Re:Swami Rama: Voluntary control over involuntary states on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @01:22PM (#30431428)
An excerpt from Beyond Biofeedback by Elmer & Alyce Green, 1977 Knoll Publishing Co., Chapter II: Self-regulation: East and West, pp. 197 - 218.: https://www.swamij.com/pdf/swami-rama-beyond-biofeedback.pdf

"... The record shows that the temperature began going up at both locations on the palm of his hand, and then the thermistor went down to where it had been but the W thermistor kept increasing in temperature until it reached 95F. Eventually the two thermistors were 11F apart, an increase of 9F over the original temperature difference. The Swami told us that this differential control of temperature in one hand was one of the most difficult things that he had learned to do, more difficult than stopping his heart. That seemed unlikely to me at first, but on thinking about it I realized that the neural controls over the radial and ulnar arteries in the wrist and over the arterial shunts in the hand probably were located within a few millimeters of each other in a section of the central nervous system. The Swamiís demonstration showed exquisite differential control over this normally uncontrolled piece of the neural apparatus..."

Yes, we do see these "prodigies" pop up from time to time in India. Reminds me of Ankit Fadia[0] from the 2000s and more recently of "Drone" Prathap[1]. These charlatans get their airtime mostly because of severe lack of due diligence by media.

This reads like a subliminal message from John Carpenter’s “They Live”. I hope it’s sarcasm :)

There's a phrase for that - "Big in Japan"[0]. Many 80s one-hit-wonders of the west were big in Japan (or any other eastern countries).

Did you intend to use https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com instead of https://bitcoinwalletpaper.com?

The former site “looks” legit (one can never be sure though) while the latter looks like phishing scam.

Do you have any source that confirms lost Cs-137 has caused this?
