Harvard-trained physician Mauro Zappaterra returns to a Science and Nonduality Community Conversation with Maurizio and Zaya Benazzo to present cerebrospinal fluid as a clear, colourless carrier between rigorous physiology and the deeper traditions of subtle energy.

Transcript

foreign [Music] good afternoon and good evening welcome um thank you so much for taking the time on Wednesday morning or evening to join us for this conversation yeah my name my name is Mauricio benazzo my name is Zaya benazo and we are the co-founders of Science and non-duality and in the past two years we've been hosting this monthly conversations uh in which we have a guest speaker and we have a conversation with them so today we are delighted to have back with us Mauro zapatera Mario good to see you again it's been a couple of years 2018 five years yeah yeah so good to see you again yeah I'm out up here that sent long time ago and it was such a win sad beginning of Zen and it was such a joy to meet you because you're you're always at this angle that people were puzzle wait are you a doctor why you say those things and it's very rare to have a rigorous scientist with such a rigorous background who understands also deep mysticism very rare find that so um yeah we're delighted yeah should we do an official formal introduction in case some of you or foreign obtain is MD and PhD from Harvard Medical School has been practicing mindfulness since 1998 and teaching mindfulness to patients with chronic pain since then since 2018 actually sorry is the director of multi multi-disciplinary care at sign Ovation Medical Group has published numerous scientific paper and medical book chapters on the cerebrospinal fluid disability and Pain Management also published three books I am all one and all love exploring topic of awareness primarily for kids but really for people of all ages is also published close your eyes what do you see with this sun which is a story about imagination and intention it continued to create program to help patient with chronic pain and to investigate the cerebrospinal fluid and integrate this new research to evolve the hypothesis of the cerebral spinal fluid and I am and when I had that your video on YouTube on our Channel drove me crazy because I read all the comments and there was there was a time that I received five comments a day it's so beautiful everybody got so wow and a proof of this is the fact that we have you know that over a thousand people signed for this uh event and actually I wanted to ask people if you could just put one word in the chat what brought you here today to this conversation could be two words if it's too hard humility Consciousness body work but they were curious Source curiosity my CSF is CMS is curious from mating brain injury your email topic of interesting quality information osteopathic therapy Cranium sacral therapist nedi Nadi because it makes sense Mara is saying astrology oh Kundalini and science Kundalini way curiosity okay thank you very much whatever yes what a question hmm wow beautiful so just to know today Maru will start with Maru doing a presentation for us so we have the foundation of his understanding and experience and then we're going to open and receive your questions so with that yep let's do it is all yours thank you well thank you so much for inviting me um it's always a pleasure to to come to sand and to uh to do these uh to do to do these presentations and really share this work with everybody um I know that many people are coming to it from uh obviously different blocks of life and and what you could tell from all those comments is just you know how uh how uh multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary this um this this topic can actually be we could go into you know the cerebral spinal fluid and Chiropractics and osteopathic manipulation we could go into the cerebrospinal fluid in Kundalini we could go into just the basics of you know the science of the cerebral spinal fluid um and and today it's really about kind of where this work has um come from and where it's um it's developing to of which it's really applicable in my opinion to all those um all those topics and and Concepts and it's really about um this connection this connection to Source via the cerebrospinal fluid um and uh you know for me um this fluid has been very important um since 2005 2004 when I started uh investigating it when I started studying it when I started having a direct experience of it um and so uh you know my wife and I we've actually named our third child amarita um amarita or amarit being um being the sacred nectar of immortality uh that is that is released uh in in the kachari mudra practice and so it's it's it's the hypothesis that the Amrit the Amrita the sacred sweet nectar of immortality uh that is released is actually the cerebrospinal fluid it's actually what the um what what some of the um what some of the Indian Indian Saints and gurus when they when they when they tasted this nectar it's actually they're tasting a bit of the cerebral spinal fluid so we decided to name our our third child amarita and and that's how you know that's how uh influential that this fluid is to um to me uh and to us for both my wife and um and myself so um I have some very basic intentions right I don't mean to do anything like uh extraordinary let's say my number one intention is really to bring awareness to this incredible fluid the cerebral spinal fluid that's it okay if I could stop there and just say look we have um you know we have 250 participants right now um and and and we're bringing awareness to this fluid we've done our job okay in my opinion that's it okay the next one then if I could encourage you right is to encourage you to investigate it for yourself with