Happy hump day fellow human,
Longer one again this week, so let’s get straight in.
The top shared media, excerpts from program 2 in the Somatic Academy: ‘What if Love Was Your Highest Expression? Why Separation Is the Root of Our Suffering and How the Body Can Save Us:
The third most shared video of the week related to the global and institution-penetrating nature of Lowest Expression Inclusion Culture. A child who was not Catholic enrolled in a Catholic school, complained, and it went all the way to the High Court, and the judge ruled in favour of the child because Catholic teaching is ‘indoctrinating.’ This decision was delivered with commentary on the necessity to be critical and objective. So using the same, critical, and objective lens, we find that children who go to Catholic schools report three times higher sense of belonging, 30% lower liklihood of being bullied, higher sense of self-worth, have a higher sense of meaning from life, feel more prepared for work and relationships outside of school, are more likely to have volunteered in their community in the last 12 months, which predicts not only higher empathy scores but it does so through lower IL-6 (as regular readers know, thats the one that upregulates excitatory synpases). Which means one child reverses all of those outcomes for all. Why? They have a different worldview. This is the chronic misinterpretation of our age. Everyone has a worldview. Everyone will be running on software. The child, the judge, the school. Does it have to be your grandmother’s thumb drive? No. Should we reference science and the greater good? Yes. We keep sacrificing healthy kids for the crying baby. Kids with no ancestral history of oppression are told they have blood on their hands. Kids with no history of violence are told they have hidden discrimination in their hearts. Kids enjoying three times higher sense of belonging are told one kid doesn’t like the in-grouping protocol, as fans of Seinfeld will remember: “No soup for you!” No one gets fed. Morally, intellectually and spiritually bankrupt.
The second most-shared video relates to the power of breath to remodel our brain. Before we talk about how, what we need to acknowledge is: If good breathwork changes the brain, what does bad breathwork do? That is, dysregulated breathing patterns, which are inherent to panic disorder, autism and ADHD. So what was observed? Breathing at six breaths per minute, which releases endogenous opioids, led to growth in the OFC region of the brain. Is this region of the brain important? Linking to our previous video, activation is positively associated in religiously affiliated people with feelings of unity with God. Outside of that, it is underactivated and smaller in ADHD, ODD and panic disorder. What was correlated with changes in the region after the intervention? Lower negative affect and better emotional regulation. For those interested, we practice this six-breaths-per-minute routine and lots more breathing exercises in Program 2 of the Somatic Academy.
Yesterday's video was the most shared. We looked at trauma, prenatal stress and early life adversity. All three change the stress gene: Fkbp5. Small instructions (epigenetic changes) are placed on it, ramping up responsiveness to stress and predicting ADHD diagnosis in children once they went to school. They didn’t pick up a personality trait on the way in, deciding to be inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive. They are simply carrying out predictable responses from the DNA soup they were given. DNA soup that responded to scarcity. The currently spineless care industry tells them that it is their identity, throws magic beans like confetti that have a deleterious effect on the bodily vessel (more on that in a moment) and sends them on their way so no one has any responsibility for taking a body to safety. And, if we continue our Seinfeld theme, what happens if Bizarro World existed? Short yoga interventions, silent retreats, breathwork, and pulling the trifecta on your grandmother's cultural thumb drive: church attendance are all associated with methylation changes in the opposite direction. We have to stop using children as stress and trauma sinks and telling them surviving can only be done with a prescription. It shows no reverence for this rare gift of life we have been provided.
Time for an update on program 3, ‘A Fragile Elevation.’ Given the topics we have just run through, perhaps we show the evil the world is capable of before bookending the investigation with this week's Monday meditation, which lifts our emotional state to a more positive place.
This is the growth of the most popular ADHD medication in Australia.
It received a huge kick in 2023, and in years since then, but these are the latest government figures held. Why the bounce? Because of an ADHD Senate Inquiry chaired by the Greens. Why is a party that used to strap itself to old-growth trees in Tasmania interested in ADHD? Let’s hear what their recommendation was:
“The Australian Greens recommend the National Disability Insurance Agency improve the accessibility and quality of information around the eligibility of ADHD as a primary condition under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), including (but not limited to)… completion of neurodivergent-affirming training, including modules on ADHD, by all NDIA [National Disability Insurance Agency] staff and contractors.”
Weird. An inquiry into ADHD not focused on alleviating suffering and dropping diagnoses, instead training front-line staff to affirm diagnoses?
Did they get it? Sure did.
“The committee recommends the Australian Government implement, through the Department of Health and Aged Care, a neurodiversity-affirming public health campaign to shift social attitudes and stigma associated with ADHD and to improve public awareness and promote education.”
You see those words? ‘Shift social attitudes and stigma.’ Do we quarantine that with our ‘indoctrination’ discussion, objectively and critically? Or do we only see software updates from one direction?
Anyway, it all becomes clear when we realise the Greens simply wanted to spawn new voters.
It’s chosen to in-group via mental illness. How enlightened. We shouldn’t be surprised, because, funnily enough, most Green voters don’t care much about the environment anymore (hence kicking out the party's Australian founder when he refused to remove a Facebook post questioning if gender was fluid). Instead, they are simply an anti-social cohesion party. You can predict a Green voter today, because more than any other party, they score higher on:
Willingness to claim government benefits.
Willingness to avoid paying for public transport.
Willingness to cheat on taxes.
Willingness to accept a bribe.
So it makes sense that this party is willing to sacrifice children for ideology. But of course, the evil isn’t only located in one place. Another recommendation was:
“…increase the range of healthcare professionals, particularly GPs and nurse practitioners, who can contribute to assessment and support services for people with ADHD.”
