That night I experienced the hellish pain kidney stones are known for, for about 2 hrs. I was praying constantly for it to dissolve, and had already requested LHPs from our group to help ease the pain and heal it all ASAP. In the morning I painlessly passed a very small fragment (1mm?) of a stone. The next day I had two or three small incidents of discomfort, but, so far, I’ve felt fine since then. I now add my kidney stone issue to my LHPs and daily prayers. The urologist I spoke to today suspects I may not have passed the stone however, since what came out was so small; that it may have broken into other smaller fragments that are yet to come out. He scheduled me for an X-ray in three weeks to double check, if I don’t pass anything else. Did my prayers and everyone’s LHPs indeed dissolve most of the stone? What were the karmic causes for the kidney stone?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma162 views0 answers0 votesThe practitioner continues: “Will continued prayers and LHPs (as well as more hydration!) prevent any future kidney stones, or is a Deep Subconscious Channeling with Trauma Resolution session for kidney stones needed in addition?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma156 views0 answers0 votesThe assertions Creator is being asked to address in this episode come from the volume, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case Against Life After Death. The author, Matt McCormick, wrote, “The physical structures of the brain are causally responsible for consciousness and its capacities. A neuroscientist examining scans of a stroke victim’s brain can now predict, sometimes with remarkable accuracy (down to the millimeter), exactly what sorts of cognitive, conceptual, emotional, or psychological problems that the patient will experience as a result of his or her brain damage. The connection is too great, too pervasive, too immediate, and too strong to be ignored. The physical foundations of mental functions shows that the alleged separation of mind from brain posited by the dualistic survival hypothesis … will not occur.” What can Creator tell us about this skeptic’s conclusion?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs196 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote this in his contribution to the collection titled Dead as a Doornail: “While most of us would acknowledge some connection between mental function and the brain, we may have failed to see just how deep the connection runs. Even the most abstract mental faculties—and the most specific features and contents of our private mental states—can be mapped directly onto brain functions. … People who suffer from Anton-Babinski syndrome are cortically blind, but they don’t believe they’re blind or consciously blind. They will adamantly insist they can see even in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, dismissing their inability to perform visual tasks by confabulating explanations for their poor performance. … The syndrome results from a specific sort of damage to the occipital lobe of the brain.” Is this wholly a result of brain damage, as the skeptics assert, or is this a clue about the underlying origins and actions of consciousness? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs199 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Capgras syndrome results from lesions in the occipital, temporal, and frontal lobes of the brain. 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 Beliefs165 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 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 Beliefs205 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 Beliefs183 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 Beliefs167 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 Beliefs199 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 Beliefs186 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 Beliefs224 views0 answers0 votesA prolonged and detailed study of famous mediums has uncovered an unusual collection of observations and anecdotes that hint at what life is like in the light, as well as the scope of impact and influence the departed have on the living. One of the recurring themes hinted at by more than one medium is the notion that the departed sometimes intervene to protect the living. A woman receiving a reading by a famous medium (Caputo, Season 6, Episode 2) was told her recently deceased husband protected her in a catastrophic automobile accident. The woman had fallen asleep and had a head-on collision with a semi-truck. The car was utterly destroyed, but she walked away without a scratch. Did her “deceased husband” actually protect her, or was this story an exaggerated assertion, to mask the more complicated divine intervention of her higher self, and angels? What role did the deceased husband ACTUALLY play, if any?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs217 views0 answers0 votesHow were the rules of engagement satisfied in the intervention described above? When a departed loved one is credited with a miraculous intervention, it begs the question, “Why doesn’t this happen to save everyone from accidents?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs182 views0 answers0 votesDuring a reading with a famous medium (Caputo, Season 13, Episode 3), the client was told about their recently passed son, who was heavy into sports, “He’s playing soccer, he’s playing football, he’s playing lacrosse. ‘I’m playing every sport I can – because I can.’ Everything and anything that he wanted to do in the physical world, he’s doing on the other side.” It seems hard to believe that soccer in heaven can impart the same overall experience that it does in the physical, because of the limitations of the physical, which we are reportedly free of in the light. Playing soccer in the physical world carries the risk of injury, along with facing aggressive, sometimes cheating opponents, etc. And if light beings can see the future, what’s the point of holding a contest? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs202 views0 answers0 votes
