Yet, it was nonchalantly included in an article whose agenda was to (quote) “Argue that the mind is located in the brain in such a way that there is no mental life after brain death … Our conclusion is overwhelmingly supported by neuroscientific evidence.” Yet they inexplicably include a neuroscientific case study that dramatically undercuts that conclusion. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness208 views0 answers0 votesIn an earlier show, Creator agreed with the statement, “You will learn more about reality by studying the extraordinary, than the ordinary.” Yet the ordinary is the focus of the skeptics in their attempts to prove that the paranormal is make-believe. In fact, skeptics have elevated this proclivity to have the force of law. In the volume, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case against Life after Death, behavioral geneticist Jene Mercer writes, “The law of parsimony, a guiding rule for scientists for hundreds of years, states that given two equally well-supported explanations for a phenomena, we are best advised to choose the simpler one rather than multiplying entities unnecessarily.” Skeptics routinely “choose the simpler” by ignoring and throwing out exceptions and outliers in their data, all the while congratulating themselves for being scientific.

Are the researchers over-attributing causality to the brain damage alone? Would the same symptoms and delusions inevitably result in any person that suffered similar brain damage?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs162 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Research shows remarkable relationships between brain tumors and brain chemistry, on the one hand, and bizarre thoughts or behaviors, on the other. In one patient the onset of hypersexuality, obsession with pornography, and pedophilia paralleled the growth of a tumor in his right orbitofrontal lobe. When the tumor was removed, his urges lapsed. When the tumor grew back, his pedophilia returned.” What can Creator tell us about this tumor-to-behavior relationship?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs206 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Patients with no history of gambling find themselves overwhelmed with the urge to gamble when their dosages (of Parkinson’s drug pramipexole) cross a particular threshold, sometimes leading them to gamble away their life savings. But when the dosage is reduced, the urge vanishes.” Can Creator tell us what is REALLY going on here?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs184 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Even something as common as the effects of a cup of espresso show that those elements of consciousness alleged to survive biological death depend directly upon the brain.” This seems like missing the forest for the trees. Stimulus effects are conditions that arouse the “decision-maker” within, but they do not decide for her or him! Otherwise, it would be impossible to resist ANYTHING. And life calls for a great deal of discerning resistance! Is it safe to say that DECISION is a spiritual function, not a biological function?

What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs201 views0 answers0 votesAtheist evolutionists have a tendency to showcase theory as fact. Matt McCormick wrote, “(Experts)… have now converged on the view that evolution favored hyperactive agency detection devices (HADD). The basic idea is there is survival benefit to detecting or attributing agency or intentionality to many things in our environment. ‘It is better to mistake a boulder for a bear, than a bear for a boulder.’ Mistaking too many things as conscious agents is a helpful error since detecting too few of them can be deadly.” McCormick speculates that this is why we are so quick to believe in brainless consciousness. We can’t help it. McCormick writes, “The prevailing view is that seeing manifestations of God’s conscious will, desires, and goals in the world is a byproduct of HADD.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs187 views0 answers0 votesThe secular headwinds are strong, and appear to be growing stronger. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can turn this trend around, in time to save humanity from the encroaching darkness?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs225 views0 answers0 votesOne of the most physically fit athletes on the planet swears by doing stretches and not just exercises to promote robust physical well-being, strength, and stamina.

Is there a collective that gathers at or in our sun for a purpose? If so, for what purpose?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness182 views0 answers0 votesThe Greek philosopher Plato, who narrated to us the Atlantean history and its fall, also described the existence of an astronomical cycle of approximately 26,000 years, which he called “the Great Year,” in reference to the complete cycle of precession of the equinoxes. You marked for us the fall of Atlantis approximately 26,000 years ago. Does karma distribute its energies to the rhythm of astronomical cycles and are we at the dawn of the great anniversary of the fall of the Atlantis, and maybe the project GetWisdom existed long ago, with the same actors, and the same mission, trying to warn and save Humanity, one “Great Year” before, at the dawning of the fall?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Physical Universe600 views0 answers0 votesA recent Barbara Marciniak channeling of the Pleiadians said: “Many experiments have been done for a long time and consciousness can be captured…it can be captured and utilized to fuel virtual realities and consciousness can get stuck there for a long, long time.” Can you help us understand the truth of this?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Imposters350 views0 answers0 votesConcetta was asked by someone, “How can I know if my (psychic) abilities are ordinary or extraordinary?” She answered, “I think it would be self-evident, a matter of clarity of detail instead of just impressions of things. If you do hear voices, or rather fully articulated thoughts that don’t seem to be your own, that would be a big clue. Or if you see visions or ghosts. Everyone can, but for most, it’s not a common occurrence.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls179 views0 answers0 votes
