GO TO THE BIBLE

Stupidity Brings Misery

The argument I'm about to pursue may caused a bit of a stir, because of the fervid presumptions often italicized by those who'll always opposed  such arguments. But let me reassure those of such character. I welcome this action.

Simply because I do not have all the answers, nor a few, and probably whatever I have left may perhaps be unsatisfactory or self-contradictory. But I do know that it's a view, and I'm asking you humbly to at least read, even though you're not obligated to. Who knows where this could end ? It perhaps may open up discussions that could even  enlighten and expand the minds on either sides of the fence, or merely looked upon as meaningless dark letters deliberately placed against a bone white background .

So without further ado,  let me begin by itemizing or numbering a few things. I will first address the issue of our politics here in Jamaican and its effect on the people. Secondly, I will share my views on religion, specifically those of the monotheistic faith. Reason being, is that it's the most dominant religion on the land, and its impact is tremendous. Third but not least, I will attempt the herculean tasks of forging these ideologies together  and to demonstrate the impact it have on us collectively.

Our politics without a shadow of a doubt have created a demarcated line that have deliberately transformed our land into who become the haves or the have nots. Also, it has rendered some of us as supra-dependents or ultra dependents, with the syndrome of the same name.  Therefore, some of the  things that would prompt  some of us to vote are things that have nothing to do with the real issues that affects us collectively, as well as our general understanding of economics.

Furthermore, since 1972 until now, this Island in the Caribbean have lagged behind its neighbors, when prior to that  it was amongst the Jewel of the Caribbean. There are myriad of reasons attributes to this state, but in the end it will all to boil down to how this Island was led. And from all indication it was either mismanaged or unmanageable. The second erroneous state, will either be a result of the first, or the first a result of it. Therefore, It will require sound or effective management to mitigate most of our dysfunctional attitudes. 

The period of 1972-1980 could be regarded as one of the darkest period in the modern history of this country, due to both internal and external deleterious factors. Some where indeed avoidable while others weren't. Then the period of 1989-2007 further shoved the nation into the abyss. I'm not here to further a political agenda by picking on this present administration. In fact I'm lauding this administration for having the balls of making unpopular decisions that are geared to lift this nation from this super black hole.  However, one should be cognizant of the dilemmas of both periods, and question whether or not we are experiencing any aftershocks.

On The Idea Of God

The concept of the monotheistic god are pretty amazing , but I've found them to be untoward as for I'm concerned. These attributes appeared to be in each others way , and pushes the idea of god further into obscurity. For example, God is regarded as all-loving, all-presence as well as all-powerful with the presence of Evil. Now perhaps there are strong logical arguments to defend the idea of god in spite of the presence of Evil, but the real issue is that ALL- GOOD, POWERFUL and PRESENCE attributes against even a tiny grain of evil is a  crazy form of thinking in my view. Yet the world have a large reservoir of EVIL, making it even more absurd. Do I hear the argument of Free Will ? Well, those who pushes this argument haven't grasps this very tough philosophical problem as yet, or that they're just being too disingenuous.

The Forged and its Effects

Politics and religion are two of the most powerful institutions, that have been wheeling their powers over humanity from as far  back as the emergence of modern humans. Our lives are culturally wrapped up in our psyche whether we agree with them or not. The efficacy of their good and bad are renowned throughout the world, and clearly engraved within mankind psyche fostered by our creative dexterity. This also clearly generate or demonstrate that we're nothing but humans, that are still extremely curious, thus we create religion, that has later carried us to philosophy, and then to the natural sciences, and then from that who knows ?

I think views should be express freely even if it do at times influences people's behavior. However, I think that there are views that upon discovery there real intent, was to let you be riding on a delusional coaster ride, a sort of temporary euphoria if you will , that left your head spinning uncontrollably, that gives one the impression that you're not only confused but suffering from some sort of a traumatic brain injury that seems unrecoverable. As a result of this, I contribute that religion and politics are the main culprits for this seeming conundrum. Luckily, there are ways in which stability can become a reality in all of this mess. We've been taught not to think for ourselves. Instead, we've been programmed by the institutionalized system to reproduced exactly what they've taught us, thus producing the same situation over and over again. Just stop for a moment and look around you, and then observed where you are in life right now, and how do you feel about it. Of course, you've those who have not been affected by the system for whatever reasons that exists, but we do have quite a good amount of us who are mentally entrapped by this contemporary method of slavery, which the legendary Bob Marley dubbed as mental slavery. We've either don't know who we are or have forgotten who we are....Well then, permit me the privilege of doing the honors of letting you know who you are, by stating first and foremost of who you're not. You're not some tool to be used and abused via the method of fear inducement such as hell bounded if you so choose to do what you feel to do , with the balance of not infringing upon anyone rights whatsoever. You don't have to do anything at all that you don't want to do, and that doesn't mean you're being mean and crude. You should not have to be stuck in some sort of a twilight zone wishing and hoping that a zombie from underneath the earth or sky or a super benevolent policy maker with no strings attach, will come and rescue you from an idea that was forced upon you, that is of no fault of yours, plus it is infantile, incompatible and highly suspective within this modern settings when placed under the microscope of an erudite & discerning mind. 

Now, let me try an explain in some general terms of who we really are, including you that is now reading this material. You are a product or result of the universe, therefore that places you on equal terms with everything to be here , because it's no fault of yours neither the other results to be here in the first place, therefore, it's an illusion to think that other members of your species are greater or above you, and thus to do whatever you don't want them to do unto you. However, due to that the fact that you're a social creature , and your highest ideals is , survival, it's therefore imperative of you , if you so wish to maintain your own chance of survival pace intact as efficiently as possible(even though it's temporary), then you must play a part in that collective settings that gears towards that objective, this means that you're to co-operate or show some empathy, or some apathy at times within the group not just to procreate for the continuation of your species, but for the sake of your selfish interests, and that is to survive or keep living. Remember also, that your not just merely a creature of a particular species, but you're also a sentient being, that possesses the ability to feel, perceive, or to experience subjectivity.  You're also a part of a set of creatures belonging to a particular species that isn't only intelligent , but have dominion over every other creatures because of our unique brain that is unequal to any other set of creatures known.

