Linkages Between Geomagnetic Activity and Blood Pressure
https://www.cureus.com/articles/187974-linkages-between-geomagnetic-activity-and-blood-pressure#!/

Abstract: "This review aims to critically examine and present evidence for and against potential linkages between geomagnetic activity and its effects on blood pressure (BP). Four databases were searched for peer-reviewed papers written in English: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Biomedical Reference Collection. Retrieved titles were first screened for potential relevance followed by an abstract review for further clarifications if warranted. The preponderance of the reported evidence is consistent with the concept that space weather and related events that cause sufficiently large changes in the geomagnetic field (GMF) can impact BP. The associated BP change in most but not all cases is one in which both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure increase, with SBP appearing to be more consistently involved. The magnitude of the reported BP increase ranges from about 3 to 8 mmHg depending on the intensity of the geomagnetic activity. The initiation of these BP changes has been variably reported to occur shortly before the GMF change or in synchrony with the abrupt change in the GMF. Such GMF-linked BP changes are not present in all persons and there appears to be increased sensitivity in women and in persons with co-existing hypertension. The utility of these findings in assessing or treating persons with known or suspected hypertension remains to be determined via future research. Further, research directed at determining the factors that determine responders from non-responders to GMF changes is warranted."

EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION: GOETHEAN POLARITY AND ARCHITECTURE
https://repository.gatech.edu/bitstreams/a38dbbae-c71f-45f7-81b8-8f0b242a3c12/download

"As a historic figure, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) has been drawing interest in contemporary research in humanities due to his involvement in multiple fields such as literature, philosophy, natural sciences and aesthetics while having direct influence on the shaping of the Enlightenment era. Although his body of work has been mostly evaluated under the rubric of phenomenology, this dissertation will aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of his works using his ideas on polarity as the core principle. Polarity stems from Goethe’s early involvement in botany where he describes the development of annual plants through cycles of expansion and contraction as opposite sexual forces of natural productivity. This principle forms the foundation of morphology; a unifying science where Goethe applies polarity to formulate ideas on osteology, geology and color. The thesis will be developed in three main chapters that primarily establish the theoretical aspects of polarity in Goethe’s works and then extends it towards developing a novel morphological understanding of architecture as well as formulating polarity tools for design."

A Mathematical Approach to Model the Ethers by NC Thomas
https://nct.goetheanum.org/ethers.htm

"When dealing with the states of matter we worked with point linkages between space and counter space. For the ethers (as the more subtle aspects of reality are called by Steiner) we are concerned with planar linkages. The most suitable linkage tensor for light is the contravariant bivector, represented by a cone in counter space (dual to the oriented-circle-representation in space). It is suitable for polar affine linkages characteristic of light. This turned out to be an investigation of actual counter space cones acting as photons, the polar area of a photon cone being constant. Thus photons are initially neither waves nor particles. Their polar area embraces the whole of the apparatus and so the "spooky" multi-path type experiments of modern physics may be more comprehensible. Reflection, refraction, absorption and diffraction are all treated on this basis ..."

A Brief Summary of the Four Ethers by Nick Thomas
https://www.aetherforce.energy/the-four-ethers-by-nick-thomas/

In spiritual science we find four stages of creation; an outpouring of will which gives rise to warmth, then the action of wisdom to bring light and order into the chaotic will, then the introduction of movement, and finally the expression of the result in form. We can trace these stages in our thinking, for we would not think at all without the necessary inner will; then wisdom enters when we start to grasp a thought, an inner movement follows as we shape the result into a final thought form. What can happen next? Spiritual form is shattered! There is no other further step. Rudolf Steiner describes matter as arising from such shattered spiritual form.

Light ether: macroscopic organising and expansion.
Chemical ether: microscopic organising and contraction.
Life ether: macroscopic organising that is contractive opposing the light ether, mic

"People have wondered about how the universe came in to existence or by what laws it operates ever since we started living in caves. In this first part, the background to the physics discoveries that lead to modern physics are discussed in simple terms and the places where physics went wrong are highlighted. The essential nature of the universe is arrived at in preparation for proceeding to make a universe."