openness playfulness and curiosity and what was fascinating is I saw a lot of Curiosities on that right I'm curious curious curious right and and and and to come to it with a very uh with an open mind um but also uh a playful mind as if you are a child playing with water for the first time okay trying to kind of understand what it is what how does this work wait if I do this what happens um and having a a being curious about it right um then obviously discuss some of the current research on the function of this fluid discuss some of the current applications for health and then hypothesize and this is kind of where it goes uh Beyond let's say the realm of of what we of what we understand from a very you know scientific rigorous uh perspective um is is to hypothesize on other functions it it may have okay so um in your brain you have fluid-filled cavities okay the fluid-filled cavities are called ventricles they're called ventricles so we could just stop there and say uh I didn't know that or I did know that and I've done a lot of work with the cerebrospinal fluid and I know exactly where those where those ventricles are but we could spend an entire afternoon sort of investigating these ventricles looking at these fluid-filled cavities looking at the connections that these fluid filled cavities make with the brain and I do encourage you if you are curious to go into that investigation for yourself we don't have the time to do that today so I'm I'm gonna move on but just to just to just to start off with in the middle of your brain you have these fluid-filled ventricles okay these fluid-filled ventricles are filled with what we call the cerebrospinal fluid it is a clear fluid that Bays the bird the brain and the spine and it's 99 water you'll see why I make a point of that later on um so it occupies the these cavities or ventricles within the brain and this would be sort of a three-dimensional model of what that looks like if I was to take the brain away okay very curious model you can always kind of look at that model itself and say why would a fluid-filled space in the middle of the brain be so complex and so intricate and have these little you know what we call these little aqueducts or connections between spaces and and this shape is very curious um and and you know we can get into those into the in into those questions but those are the ventricles that's what it looks like in the middle of the brain it covers the whole outside of the brain it goes all the way down so in the middle of your spinal cord many people don't know this but in the middle of your spinal Crow are there's actually a hollow a hollow tube and and fluid is all the way it all goes all the way down the middle of your spinal cord the middle of your spinal cord right and then it also bathes the outside of your spinal cord um at any point in time we have 150 milliliters and it turns over three to four times a day some people say maybe five to six times a day and so we produce anywhere about half a liter of cerebral spinal fluid a day so we're constantly producing this right remember go get a half a liter of bottle of water and see what that what that is okay um the third ventricle which is a midline space it's actually a midline space if you were to draw a line sort of at the tops of your ears kind of where you would imagine your third eye being there's actually a third ventricle it's called the third ventricle um and uh this is actually a very important important structure it's a very midline structure and it's got the pineal gland in the back it's got the hypothalamus and the thalamus on the sides and it has the the the pituitary gland in front and it connects um you could tell it connects a lot of really major uh important structures of the brain from the pineal gland to the hypothalamus and the thalamus etc etc so just kind of bringing your awareness to this Anatomy that is present in all of us so if we were to look at this okay from this is an MRI image the red is our cerebrospinal fluid so you can see how our central nervous system both uh brain and spine is really kind of floating and being bathed by the cerebral spinal fluid at all times um which you know just kind of looking at that being like wow that's uh that's that's that's really fascinating right so then I took that picture and I kind of made it into this picture which would be cerebral spinal fluid on the outside but also cerebral spinal fluid in the middle and then the brain which is the pink here being the brain in the spinal cord right so if you kind of you know jump up and down like this right what's happening is actually uh this cerebrospinal fluid is actually creating buoyancy for our brain and spinal cord okay so here's the structure that's in the middle it's in the middle of our bodies right where the midline going right through our our our spine kind of bobbing up and down like you would see a a buoy in the ocean all right now now what what one of the main functions that people thought the cerebral spinal fluid uh had and and did um which it does of course is create this buoyancy so if you were to take the brain um of a human uh the human brain is about 14 to 1500 grams when it's suspended in the cerebrospinal fluid it has a weight of about 25 to 50 grams so you can just tell how much um how much buoyancy is actually created by the cerebral spinal fluid itself okay um so this is important for multiple perspectives and if you've seen any of my prior uh videos um I go into this uh some videos I go into much more detail on embryology but there is I can't stress this enough there is an importance to our development embryologically uh in terms of how this fluid is created but also embryologically because there are certain states that we may get into um through various