Tr: [ET2] Tr: LeDoux' dual pathway

<<That, surely, is in so many other words, Anaga's and the Yellow Emperors learning with heart first then processing with the head afterwards as the right road and *only* road to real knowing, being and doing! >>
 
Personally, I'm far from sure about this, and want to be careful with drawing parallels.

When I speculated about "changing the low road", I am actually thinking about a different part of the amygdala being reached, as energetic and neuronal pathways are changed through processes like ET.
 
The time difference between LeDoux' low road and high-road is less than a tenth of a second. Which means that in less than a tenth of a second "head-processing" (i.e. cortical processing) starts...

  That, surely, is in so many other words, Anaga's and the Yellow
  Emperors learning with heart first then processing with the head
  afterwards as the right road and *only* road to real knowing,
  being and doing!

  I would say that ET firstly redirects attention to the real road
  and then helps answer that eternal question of, "But HOW do we DO
  THAT???"

  I got an email from some health group a few days back with 21 ways
  to happiness.

  Each one was along the lines of,

  - Learn to forgive
  - Find peace
  - Let go of the past
  - Open up to the universe ...
  etc etc

  Great. Sure. Cool. And now back to the question of "HOW????????"

  I'm kinda hoping that with ET I've gone *some* way to beginning to
  show a way towards new ways of answering that in a highly
  practical fashion.

  Cause we all know what the 101 ways to enlightenment, joy and
  ecstacy are, already, don't we.
