Did you know that intelligence is determined by the number of neural synapses you have in your brain?

The more ways you look at the SAME problem the more intelligent you become!

This is another reason why "having your mind made up in cement" on issues make you.....

well makes you not as intelligent as someone who looks at ALL sides of an issue!

Moral of Story - Instead of bashing a Mormon for his beliefs without investigation into the matter........ understand WHY he thinks the way he does!

Not only will you actually learn the WHY, you will be feeding the brain with new ways of percieving the same problems and thus greater flexibility in life decisions!


The more neural connections we have in our brains the more intelligence we have to draw from and the more intelligent we are. The simple act of sharing information between two or more neurons creates intelligence. The same is true with people in organizations, as shown in Infinite Wealth.

The brain utilizes what is called parallel processing, which is what gives it such power. This means that the brain can spread a signal to hundreds of thousands of other neurons in less than 20 milliseconds, even though it takes a million times longer to send a signal than a computer switch. Most computers, like the majority of activity within controlled economies, operates based upon one step-at-a-time serial processing. It is what makes bureaucracies and computers extremely slow.

Parallel processing is simply the notion that several brains, neurons, computers or computer processing chips can be working on a problem at the same time from different perspectives. By taking a number of people with aligned motives and allowing them to openly communicate, parallel processing and synergy naturally occurs.

On one hand, I can see what you saying. However, on the other hand...

I would need to consider the other side of this issue before I make up my mind.

Is soma a reference to psychedelics, as in brave new world?

Soma from what I remember is a reference to psychedelics.

So if soma-sight is saying that you think psychedelics gave you revelation:

Psyche - mind/soul
Delic - Manifesting

Mind/Soul manifesting, demonic possession/influence

Entheogen - becoming theos (God) within

Genesis 3:5 "Your eyes shall be open, ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" - Satan's seduction.

Work of the flesh: witchcraft (pharmakeia). Revelation says in the last days people would be deceived by sorceries (pharmakiea).

Pharmakeia can refer to drug use and sorcery. Drugs were a part of pagan rituals, to bring in Satan's lie of christ/higher/god-consciousness. A pharmakeus is a magic potion maker.

And in the extrabiblical book of Enoch, the fallen angels taught men the "cutting of roots". In the Greek Septuagint (Greek OT), it is translated as "pharmakeia"

The OP aside, Yosef does make a good point about witchcraft/sorceries/medicine being defined in the original language as pharmakeia. Little wonder that one of the worlds biggest industries is pharmaceuticals, and their little medical logo that's used has two serpents on it. Coincidence? I think not.

It's evil. The entire medical industry is pagan and evil. Oh but they save lives and help people... Yes they do, and they have to be able to do this or else people wouldn't buy into it. But it's not of God. Jehovah-Rapha, which means The Lord which Heals You.

The two snakes wrapped around a pole/staff is based upon some mythological Greek God. Caduceus or something like that. So there you have it.

I wonder what the medical industry will be like on earth during the millennial reign? LOL.

10 year-old threads


I had no idea. I did not take the time to take notice of the tiny print, that if it where any lighter it would be the colour of the page, that shows the date.

But I guess now I know not to assume that threads on the front page are fresh just because they have little to no replies.

I suppose irrelevant, but I guess also relevant, but they'd be like this man:

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. - ACTS 19

That is false and such a generalization. Much good has come from the medical industry and is another means by which God brings healing.
 
the word pharmacy comes from pharmakeia.

However I was talking more about psychedelics and drugs used in pagan ritual, and mind altering substances. Though, I believe there are alternate cures for pharmaceuticals I believe alter the consciousness by dumbing it down.

What's false?
and that God can take any situation and turn it around for good speaks of the wisdom and power of our great God. So a certain amount of good comes from the medical industry and I said that in my post. It in no way means that I am wrong and the pharmaceuticals are good or from God though! Wow.

It's natural. Let's have a party. I'll bring the oxies. You bring the coke.

Missed the point.oxytocin is produced when you are in severe pain.it is what temporarily stops you feeling that pain for a 30 minute period. Next.those witches used herbal healing remedies.ie time rich etc.does our bodies produce herbs used by them to heal and fight off disease? No.therefore the use of any natural redemption by that argument is a sin.

Oxycotin comes from the same plant heroin does.

I think there's a difference between some herbal remedies cure and ailment and pharmaceuticals that alter the mind and are just a means of making money because the won't if the herbal remedies were used. Witches used hallucinogenic and mind altering substances.