techniques that we use that we might actually feel a connection back to our embryonic state and um it's it's it's it's it's it's my hypothesis that that connection might actually be through the fluid and you'll see why that um why that is okay so uh where does this fluid come from so that little black dot in the middle um this that's you as you're developing as an embryo but the entire egg and sperm uh has um has has developed the red and and and and the um and the blue there that would be as you are actually implanted in your mother's uterus you start developing but just to show you you know we're uh we're essentially a layer of cells so we from the egg the egg gets fertilized um and and you know we can go into a whole bunch of detail on that but we won't go into that and then when you get uh when when the uh when the embryo is implanted into the womb then it starts to undergo more differentiation fluid starts to be secreted into these cavities and you can see here there's three major cavities there's the amniotic cavity here with the amniotic fluid there's the yolk sac and the chorionic cavity here um with the chorionic fluid and as the embryo develops the chorionic fluid cavity gets dispersed the yolk Sac gets internalized the yolk Sac gets internalized and then the embryo what you are right you as an a a baby in the womb you're swimming in amniotic fluid okay so this is you uh essentially this little black dot here as a as a as a as a single layer double layered sheet of cells okay and um where the cerebral spinal fluid comes from is that that layer of cells turn off my phone that layer of cells uh invaginates and fuses back on itself and it makes what we call the neural tube and inside then so now we have the differentiation of the amniotic fluid from the cerebral spinal fluid okay and just kind of keep that in mind that there is this differentiation of the amniotic fluid from the cerebral spinal fluid so I've said this in the past so from a homeopathic perspective right what Homeopathy is sort of the a a a a a uh um like taking you know taking a compound and and and and and making its concentration so small but still having the presence of that compound in the fluid itself well believe it or not we have a homeopathic quantity of our amniotic fluid still in our cerebral spinal fluid today from a from a homeopathic perspective it was derived from that fluid and so it still has that energy of the of the amniotic fluid um almost guaranteed um and so when we develop so we have this neural tube here okay and inside now the neural tube inside that neural tube is all cerebral spinal fluid outside is amniotic fluid and and then you can see how sort of the brain and the spinal cord develop here okay and then this is the cortex this is kind of the the the thing that we sort of pay so much attention to um but we're all kind of in in this fluid okay so um what is the role of the the the the the cerebral spinal fluid well you know we really need to look evolutionarily to to kind of set a picture of this so evolutionarily so when they look at the neurons um in starfish for instance that are making contact with the seawater okay evolutionarily the neurons in a starfish that are making contact with seawater are the same neurons in in a vertebrate like a mouse or in us that is making contact with the cerebrospinal fluid all right so that's really important because evolutionarily these neurons are important for transmitting information uh from the fluid to some sort of body creature or something like that all right so the neurons that we're contacting okay the sea water right so getting information from the sea water are evolutionarily the same neurons that today in us are contacting the cerebral spinal fluid and still getting information right so you can imagine what kind of information that would be right movement of fluid flow um maybe lightness and darkness toxins or or or or you know uh poisons in the in the water whatever it might be but they have to sort of interpret this um this this information right and as development happened and the body plan closed right similar to our development where our body plan closed so in the warm in the Worm for instance in like a sea worm where you get um where you get uh closure of the body plan you're going to get this mixing of fluids you're going to get the mixing of an internal fluid but it's just the sea water that's going through the body of the worm and then external fluid which is the sea water so you start differentiating this sort of internal seawater external sea water and then as we close off right so imagine the amniotic fluid now that's why I brought that up the amniotic fluid being sort of that external sea water and then our body plan closing and now we have the internal sea water of the cerebrospinal fluid uh in inside of us all right so evolutionarily just kind of thinking of of of of of of that of this of the fluid being able to then contact these neurons that were then transmitting information and so what sort of information was the fluid actually able to bring to the the starfish or the worm or to us and so that's kind of a big question right so for us what we know is that it transports nutrients and hormones in the central nervous system it regulates uh circadian rhythm it regulates appetite it provides guiding cues for cell migration so imagine that right the fluid itself can provide a cue for where a cell is to migrate okay based on the movement of the fluid itself it's kind of incredible it instructs stem cells to proliferate or differentiate it creates an ionic balance it eliminates waste it supports and protects the central nervous system and then it creates this buoyancy in the shock absorber for the brain okay this research has really been building