Urania 111:1.5 (1216.6) Mortal mind is a temporary intellect system loaned to human beings for use during a material lifetime, and as they use this mind, they are either accepting or rejecting the potential of eternal existence. Mind is about all you have of universe reality that is subject to your will, and the soul—the morontia self—will faithfully portray the harvest of the temporal decisions which the mortal self is making. Human consciousness rests gently upon the electrochemical mechanism below and delicately touches the spirit-morontia energy system above. Of neither of these two systems is the human being ever completely conscious in his mortal life; therefore must he work in mind, of which he is conscious. And it is not so much what mind comprehends as what mind desires to comprehend that insures survival; it is not so much what mind is like as what mind is striving to be like that constitutes spirit identification. It is not so much that man is conscious of God as that man yearns for God that results in universe ascension. What you are today is not so important as what you are becoming day by day and in eternity.

What Is ChatGPT and How Does It Work?

If ChatGPT succeeds in doing the work for you without your intervention, the model will likely replace you on the job soon. Or if ChatGPT makes a massive error, you’ll be at risk of losing your job for failing to manage its risks.

Dad was conceived during the summer of 1929 just after the peak of  the Spanish, which ought to be called the Kansas flu. He was eight when the depression began, twenty when WW2 broke, and newly married to our mother. The marriage was formalized in Lake Charles, Louisiana, since Mom was too young  to marry, even  in Texas. She was sixteen at the time.

 Zòt konné konmen mo konné mo çé bitako? M’ap bwa tafya dan bokal

You know how I know that I’m a hick.  I drink moonshine out of a jar.

In French, including Cajun French, this would be something like: 

Tu sais comment je sais que je suis un bitaco. Je bois tafya  d’un bocal.  

Google  Trans set for Haitian Creole gives:

Ou konnen ki jan mwen konnen ke mwen se yon bitaco. Mwen bwè bwason ki soti nan yon bokal.

“Bitaco” is in Cajun French, Kouri-Vini and Haitian Creole, but not in standard French, including Canadian French. Tafya is both K-V and Cajun French, but nor Haitian.

For standard info see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Creole and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_French

Kouri-Vini has only 6000 speakers left, Louisiana French maybe 200,000.

< All known mammalian prion diseases were caused by the prion protein (PrP) until 2015, when a prion form of alpha-synuclein was hypothesized to cause multiple system atrophy (MSA).[10]

The text provides a comprehensive overview of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and its underlying mechanisms. It explains that PD is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by the loss of dopamine receptors in the substantia nigra region of the brain. The symptoms of PD include disruptions in gait, freezing of steps, loss of balance, facial-masking, altered handwriting, weakened voice, slow movements, tremors, rigidity, and a general loss of dexterity.

The text also describes the role of dopamine in the brain and its impact on motor control. It explains that dopamine released by the substantia nigra amplifies activity in the direct pathway between the cortex and muscle nerves, supporting cortical activation of movement. Reduction of dopamine in the substantia nigra leads to a decrease in “higher” direct cortical control of muscles. Additionally, dopamine is important in regulating the frequency of brain waves, particularly in the basal ganglia and subthalamic regions, which are important for the preparation of voluntary movements.

The text mentions that while pharmaceuticals like levodopa can alleviate the symptoms of PD, there is currently no cure for the disease. It also discusses Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as a non-pharmaceutical option that has been effective in relieving symptoms in many PD patients.

Overall, the text provides a detailed and informative explanation of PD, its symptoms, and the underlying mechanisms involved. It also highlights the current limitations in treatment options and the ongoing research in the field.

Kampavata and Chinese Approaches to PD

Parkinson’s Disease (Kampavata): Understanding the Ayurvedic Approach – California College of Ayurveda

Medical research has determined the cause of the condition to be a loss of function of specialized cells in the brain stem which stimulate the production of the neurotransmitter, dopamine.

Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies are currently defined by their clinical features, with α-synuclein pathology as the gold standard to establish the definitive diagnosis. We propose that, given biomarker advances enabling accurate detection of pathological α-synuclein (ie, misfolded and aggregated) in CSF using the seed amplification assay, it is time to redefine Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies as neuronal α-synuclein disease rather than as clinical syndromes. This major shift from a clinical to a biological definition of Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies takes advantage of the availability of tools to assess the gold standard for diagnosis of neuronal α-synuclein (n-αsyn) in human beings during life. Neuronal α-synuclein disease is defined by the presence of pathological n-αsyn species detected in vivo (S; the first biological anchor) regardless of the presence of any specific clinical syndrome  <