With the human species occupying this blue-like sphere as if it's they who are the landlords, it's quite evident that the human brain, is capable of doing some unbelievable stuff , should not appear to people like us (blacks) as if it is those with pigmentation(other ethnic groups) different from us (black) are capable of using , and using it well, thus giving the impression of superiority. With this in mind, my people, it's imperative that we should shake off the mental chains and shackles from off our brains as quickly as possible, and collectively seek audience with each other, in a mentally engaging manner in order to raise not only our self-worth or consciousness, but also our intellectual level. This can only be achieved via engulfing ourselves with knowledge that will raised our bars on an equal plateau to the rest of our species. 

This may sound as if I'm presupposing that we are all dunces, and that will be inaccurate, if that's the assumption and position you hold. On the contrary, we do have people within the system that are already on par with those of different ethnicity. However, there is a sort of inferior complex syndrome amongst our people , even to some who are on par intellectually with those of different ethnicity(and I've alluded to that earlier) , but academic knowledge, meaning being taught at an educational institution is only half of the cake. The other half lies with how we treat ourselves , that is how we treat each other. We have to learn this all over again, most surprisingly. Look at the streets , look at the mathematics or specifically look at the numbers. Most of the people, within the 90% range, are blacks...descendants of black Africans. From this it's quite clear who will be seen as poor, sick, dying , dead, oppressed, mentally dysfunctional and a lot more of the malign stuff affecting a dysfunctional society.

Yet, we turn to the two grand designers of our ills, seeking refuge and compensation that is futile. The power that we possessed will obviously never be echoed repeatedly for some apparent reason. So whenever some one from amongst you, who eyes have seen the scales been stripped or removed from the eyes , and  hence having a sort of a clairvoyance approach or a clear visual of the entire system.  Having seen the bigger picture, mixed with same level of intellect like those of other ethnicity, it's imperative of me to see my race survive, not from the case of procreation only, but also in tune with the new paradigm shift in the human race on a whole. It's very apparent from those in the academia world that the new revolution or evolution for humanity has indeed long shifted passed the industrial age , and is now in the age of information technology or also the digital information era(computer age), that's continually expanding , and it's now on a whole new level that we need to tap into for our own existence.To remained stuck in some old ideology of waiting to see the sky open and a being come descending to rescue us is not only very absurd and  pathetic, but extremely out of whack with this new era. The system which the politics plays an integral part are simple there to keep us distracted for the ultimate objective, and that is to maintain its own survive. Yes, it needs us to let us remained intellectual hitched with delusional stuff. So what do we need to be freed ? First, we (black people) need to trust each other, secondly to be found worthy of that trust, then lets greet and meet each other with love and compassion so that we can learn and expand our horizon to meet this new dawn in human civilization...we have missed many, except for the first coupled of thousand years. Out of Africa , humanity emerged, this is a known fact from both historians and anthropologists....we're amongst the first to have discovered religion politics, and the arts...yes others have advanced them , because that's the irreversible and unstoppable function of life, meaning to grow, expand or evolve....yet others have passed us...with the tactics that we've invented...divide and rule.....Well in this new era that will not be the central focal point, yet it will always be an integral part of all creatures...and if I should commit the cardinal violation of personifying life like most people, I would say that life demands this, for life will not have it no other way...Therefore, I will agree with most philosophers , that  to hold back ourselves is an impossible tasks, but we've also fundamentally learned one valuable piece of information from life through evolution, and that is if anything that can't adapt to this process will become extinct . So it begs the question , how adaptable we are at this point ?...well, just look around you, and tell me what do you see ?...look at where they are , and then look at where we are, and that include yourself....and yes my people, and tell yourself what do you see ?....Peace, honor, respect and love.

Even if we did not exist, the Universe would still be here....has a matter of fact, It doesn't care or even know if we're around, because it's not like that, meaning that it is not anthropomorphic...even though it contains the stuff, that can make things like us...yet we think that it was created for us, simply because our ancestors created the concept of Anthropomorphism, while they had wandered around the flipping planet, and started to anthropomorphized every little thing in sight that seemed peculiar.