and developing and uh and and in 2019 uh researchers at Boston University showed that there was a there was cerebrospinal fluid pulsations into the brain itself during sleep and this is work that had been done in in in rodents prior in like 2014-15 and it was actually shown in humans as well and so why is this important well um first of all we always thought that the cerebral spinal fluid was sort of housed in the ventricles right in these cavities but what this research actually showed is that it actually can get can go into the brain tissue itself but it there needs to be certain states that induces this sort of opening of of the gates let's say and allows the cerebrospinal fluid to flow from let's say the ventricles into the brain tissue itself okay and what they found was that during sleep there was a coupling of brain activity brain waves blood flow and CSF movement okay so that when um when there is a change in neuronal activation meaning the the the the the the the neurons actually changed activation there was a slowing of the brain waves okay there was a flow of blood out of the head so slowing of brain waves flow of blood out of the head pulsation of CSF into the head into the cranium into the third ventricles into the ventricles and then the gates that usually keep this fluid sort of in the ventricles opened up right and now the fluid is going through the brain tissue itself okay and what was postulated was essentially is that the brain is washed you know as our brain washed during sleep I saw a couple media uh ads on that but that the brain is washed or cleansed during sleep with the with the cerebrospinal fluid and so it was one of the first researches that showed that sleep was really important because at first we didn't really know what sleep was doing why it was so important but it sort of seems like a clan it comes in and it cleanses out toxins uh in the brain that just naturally occur over um over um over the day from just using your brain right so just thinking and breakdown of sugars and whatnot all right so this is really important because um this movement of cerebrospinal fluid seems to be a very important uh process in cleansing the brain and this may be a very important process in say trying to prevent or decrease neurodegenerative diseases or help people with concussion or traumatic brain injury to heal by actually cleaning out the brain and by bringing in New Growth factors new molecules whatever it might be new hormones into the brain for neurogenesis for health for healing whatever it might be right so imagine right that there's that there's this importance now so this is the first time where it showed like oh that's important for this fluid to actually move just like it is any fluid body to move really if you think of it as a river in the middle of your spine we don't want the fluid to be stagnant right and so therefore any stagnant fluid starts to develop debris and you know you see a stagnant River there's algae there's bugs it starts smelling right maybe that's the same in the cerebrospinal fluid that the stagnation actually toxins build up and as the toxins build up you have less ability to clear the fluid easily and so now now you have toxins building up you're not clearing the fluid you're not thinking properly maybe you're getting headaches you're not regenerating your tissue as well right and now you're going down into a slippery slope so sleep may be really important for that okay that's sort of uh that's a that's a that's a that's a big one but um there's also many hypotheses that you know fluids absorb store and transmit energy here's some Bach flower remedies I spoke a bit about Homeopathy um you know some of the first research in Homeopathy was actually published in some excellent journals if you go back to it um part of it was not reproduced and then you know people pooped it but to I mean if you look at the studies on reproducibility of scientific of scientific studies over 50 percent of scientific studies can't be reproduced that we think are like you know that we put on a pedestal and we say oh this is how it works well when you try to reproduce it doesn't work well we don't go back and and and and say oh you know it sucks it's like oh maybe the conditions weren't the right conditions or whatever it might be there's so much control that happens in a Laboratory um that um that just because you can't reproduce something doesn't mean that it's not true or doesn't mean that it hasn't happened and if it happens once then in my opinion if it happens once then let's figure out what the right sort of circumstances or mechanism is for it to happen again right and so this is some of the work of masuro imodo a freezing water molecules Dean radin has tried to reproduce this uh with double blind triple controlled studies and has actually done a a fairly different a fairly good job of it okay so um taking this as a hypothetical even as a hypothetical right let's say you're a hardcore scientist you're like oh I'm not I'm not sure I really believe that well here's some here's some scientific proof that is actually you know that people have have used um to try to show that water may be able to absorb store and transmit this energy so if water can do this and as I said the cerebral spinal fluid is 99 water could the cerebral spinal fluid actually absorb store and transmit energy of the source put that out there um I've been interacting with Veda Austin she has a master class she's a water researcher a public speaker mother artist author she's dedicated the last 10 years of observing and photographing the life of water what she calls it right so she believes that water is a fluid intelligence um and um and and it is observing itself through every living organism on the planet