible light converted into visible light and ‘as you focus, so you are there in superconsciousness’ (see below) as 5 dimensional light- Glory and Victory.

Solution to DISCONNECT- SOUL IS TO BE GODLY TRAINING- To Him Be The Glory
The Solution: When using the etherical body, ALL our faculties, systems, and senses will function equalized, activated, and balanced. The triune brain needs to be working in an upward function (no longer perform in a protective function). With a functional upward system, the child [or adult] can trust themselves and their gifts and learning uniquenesses through spiritual mindset with self-directed neuroplasticity through ABC’s and atonement meaning God awareness (eventually unity) through PYAM Daily. They’re offered the freedom arising from conditions within the brain, senses, or sense organs and not directly caused not by external stimuli but the knowing with-in themselves which is patience for understanding and trusting in their subjective, divergent mind.

The Holy Place represents the Soul of man (1 Thessalonians 5:23), and the three items of furniture (i.e., Golden Lampstand (1), Table of Showbread (1), Golden Altar of Incense (1)) in the Holy Place represent the process that will lead to this Truth transformation. Therefore, the Holy Place’s “Curtain Screen” symbolically represents Jesus as “The Truth” (John 14:6). “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV
“indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,” Proverbs 2:3 NIV then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.” Proverbs 2:5 NIV “And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.” https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/111/GEN.2.9.NIV
Wisdom from the Holy Spirit- thus, the whole inner being (Pr 3:5). The “leb” aka heart and mind carries along several other organs of the body (cf. ear and eyes already in Pr 4:20, 21) mentioned frequently in wisdom instruction: mouth, lips, and eyes (parallel to “eyelids” or “orbs” in Pr 4:25) and bring righteousness, humility, and discernment as a fruit of the Spirit:

The veil separating the Holy Place- “Inner Santuary” from the Most Holy Place is also symbolic of man’s spiritual heart [aka Thymus] (1). Man’s spiritual heart connects the spirit and the soul, similar to the physical brain connecting the body and a man’s soul (Hebrews 4:12). The Holy of Holies represents the Spirit of man (1 Thessalonians 5:23). This is where God the Holy Spirit dwells in the Christian upon salvation (aka, baptized with the Holy Spirit) (1). The church of Jesus Christ is a spiritual temple made of “living stones . . .