It often amazes me of the contentiousness that surrounds the intellectual discourses we have on the matters of religion, because of the emotional connectivity to religious concepts. It's always in some ways have its umbilical cord knotted to the emotive theory of ethics, and hence, if a person is anti-religious or does not seem to share or support emotional obscured concepts, then that person is expected to be ridiculed and despised based on their views....as if to say "how dare you or how could you ?" or in the Jamaican parlance " Yo fyah ! How u tinking suh twist up eh ?, suh how u fi do dat ?". Religion is the epitome of that notion for well over several millenniums. They're many within our ethnic cluster who have no idea or knowledge of the religious concepts that had forced upon their ancestors, and then promulgated throughout the ages, and now rests into the laps of those who are defending an idea they have little or no knowledge of, including the ones they had left in the Mother Land . It has been repacked repeatedly in our contemporary conceptual framework, with the ribbon of our ancestors *la*hd, sweat and tears. For one,  it's not the denomination of which you belong or spritual charismatic movement  is important within this discourse, but religion in its entirety. In other words, if you're indoctrinated into Christianity, and you're an Adventist, it's not the history of The Seventh Day Adventist you're supposed to be focusing on only , but Christianity in its entirety. On the matter of indoctrination, they're many of us, especially in Jamaica, who have been  brain washed and ushered into it , before the age of reason. The history of Christianity have pointed to groups of animal herders and wanderers who didn't have the opportunity to our modern knowledge of science and technology, and hence was oblivious to the environment and into what they've considered to be some sort of  phenomena that it have had to encounter. Therefore, base on their observations and perceptions they'd  formulated opinions or speculations which they had  hugged as truth,  that have been dispelled by the science community in the modern era. Think about it, the phenomena these folks had to contend with , were strange to their minds and the only way they could've made any sense of it was to ascribed human characteristics to them. Of course during subsequent ages the power of reasoning had emerged , thus given religion a more sophisticated type of thinking in the form of philosophy, with it's rigorousness and it's deliberate attempt to make sense of the self and its surroundings. From this several mode of thoughts had emerged , but two in particularly that stood out predominantly as it relates to religion and the concepts of whether God or gods exists or not., and they're theism and atheism. Many of us have a fair understanding of theism , but a rather obscure and twisted type of understanding about atheism or agnosticism. This is what most of us don't know , and that is, we attached a misconstrued opinion about morality. Many of us think that religion is a precursor of morality rather than the other way around, that was discovered by anthropologists, especially in the fields of cultural, biological and psychological anthropology or evolutionary psychology. In other words morality or some formed of order or the attempt to controlled the behaviors of those whose behaviors were considered to be a threat to the survival of the group, had  formulated long before religion was on the agenda. Of course, one could argue that there were some primitive concept of religiosity like animism and shamanism, but those were not considered to be organized in the sense of which we now hold, hence they're not necessary at this junction, and will duly discuss in a short while. As certain civilizations got more advanced and their organization skills got more sophisticated, but still lack the scientific knowledge of today,  they then eventually infused it (something like animism) with their organizational skills that formulated what come to be known as an Organized religion. The notion of god however is not much different from what we have today, perhaps only in degree, but that's it. The notion was heavily influenced by the observation of the environment and how it had affected the psyche of the ancient ones, but a lot more is needed to be said, however, that would be too lengthy for a forum of this nature. However, the brevity of it can be expressed by stating that inanimate objects like the sun was looked upon as not only a sustenance for life but personified into a transcended being, derived from conceptualized the sky, the earth along with the perceivable phenomena like thunder, lightening and water(Rivers and seas )...some phenomena were considered to be malignant, while others were benign, and of course in order to relate to them or understand them, then they were anthropomorphized or personified, meaning human characteristic were bestowed upon them, thus the invention of the gods. Whatever the ancients were going through or doing, they ascribed and proscribed that to those anthropomorphized concepts , and as times progressed it evolved , especially in Christianity or The Judeo-Christian or Monotheistic thoughts...Remember, that regions that had brought forth  monotheism or the one god concepts was very polytheistic in the beginning of  their philosophy or world views, but if you should research and study the mother of monotheism which is Judaism you could perhaps get a clearer understanding of how they've got to the single god concept. Now to address the person who had reply to my recent post , I thank you my friend, and I think I understood your thoughts....by the way you had responded to my post. It was not meant to attack and destroy anybody's  religious beliefs, but to simply bring a different perspective to the mix, and hence the forum. For religious person to get offensive and defensive of their religion is not a shame nor should it shake your faith and Apologetic dexterity in any form or shape, because that was not what I'd intended it to be, however I'd expected something of this nature,  because religion is heavily guarded by people's emotions, so I was prepared for that and therefore decided to add a twist to this forum nonetheless...If one should failed to grasped my concepts it will be taken on the platter of lack of understanding or I''m not clear enough, rather than by the disbelief of my post, hence I should take the blame without patronizing anyone with my egotism. By the way, There exist a plethora of knowledge out there, some bad , some good, some excellent and some are left a lot to be desire...I think that to solely depend  on one set of knowledge is very bad or dangerous in world were information are more rapid than any other period in our history. Knowledge is Power...Knowledge is wide and comprehensive....look around you, the Times are moved by knowledge...all Times, and knowledge is always changing like everything else...and what is now considered as truth, of course via knowledge, might not be truth by tomorrow's knowledge, therefore to hold on to what you perceived as truth by knowledge that had already being discorded into the pantheon of misconstrued views of life, self and the universe is not only backwards, but dangerous in an ever changing world. Humanity have reach thus far because of the pursuit of Knowledge, not on the notion of belief only. Belief is a part of knowledge, therefore because it's a part of knowledge , it's insufficient to rest all of your marbles into that basket, you need the entire thing...and the difficult part of all....is that it's every where....Peace MZJ!!!