and in their universe so what she does is she photographs water in its state of Creation in between liquid and ice and if you go to her website She's got these remarkable sort of photos um where where uh where water is actually representing an image or or some sort of energy that was actually infused into the water prior to the water undergoing this crystallization process she has a number of master classes she teaches people how to do it um she's looking at actually working with Dr Paul look in terms of how to design a you know a controlled study because everybody wants you know it's a sort of a controlled study how many times do we have to reproduce it Etc et cetera well she's been reproducing it over and over again now she actually wants to work with with somebody at the University to try to really um reproduce This research and try to publish it because it's it's pretty fascinating um we said we heard we heard somebody coming in from Nadi um well I've been contacted by Dr deep and now working with Dr deep so Dr deep uh is a is a physician he works in uh he's uh he was born in Varanasi India um and he is the world's foremost expert on on Nadi and so um there are over 72 000 naughty channels in the human body and he uh sort of born in Born into this world with this intimate knowledge of all of them uh and based on his um you know his experience essentially um that Nadi is this binding energy from unmanifested to manifested right that Nadi is a rhythm of beingness being in Oneness all right so I call this Source all right uh the naughty Rhythm is a foundation of unity for bringing all Diversified practices to retain the original state of totality okay that naughty water okay so now we go from here's this energy right this binding energy um that naughty water is the water of the cell during the embryonic stage of totipotency and it becomes the cerebral spinal fluid in the spine okay so that's that's coming from that's coming from that's coming from him okay that the naughty rhythm is present that we can actually that that we can actually instill the naughty rhythm and have it be present in a drop of water creating uh Unity of divine nature rhythmic manifestation sort of a a universe within each drop of water um that naughty pulsating water brings totality within us Among Us around us everywhere and Beyond he has spoken to the United Nations about this and the government of India has actually included naughty water and it's uh in in its Health policy okay that's pretty incredible right so I'm actually working with him and we're looking at doing we're looking at crystallizing uh this naughty water we're looking at growing cells um with naughty water and without naughty water and seeing if we could see a difference we're looking at exposing stem cells to naughty water and doing you know very uh very detailed um studies on RNA transcription and and and things like that um and so this is all kind of you know in the works um but it's very fascinating that from his perspective right this naughty water is is is in is the water of the cell during the embryonic stage and that it becomes the cerebral spinal fluid and so if this energy is presence in that then whether you look at it from a homeopathic perspective whether you look at it from a from a you know from a um a a a crystalline perspective whichever way you want to look at it maybe there is some sort of energy right that's still present in our cerebrospinal fluid through the water itself that's actually connecting us back to our totipotent embryonic state which was one cell two cells four cells eight cells right and what what the reason I bring this up is because um there are there are certain practices that I can guide people into of going back through into that to the embryo and people may have actually had this experience themselves when they're like in a deep state of meditation when they're it maybe getting craniosacral therapy when they're getting some sort of Bodywork polarity massage or even sleep where they feel as if I feel like I was the embryer and I feel like I was before it was like before the before the fertilization oh right and then how far how kind of far back can you go in that in that Realm okay so here he is um blessing a copper Rod um the naughty energy can be transmitted through the copper Rod um and therefore if water is exposed to the naughty energy copper Rod the water then uh obtains the naughty energy we can then drink it or grow cells with it etc etc and those are some of the studies that are on that are ongoing okay so we go back into you know why are the ventricles the way they are right so now I told you every all this stuff about water and this this possible knotty energy in the cerebospinal fluid through the water right now allow your imagination to play right and not allow allow your Consciousness uh you you know your ability to just sort of be curious to play be like oh that's you know why is The ventricle like that why does it have to go why does it send this projection all the way back here to the occipital lobe to my you know to where my visual cortex is why why couldn't it just make a you know this does a U-turn why isn't it just a blob of water in the in the middle so you know any of your any of your answers to those questions would be fascinating of which unfortunately a lot of time to go into but the other way scientifically of looking at this is well here's the wall here's the wall of the of the ventricle and so what are the receptors on the wall of The ventricle that could be actually getting the information right and so there's photoreceptors that perceive light there's chemoreceptors that perceive growth factors ions and hormones and then there's mechanoreceptors that receive flow movement and vibration okay