Mozem zalubenie ovladat volou?
Mozem ovladat hnev?
Mozem ovladat tuzbu?
Ak ano, mozem volou oladat stav chemikalii v mojom mozgu.

Zamilování i hněv i touha v člověku vzniknou spontánně, aniž by chtěl, či nechtěl.
Ale venkovní projevy lásky, hněvu i touhy se dají ovládat. Proč by se jinak člověk naučil přetvářce?

Vyberam:

Although it is generally conceded that a wakeful hypometabolic state of increased parasympathetic dominance characterizes almost all forms of meditation in their initial stages, people who have been meditating for years or even decades show marked differences in both their physiological response and their ability to control their own physiology compared with meditators who have only been practicing a short time.

During his 8-day stay in an underground pit, Yogi Satyamurti exhibited a marked tachycardia of 250 beats/min for the first 29 h of his stay. Thereafter, for the next 6.5 days, the ECG complexes were replaced by an isoelectric line, showing no heartbeat whatsoever (see Fig. 1). The experimenters at first thought he had died. Then, 0.5 h before the experiment was due to end on the 8th day, the ECG resumed, recording normal heart rate activity. Satyamurti also exhibited other behaviors similar to hibernating organisms. One of the most economical methods of preserving energy during hibernation requires animals to bring their body temperature down to that of the surrounding environment. Satyamurti, brought out of the pit on the 8th day, cold and shivering, showed a body temperature approximately equal to that maintained in the pit, namely, 34.8°C

Similarly, meditation can have a significant influence in the treatment of hypertension, high cholesterol, and ischemic heart disease and has been found to be effective in the management of acute and chronic pain. Meditation has been shown to have a beneficial effect on a spectrum of human behaviors, ranging from alcohol and drug addiction to creativity and school performance. All of these effects represent significant attempts at increased adaptation to exigencies in the natural as well as man-made environment. Also, because it is a voluntary activity and can be induced at any time, meditation cannot be considered solely as either a hibernating or an estivating response alone
No neviem...
Ak niekto dokaze ovladat svoje telesne funkcie, tak sa pri hneve ani nepozastavi.

Mozog ovláda všetky orgány, len bežný človek nie je naučený ovládať tzv. vegetatívne nervy.
Myslím, že nikto netvrdí, že sa to nedá naučiť trénnigom tak, aby aj tie ovládal vôľou.

Aha..
No ale mame tu teda cloveka - vedomie, ovladajuceho svoje telo. Nie telo ovladajuce cloveka-vedomie.

To vedomie je proces v tele.
Teda telo ovláda telo.
Bežný autonómny sys.
Ako všetky živé org.
