Lon: In 1982 I was in the doctoral program of neurobiology at the U. of

Michigan. I defended a thesis proposal in front of the research faculty

suggesting

the possibility of using thermal imaging in conjunction with 5E and meridian

theory to map functional relationships in the brain. The topic was on the

Neural Innervation of the Shu Points which I presented also at the 2nd national

conference on CM sponsered by TAI on Washington DC in '83. I was asked to leave

the neuroscience program and did too pursue CM. At the time I mentioned the

idea to Porkert who agreed then on this as one important direction for the

synthesis of the sciences. So, if what you propse is viable in 20 years, it will

be

roughly 40 years from its inception (and I'm sure others had the idea though

I could find no English literature on it at the time). This is actually a

fantastic rate of change if one considers say the time between Leonardo da Vinci

contemplating human flight and the Wright brothers implementing it. Time is

speeding up.

Still, from my perspective ego is the source of all internal syndrome

patterns. When a person is whole, meaning One without a second, it will be known

without a machine. And, the karmic momentum embodied after a lifetime of

living egoically will still condition physiological process and hence such

technology may yield important insights.