so just there right so we can actually uh transmit based on the receptor that are that are present right this fluid could transmit light vibrations movement and molecules just as it was transmitting that same information probably to the starfish from the sea water itself okay so um imagine then that the CSF is this vehicle of of of of information that it can transmit this information uh to the brain through the fluid and now that we know it's not actually only contained in the ventricles it's actually it's contained throughout the whole throughout the whole brain it's actually in the brain tissue itself okay and so that's really that's really that's really that's really important um the other part of this transmission is that if something comes into the fluid there's no barriers there's no blockages to getting it to important major areas of the brain all right that you don't need synapses and that you can get this synchronized sort of all areas of the brain can actually be perceiving this information simultaneously right so you get this synchronized sort of like Sensation that may that may that may occur through an energy that is received by the fluid okay whether that be a molecule like a hormone or a vibration or whatever it might be okay so since we know okay so now here's where the exciting part of the research comes because now we're looking at um all right well since the movement of the cerebral spinal fluid is actually important because we don't want this River to stagnate okay so that's pretty much although people in the medical world don't say River that's pretty much what they're what what we're thinking is we don't want this fluid to stagnate right so what causes the CSF to move and now there's a ton of research you're going to see this in the next five years I guarantee you this is going to explode with ways to get our cerebrospinal fluid to move because we need this inner column to be pulsating we need it to be vibrant we need it to be this this this vibrant uh River within us that's cleansing our brain that's bringing new hormones and molecules um and and energy whatever that might be right so we know physiologically that the heartbeat can do it right so as the heart beats cerebral spinal fluid move we know as I've showed you before sleep okay now there's just a study published maybe two months ago that showed that directed ultrasound can cause the cerebral spinal fluid to move and the and this this system in between the brain which is called the glymphatic system um to to to increase the movement of the flow of the fluid through this lymphatic system in the brain cleaning out toxins they just showed that sensory stimulation intense visual stimulation it was visual stimulation okay they did uh they flashed a checkerboard in front of people caused the cerebral spinal fluid to move now you know when you go to some of these conferences and you see these strobe lights right and and causing Altered States Of Consciousness or Altered States of reality or sort of uh what they're calling a sober psychedelic State whatever that might be that that are using strobe lights light right sound whatever it might be and how is virtual reality going to come into place right are we going to be able to use Virtual Reality to actually stimulate the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid if we have difficulty sleeping or getting into um or or allowing that fluid to to move okay one of the one one of the coolest things though that has really come out is breath right because breath has been used for Millennia to affect our Consciousness Beth has been used for Millennia to affect our our state of our state of reality right you look at everything from holotropic breath work to Wim Hof to pranayama breeding to alternate nostril breathing to whatever it might be okay well breath is is it it's a potent conscious that we actually have conscious control of our breath and therefore can actually have conscious control of the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid in our brain in our spine in our third ventricle okay so this is from 2018 this is the raw research that looks at inspiration from all levels going all the way down to L4 lumbar vertebra 4 to cranial three when we inspire we are bringing cerebral spinal fluid towards the brain at all levels when we expire we are pushing the cerebral spinal fluid down from about T6 thoracic vertebra 6 down okay [Music] this was just published 2022 immediate impact of yogic breathing on pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid dynamics participants were instructed to breathe in five different ways spontaneous breathing slow breathing deep abdominal breathing deep diaphragmatic breathing and deep chest breathing all right they considered slow breathing deep abdominal breathing and deep sorry they considered deep abdominal breathing deep diaphragmatic breathing and deep chest breathing as yogic breathing okay then they did while people were breathing in these various States they took an MRI of the brain to see changes in the CSF flow there was a 16 to 28 percent increase in the power and velocity of the cerebrospinal fluid flow into the skull during yogic breathing compared to spontaneous breeding deep abdominal breathing was the one that led to a most statistically significant increase in cerebrospinal fluid oscillation so listen to the language that they're using even this is this is this is fairly rigorous research right cerebrospinal fluid oscillation okay and this is where that sort of playful awareness comes in when's the last time you thought about your cerebrospinal fluid oscillation well you can start thinking about it now hey how is your fluid actually oscillating how is it moving right imagine it as as a tub of water inside