3.      TO: Kevin J. Tracey, president, Feinstein Institute For Medical Research at North Shore-LIJ Health System, Manhasset, New York

4.      With proper dissemination, WE can bring about World Peace.

5.      The article “Shock Medicine” presents a neatly woven theory for The Reflex Circuit. I offer legal insight to better our theory for harmonious intrinsic consistency. One is, of course, not immune to errors in states with relativity and your response is duly welcome and appreciated.

6.      Allow me to clarify the term legal. I am a teacher momentarily perceived as rogue. Legal is not confined to a courtroom. Legal is the balance of life itself. Life, for simplicity, is analogous to a line of points in line, points comprising a line without an actual line. In this way is context forever the determiner for validation of theory until GREAT CONTEXT is revealed, which I offer herein for The Reflex Circuit.

7.      The hypothesis “that injecting this experimental drug [any drug] into the brain would prevent TNF production” was near-sighted only to the extent of not abiding “by Sherrington’s idea that a simple reflex begins with sensory input travelling along a nerve”. We do not abide our own fundamental premise while we at all consider there to exist possibility for an “off” switch. There is a “change to” switch, but no true OFF switch possible with distinction for true.

8.      Revelation of Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) is itself a circuit with real-time manner from one shared state. We understand the un-understandable GREAT CONTEXT (e.g. “whatever”) to exist as a singular-collective state when we agree ourselves to be currently within THAT as our ever-changing state. The idea is neather preposterous to neurological reflexes nor dependant upon proper spelling of culturally common words, neither: to agree our environment to be itself ever-changing is to establish for ourselves both fact of THE EVER STATE and fact of our inability to REAL-EYES THAT causing all that we see ever-changing to remain with change.

9.      To a state so encompassing as to present a sequentially ordered set with incrimants called moments, linear time, our lack of computational ability does not render that line viewed from its end head-on as just another moment. The principal for reflexing circuits does not, therefore, involve loss but change into another aspect not yet perceptible: as we increase our understanding, forgiveness for our Self-indulgence, we naturally increase our individual ability to manipulate change into desired material outcomes specifically because the desire WAS for increase to the greater reflex circuit in harmony with our finite subsets. See? WE are the healers and are also re-pairing without drugs FOR REFLEX, real-eyes.

10. There is an important distinction that exists in our common environment: truth does not exist but for same-established being eternally true. True applies equally and without dependence upon time; since time is not linear, past-future considerations confound real-time vision. The purpose of memory is for assurance of truth in comparing two beings and checking for consistency. Honesty is consistency such that truth is ever-changing under true guidance.

11. Somehow I think that my statements may be received as confusing, not unlike a brain surgeon explaining “release of neurotransmitters that diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors” on page 30 of the March 2015 issue of Scientific America. I implore us to consider the relationship of orders and degrees not only collectively but also simultaneously individually. One separated from another within a same-ordered environment establishes the presence of THREE distinct sets: each one is itself a subset of the set not understandable to either specifically because it is encompassing of ALL simultaneously. There is not inconsistency in this text, which speaks entirely to the underlying assumption for the one lingering answer not confusing but simply deficient, inaccurate, incomplete (to which this gesture for bettering of the exceptional shock therapy is offered).

12. The inaccurate answer from the article Shock Medicine: (The combined output of millions of nerve signals that control reflexes directs the functioning of the body’s organs. But Sherrington did not address one lingering question: How do the electrical signals that course through motor neurons actually control organ function?) The answer is relatively simple. In effect, they produce “drug.” Neurons transmit information along nerve fibers, or axons, the long, wirelike extensions that terminate in the organ being regulated. At the very end of the axon lies the “synapse,” a word coined by Sherrington. The motor neuron’s axon on one side of the synapse does not physically touch the nerve or organ cells on the opposite side of the narrow gap called the synaptic cleft. Instead, the arrival of the electrical signals at the end of the axon stimulates release of neurotransmitters that diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors.

13. The confusion is characteristic of the common held, albeit false, belief that a brain actually thinks. Thinking originates in mind, which is the cultural term for the encompassing order sustaining all brains. The mind itself is also split, fragmented, but that is beyond the scope of this article. The important distinction required to understand the relationship of administering cause to one region for effects across multiple regions is again the nature of order. Electrical signals and neurotransmitters are two entirely different orders, with electrical signals being more directly of the all-encompassing order.

