Re Talk: 317

      ["Gut-level consciousness" exists from the lungs/diaphragm down (Red Circuit) and lungs upward to the base of the skull (Blue Circuit). Yellow Circuit is from base of skull up. If you're satisfied at the gut level (food, sex, shelter), what else is there to being happy? What is Life up to thru man with the Blue Circuit and Yellow Circuit needs, above gut-level needs? Note that they can never be comparably satisfying to gut-level satisfaction. All dreams from above gut-level are automatically unobtainable. Thus they are fueled by institutions that are failures, must be failures. The major human activity is to struggle against boredom (from gut-level up). Witness the development and success of TV. Above gut-level there is the constant need for stimulation: Daydreams. People will do almost anything to keep from being bored, they have no choice, they are designed that way. ]tk notes 317