This is indeed a very tough question to tackle , especially in the realms of philosophy and science. However, most theologians will shout out without any restrained on their part , that it's an easy thing to do , and it's happening as we speak. Well, let's try and wrap our mind around this notion for a little bit. Now if we're talking about something we have to know what we are talking about. Therefore what is a god ? Well , generally speaking a god is not a human nor an animal, but that still not clear enough. God is a being that is supreme and principal of object faith. Now we seem to be getting somewhere with this concept, but it's still obscure and is in need of some more clarification. God is the creator of the universe, but not the sustainer, wait a few seconds is that the god we want to discussed , I don't think so....so let's continue...God is the universe itself and not its creator..is this the god most western minds are familiar with...of course not.....God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, he's a male figure that is all-powerful (omnipotent), all-present (omnipresent), all-knowledgeable ( omniscient), all-good (omnibenevolent) , spaceless, timeless, and immaterial...whew!!! that is tiresome , but it seems to fit the definitions of what many Westerners pretty much considered to be God. It is also said that this Being is inexplicable, infallible and perfect in every way..Now ! I don't know about you guys, but I see these attributes given me some major problems whenever I attempt to mixed them...so please can someone help me in this Lab, I'm trying to create a god here that can be endowed with all these attributes...I'm amazed on  how the Christians, Jews and Muslim were able to do this trick.....Here we have a being that is inexplicable or incomprehensible or beyond explanation or cannot be known, yet all these attributes are given to this entity as if this entity is well known or explicable or explainable. To described someone or something you had have to have some knowledge of them or it  , in the case of a being, some form of observation or acquaintance has to happen. Now to look at the universe and our immediate surroundings we see complexities and intricacies that simply blows our mind , we deduced that we are also creator of things, forget about the other animals around us , because we've created things that even baffled us, and all those intricacies that appears very complex originated from our minds, also forget about all the trials and errors we have had to encountered to reached what appears to be perfection of some sort or finished product...then through this understanding we then claimed we know an entity that supposed to be inexplicable...wow!!! In other words we see a work of art that appears to be a finished product,  and then from that finished product we proclaimed to know an Artist we have never met. Again WOW!! Still many will claimed that he has touched their hearts and appeared to them via visions, dreams, and various spiritual experiences...Now let me get this straight...This being is supposed to be an inexplicable entity...right!! ok......yet a neurobiological kick boxing or flute playing occurred in the brain to produced some subjective ideas that you then used to claimed that you know this inexplicable being....wow!!! You then asked, "what had caused that weird thingy in my head" Well, there could have been a myriad of things that does have an explanation e.g from the food you eat, the body responding to something that it lacks , the body could have either been responding to stress, depression or hormone imbalance etc etc. but Whatever the means are there is an explanation for those stuff, without the use of attributing it to an incomprehensible thingy....Now the other attributes are just as bad...take for instant an all-knowing , all-good and all-powerful being and the problem of evil that engulf humanity. In other words how could there be so much evil, when we have a being that could eliminate all of  this by using his awesome power, and if he knows all...he would've known that evil could've slipped out, and he should've done everything to mitigate that problem by the snap of his fingers...or better yet...If god is the creator , and god his all-good, how could evil exist , where did evil come from...I here someone shouting IT'S FROM SATAN!!! well how did that happen , weren't the angels made specifically for a purposed , while humanity is presented with free-will, but if the angels has free will ...wouldn't it be foolish of them to used it against a being they knew personally , and that being can't lose no matter how hard they tried. They claimed that Satan was one of God favorite Angels....wow!!! and he had rebelled against God , so eventually God had thrown him out of Heaven , to earth, not any other planet or some other places in our galaxy or some other galaxy, to torment mankind...could god have averted all this by using his powers ? rather than to allowed the fallible , puny mortal such as humans to go through all the pain and suffering that awaits them on the day of Judgement....But we are not robots...we are endowed with the chains and shackles of free will...meaning if we choose what we really want we wouldn't spend eternity with god or if we choose what god want us to choose then it wouldn't have been our choice...and then we become robots for god...wow!!!! And this is to please a Being or Entity that is inexplicable....smh kmt!!!

I Think that we need to raise the bar a little higher in our discussion about the issue of Religion or  Irreligion within this forum. However, we also need to let it be more erudite and frank, rather than baseless and narrow-minded. For me, I view religion, especially monotheism or the western world view as it relates to sensitive matters of god and creation as a very interesting old topic to begin with.... So I begin by saying that the evidence of a anthropomorphic supernatural being as the cause for all that we see around us is becoming more unconvincing, for want of a better word, to a lot of individuals around the world in increasing numbers. Many think that the meaning of our life is not hitch on some invisible intelligent entity but rest solely on  us and us alone. Some say that it has been proven on several occasion through various medium in the academia arena that religion was created by mankind to appeased himself as to what is referred to as the mystery of life, especially during a particular time in human's history dubbed as the axial age. Philosophy, however tedious and uninterested in terms of its appeal to most people, is one of the few areas that tackles this issue head-on using various forms of arguments that hinges on the 5 branches of philosophy which are epistemology, metaphysics, logic, esthestics and ethics. The most fundamental bureau of philosophy is epistemology or the theory of knowledge.. that is 'how do we know what we think we know ? or how do we come to know what we think know ? The proponents of religious beliefs often claims that their knowledge comes from an unexplainable means as well as from their sacred text, but are these good enough to convinced a serious intellectual mind? . To some, there are no concrete arguments for or against the existence of any god , much less the western section of the world's concept of a god. The opponents of religion often argue that there are no evidence or cause known for the creation of the universe...They said that there is an existent standard theory or model called the Big Bang often used by the proponents of the western theistic sect, that has recently become a sieve while vomiting up many more questions than answers about it's validity.  However, there are a few more competing theories eg. The multiuniverse concept and the plasma universe concept, along with the standard model deals with scientific analysis or investigations, clearly have not come to any clear cut conclusion as to how all of this come to being...Yet according to the opponents of religion, to merely believe in a book(s) written by bronze age minds who were scientifically clueless as to how all of this began is overwhelmingly absurd and audacious. They say that the only conclusion that must be drawn is that we don't know or there are no evidence for any such claims as yet to support one view or the other...therefore we must suspend our speculative views however comforting they might be....So they conclude by saying that not knowing is not a bad thing(even though our brains doesn't operate in that way at times), in fact it can lead to more appropriate methods for investigating stuff like these. We are extremely young relative to the universe with brains that are very hungry for knowledge that it can't fathom, hence it seeks to create the answers without the aid of formal information to satisfy its voracious appetite....we make up stuff everyday during most of our limited life span...could god(s) perhaps be in that mix ?....Lets discuss further if you will...