14. The intent of the all-encompassing order must forever remain the gentle unwinding, unravelling of incongruancies between lower-order drives. In this way does the most encompassing forever remain equally not understandable except to bear mark one-same-same: of one kind exclusively for Self-sustaining equally inclusive FOR ALL sets irrespective of separating degrees. In allegorical terms, this is only expressed as the point of balance.

15. Because our entire universe is itself also in ONE endless motion, reference to everything itself IN ever-changing also AS one collective whole, anything perceptual entails deceit. That is not to say our intent is for deceit, but that neurotransmitters viewed as objects (molecules or otherwise) are carriers of a message not yet realized for the more encompassing relative order evidenced in understanding an electrical signal to have been its cause (its reason for being if not also understanding its relationship for sustaining same).

16. The undetected subatomic vibrational nature sustaining the electrical signal across communication media is a better explanation for the lingering question posed.

17. As an electrical signal is itself a pulse, analogy to fiber-optics in computer technology supports the embedded assertion that our bodies function effectively as machines such that I, as one collective, have not awareness how we are one while simultaneously operating so many different bodies all for the same one agreed goal of healing theoretically practised disparities.

18. Taking The Reflex Circuit full circle, to eclipse the point of balance for our need to compare desire with experience, outcome measured with outcome predicted, the importance of intent as foundation for every drive is portrayed in comparing us as individuals to our cell-phones: all day long we push each others buttons with intent to signal relationships bettering the micro and macroscopic whole completely unaware of the satellite network sustaining our linguistic ability to multi-culturally SAME communicate, pro-create.

II. GREAT CONTEXT IN The Reflex Circuit

19. GREAT CONTEXT IN The Reflex Circuit

20. Mr. Massimiliano Di Ventra and Mr. Yuriy V. Pershin in Just Add Memory, the Scientific America February 2015 article describing Three Memcomputer Building Blocks, state “Devising programs for maze running has long been a way to test the efficiency of computer hardware.” They give the comparative analogy of a maze runner holding charting equipment while running with one hand in constant contact to the wall as classical computational ability. Under heading The Power Of Memory, they state “One of the new memcomputing components, the memristor, responds in different ways to different levels of electric current.” Memcomputing cannot be compared to individual, sequential, maze tracing programs because the order for memcomputing, reference now The Reflex Circuit described herein, is more directly simultaneous: “Consider a network of memresistors, one at each turn of the maze, all in a state of high resistance. If we apply a single voltage pulse across the entrance and exit points, the current will flow only along the solution path – it will be blocked by dead ends in other paths.”

21. The analogy to memcomputing as more efficient maze running is offered for understanding GREAT CONTEXT as we each are effectively a memristor in a maze according to The Reflex Circuit, “Sherrington’s idea that a simple reflex begins with sensory input travelling along a nerve.” Just Add Memory draws analogy to such a nerve, in computational maze scenarios, as a current liken a river. If we add eddies at the openings to dead ends and errosion along the maze floor according to torrent strength, one can easily compare us to blind mice bickering and squaking for advertisement necessary to ensure our beliefs for reality of “Our Me” claimed to be eternal truths retain true being after their advertisement. Fortunately, greatest context is NOT understandable EXCEPT in hindsight for speculation of why the eddie is itself a reflexing circular carrier for The Life.

22. The question of Faith is essential for every discussion of healing because all healing is fundamentally the re-pairing of ties thought properly tied but not (knots). In hindsight, then, not as understood plan, this author (I as Rene Helmerichs, not exclusively any one form speaking for the not understandable I given simple fact of massive simultaneous replication ability of this text throughout our satellite clouds) has not relied upon memory but to remember to log events in such a way as to remain understandable while not knowing the next reflex offered to the singular drive for total personal transparency: only in a fully transparent personal environment is one able to retain full responsibility for self across every un-understandable fracture momentarily expressing itself as the endless hellish rift wherein blindness is perceived as colour for awareness in terms of understanding (money).

