Nervous System Quotes - Page 4

• He llegado a ver nuestro sistema nervioso central como una especie de centralita antigua, llena de gruesos cables de espuma y enchufes anticuados. Los circuitos no están bien equipados; tras un exceso de información emocional, el sistema se sobrecarga, el circuito se rompe, el tablero se queda a oscuras. Eso es el shock.

• The brain controls pain. It controls fear. Sleep. Empathy. Hunger. Everything we associate with the heart or the soul or the nervous system is actually controlled by the brain. Everything. What if you could control it?

• La investigación de Schwartz sugiere algo importante: podemos estirar nuestras personalidades, pero sólo hasta cierto punto. Nuestros temperamentos innatos nos influyen, independientemente de la vida que llevemos. Una parte considerable de lo que somos viene determinada por nuestros genes, nuestro cerebro y nuestro sistema nervioso. Sin embargo, la elasticidad que Schwartz encontró en algunos de los adolescentes más reactivos también sugiere lo contrario: tenemos libre albedrío y podemos utilizarlo para moldear nuestra personalidad.

• A town is a thing like a colonial animal. A town has a nervous system and a head and shoulders and feet. A town is a thing separate from all other towns alike. And a town has a whole emotion. How news travels through a town is a mystery not easily to be solved. News seems to move faster than small boys can scramble and dart to tell it, faster than women can call it over the fences.

• Si la raza humana desarrolla un sistema nervioso electrónico, fuera de los cuerpos de las personas individuales, dándonos así a todos una mente y un cuerpo global, esto es casi precisamente lo que ha ocurrido en la organización de las células que componen nuestros propios cuerpos. Ya lo hemos hecho. [...] Si todo esto termina con la raza humana sin dejar más rastro de sí misma en el universo que un sistema de patrones electrónicos, ¿por qué debería preocuparnos? Porque eso es exactamente lo que somos ahora.

• As scientists you must keep your minds open. There is no use having blind faith in Me, in Sahaja Yoga, in anything because blindness will never give you reality. But you should be open like scientists are and whatever hypothesis I am putting before you, you have to feel it on your central nervous system.

• Hay que saber cuál es el objetivo último de nuestra vida. El objetivo último de nuestra evolución es convertirnos en el Espíritu, que es el reflejo de Dios Todopoderoso en nuestro corazón. Eso es identidad propia y también conocimiento propio. Además, uno se convierte en uno con el poder Divino del amor que todo lo penetra. Nuestra conciencia es iluminada por el Espíritu y las vibraciones Divinas comienzan a fluir a través de nuestro sistema nervioso central iluminando nuestro ser.

• What we have to understand that we have to believe into things which can be proved. Now the time has come that Divine itself has to be proved. That God Almighty has to be proved. That Christ as a son of God has to be proved, that His birth as immaculate conception has to be proved. Not by argument, not by reasoning, nor by blind faith but by actualization on your central nervous system.

• It is only the Sahasrara has to grow, not the Spirit. The more sensitive the Sahasrara is, the more it receives the spiritual qualities of the Spirit. Actually the peace is felt in the Sahasrara. The bliss is also felt in the Sahasrara because that is the brain and the brain is the epitome of our nervous system, central nervous system, of consciousness itself.

• Now the truth is that the Spirit is within you and you are the Spirit. You are the beauty, the bliss and the joy of that Spirit. That's what you are . Because your attention is not there, that's why you cannot feel your Spirit. But your Spirit exists; it is within you, in your heart, waiting for a moment to come into your conscious mind, to be felt by you in your central nervous system. It's all there, built within you.

• Freedom is when you really get your own powers which are within you. In your central nervous system and in your conscious mind, you must feel the existence of the spirit.

• Up till now, we can suppose, nervous systems solved the 'Now what do I do?' problem by a relatively simple balancing act between a strictly limited repertoire of actions - if not the famous four F's (fight, flee, feed, or mate), then a modest elaboration of them.

• I'd just like to see thinking come back in style. I haven't heard a new idea in eight years. Let's get ordinary people arguing and talking again. I want to trigger new circuits in their nervous systems. That's the philosopher's job and I am the most important philosopher at this time.

• ...the nervous systems of other animals were not artificially constructed - as a robot might be artificially constructed - to mimic the pain behavior of humans. A capacity to feel pain obviously enhances a species' prospects of survival...it is surely unreasonable to suppose that nervous systems that are virtually identical physiologically, have a common origin and a common evolutionary function, and result in similar forms of behavior in similar circumstances should actually operate in an entirely different manner on the level of subjective feelings.

• Normalmente, los defensores de los experimentos con animales no niegan que éstos sufran. No pueden negar el sufrimiento de los animales, porque necesitan subrayar las similitudes entre los humanos y otros animales para afirmar que sus experimentos pueden tener alguna relevancia para los fines humanos. El experimentador que obliga a las ratas a elegir entre la inanición y la descarga eléctrica para ver si desarrollan úlceras (y lo hacen) lo hace porque la rata tiene un sistema nervioso muy similar al de un ser humano, y presumiblemente siente una descarga eléctrica de forma similar.

• I engaged - started engaging in yoga as a physical practice, but very quickly found out there was something broader to it, and that it was actually helpful for my pain, and started to get into meditation, started to study the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita and a lot of the scriptures associated with yoga, the Yoga Sutras, and very quickly came to this conclusion that this had a huge impact on my ability to lead, but, more importantly, the ability to control my sympathetic nervous system, which had a direct tie to the pain in my arm.

• Perfect replication is the enemy of any robust system... Lacking a central nervous system much less a brain the parasite is a simple system designed to compromise a very specific target host. The more uniform the host, the more effective the infestation.

• A tendency to resume the same mode of action at stated times is peculiarly the characteristic of the nervous system; and on this account regularity is of great consequence in exercising the moral and intellectual power. All nervous diseases have a marked tendency to observe regular periods; and the natural inclination to sleep at the approach of night is another instance of the same fact.
