Biomechanics and Neurology
Neurology is like air. You don't really understand what it is and how important it is till you lose it.
I’ve talked in the past about how these biomechanics connect to neurological diseases, but today i’d like to talk about how it relates to neurology more generally.
Because once you understand this, it makes so much about human behavior a lot easier to understand.
Till a decade ago, I didn’t really understand what neurology was
Until 2014, ‘neurology’ was this vague notion to me. I knew what neurological diseases like Parksinsons and Alzheimers were. But what was neurology?
To me it was just a department in a hospital.
And a department that I’d even been to a few times.
For example I went to see a neurologist when I was living in Spain in 2005. All i remember is that he did a couple of weird tests like tapping on my knee and he said I was fine.
So I went on forgetting what ‘neurology’ was for almost another decade.
But that all changed in 2014.
In 2014 neurology slapped me in the face
2014 was the year that a dentist drilled my back teeth almost flat in Vietnam. I talk about it here so I won’t repeat it:
But essentially I learned what it meant to have your ‘neurology’ plummet. And it is one of those things that you don’t really understand what it is till you lose it.
For example, for most of my adult life I was a very social person. It is what allowed me to travel to 90+ countries (mostly on my own) and live in over 10 countries.
I met and made friends with new people very easily. I loved it.
Then in 2014 after the incident with the dentist, I became like a hermit. I didn’t want to meet or talk to anyone. I preferred just staying in my apartment all of the time if I could.
It is also as if I lost the ability to get along with others. I was actually making more effort, but having far less results.
It was as if I was a walking negative time bomb that people just preferred to stay away from.
I didn’t know what was happening. I was confused.
Why is it that the gift that I’d had my entire life had somehow turned into my biggest weakness?
Then I learned what it means when you ‘improve’ your neurology
In 2015 I was improving as i’d started the Starecta process and feeling better and better. I was learning how these biomechanics worked.
My mood improved and was almost always positive.
People responded positively to me again.
I’d regained my ability to ‘connect’ with others. And i started having more friends and organized some big barbecues at my house with this new bump in popularity.
I literally had done nothing to achieve this progress. Except for of course using these biomechanics to improve my structure.
My neurology seesaw’d for the next six years as I figured this stuff out
So as i’ve said in the past i would get better for awhile and then regress as I was figuring this stuff out from 2015 till i figured it out in mid-2021. And it was very frustrating.
But in hindsight it played an important role.
Because everything that I experienced started falling into patterns that I repeated. And so rather than thinking that this stuff was just some weird thing that happens to me, i started to become very confident that this is simply how these mechanics work on everyone.
Because I could replicate the same improvements again and again and again. And they occurred almost the same every time.
Now my neurology is on a straight line up for four years
My neurology just continues to improve pretty much by the day. I’m not only energized and happy all day long, everyday… but also my ability to connect with others is starting to come back.
The biggest hindrance you realize you had in connecting with them is that you were unable to read them before.
Reading people is the thing I was very strong at when I was young. But when this stuff had me at my lowpoints, it was as if i was blind in reading people.
They could be completely pissed off from what I’d done or said, and I could be thinking they were my best friend. lol
And so now I am reading people much better. Which then allows me to respond to them and connect with them better.
I put together some learnings about neurology
Here are some key lessons I’ve learned about neurology over the years.
Lesson 1: Neurology progresses and digresses, mainly based on these biomechanics
What you consider your personality can completely change if your neurology makes a big swing either upwards or downwards.
I was a relatively popular and social guy who became a hermit. And then came back again. Multiple times.
Lesson 2: Neurology is key to reading people.
To connect with people you need to be able to read them and understand what they are likely feeling and thinking. Otherwise you will be blind and much more likely to turn them off.
Lesson 3: Neurology is controllable and predictable
By using these biomechanics correctly your neurology WILL improve. I’m very confident of it.
I now have not just my own experience to draw from but a number of others from my test group. Including even my own father, son and wife.
Lesson 4: Neurology is the foundation to your personality
You probably think that your personality is this relatively fixed thing. It is a function of all your experiences for your entire life as well as your genetics, your upbringing, etc.
Then you go through an incident like i did in 2014 and 2015 where my personality changed massively. And you realize that no… personality is highly variable.
Because it is a function of neurology, which can swing up and down with these biomechanics.