the middle of your brain outside your brain bathing your brain right how is it oscillating what are the energy frequencies that you are choosing to induce what are the energy frequencies that you are choosing to induce to expose yourself to to create that is actually causing some sort of oscillation rhythmic pulsatile resonant frequency within this fluid right and I would recommend some sort of inquiry into this right um not only right not only can the breath increase uh the movement of the cerebral spinal fluid and what they're looking at now is then can breath work actually lead to um decreased neurodegenerative diseases an improved recovery from concussion and increased cleansing of the brain they're looking at all that right that's going to be fascinating research that's going to come out there was research that just showed that slow breathing and increasing your heart rate heart rate variability through slow breathing actually decreased markers of Alzheimer's disease in the blood of uh in the blood of people who practice these practices they couldn't figure out the mechanisms but guess what one of the mechanisms was that they hypothesized that through the breath work you're actually increasing the movement of the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid increasing the cleansing of the of the of the of the brain of these toxins and therefore you're getting rid of some of these uh markers of of um of Alzheimer's right now right imagine just through breathing that you can actually activate your cerebral spinal fluid in your spine but you can create a pulsatile movement of your spine that you can create a pulsatile movement of this fluid coming into contact with your ventricle boom boom boom almost like a drum beat right the internal drumbeat creating sort of like an internal drubby within your own ocean of the cerebral spinal fluid within your brain sort of creating a resonance right now what that does we're not entirely sure I was trying to fund I was trying to get funding for research to do it unfortunately it it's very challenging to kind of figure this out does the movement you know can the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid that's affecting The ventricle right can that actually can we see not just because of thoughts or what's happening but can we see a change in uh an estate based on the movement of the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid and so we're looking into ways of sort of Designing those experiments right this leads us also into DMT many people uh may have tried this it's a powerful psychedelic um it's found in animals plants and humans and it's used by various cultures for ritual uh ritual purposes as an in the agent right bringing us closer to to Source bringing us closer uh to God having an experience of of universal Oneness whatever that might be well we have endogenous TNT and it's found in the brain it's found in the cerebrospinal fluid it's also found in the pineal gland um the two enzymes that are required to make DMT in the body have been co-localized in the brain tissue in the choroid plexus and in the adrenal gland why is it important the Corey plexus because the chloride plexus is the organ that is responsible for making the most cerebral spinal fluid all right so if we have these two enzymes that are co-localized in the choroid plexus now they still haven't looked at DMT in the choroid plexus itself but that's the next study that's going to be done but it is found in the cerebrospinal fluid and it's actually found at pretty high concentrations in the sugar okay when they look at the brain tissue itself what they found is that the DMT in the brain is produced at the same level as dopamine and serotonin right so we all talk about dopamine serotonin oh yeah I know those okay yeah a serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor you know for oh wait DMT is at the same amount huh why aren't we talking about that a little bit more right and so a lot a lot of research is going into what is the actual function of endogenous DMT in the human body um there's funding that's we're trying to collect funding if you're interested in sort of funding research uh I'm working with a non-profit dmtquest.org uh you can you can you can donate there but it's really about trying to sort of you know look at endogenous DMT research and what endogenous DMT actually does the studies that were recently done showed that there was a 600 increase in DMT in the visual cortex of rodents after a after a heart attack a myocardial infarction right so can we learn how to modulate DMT levels endogenously right I throw these questions out for your inquiry okay so um our entire central nervous system is suspended in this fluid right maybe maybe this fluid is actually an intermediary between the infinite and the finite sort of a condensation of a less condensed energy form right by breathing we can create a rhythm in the fluid by sort of like an undulating process oscillating that says the ability to bring vibrations energy frequency to the fluid which can transmit The rhythms of life and if there's if it's a bridge if it's a bridge through the fluid through the water and the water is absorbing energy from the infinite from Source let's say naughty energy right as this bridge as this conduit is it could it be a connection to to to source to God um to undifferentiated manifest undifferentiated unmanifested potential energy yeah now again I mentioned water and just a few more a few more slides but the question is is could the cerebral spinal fluid actually be our internal battery okay so these are the words of Yogananda um the Consciousness enters the body by way of the brain and spine the fact remains we can never know anything except through the