One The Most Famous American Christian Apologist William Lane Craig, Has put Forword what appears to be some logically sound Arguments to support the existence of God. There are also Apologists Like the likes of J.P Moreland, Alister Mcgrath, Alvin Plantinga, John Lennox, C.S Lewis, Dinesh D'Souza, William Dembski just to name a few, who some how rallied in defending the faith against all comers in particular this  New Atheism with the likes of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris , Christopher Hitchens(now deceased), Victor Stenger, A.C Grayling & P.Z Myers. The Battle lines are drawn to defend & oppose the existence or non-existence of the Christian God. I've openly argued on many grounds/forums that any arguments can be logically defended & presented to an unkeen audience. So Let us Look at what these people have argued about & still arguing over. Is It Just any god or the Christian ? Is it a monotheistic doctrine concerning the nature of a God or Goddess, and their relationship to the universe & that these theists claimed they have knowledge that this god or goddess exist,. Now the questions I'm asking how do they know that ? what scientific evidence they have for their god existence / how did they come to have this knowledge? Is this knowledge can stand up to the scrutiny of Apllied Science ? Is it base on gut feelings & speculations ? Is it base entirely on devine inspirations only ? Most of these reputable Theists can not give any concrete evidence that their God Exist not even an Iota. What they can do hower, is to present a best case scenario...that all...They only can say that our arguments are better than yours especially in the Scientific limitation of our knowledge of the Universe. They know that to rely on belief alone can not cut it especially in an highly technological driven world where we are on the cutting edge like the likes of the internet,facebook & twitter making the globe a little bit closer and information moving at lightning speed. To Just read the bible and believe with all my heart will not cut it in a real rigorous intellectual discourse. You'll have to have evidence first & foremost, A grasped in debate of this nature with some concrete knowledge in Philosophy especially in areas of logic, epistemology,value theory or moral philosophy & metaphysics especially ontology will give any enough ammunition. The evidence must be scientifically sound and accepted by the scientific community & their journals. No atheist can prove that God does not exist. What an atheist can say however is that there are no evidence for a God but the lack of evidence doesn't mean that God does not exist he might be absent & don't give a damn about his creation because he can recreate anything he want anyway he want to but decided on not to be a part of thses pathetic human's life. This God is more of a deistic type that is echoed by deism community. I will accept the approached of the Agnostic because in the absent of evidence one way or the other lead us down the part of lack of knowledge. I don't know if there is a God or not & I really don't know how to accomplish that feat. Therefore I can't believe in something that's unproven nor can I reject something that I have no knowledge of that would be ridiculous however because of the way the theist have strung themselves it look almost certain that there's no god, the reason being is that the more science got nearer to prove god does not exist by closing the scientific unanswered questions the Theists god get a little bit smaller & smaller at this rate where will their god be....some are saying it will never no matter how small it become because is too vast for human to comprehend its entirety. Theoretical physicists are stringing theories after theories, particle physicists are smashing particles at CERN laboratory near Geneva in Switzerland to understand the Higgs Boson that is  a building block of our Universe....will this be the death of god pronounced many years ago by Friedrich Nietzsche ? would god become irrelevant after this discovery ? That will automatically create some other problem that can not address at this time but I love with this though .....The Ancient Semitic people called the Canaanites in their pursuit to understand LIFE & their relationship with it like all the other people around that region build themselves a creation story with many gods within their pantheon. That system evolved over period time with the emergence of the Jews through some political gymnastic that region eventually moved from a polytheistic religion to the first monotheistic religion.... Is this the same god that the early christian adopted from the Jews ? Is this the same God apologist like William lane Craig is defending..... Well, if it is so, then the Ancient Jews have pull off the GREATEST HOAX this the people on this  planet has ever Sucked!!!

This will sturr up some Bigots who are intolerant of other people's Views & opinions. I do accept that religion has hepled & still helping a lot of people to cope with all the problems that they have encountered in their lives. It provides a kind of fortress that life throw at us from time to time,It has given many individuals hope, irrespective of what that hope might lead to....but there are few amongst us, who have taken their religion beyond its intended aim. Because of these fanatical beings, the once high & unquestion ideology called Religion have shaken from once its lofty, pedestal position & sacred grounds to squarely at eye level of the free thinkers, skeptics & other secular groups on this  planet. The battle of the minds didn't start recently, in fact It had started long before the emergent of two of the world's most powerful monotheistic religion.... Christianity & Islam. It all began to emerged around the time when Western Philosophy was in its infant state, started off with Thales of Miletus. Minds from then on began to look at things in an unconventional, unorthodox, untraditional & out-of the-box approached of how we look at life & the truth behind it all. however, Phliosophy was still umbically attached to Religion & had no means or foundations until several hundred years after the likes of Socrates, Plato, & Aristotle opened a pandora's box, that up to this moment cannot be closed. They each expanded on their respective predecessors to ignite a group of intellectual astute individuals that exist within our present midst. Philosophy was a fat child that has it gets older began to shed some pounds. One of the fat was Science or better put Physics. It's through this(physics) that the entire Monotheistic Concept began to turn upside down & still reeling from it. Discoveries by physicists over the centuries have unravelled what religion & their books thought they knew. The icky & fallible hands of those who wrote the torah,bible & koran from these monotheistic faith claiming them to be YAHWEH, Jehovah or God & Allah inspired words that could never be wrong....have proven to be not only wrong but delusional & outright lie. In some cases it was evident that e.g. Christian sacred book The Bible was written out of share ignorance especially in its Creation story. We must remember,that their were a plethora of creation stories in around the basin of the mediterranean, from the days of the Babylonians & Egytians that predates Judaism & Christianity by thousands of years. The Concept of God(s) was a psychological transmission of what was inside the mind of those primitive individuals, relative to us of course..Scince then, God has remained in the mninds of religiously incline individuals refusings in seems to emerge from that hiding spot to world of reality or at least what human's perceived as reality. The mind is real & whatever experience that occurred in the mind & mind alone cannot be considered if it is not objectively seen by others e.g if I can create an image of a unicorn of whatever colour or an elephant that is pink...it will appear very real in my mind but in objective reality it doesn't exist,hence whatever remain in the mind and cannot be seen in reality must be considerd a figment of someone's imagination. Am I saying that GOD is figment of people's  imaginations. There are lot practical ways you can prove what is stated here to verify whether is true or false. Remember that religious individuals will find every means to remained delusional even in when they are confronted by concrete evidence and that what keeps it alive after several thousands of years, It gives hope as long has there is faith that your dice might role in this life that is base on probability,serendipity, chance, luck or whatever name that can be attach to it, but if that faith is hinged on the idea that Yahweh,Jehovah or GOD & Allah exist & one day he/she'll come for you riding on white horses to trumpets blowing & angel singing while the sky  been open to take you up to some place called paradise or heaven, then I think that you really need a psychologist or psychiatrist. Go & search to find God,bring him as evidence & I'll Guarantee you that it will never happen but if I ask you where is god I guarantee you that either you say God is beyond the physcical realms of human persent perception or beyond human understanding,, He/she is spirit/ghost, he/she's timeless,spaceless,changeless & imaterial or whatever the imagination & logical arguments want him/she to be & I'll stand with science and its probing attitude to know, rather to rely on speculation than investigation,experimentation & data collection & verification that the way my mind will graps things. I don't send my kids to school to rely on speculation in their up coming GSAT exams but to rely on the informations they had received from their respective tutors. I cannot rely on Imformation or knowledge that is unverified or obscure,vague,abstract, clouded or very susceptible that whoever is unloading it might deliver a type of cut-the-foot-to-fit-the-shoe argument like a contortionist. So the goodness of religion out weighs a lot of it bad ways for sure when it permeate a lot of good stuff in the cultural psyche of a nation, like empathy, producing action like love your neighbors as you love youself slogans that entwined into the social order for the overall survival of the clan and hence the species. Without putting you in the valley of boredom I'll direct your attention to a vital area and that is  the evolutionary process of the human brain which is very wide, technical & comprehensive so have look at my Facebook Account plnthn or Neville Wright for extensive posts on this very controversial issue or checked with other sites that can enlighten your mind & educate your brain