Oh wow, every local doctor can hand out a diagnosis and magic beans? That’s a huge hurdle dropper. Where have we heard that before? Of course:
“AADPA is currently involved in developing several models of care trials between specialists and GPs, particularly in regional areas, and recommends that Australia work toward expanding the professionals involved with diagnosing ADHD.”
Who are AADPA? The Australian ADHD Professionals Association. What are they all about? Well, they were always fond of watching the famous television show with Jamie and Adam busting myths, so they have their own myth-busting factsheet. What myths concern them?
That ADHD is not persistent: “Many families and young people with ADHD were told that ADHD symptoms would reduce and their child would ‘grow out of them’ by adulthood. While sometimes hyperactivity symptoms may reduce as people become adults, this is usually because people find ways to hide their symptoms.”
That ADHD is over-diagnosed: “It is sometimes reported that ADHD is overdiagnosed and that symptoms are a normal part of growing up. Trivialising the symptoms as ‘normal behaviour’ fails to recognise the extent and impact the symptoms of ADHD have on people. We know that ADHD is significantly under-diagnosed in Australia (and most other countries) which has been identified through numerous peer reviewed research studies on the topic.”
Yep, no alleviation of suffering here. Simply, there are more people to be diagnosed, and that diagnosis is your fate, which increases the chances you’ll be a lifetime magic bean subscriber.
Which is weird, because as we discovered in The Defense Cascade, simply sending kids to yoga for 12 weeks dropped ADHD symptoms:
But better than that, sending parents to behaviour and mindfulness training dropped children's ADHD symptoms. Ah, we aren’t random DNA blobs accidentally running into each other. We do participate wholeheartedly in each other's nervous systems.
Was AADPA acting alone? They will tell you they were, but here’s some totally unrelated information.
The AADPA annual conference was held at the Sofitel in Melbourne. Nice Choice. Expensive choice too. Rooms go for over $400 a night. Luckily, Takeda paid $20,000.00 for the platinum sponsorship package.1
Who is Takeda? We’ll get to that in a moment.
Before we do. Who are the humans behind AADPA? The president of AADPA chairs the Developmental Mental Health Department of Paediatrics at the University of Melbourne.
Sounds like the right person for the job. Probably has a lot of expertise. Oh look, $12,965.73 in speaking fees for Dave from Melbourne U, paid for by Takeda. 2
Wow, there’s that name again. That’s an annual conference and a speech? Happy days.
So who is Takeda? They sell the most popular ADHD medication in Australia that we mentioned earlier. When did they increase sales by 50%? In 2023. When was the Senate inquiry? In 2023. When was the annual conference sponsorship that never happened again? In 2023. When were speaking arrangements requested but never requested again? In 2023.
Nothing to see here. But, just out of interest, where do psychologists, such as Dave, place themselves on the ideology continuum? Economically, centre-left. They have some moolah in the back pocket for believing in private property.
Socially, very liberal.
Hmm, ok. Flash bang. Breaking news…. someone has been taken to court in June 2026. Who? The World Professional Association for Transgender Health. The holiest of holy, ‘very liberal’ institution.3
What’s in the court documents? Nothing much, just the former director earning a cool milly per year on transitioning kids.
How open were such ‘very liberal’ institutions to alternative voices? Well, let’s hear it from former president Dr Marci:4
“…there are definitely people who are trying to keep out anyone who doesn’t absolutely buy the party line that everything should be affirming, and that there’s no room for dissent.”
Crazy, could that potentially lead to outcomes in which children are tempted into a trend due to trauma and insecure attachment? Again, let’s go to the expert, Marci:
“I think there probably are people who are influenced. There is a little bit of ‘Yeah, that’s so cool. Yeah, I kind of want to do that too.’”
(You can read accounts of 100 detransitioners here confirming the same)5
Oh wow. Maybe we went too far? But let’s not assume, Marci? You there?
“We zig and then we zag, and I think maybe we zigged a little too far to the left in some cases.”
Gotcha. We made gender diversity software installation compulsory in other people’s kids, when we statistically don’t have our own, and anyone who questions us carrying out that update on other people’s kids is a far-right, fascist, phobic, bigot.
Then, a couple of years later, with bodies on the floor everywhere: ‘we may have had too much fun at the party last night, lol.’
While that sinks in, let’s return to ADHD.
Animal studies show ADHD magic beans neuter testosterone in males.
Increase neural spine density.
Associated with fear extinction deficits.
And in humans, hollow out bones.
And shrink our hippocampus based on our accumulated lifetime exposure.
Oh. Ok. I think I understand now.
So, Catholic school is indoctrination, tick.
And gender diversity is compulsory human progress, until the ones carrying out the superior human progress admit (but only them, everyone else is a far-right, fascist, phobic, bigot), perhaps, we went too far. Also, ADHD is an identity (not a trauma response with methylation changes that work in both directions), but it needs magic beans to function, and those beans break down the human vessel, and we just keep quiet about that part.
If you are a psychologist, you have to have the brain power and a beating heart to understand the fishbowl we live in. Every institution is telling you to look right, ‘far-right,’ for the threat, whilst on the very liberal left, human suffering is not only ignored: it's the product of the show. You holiday on human suffering, or you act with moral courage and help take bodies back to safety, with the species library as the north star.
What did Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah tell us to do if anger rises up in this moment? Remind ourselves that it does not belong to us, because if it did, we would be able to say ‘be gone’ and it would. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go, so we try another method: our loving kindness meditations, which is what was the topic of this week's Monday Meditation.
Lastly, country rankings. The yanks retain top spot. The red coats in second. The skips in third. As always, to all new entrants, welcome. I hope the material serves you and your village well 🥇🇺🇸🥈🇬🇧🥉🇦🇺
I’ll leave it there for now.
Here’s to your healing 💙,
Jas