"The single axiom of the Harmonics theory is that ... the universe consists of a wave which develops harmonics and each of these waves does the same."

"The interdisciplinary study of cycles is a very powerful way to learn new things about the universe around us because there is still much fertile ground which has not been picked over by many in the past. The great work done by Dewey, Wheeler, Kondratieff and Chizhevski is in danger of being forgotten. There has been a steady stream of people who have had to rediscover the truth about cycles for themselves. These pages are my attempt to make the information more readily available to others so that there is a chance to build on what has gone before. The Cycles Research Institute is a new organisation formed in late 2004 to continue the work of Ed Dewey and the Foundation for the Study of Cycles. This and CIFA are the main interdisciplinary cycles studies groups around the world.

There are cycles in everything. There are cycles in the weather, the economy, the sun, wars, geological formations, atomic vibrations, climate, human moods, the motions of the planets, populations of animals, the occurrence of diseases, the prices of commodities and shares and the large scale structure of the universe. None of these are independent of each other. Research shows that very different disciplines often find the same cycle periods in their data. The inter-relatedness of all things is an idea who's time has come. The study of cycles is an excellent way to understand this because the periods of cycles are as easy to recognise as fingerprints or DNA sequences."

“THE INVISIBLE HALF OF EVERY BODY IS THOUSANDS OF TIMES GREATER THAN ITS VISIBLE HALF.” - Walter Russell

“Your actual body reaches a long way under the Earth, and very high into the heavens above the Earth. You are seemingly separated from that other invisible part of your body, but actually you are not, for what you think of as your body could not survive five minutes if severed from its extensions from Earth and Space.” - Home Study Course

Radionic Photography is always an interesting topic to dive into. Several different approaches are discussed in this article from the devices of Ruth Drown, George De la Warr, and Philip Chancellor that aimed to capture images of people and conditions on photographic film using unconventional electrical and electromagnetic methods rather than standard optics. The goal was to detect subtle energy fields and patterns related to living things, disease states, and thought processes, and imprint corresponding images on film in these "radionic cameras".

On Connectome and Geometric Eigenmodes of Brain Activity
- Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjB3xGkS_qU
- Article on QRI.org: https://qri.org/blog/eigenbasis-of-the-mind

Video Description: "Join us (QRI's 2023 Visiting Scholars - Ethan Kuntz, Riccardo Volpato, Carlos Martinez Quintero) as we explore a paradigm shift in understanding how the physical structure of the brain shapes its function. Recent work shows how deriving "geometric eigenmodes" from the intrinsic curvature of cortical and subcortical structures can better capture brain dynamics than traditional connectome-based methods.

In this video, we will cover:

- Background on the Connectome Specific Harmonic Waves model and its limitations

- Computing geometric eigenmodes using the Laplace-Beltrami operator on surface meshes and tetrahedral meshes

- Comparing geometric and connectome eigenmodes

- The surprising match between subcortical geometric eigenmodes and functional gradients

- Possible interpretations and future directions for the geometric eigenmodes paradigm

Understanding the brain as a physical dynamical system governed by its geometry provides new insights into constraints on neural computation. Join us as we explore this geometric perspective on the link between brain structure and function.

The presentation covers key concepts and visuals from recent papers at the frontiers of computational neuroscience. We strive to balance clarity, accessibility, and depth in communicating these cutting-edge ideas. Your feedback is welcome - please like, comment, and subscribe!

Interview with Gail Lynn about Harmonic Egg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtJI6YlqM_U
https://harmonicegg.com/integrated-energy-therapy-faqs/

"The Harmonic Egg® / Ellipse® is a patented technology that delivers the frequencies of light, sound, and color to the body in a resonant chamber. The chamber was designed in a dodecagon shape, and it incorporates Tesla mathematics, sacred geometry and the Golden Mean Ratio within its construction."

I personally could not find too much info on this but seems interesting. Red flag on "Tesla Mathematics" though.
