Hoi Bonk,
Haven't checked in a while, attempting to view now... Stand by please...
...viewing, in bits and, well, bits...
Ah! Yes, a dynamic somato system. Shore.

Take care,

*Edit* 30:42 (I get it! In this context I get it!
) Agreed, a very well articulated proof of what many traditions have had to require a "leap of faith."
Imagine if the heart wanted to express its passion for the Samba, and changed it's beat to reflect it's identity, the body would expire. Yet when what the Buddhist call the intellectual ego expresses itself, most are unable to see the changes that happen to the body, and one's ability to function effectively in one's environment when it is a gradual process. For the relative few that can slice through the confusion, be it pain, or whatever, having had a massive life challenge such as unlearning and then learning a method of using mind and body that had not been done, in some cases since the person was as young as 3 years old, they have a realization that what was gained by returning to wellness is a blessing greater than what was lost.
I am very pleased to hear that balance was given status as its own sense right from the start. Something I had difficulty with when confronting academic instructors re: balance as sense onto itself, the response, was it was part of hearing, end of discussion. There are many methods out there that, in practice, work with balance as part of the whole, some of which we have discussed a bit, but now we have a new frame of reference, and I think you uncle's work would be worth reviewing, as far as I can tell he was assuming what you are now accepting as a real phenomena. Then again we should try a squadron of DN's first and see how we do.
It was related to me that Magma was in town, married, either first child, or second on the way. My situation has me moving like a landlocked Green Turtle climbing over boulders, so I have not reached out yet, debt has a vice hold of me for now, but, it is a slowly diminishing issue.
Again, take care,
