Myelination and Jhana
The establishment, maintenance, and stabilization Jhanic state is the electrical breakthrough to a novel area of the brain and precipitate flow of fluid momentum that results. Maintenance of the attention and breath along the pathway pulls nutrients in the blood with the breath along the pathway. With stabilized soft, repetitive fluid motion of the mind along the novel pathway, the nutrients (if bioavailable) are likely to be provided in sufficient quantities for oligodendrocytes myelination activity along the pathway, making the pathway more accessible upon returning to the Jhana with intention. Provided the internal mental environment is soft enough, and blood is readily available, the process of myelination will steadily occur as the nutrient supply is sustained. The content of information that arises while the Jhana is maintained determines the content of the insight available, the functional areas involved inform the fundamental origin of the nature of the content. Content will have degrees of accessibility according to the spatial orientation of the content along the sensory awareness of the area in which the pathway covers. Lower layers tend to be more accessible because a lower energy state is required for access.
Mudras can assist in easily maintaining steady, smooth innervation along a novel pathway, if the novel pathway is accessible with a mudra. Functional connectivity is established during a flow state, a fluid symmetrical pattern formed by moving the mind along a pathway with repetition. In much the same way a jhana forms, the functional connectivity between areas is formed via intuitive sensory understanding of the fluid dynamic movement of brain waves between areas. A visual memory formation at the center of the visual cortex, between hemispheres of the cerebellum allows an access point of reference for recall of the Jhanic state for future functional connectivity. Fluid motion occurs easiest in bilateral symmetry with subtle motor control over the cerebellum and executive motor cortex, with passive maintenance of parieto-sensory spatial awareness of the head. Sacred geometrical patterns are easiest to form between functional areas of the brain. The easier the flow state is achieved, the more accessible. The accessibility also depends on many underlying factors related to physiology: metabolism, blood oxygenation, blood pressure, muscular tension, posture, mental state.
The more solid a jhanic state becomes via repeated maintenance and myelination, the less accessible perpendicular or orthogonal neuronal pathways might become. Therefore, a valuable inquiry into the content that arises, the nature of the originating functional area, and logical assessment of what wisdom the jhanic state might lead to and it's relevance to path is paramount.