I need to know if you're my true friend, will you be by my side until the end? Can I tell you my secrets deep, and trust them in your heart you'll keep? We are neither of us without our flaws, can you accept mine as I will yours? I'll be a shoulder to cry on when you're blue, will you be there for me when I need you? No matter how busy I will make time for you, if you are busy will you make time for me too? I will take your hand and comfort your tears, will you hold me and soothe my fears? I will give you joy and many warm smiles, can we share that even across many miles? I will not forget what's important to you, will you remember what's important to me too? With you my most favourite things I'll share, If only I know do you truly care? If you can accept me as I do you, then I will know you are a friend most true

We've been taught we're just a collection of cells, and that we die when our bodies wear out. End of story. I've written textbooks showing how cells can be engineered into virtually all the tissues and organs of the human body. But a long list of scientific experiments suggests our belief in death is based on a false premise, that the world exists independent of us the great observer.

Here are five reasons you won't die.

Reason One. You're not an object, you're a special being. According to biocentrism, nothing could exist without consciousness. Remember you can't see through the bone surrounding your brain. Space and time aren't objects, but rather the tools our mind uses to weave everything together.

Opening your soul will open your spiritual eyes and lead you to see the truth and obtain enlightenment. In addition, you will discover many so-called "supernatural" powers within yourself when you empower your chakras. When the chakras are correctly aligned and empowered, healing of both physical, and mental ailments will often occur miraculously.

Azazel who is a Master of Spiritual Alchemy worked with me in detail on each one of these meditations. 7/21/07, several have been revised in light of new knowledge. These meditations are extremely powerful and often, the effects can be felt hours later. It is important to follow instructions and if you are new to power meditation, to go slow. If you have already done the former meditations, it is fine to do these. Quite a few people reported little or no effects from the former meditations that were taken from books. There are a certain number of repetitions for each exercise. If you find you are getting over stimulated, it is advised you end the exercise and back off. The exercise can be resumed at a later date while you give your nervous system time to adjust to the increased life force. It is strongly recommended to give yourself a few days or more between each exercise. People who have problems with seizures/epilepsy, or who are on psychiatric medications should not perform any of these power meditations, with the exception of void meditation, unless given the ok by their physician.

They are highly effective in opening the chakras and stimulating the kundalini. These new meditations are filled with Satanic energy. Those who have not dedicated or are outsiders should give this consideration. For dedicated Satanists, the effects should be very positive in opening and empowering the chakras and in increasing personal power.
These meditations produce very rapid results. Standard kundalini meditations of the New Age variety can take years to have a pronounced effect. These meditations, like Satanism are the real thing.
Void meditation is highly recommended in order to control the thoughts and mind that will be stimulated by the opening of the chakras.

There are a certain number of repetitions for each exercise. If you find you are getting over stimulated, it is advised you end the exercise and back off. The exercise can be resumed at a later date while you give your nervous system time to adjust to the increased life force.

The meditations are performed with specific chants for each chakra. Each chant is based on the Yogic Humming Breath. With this breath, you inhale to fill your lungs and with the exhale, you vibrate the chant until you are out of breath, then you breathe in and fill your lungs as before. This breath is normally used with the throat chakra;
1. Inhale through your nose, filling your lungs
2. Exhale on one long vibration, this will draw out the exhale
3. Breathe in again and repeat.

Some of the chants/vibrations are based upon runes. Runes are based upon the constellations and are the most ancient of alphabets. They are the original form of writing and the cuneiform script was derived from them.* Many of the runes can still be seen in the cuneiform characters. The runes have always been an abomination to the xian church, more so than with any other form of magick.

For the first through fourth chakras, it is necessary to apply what is known as the "Jalandahara Bandha." This is where you nod your head and press your chin firmly, but gently against your chest. This greatly facilitates the effects of the chants in the lower chakras.

Mudras (hand positions) are used as these connect certain circuits within the fingers and redirect the life force to the chakra being opened. Some of these are difficult, especially if your hands are larger. These mudras are helpful, but not necessary. If you find any of these hand positions difficult, just leave them out.

You should focus on the chakras in the middle of your body. Extensions are along the spine and in the front of the body. Opening and empowering these are more advanced and specific meditations are given in the advanced meditation volume. Too much stimulation right away is undesirable. Everyone comes to Satanism on different levels. Those of us who empowered our souls in past lives will be much more sensitive to the meditations. This is inborn, but anyone who performs the following exercises will eventually open their chakras.

