There also seems to be a set point for morality—a point at which we feel that we’re being “good enough” and then stop trying. One study, for example, had a group of people imagine performing some good deed (cleaning a park area of a university). The people who did the imagining were then more likely to cheat on a game that would give them money than a control group, who did not imagine performing a good deed beforehand. This suggests that even thinking about doing something good can get you to let yourself morally off the hook, free to do something bad. What’s more, people who buy “green” products are, everything else being equal, subsequently more likely to cheat and steal. This offsetting of good behavior is known as moral licensing.

DIETARY LICENSING

There’s also a phenomenon we may call “dietary licensing”—a person who snacks on just doughnuts on one occasion will, on another occasion, eat more doughnuts if they’re paired with a salad.

There’s also a phenomenon we may call “dietary licensing”—people who take dietary supplements engage in more unhealthy behaviors. The set point for healthy eating also makes people think that calories from good foods somehow subtract calories from the bad. So a person who snacks on just doughnuts on one occasion will, on another occasion, eat more doughnuts if they’re paired with a salad. Eating the salad actually makes you eat more doughnuts, because you feel you are doing something healthy to offset them. (This effect is stronger for people who are trying to lose weight!)

SET POINTS -HOMEOSTASIS

Set points appear at many levels, and our survival usually depends on them not changing too drastically. Our body, for example, has many regulatory systems that work like a thermostat, keeping our bodies in equilibrium. Your brain has to stay near 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or really, really bad things will start to happen. If it rises only a few degrees, you start convulsing, and a few degrees more and you’re dead. Your body has several strategies for maintaining the optimum temperature: increasing or decreasing blood flow through dilation, decreasing brain activity, or even the outright destruction of nerve cells. We have similar systems at work for pH levels, our endocrine system, and many others.

EVOLN

theory of evolution is simple. It rests on three pillars: variation, selection and inheritance. Variation stems from random genetic mutations, which create genetically distinct individuals. Natural selection favours “fitter” individuals, with those better suited than others to a particular environment prospering and producing the most offspring. Inheritance means that these well-adapted individuals pass their characteristics down the generations. All this eventually leads to new adaptations and new species.

How does natural selection create so much complexity so fast? A bold new theory says it learns and remembers past solutions just as our brains do

BDHA-5 DISTRACTIONS

Mind-wandering is partly a problem because it disturbs us emotionally. Research has shown that we’re distracted—i.e. thinking about something unrelated to what we’re doing—almost half the time. It also shows that these distractions make us unhappy. Traditional Buddhist teachings agree, and point to five different types of distractions that we get caught up in.

We crave pleasant experiences,
we think about things that annoy or anger us,
we worry,
we slip into dream-like states (or even into sleep),
and we engage with doubts, telling ourselves stories about our own incompetence or unlovability.

All of these states are painful, lead to pain, or are unsuccessful attempts to deal with (usually unacknowledged) pain.

SC OF CRYING

But crying is more than a symptom of sadness, as Vingerhoets and others are showing. It’s triggered by a range of feelings—from empathy and surprise to anger and grief—and unlike those butterflies that flap around invisibly when we’re in love, tears are a signal that others can see. That insight is central to the newest thinking about the science of crying.

Crying signals to yourself and other people that there’s some important problem that is at least temporarily beyond your ability to cope,” says Jonathan Rottenberg

“There’s an expectation that we feel better after we cry,” says Randy Cornelius, a professor of psychology at Vassar College. “But the work that’s been done on this indicates that, if anything, we don’t feel good after we cry.” When researchers show people a sad movie in a laboratory and then measure their mood immediately afterward, those who cry are in worse moods than those who don’t.

RUNNERS HIGH- ECB, DA

Scientists used to chalk these feelings up to an increased concentration of endorphins, but we now know that the runner’s high comes from the so-called endocannabinoids, or eCBs (named for their molecular resemblance to the active ingredient of cannabis). These are powerful painkillers, released during long-distance running, that also stimulate the secretion of the neurotransmitter dopamine from various neuron populations in the brain. Dopamine is often popularly seen as the brain’s pleasure-inducing reward chemical, and while there is more to it than that, many recreational drugs—including cannabis, of course, but also nicotine, heroin and cocaine—do indeed stimulate the release of dopamine, inhibit its absorption or mimic its actions.

BDHA -PASSING AWAY OF THE WORLD

"And what, monks, is the passing away of the world? Dependent on the eye and forms arise visual consciousness. The concurrence of the three is contact. Conditioned by contact is feeling. Conditioned by feeling is craving. By the utter fading away and cessation of that craving, grasping ceases, by the ceasing of grasping, becoming ceases, by the ceasing of becoming, birth ceases, by the ceasing of birth, decay-and-death, grief, lamentation, suffering, despair, cease. Such is the ceasing of this entire mass of suffering

"I will teach you, monks, how the world comes to be and passes away... What monks, is the arising of the world?