Prayers Two Types Related To Iniquity (Generational Anger & Shame) HERE
FERVENT PRAYER (Fervent, Fervently) A — 1: ἐκτενής (Strong’s #1618 — Adjective — ektenes — ek-ten-ace’ ) denotes “strained, stretched” (ek, “out,” teino, “to stretch”); hence, metaphorically, “fervent,” 1 Peter 4:8 . Some mss. have it in Acts 12:5 , for the adverb (see B). Cp. ekteneia (with en), “intently, strenuously,” in Acts 26:7 , AV, “instantly,” RV, “earnestly.” Cp. EARNEST. B — 1: ἐκτενῶς (Strong’s #1619 — Adverb — ektenos — ek-ten-oce’ ) “fervently” (akin to A), is said of love, in 1 Peter 1:22; of prayer, in some mss. Acts 12:5 (see under A); for the comparative degree in Luke 22:44 , see EARNESTLY. C — 1: ζέω (Strong’s #2204 — Verb — zeo — dzeh’-o ) “to be hot, to boil” (Eng. “zeal” is akin), is metaphorically used of “fervency” of spirit, Acts 18:25; Romans 12:11 . Notes: (1) In Colossians 4:12 , the verb agonizomai, “to strive,” is translated “laboring fervently,” AV (RV, “striving”). (2) In 2 Corinthians 7:7 , the noun zelos, “zeal” (akin to C.), is translated “fervent mind,” AV (RV, “zeal”). (3) In James 5:17 , “he prayed fervently” (AV, “earnestly”) translates the noun proseuche, followed by the corresponding verb, lit., “he prayed with prayer.” In James 5:16 deesis, “supplication,” is so translated in the RV, for the AV, “effectual fervent prayer.” There is nothing in the original corresponding to the word “effectual.” The phrase, including the verb energeomai, “to work in,” is, lit., “the inworking supplication,” suggesting a supplication consistent with inward conformity to the mind of God. (4) For “fervent heat” see HEAT , B. A — 1: ἐνεργής (Strong’s #1756 — Adjective — energes — en-er-gace’ ) denotes “active, powerful in action” (en, “in,” ergon, “work;” Eng. “energy;” the word “work” is derived from the same root). It is translated “effectual” in 1 Corinthians 16:9 , of the door opened for the Gospel in Ephesus, and made “effectual” in the results of entering it; and in Philemon 1:6 , of the fellowship of Philemon’s faith “in the knowledge of every good thing” (RV). In Hebrews 4:12 it describes the Word of God as “active,” RV (AV, “powerful”), i.e., full of power to achieve results. See ACTIVE , POWERFUL.
EFFECTUAL PRAYER B — 1: ἐνεργέω (Strong’s #1754 — Verb — energeo — en-erg-eh’-o ) “to put forth power, be operative, to work” (its usual meaning), is rendered by the verb “to work effectually,” or “to be effectual,” in the AV of 2 Corinthians 1:6; Galatians 2:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; in each case the RV translates it by the simple verb “to work” (past tense, “wrought”). In James 5:16 the RV omits the superfluous word “effectual,” and translates the sentence “the supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working,” the verb being in the present participial form. Here the meaning may be “in its inworking,” i.e., in the effect produced in the praying man, bringing him into line with the will of God, as in the case of Elijah. For a fuller treatment of the word, see WORK. See also DO , MIGHTY , SHEW , Note (11).
Note: The noun energeia, “working,” is translated “effectual working,” in the AV of Ephesians 3:7; 4:16 See gnēsiōs- gnay-SEE-ose [Pure Heart] “sincerely, honorably” (akin to A, No. 3), is rendered “truly” (marg., “genuinely”) in Phil, 2:20 (AV, “naturally”).

Including “the Senses”:
The vestibular system is a sensory system that is responsible for providing our brain with information about motion, head position, and spatial orientation; it also is involved with motor functions that allow us to keep our balance, stabilize our head and body during movement, and maintain posture. Awareness of body balance and movement are monitored by the vestibular system. The vestibular senses (the sensations of body rotation and of gravitation and movement) arise in the inner ear; the sense organs are the hair cells that send out signals over the auditory nerve. The somatosensory system is the part of the sensory system concerned with the conscious perception of touch, pressure, pain, temperature, position, movement, and vibration, which arise from the muscles, joints, skin, and fascia. The tactile stimuli are detected by mechanoreceptors and produce sensations of touch and pressure. The proprioceptive system is located in our muscles and joints. It provides us with a sense of body awareness and detects/controls force and pressure. The proprioceptive system also has an important regulatory role in sensory processing, as proprioceptive input can assist in controlling responses to sensory stimuli.

Researchers at Gladstone Institute, have found that calm reduces levels of the protein tau, which is known for its role in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, changes excitatory and inhibitory cells in ways that make it harder for the brain to burst with over excitation. It also promotes the maintain balance in the brain. Previously they showed in mouse models that reducing tau levels makes the brain more resistant to epilepsy of diverse causes. [Retrieved form https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/10/211019223309.htm]. Also, Note: Studies have demonstrated that iron can regulate tau. This study examines the levels of total tau, hyperphosphorylation of tau, and SDS- and β-mercaptoethanol-resistant high molecular weight tau (HMW-tau) in crude extracts from gray and white matters of AD frontal lobes were analyzed by immuno-blots. They found the seeding potency is markedly higher in gray matter than in white matter such disease that includes Alzheimer’s disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and other disease pathologies ..[Retrieved from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33459649/; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6108061/].