1. CHANCROID - Chancroid is a bacterial disease that is spread only through sexual contact. Chancroid is a sexually-transmitted infection caused by a type of bacteria called Haemophilus ducreyi

SYMPTOMS

Within 1 day - 2 weeks after getting chancroid, a person will get a small bump in the genitals. The bump becomes an ulcer within a day of its appearance. The ulcer:

• Ranges in size from 1/8 inch to 2 inches across
• Is painful
• Has sharply defined borders
• Has irregular or ragged borders
• Has a base that is covered with a grey or yellowish-grey material
• Has a base that bleeds easily if banged or scraped

About half of infected men have only a single ulcer. Women often have 4 or more ulcers. The ulcers appear in specific locations.

Common locations in men are:

• Foreskin (prepuce)
• Groove behind the head of the penis (coronal sulcus)
• Shaft of the penis
• Head of the penis (glans)
• Opening of the penis (urethral meatus)
• Scrotum

In women the most common location for ulcers is the outer lips of the vagina (labia majora). "Kissing ulcers" may develop. These are ulcers that occur on opposite surfaces of the labia. Other areas such as the inner vagina lips (labia minora), the area between the genitals and the anus (perineal area), and inner thighs may also be involved. The most common symptoms in women are pain with urination and intercourse.

2. VAGINITIS  - commonly mistaken for yeast infection


Vaginal discharge is a frequent gynecologic complaint, accounting for more than 10 million office visits annually. Physiologic vaginal discharge is white, odorless and increases during midcycle due to estrogen. Abnormal vaginal discharge may result from vaginitis or vaginosis, cervicitis and occasionally endometritis. Vaginitis presents with an increase in the amount, odor or color of discharge and may be accompanied by itching, dysuria, dyspareunia, edema or irritation of the vulva. The three most common causes of vaginal discharge are bacterial vaginosis or BV (40% to 50% of cases; associated with Gardnerella vaginalis and overgrowth of various bacteria including anaerobes), vulvovaginal candidiasis (20% to 25% of cases) and trichomoniasis (figure 31) (15% to 20% of cases). While trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease, bacterial vaginosis occurs in women with high rates of STDs as well as in women who have never been sexually active

3. Human Papillomavirus Infection


MALE


Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. The prevalence ranges from 20% to 46% in young women worldwide. In the U.S., 1% of sexually active persons between the ages of 15 to 49 years are estimated to have genital warts from HPV. The incidence of HPV infection is high among college students (35% to 43%) especially among minority races, individuals with multiple sexual partners and alcohol consumption. Immunocompromised persons including those with HIV infection have increased prevalence of HPV infection.


USE BOOTS AND STOP BUY PUCCI

Painful Sex  A large number of women are said to suffer from painful sex at some time or the other in their lives. In majority this remains unspoken and the women takes it that it may be a normal phenomenon or some think that they are alone with this problem. This condition is known as Dysparennia. Some amount of pain during sex is common and goes off after sometime. Common causes of Pain during sex: Vaginal Dryness Vaginismus Vaginitis Lichen Sclerosis Vulvadynia Vestibulitis Cystitis Menopausal Thining Endometriosis Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases Radiation Scarring Vaginal Dryness - is one of the most common causes of pain during sex especially in young brides because of ignorance, insufficient arousal, inadequate foreplay, fear of pregnancy, stress or hormonal imbalance. Vaginismus - is a phenomenon in which the muscles at the vaginal opening constrict into tight spasm as soon as intercourse is attempted. This is a protective response against penetration and can happen specially with brides because of extreme fear, inhibition, improper sex education, childhood trauma, witnessing an unpleasant sexual activity. This results in a vicious circle of pain and fear. Vaginitis - is any type of vaginal infection or may be due to some allergic reaction or chemical irritation. The commonest is Thrush - a fungal infection resulting to foul smelling discharge.   Click here for the rest of definitions.

1) Pre-Training Punch
Hitting the iron like a pro? Take in hefty dose of easy to absorb proteins and carbs 60-90 minutes before gym-time. The c****o exerts anti-catabolic effect protecting your hard earned muscle while sparing muscle reserves of energy called glycogen. Good bets: 25-35 grams of whey protein mixed into a large bowl of cream of rice cereal or plop ? cup of fat free cottage cheese on top of a large baked potato.


2) Gouge After Training
Done training? Hit the kitchen! Training initiates a state where large amounts of carbohydrates and protein can be absorbed and utilized for muscle growth ? more so than any other time of the day. Try eating 40 and up to 65 grams of protein ? depending on your size ? and .5 to .6 grams of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight


3) Cycle Carbs
Really hard trainers need roughly 2 grams of carbs per pound of bodyweight daily, though some will need 3. The best approach: eat 2 grams per pound of bodyweight daily for 4 days and on the fifth day, go to 3. The reason: cycling carbs not only helps keep you lean, but can keep growth supporting hormones like insulin, GH and thyroid levels mildly higher translating into grater growth.


4) Cheat
Pro Bodybuilders often take a cheat day ? they?ll pick one day out of every 2 weeks and just go wild ? eating anything and nearly everything they want. The results? They grow even better. Why? When calories zoom upwards, the body responds by increasing insulin ?like growth factor (IGF) which not only help repair muscle tissue but assists in creating brand new muscle fibers, called satellite cells.


5) Creatine Load
Case closed; creatine works. It increases muscle strength and size. However, cycling it, 2 weeks at 5 grams a day, followed by 4 days off then 2 days at 20 grams might trick the muscles into holding greater amounts. How so? With a creatine ?deficit? the machinery within the body that stores it, works overtime. With a greater dose ? 20 grams ? muscles sop the stuff up and retain larger amounts.


6) Leucine
Leucine is one of the three branched chain amino acids, but this one takes top billing. It increases insulin ? the muscle building hormone ? independent of carbohydrates- helping to reverse muscle breakdown. Try taking 5-7 grams 20 minutes before the gym and another 5 grams after.


7) Lucky Seven
Bodybuilders make better gains eating 4-6 meals a day and even better with 7. Multiple meals supplies non-stop muscle building nutrients without setting off fat storing hormones and enzymes associated with larger, infrequent meals. The other plus: cortisol control. The many meal approach suppresses cortisol levels, the hormone that can suppress muscle growth.


