As you have not replayed to my comment in livejournal i will e-mail you this instead:
"My one and only problem is that i do not accept any of your theories.
Here are a few, as it would take infinte ammounts of time to prove you wrong (with all due respect) in all your views:
a)Brain does not only activate when it has a problem - imagine you are well-eaten (full), not thirsty, just had sex and a smoke after that. No problems what so ever. Still, your brain is active - you are feeling good - emotions come from brain. Your breath, pulse and other operations of the body are regulated by the brain. If I, for example, were braindead, i would not be able to feel anything. I cannot have a problem when i have no brain activity, so your theory is wrong at the bilogical level (the highest of levels. We have theories because we can think, we can think because we have evolved as such).
b)Yoga and other spiritual acts that give the practicer a good feeling are nothing but brain functions envolving endorphines (Feeling is similar to narcotics) so they do not have role in the evolutionary process. Evolution is PURELY and ALWAYS based on natural selection. Those who are the most alpha (according to current standards in human phychology) get a partner and reproduce. Those who meditate do not get partners (in the grand scheme) and will die out in a century or a two.
Humankind as a whole can be viewed as parasites ihabiting the planet Earth (we shit where we eat, basically, and only species that do that are parasites, bacteria and humans).
c)Being comfortable makes us lazy and we DO NOT aquire new experience. Humans ONLY aquire new knowledge (as proven by evolution) when they are UNcomfortable - when nothing is wrong, we do not want to change anything - it would be unlogical to think otherways.
d)In todays media-rich environment people have to filter informations because of the PHYSICAL limitations of our brains. We can think that we are limitless. We are not. So, regarding that the needs to survive are much more important than mumbo-jumbo about meditation and thinking your brain does something it really does not because you are high on endorphines.
These are only a few of the problems i have. "

to me
I hereby decline your offer on following, as I find it:
a) meaningless - I do not follow the Bible, even if 31.59% of the worlds population belives it is true. If something is scientifically untrue than it is a misteaching and only adds more un-neccesary data to the current over-the-top info flow. I find it same with Your entires. Until proven otherwise and by that, I mean scientifically proven (This happens ONLY by peer review by certified authors, no other ways), i will not clutter my brain with info that might and probably is wrong and un-nessesary.
b) Trivial - most of your enteries have nothing to do with science and express only your personal taste in facts (and cats) that are hand-picked and torn out of context (Again, similar to Christian views on many theories). You have formed them into something, calling it "new", but it is just unrelatable information cluttered together, something similar to most holy texts or the Frankenstein.
c) Uninformative - In many of your teachings there is a strong presence of pseudo-sciences like astrology, different religions mixed together etc. The theory of communication proccesses is already defined by Lotman and countless others very, very clearly. As I have read most of the authors by myself your theories have nothing new to offer. There is nothing left. Alas, you still inisist you have discovered something new.
Personal notes by myself: Humans overinterpret themselves. We try maniacally to find a reason why we exist, why something does something etc. But like it or not, on a cosmological scale we are not more than fly-feces in the grand sceme of things, even less. (recommended viewing material: "the pale blue dot" image and scale chart comparing earth to various other stellar objects in space.)
Alas, if I cannot come to another argreement with you (I have heard that such an agreement has been possible in the past) I will (because I am forced by the Alma Mater you yourself have much love for) do the required groups tasks, but do not expect me to take it more seriously than a Bible camp. "I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight. But I must cross this bridge." (King Arthur)
All future questions are always welcome.

Whether I mentioned that you should take all my words for the final truth?
Vice versa, I told you: go and try by yourself!
My theory is present online. Go, and try your own, if you want.
I'll publish our letter exchange in my blog.
Best,
JG
