Afflicted patients have the powerful sense that someone they know, particularly a loved one, has been replaced by an imposter. Vilayanur Ramachandran postulates that the problem arises from a failure of the temporal regions responsible for face recognition to communicate with the limbic system regions responsible for emotional responses.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs161 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Cotard’s syndrome, or the delusional belief that you are dead, that you don’t exist, or that you have lost your organs or blood, results from damage to the channels of interaction between the fusiform face area and the limbic system.” What can Creator tell us about this? 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 Beliefs157 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 Beliefs200 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 Beliefs177 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 Beliefs162 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Even rats are responsive to the pain of others, refusing to eat when their eating inflicts electric shocks on other rats.” He used this to argue that even morality is a product of evolution. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs192 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 Beliefs181 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 Beliefs223 views0 answers0 votesHintjens writes about art: “Art serves no functional purpose except to stir emotions in the viewer.” He further writes, “Psychopaths have many curious traits. One is their lack of interest in creative acts. They do not draw, paint, sculpt, or carve. They do not take photographs, except of themselves and their possessions. They do not cook for pleasure, invent recipes, nor make their own bread as a hobby. They do not create music, though they can be excellent performers of others’ work. This lack of creative drive is a curious thing when you first see it. It matches their generally empty sense of humor. Their hobbies are travel, shopping, eating out, meeting new people. This is consumption, not creation.” Hintjens says, “I’m certain creativity is another secret language of empathy.” And as such, another effective psychopath detector. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs190 views0 answers0 votesHintjens suggests that we have an incomplete view of the psychopath. The general assumption is that they are broken people, but he suggests that they are in fact human predators. “Psychopaths hunt other humans. They attack and capture them. They feed on their time, resources, power, and energy. They dispose of the remains. And they move on. Every relationship between a social human and a psychopath follows the same pattern. There seem to be no exceptions, no nice psychopaths. To be a psychopath is to be a predator.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs160 views0 answers0 votesHintjens wrote that arranged marriages evolved from the need to safeguard against predators entering the family. He writes, “The rate of arranged marriages will correlate with social status of the pair. The higher their status, the less free choice in marriage. This seems true in all societies. Between societies, the weaker the state, the higher will be the rate of arranged marriages. This is because weak states cannot protect a family’s wealth from predators.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs175 views0 answers0 votesAssuming that Creator is not going to endorse the suppression of emotion as love is emotion, and love is life force energy which all beings need, what about the SELF CONTROL of emotion?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers288 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Rational Thought is the one aspect of consciousness widely held to separate predominantly intelligent species from predominantly instinctual ones. Is it safe to say that rational thought is actually a creative thought process engaged in novel problem solving (novel for the being doing the problem solving) versus conditioned response (via instinct or behavioral modification perhaps)? The former is viewed as a predominately conscious, self-aware activity, while the latter is viewed as a predominantly unconscious activity lacking or at least not requiring self-awareness. How would Creator characterize this distinction in consciousness? What are we missing?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs275 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Observing humanity, a large spectrum is on display. From people who seem to operate mostly from conditioned responses, to those who truly seem to actively analyze everything around them consciously, enabling them to respond in novel unconventional ways that can be unpredictable and surprisingly effective (at least from the perspective of others). Emerson said, “foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Those who operate largely out of conditioning will struggle to find novel solutions to unanticipated and vexing problems, and rather, will keep applying the same conditioned response over and over again in spite of its continued failure or poor performance. With this postulate, how does Creator explain the difference in these two approaches to problem solving?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs266 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Rational thought appears to have a lot of enemies or potential obstacles or impairments to overcome. Karmic energy is clearly one of them. (As recognized in Creator’s recent revelation that “karma” was the cause of my complacency and feelings of futility when failing to act on my raccoon problem in a timely and rational fashion.) Fear of failure, and harsh judgment, and penalties is clearly another obstacle (which can all be heightened by karma created from past failures – including past life failures). Strong negative belief is yet another potential barrier (which also can be reinforced by karma). Then there are the physical, energetic barriers: fatigue, poor cognitive memory, lack of spatial discernment, dyslexia, etc. Rational thought has a LOT to overcome. Can Creator comment on why the deck is so stacked?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs267 views0 answers0 votes