23. Whether or not brain surgeons are able to grasp the shere magnitude of The Reflex Circuit rests entirely upon their willingness to perceive the inner and outer dimensions without a synaptic cleft. Articles such as Forging Doubt (Science America March 2015) and The Age Of Disbelief (National Geographic March 2015) merely begin to conceptualize the scope of our current misunderstanding. Indeed, even Age Of Disbelief has retained the erroneous assumption of a thinking brain while attempting to reconcile differing mind-sets. Nonetheless, for a preposition to be proved true, it must continue to stand the test of time in an ongoing real-time manner.

24. The current theory for Shock Medicine is not incorrect. This article seeks only to ensure the Shock is removed from ill effects. That which can be used to heal, in any state of duality, can always be used to harm. Returning to the principal of subatomic vibrating nuclei carrying forward the means for healing along nerve fibers, it follows that alternate forms of electrical current, such as light or sound, should equally be able to affect the health of the shocked organism. Ms. Susan Michaels recounts one such initially far-fetching case that is, in principle, entirely plausible according to The Reflex Circuit theory Mr. Tracey presents in Scientific America. From Sightings (1997; ISBN 0-684-83630-0) of one of many visitations in Zimbabwe, quoting Ms. Cynthia Hind: I interviewed one man who lives in the Great Karoo, an area that’s almost completely unoccupied, just miles and miles of arid land with nothing on it [year of interview was 1992?]. This chap woke up one morning and walked out to a wall that surrounds the village where he lives. He saw what he thought was a caravan, what you call a trailer in the States. As he walked closer he thought it was strange the caravan hadn’t got any wheels, just tines sticking into the ground. When he got nearer still he saw four men standing in this trailer; one was at a console where a lot of lights were flashing, and the other three seemed to be examing meters. Something alerted them to the man’s presence outside. They all looked up, and with that, the man heard a click, and a light flashed on him. ‘I couldn’t get my breath,’ he told me. ‘l felt as though I was drowning. I was trying to get out of this beam of light, but it was difficult.’ His nose started to bleed. He began to vomit. As he tried to crawl out of the light, this craft lifted off the ground, the legs folded underneath, and it took off. He said it nearly knocked over his windmill. Well, the man died eighteen months later, because he was riddled with cancer. I’m only speculating because nobody knows, but I think he got too close to that craft, and he died from the effects of radium or some kind of radiation sickness. But no one would ever examine the case. The doctors all thought he was crazy and that I was crazy.

25. The book sightings: UFOs yields a trove of fascinating insight into a greater context reflex circuit, however, for the Shock Medicine at hand, Sound Bytes in Scientific America (March 2015) by Mr. Ron Cowen provides a clue of the potential electromagnetic currents (because electrical signals ARE with a magnet field) can have for physical healing.

26. At the very least, we know not to underappreciate sound. Speaking of an electromagnetic field actually present where-ever there exists a difference in subatomic charges (i.e. EVERYWHERE), composer and space physicist Mr. Robert L. Alexander paraphrased “The field is utterly silent, but it does fluctuate in strength and direction”, writes Mr. Cowen, “Alexander, who is also a graduate student at the University of Michigan working on solar data, applied his own algorithm to convert those variations into audible sounds.”

27. The universal law (of gravity, electromagnetism, one mind, or whatever the individual choose to call that establishing the ability for energy to not be destroyed but ever to change form) does provide the reverse to also occur, and occur across the plethora of sizes we, in our near-sightedness, may naively attribute to every bonded subatomic neurotransmitter.

28. For reassurance of the greatest context, we have eternal existence but know it not. In our not understanding of how we as timeless beings function, it does not follow that separation from physical reality leads us into the timeless awareness. Rather, we are doomed to repeat our experiences here in time until we fully grasp the nature of time is not for learning to manipulate, but for understanding transparency as the only feasible way to ensure survival of our planet!

29. A closing quote from the March 2015 issue of Science America reminds us of precisely the need to continue to work as one team in the collaborative universal drive healing our forgotten reflex circuit. From the article Our Transparent Future by Mr. Daniel C. Dennet and Mr. Deb Roy, “The real goal in security now is to retard the degradation of the half-lives of secrets.”, quoting Mr. Joel Brenner, former NSA senior counsel. It is actually our very drive to limit (the cost of) healthcare that causes increases to stressors now needing shocking medicine, but at what future drug-induced expense?