medium of the senses so long as the life force remains trapped in the body there is a way out forever it is for the Life Source Life Force to merge with the cosmic energy so there's this merging for the Consciousness to merge into the infinite Consciousness the way to accomplish this is to withdraw the life force from the center from the senses and Center it on the spine to direct it upward through the spine to the brain and then out the Christ Center between the eyebrows the spine is the highway to the infinite the spine and the brain are the altars of God that's where the electricity right so this word of electricity of God flows down into the nervous system into the world and the searchlights of your senses are turned outward but when you will reverse the searchlights through kriya yoga and and be concentrated in the spine you will behold the maker that's what self-realization teaches you the technique of meditation recharging the body battery with cosmic energy for it is not a Creed or Dogma but a science of Soul and Spirit how the soul descended from the cosmic Consciousness into the Earth and the body in the senses is the purpose of this work so electricity body battery right cosmic energy okay so um this is the work of Dr Pollock that under certain conditions water can go into this fourth phase and it happens primarily on hydro when it's close to a hydrophilic surface okay what it happens is that it forms uh an exclusion zone so here's here's a hydrophilic surface here okay and it forms an exclusion Zone where this Zone becomes sort of what they call you know Crystal Liquid Crystal it's h3o2 and it disperses it becomes negatively charged and it disperses particles over to the positively charged side all right so now what you have is you actually have in the water itself you have a a creation of of charges that have been that have been separated okay now it occurs next to hydrophilic surface and guess what the outside of your cell membrane is hydrophilic okay so it's consistent the input for this for this fourth phase to occur can occur um through energy they've shown that infrared energy can cause this so infrared light can cause this but essentially what it does is is is that it creates and what we what we would consider to be an internal battery converting chemical energy into electrical energy so this radiant energy right water being the transducer whatever radiant energy comes in okay that it separates the charge in the water and then you have an output from this um from the chemical energy actually being separated you have chemical physical energy Optical Energy electrical energy mechanical energy and radiant energy that can all be outputs okay so the um so you know the the real question is is that when this forms right that if we have a negatively charged and a positively charged if those ions start to move then we can actually get electrical energy generated to light a light bulb we create a circuit and now as the charges move we actually get energy we get electrical energy that's formed through it okay and so the question here is um could the circuit actually be our body and so therefore through a process that we go through right we're structuring our water we're structuring the cerebral spinal fluid we're structuring the water within us um it goes into a fourth phase there's actually a micro sort of a micro battery that's actually set up and then you see all these images of of Illumination that we actually can internally okay illuminate uh that's a question right so um here we go here's the cerebral spinal fluid right bathing right now the inside of your brain going all the way down your spinal cord going by bathing the outside of your brain right as a bridge you know everything it does scientifically I'll take it just an element Beyond could you connect with the energy of the fluid uh as a fluid that's actually going throughout your entire brain that is 99 water that the water itself is interacting with the water molecules itself is interacting with energy that it's exposed to right that this is uh a a conduit that this is a bridge from the from the infinite to the finite and back to the infinite it's a two it's a two-way highway right whether this compound or whether this cerebral spinal fluid can can transmit uh melatonin DMT growth factors electrolytes whatever it might be to the brain which we know it does or resonant frequency right some sort of resonant frequency that it's interpreting from the external environment from the world and the internal environment and transmitting that to our brain and so essentially foreign now we we put it all all together okay so we bring awareness to the cerebral spinal fluid we can do anything we can breathe we can dance we can sing hum but you're knowing knowing that you are actually changing the resonant frequency of this fluid with each inspiration you're pulling the fluid up the spine to your brain collecting the heart energy as it travels past the heart you can even add a Kegel exercise or a perennial floor activation to help pump the fluid from your sacrum you can activate your parasympathetic system to help the fluid flow through your brain tissue without having to fall asleep you can connect with the endogenous hormones and growth factors neurotransmitters that are in the cerebrospinal fluid and the DMT itself you can connect with the water element you can allow the structured water to form within you as an internal energy source becoming illuminated radiant energy that's within us through the water connecting to the unmanifested as an energy as the CSF can hold this total memory of the universe connecting to the naughty energy to this binding energy from I am to all love and from all love to I am and we rest in that [Music] wow wow [Music]