Dependent on eye and forms, arises visual consciousness.

HUA TOU

Examples of Hua Tou[edit]

“What is it?”
“What is this?”
“Who is repeating the Buddha’s name?”
“Who is dragging this corpse around?” (popularized by Hsu Yun)
“Who am I?”
“What was my Original face before my father and mother were born?”
“What is Mu?”

When you practise in this way all thoughts of sleeping, eating and even dying will be forgotten. One just dwells single-pointedly on the hua-t’ou to which one has to awaken. Everything completely falls away — even the thought of awakening itself. If you penetrate the hua-t’ou with great determination, the path of words is cut off and any place for the mind to dwell disappears. It now becomes very transparent, bright and clear. At this time the mature person no longer has any doubts about the words of the great masters. But upon awakening in such a way, the time has come when he must go and see a realized teacher to determine whether his awakening is genuine or not. This is the moment when one has to cut and polish one’s understanding with a good teacher. Yet to people who do not know, one does not say a word. One behaves like a dumb and stupid person. Upon meeting someone else who also knows, a simple movement of the eyes is enough for each to recognize the level of the other’s understanding. In these ways such people respect one another.

BDHA-6 THIEVES-SSSTTM

why is this true nature and wisdom of ours obscured and today we are leading the lives of ordinary sentient beings? It is because of the six thieves (i.e. deluded sense consciousnesses) which proceed from the six roots of the senses. [Sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, mind.] We have to protect ourselves well against these six thieves. Thus although we may have eyes, we should not see anything; although we have ears, we should not hear; although we have a nose, we should not smell; although we have a mouth, we should not speak; and although we have a body, we should not be concerned about the clothes we wear.

NICU-PICU DTHS X NAMES

Now that I’ve practiced for a decade primarily seeing newborns and children, I’ve had many conversations with parents in which I have to convey the news that their child is dying. If there is one fear common among many of these parents, it is that their child will not have lived long enough to have made an impression on anyone outside the family. This is a particular fear among NICU parents of moribund newborns. I try to always call the baby by their name with the intent of indicating to their parents that their newborn’s existence matters, no matter how brief that existence may be.

The removal of a name is an act of depersonalization. The Oxford English Dictionary defines depersonalization as “the action of divesting someone or something of human characteristics or individuality.” It is used to train soldiers and punish prisoners, in both cases with the goal of breaking down the person by distorting their sense of self.

DEPRESSION-SIGECAPS

Sleep? I definitely oscillated between insomnia and hypersomnia.
Interest? Patients, doctors, the hospital were all becoming commonplace. Throughout medical school, I’d jotted down stories of patients and lessons I’d learned. I thought about the last few months and realized entries had ceased (not because I was busy, but because I was no longer interested in what patients could teach me.)
Guilt? I was without a role or purpose. I spent months “pretending to be a doctor” without real input on patient care but with constant pressure to perform and make a positive impression. The reality was my presence felt meaningless to patients and staff alike.
Energy? Gone. Workouts had fallen by the wayside sometime throughout the year. Making it through a shift was all I could ask of myself.
Concentration? I had always enjoyed studying and research, but it seemed I could not focus on topics that interested me (i.e., anemia) let alone those that didn’t (i.e., electrolyte disorders).
Appetite? The question which triggered this exercise in self-diagnosis, most definitely gone.
Psychomotor symptoms? I don’t believe I was manifesting this symptom — of course, I’d always had trouble comprehending exactly what qualifies as psychomotor.
Suicidal? No, but I wonder, if I was, would people notice?

LABS

Here’s a non-medical example of how the same “result” can be interpreted differently, depending on circumstances. You’re home alone late one night in a quiet house, and you hear creaking in the attic. You know that the sound could from be any of a number of things, ranging from the trivial to the serious, so you incorporate additional knowledge to decide how to respond. If it’s a windy day, or it’s a noise that you’ve heard many times and know to be insignificant, you may ignore it. On the other hand, if there have been break-ins in the neighborhood in which the burglars hid in the attic, you may end up calling the police.

healthy person has a 1 out of 20 chance of having an abnormal test (a false positive test), which should make everyone think before ordering.

Furthermore, mastering skills can increase our sense of control in pressure situations. (LeBlanc 2009)

"Duhigg suggests spending your commute imagining your day, envisioning with as much specificity as you can what you expect to happen, step by step. This way, so the theory goes, when something goes awry, you'll spot it quickly, and you can compare it to the script you already worked out in your head... That script helps you figure out how everyday interruptions fit into the big picture--which, in turn, helps you figure out what deserves your attention and what can be ignored," she writes.

In seconds, your subconscious will immediately begin analyzing the patient’s appearance, their clothes, skin, hygiene, body language, eye contact, speech, thought process, do they appear agitated, in pain, scared, etc.
