I posted a version of this message elsewhere and, generally, cross-
posting is not a good thing. But I think it might be important for
this to be posted here, esp at this time.

********************************************************

I appreciate all of the support that has surrouned Sue and I, both
throughout our work in this field but also most recently. It truly
is marvelous and IMO is precisely how this field should work
together, cooperatively in a collegial and supportive manner even
when there are disagreements.

But I also think it's important to be as clear as possible about
those disagreements, while maintaining a sense of respect for the
efforts of everyone who contributes. After all, the fundamental
motivation and orientation for all of us is the transformation of
human suffering -- however we conceive that to be done most
effectively and efficiently, and no matter what we believe such
transformation means. We all want to make a positive difference in
the lives of those around us. But we do have differing ideas about
what that means and how to best or most easily or most thoroughly
approach and accomplish that process

So let's not lose sight of something fundamentally important here.
What we do is absolutely simple -- no QEEG, no diagnosis, no meta-
cognitive strategies, no need to "figure out" what's wrong or what
(specifically) needs to be done, no decision about where to place
sensors or which bands to "reward" or "inhibit", no over-arching
system of "part to re-integrate" or anything like that. Just the
simple idea of bringing the CNS back to the present -- and doing
THAT by just momentarily interrupting an ongoing audio stream, while
modulating a pseudo-random visual (and you don't even need the
visual).

The CNS knows what to do -- all we need to do is to call it back to
the present when it wobbles. Nothing more, nothing less.

And that's the utter, stark simplicity of what NeuroCARE is all
about.

As Patanjali said in the first sentence of his Yoga Sutra:

Wholeness comes from releasing the ripples of consciousness.

Nothing has changed in the 2500 years since that was written, except
the technology. And that makes it even easier, even simpler and even
more accessible to everyone -- no experts required,. This is the
second Reformation -- and it's all about information.
