Myopia... by dali48 on HP
12.02.2010 - Interpretation of dali48
Scientists puzzle over the reasons why myopia (nearsightedness) is nowadays a problem for more people than before. One thesis: For people prefering to stay at home certain growth processes of the eyeball are not regulated by light. Too much sugar also harms the eye... In Germany, about every 3rd person is affected, in the major cities of Asia already 90% are affected...
While the Australians spent on average 2 hours per day outdoors, the students from Singapore came only to 30 minutes of fresh air daily...
"There is a brake for myopia," said the biologist (I. Morgan), "if you can go outside as often as possible"...
It is clear now that inheritance plays a large role. Twin studies show that if one twin is myopic the probability for the other is at 90%...
Eye expert F Schäffeler from the University of Tübingen: "With 2 myopic parents the chance of being short-sighted oneself doubles or triples." In contrast, L. Cordain of Colorado State University provides that the cause of the rampant myopia lies in the sugared Nutrition (hidden and camouflaged sugar substitutes in food, etc. - d.48) of our time...
In fact, the consumption of soft drinks, sweets and sugared breakfast Ceralien has similar risen as the rate of short-sightedness in recent years. And in chickens there arose a severe myopia, after they had injected them insulin...
There is no preventative treatment till now. Glasses, contact lenses and corneal surgeries with the laser only change the refraction of light fix, but not the problem of the eyeball... (Rhine Post, 12.02.2010)
Interpretation of dali48
Myopia "nearsightedness" (AmE), "shortsightedness" (BrE) is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus but in focus when looking at a close object...
Eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power (i.e. are concave) which compensates for the excessive positive diopters of the myopic eye... The National Institutes of Health says there is no known way of preventing myopia, and the use of glasses or contact lenses does not affect its progression. There is no universally accepted method of preventing myopia; proposed procedures have not been studied for effectiveness...
A number of alternative therapies exist including eye exercises and relaxation techniques, such as the Bates method. However, the efficacy of these practices is disputed by scientists and eye care practitioners. A 2005 review of scientific papers on the subject concluded that there was "no clear scientific evidence" that eye exercises were effective in treating myopia... The global prevalence of refractive errors has been estimated from 800 million to 2.3 billion. The incidence of myopia within sampled population often varies with age, country, sex, race, ethnicity, occupation, environment, and other factors. Variability in testing and data collection methods makes comparisons of prevalence and progression difficult...
A number of studies have shown the incidence of myopia increases with level of education, and many studies have shown a correlation between myopia and a higher intelligence quotient (IQ)...
Heredity appears as an important factor associated with juvenile myopia, with smaller contributions from more near work, higher school achievement and less time in sports activity... Many instances of myopic individuals have emerged in popular culture, though not always accurately. One such instance is in William Golding's Nobel Prize-winning novel Lord of the Flies, which features a character named Piggy who is very nearsighted, and as a result, wears thick glasses...

Man of Tao... by dali48 on HP
01.02.2001 - Interpretation of dali48
Once you let go of all burdens, it is the authority of the "tao" left to unbundle things, and now live only here and now. - There is very little material for your thoughts with which you can refer to rotatingly…
Rest will move into your spirit and your soul. The past does not stick to you like a pot of glue - and the future has lost its terrors - and its uncertainty… For soon you will know from experience - for a man of "tao" there is nothing to believe - he learned that his affairs are in good hands... (T. Fischer)
Interpretation of dali48
Tao or Dao is a Chinese word meaning 'way', 'path', 'route', or sometimes more loosely, 'doctrine' or 'principle'... The concept of Tao differs from conventional (western) ontology, however; it is an active and holistic conception of Nature, rather than a... In most belief systems, Dao is used symbolically in its sense of 'way' as the 'right' or 'proper' way of existence, or in the context of ongoing practices of attainment or of the full coming into being... Dao is usually described in terms of elements of nature, and in particular as similar to water. Like water it is undifferentiated, endlessly self-replenishing, soft and quiet but immensely powerful, and impassively generous... Wuwei (Pinyin: wúwéi) or naturalness are contingent on understanding and conforming to this inner nature, which is interpreted...
"Dao means a road, path, way - and hence, the way in which one does something - method, doctrine, principle"...The Dao is what gives Daoism its English name... There is no single orthodox Daoist view of Dao. All forms of Daoism center around Dao and De, but there is a broad variety of distinct interpretations among sects and even individuals... The Dao De Jing is the oldest text and representative of a speculative and philosophical approach to the Dao... A Taoist monk practicing Chinese calligraphy with water on stone. Water calligraphy, like sand mandalas, evokes the ephemeral nature of physical reality... Alternatively, philosophical Daoism regards the Dao as a non-religious concept; it is a not a deity to be worshiped, nor is it a mystical Absolute in the religious sense of the Hindu Brahman...

Dhyana was translated as ch'an (and later as zen), giving Zen Buddhism its name... Cut off words and meaning is emptiness. Emptiness is the Dao. The Dao is cutting off words and speech... Ch'an (Zen) Buddhists regard the Dao as synonymous with both the Buddhist Path (marga) and the results of it; the Eightfold Path and Buddhist enlightenment (satori)...
Cheng Yi followed this interpretation, elaborating on this perspective of Dao through teachings about yin-yang interactions, the cultivation and preservation of life... He (C.S. Lewis) asserted that every religion and philosophy is an attempt to line up with the Tao - the way mankind was designed to be...
Axel Schuessler's etymological dictionary presents two possibilities for the tonal morphology of dào 道 "road; way; method"... Many languages have borrowed and adapted Chinese dao 道 "the way" as a loanword... In Sino-Xenic languages, 道 is pronounced as Japanese dō, tō, or michi...
The dao/dao "the way" English word of Chinese origin has three meanings, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
1. a. In Daoism, an absolute entity which is the source of the universe; the way in which this absolute entity functions.
1. b. = Daoism, daoist
2. In Confucianism and in extended uses, the way to be followed, the right conduct; doctrine or method... (Wikipedia)

“I have always been interested in the Chinese culture , their ways are gentle and I love the way they enter mix with the soft voices and mind matters of nature, a lot like the Native , who also believe in the path of nature to be the right path ... when we consider the connection we have with nature the hold the universe has on us ... we become one ... a gentle and soft nature appears in us ... having respect for all around us ... small story ... As I swam in in the deep hole of the brook I visit, I felt as if I were part of all around me , the feel of the water gentle on my body , as I lay with the small ripple of the brook running over me I became part of all ... peaceful , loved ... thank you dali48 for the return of these gentle feelings”...

Impression without expression excites disease...
Kidneys and adrenal glands regulate, among other things, the emotions that express themselves in high blood pressure, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, shortness of breath etc. Lung and heart, vivifier and mover of our blood - The connection between the psychic and the lung becomes evident when the diseased lungs: breathing in the corset, in negation, being fixed at oneself, illusion, doubt, and mania for criticism, compared to the opposition of the world. Psychosomatic Research indicates that the asthma attack in asthmatics withdraws from the problems and thus speaks "no to the world"... (O. Koob)
Interpretation of dali48
They (adrenal glands) are chiefly responsible for releasing hormones in response to stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids such as cortisol and catecholamines such as epinephrine. The adrenal glands affect kidney function through the secretion of aldosterone, a hormone involved in regulating the osmolarity of blood plasma...
