Thank you for clarifying that. I saw the possibility
that you were 'buzzing' me because of comments,
with respect to "habituation", that are in AoK.

It's easy [of course] - 'blindly'-automated
TD E/I-minimization =and= the way folks
'blindly'-and-automatically 'move away from'

Jesus Thanked and Acknowledged them,
while Praying for them. See John 17. ~"I pray
not only for these, but for those who will believe
through them."
Jesus Honored what folks do.

Explain how it's so, Peter.

Are you saying that Jesus was a 'drug addict'?
Are you saying that I Acknowledge Jesus'
Priority for 'reasons' other than the Reasons
I've clearly-stated all along?
What are you saying, Peter?
Please be Explicit.
> If you believe that Jesus was the "Son of God" (etc.) -
I do.
And I've explained why I do.
My Faith came in a 'secondary' way.
After working long and hard, with the
best experimental data that Science
has produced, my jaw hung down
be-cause, when I looked, I saw that
Jesus Knew! how Human nervous
systems process information.
How could it be, Peter?
~2000 'years' ago, long before
the Scientific Method was con-
ceived?
How could Jesus Know?
I can't 'explain' it.
All I can see is that Jesus Knew!
Truth, inherent, must be Honored.
Period.
I'll listen, with interest, to anyone's
attempts to 'explain' how it could
be that Jesus Knew!
Meanwhile, I Believe, as you assert,
above.

:-]
It's flat-out Obvious that Jesus Knew!
how Human nervous systems process
information, Peter.
Did you follow my discussion during my
last-'year's Lenten devotion?
I laid-it-all-out.
So who is is who is being, as you
say 'evasive'?
I'm =not= saying that it's 'easy', Peter.
It's 'hard'.
But it's 'just' Truth.
And, to the degree that Truth is 'moved
away from', all is Lost, isn't it?
Yup - be-cause Truth does what it does
regardless of what anyone does.

I've read of 'attempts' to 'explain' such
through 'neuroscience'.
But, please get, and keep, straight what
it is that I've said, Peter.
NDT discloses, "x, y, z, etc." with respect to
the way that nervous systems process-
information.
All of this is Verified by the Proven
Neuroscience Experimental results.
When =anyone= looks, they'll see
that Jesus said "a, b, c, etc." about Human
behavior, which, when one looks, one
sees is =exactly= what "x, y, z, etc." mean
with respect to Human behavior.
There's no 'wishful thinking' involved, Peter.
There's 'just' this Verified correlation between
what the Neuroscience Experiment results
say and what Jesus said.
So, as far as I'm concerned, it's folks who
'refuse' to see what's in-there who are being
'evasive'.

I already have, Peter. It's all 'just' 'blindly'-
automated TD E/I-minimization, left un-
comprehended.
And I've explained how all of this happens
within nervous systems, all in a way that
reduces to the Proven Neuroscience
Experimental results.

Ho, ho, ho :-]
It's in-there, but, yes, it's never been
my purpose to use NDT's understanding
as a 'prying-instrument' - as a means to
'coerse' folks' behavior.
My Puropse has been 'just'-the-opposite
stuff.
Give folks the facts, and let folks decide.
You know - Honor Free Will.
Hence, the result that you feel is "far
too tepid".
But Truth is in-there, Peter, as is my
awareness of the way nervous systems
'move away from' Truth.

It's Funny. I've seen one diagram that
was in my 1982 NRL Paper Published
in other folks names.
My 1982 NRL Paper was diagrammatic
in it's entirety [with captions].

=Yes=!!!
It's just that NDT's stuff has been
withheld from those on whose be-
halves it was done.
Censored before it was Published.
So I came here, to b.n, to 'work-
through' what needed to be 'worked-
through', with respect to getting NDT's
stuff to those on whose behalves it
was done.

Unfortunately, it cannot just be 'moved
away from', because that'd enable it to
become a 'determining' thing.

Why it's so is Reified, sufficiently, in
AoK.
But, sometimes, one just finds one's
self in-Obligation to Truth that's merely-
'unfamiliar' to others, Peter.
There's no way around the 'Difficulty'
inherent, is there?
Nope.

I do hold folks in my 'heart'. Doing
so is some of what makes what's
fallen to me to do, endurable.
I can see what folks cannot [yet]
see, so I can also see that I must
hold folks in my 'heart', and, so,
when I do so, I can see that I'm
doing what needs to be done, and
so seeing, helps me continue, see? :-]

If one acts in ways that elevate TD E/I
above the amygdalar-priming threshold
[AoK, Ap5], one's actions become self-
defeating.

It does not matter with respect to Truth,
but, Truth is, that what folks've deemed
to be 'human nature' is =just= as I said,
above - learned-acquiesence toabsence-
of-understanding.

It's all 'just' WDB2T, and, through ranging-
widely, WDB2T can be safely-followed,
in an ever-'climbing' way that 'moves
toward' Truth.

It's 'just' 'Hard', Peter, not 'impossible'.
And it's 'Hard' only be-cause it's rel-

happenstance, TD E/I(up)-generating.