8) Cool Beef
When dietary fat is kept under control, it makes room for a much higher carbohydrate. Contrary to popular bodybuilding mythology, carbs are essential and are extremely anabolic in that they increase insulin levels, a potent anabolic hormone. That said, don?t skimp on beef ? though it?s a little higher in dietary fat. It?s packed with B vitamins, minerals, zinc and iron making it a must-have food for muscle building.


9) Go Fish
What do Tuna grade sushi, baked salmon, and grilled trout have in common? They?re loaded with special fast called omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3?s fight muscle inflammation, spare glutamine levels and increase the anabolic response to insulin. The result: recovery and growth. Try 4-6 ounces 3 times a week.


10) Pump It Up
What do Viagara and the amino acid arginine have in common?. Yep, they both work at, well, you know. They do so by increasing nitric oxide production, a compound in the body that allows *lo** to flow. Ever hear of the pump, the gorging of *lo** into muscles when you train? That?s a solid stimulus for growth and nitric oxide is a chief facilitator for better pumps.


11) Crush The Cortisol
What?s the opposite of anabolism? Catabolism - losing muscle - is accompanied by a rise in cortisol, a stress hormone that chews apart your hard earned mass. A trio of supplements taken after training can squelch its devilish rise. Try 1000 mgs of vitamin C, 400 ius of vitamin E and 800 mgs of the quasi fat called phosphatidylserine.


12) NightTime Morsels
What?s the best thing to eat before bedtime? You need protein to help repair tissue and 2 sources lead the pack. Casein can linger in the body for up to 7 hours ? delivering sustained release amino acids for nighttime growth. Omega-3 proteins are a close second. The fat content delays the absorption of all the amino acids ? providing constant delivery while the special fat is reported to support growth hormone release.


13) Glutamine and Sugar
Try this post training drink within 5 minutes of your final set. Ten grams of glutamine and 30 grams of carbohydrates ? from dextrose or even sugar to kick start growth. Glutamine supports the carb-up process which signals an end to muscle breakdown and sugar kicks up insulin levels, the potent hormone that is extremely effective in reversing tissue damage.


14) Protein!
The single most important factor in growth, protein supplies amino acids, the building blocks the body uses to repair, rebuild and mend damaged muscle tissue ? the result of training. Aim for at least 1 grams per pound of bodyweight per day and for maximal amino acid uptake, break your protein meals into 5 to 7 servings.


15) Play With The Protein
Did you know reducing your protein intake that to .6 grams per pound of bodyweight for 4 consecutive days out of the month might be helpful? During the shortfall, the body ?fights? to protect its muscle by releasing enzymes and messengers that oppose muscle loss. When you return to a higher protein intake, the body overcompensates and retains more protein for added growth.


16) Carbs are Essential!
Don?t you let anyone tell you, you don?t need carbs for growth! Heck, they play an essential role in muscle building. First they provide fuel ? and repairing the body is a fuel-requiring process. They also increase insulin, which, in turn increases other growth promoting hormones and enzymes. Carbs are also stored as muscle glycogen the essential form of fuel for brutal workouts.


17) Zinc
What?s the most underrated nutrient for mass building? Zinc. It helps the body make insulin, testosterone and it supports the immune system. It also is required for over 200 other enzymatic reactions in the body. Not bad huh? Problem is; it?s sometimes hard to get a full 18-20 mgs a day. Best bets; oysters, beans and seafood.


18) Milk
Low fat or skim, milk is a complete source of protein, and highly anti-catabolic. The amino acids in milk digest slowly ? which makes it ideal in preventing muscle breakdown. Plus, milk exerts a repartioning effect ? where calories become less efficient at making body fat ? which means they are either used to build mass, or simply burned off the body.


19) Potassium
Potassium helps muscles contract and assists in the manufacture of muscle glycogen, the reserve fuel tank within muscles and liver that supplies energy to muscles. A low potassium intake can short circuit your ability to carbo-load your muscles. Since potassium is stored within muscles, it?s speculated that ? like creatine and glutamine ? it adds to the total amount of water muscle can retain and store. The benefit; more water in muscles facilitates an anabolic environment causing greater muscle growth. Good sources include lean meat, yogurt, bananas and potatoes or try supplementing with 1000-1500 mgs daily split over 5-6 meals (200-300 mgs over any 5 meals)


20) Drink
Water is the medium for metabolism; getting nutrients to muscles and helping to detoxify the body of metabolic waste products that can put a drag on growth. Water builds glycogen reserves, *lo** volume, and directly supports growth by signaling anabolic mechanisms in muscles for greater protein synthesis. A gallon a day is what the big boys drink; from Cutler to Coleman, you?ll find water is not for wimps.

Sciatica is one of the most difficult conditions for medical practitioners, even those experienced in treating back pain and sciatica patients, to identify and

treat. Sciatica often presents itself as a tingling and/or numbness, not unlike the feeling one may experience with a pulled hamstring muscle, the biceps femoris at

the back of the leg. The sensation may be dull, almost an ache, with periods of tingling and/or numbness occurring during certain activities.

Many causes of sciatica exist. Instances of trauma to the sciatica nerve have been reported from accidents injuring the pelvic region, diseases such as diabetes

damaging the sciatica nerve, osteoarthritis induced bone spurs narrowing the spinal canal and tumors placing pressure on the nerve. More commonly, however, the cause

of sciatica can be found in a herniated lumbar disc.

When a person has to deal with sciatica for quite some time the best thing to learn about are all the different causes of sciatica. In fact, many people are rather

surprised when they find out some of the different things that cause sciatica. Even though it depends on what type of professional you speak with about sciatica, there

are really many different ways to get sciatica.

Treatment of sciatica is usually associated with treating a bulging disc. The first line of treatment is usually an attempt to reduce inflammation to reduce pressure

on the nerve by means of oral medications. For more powerful anti-inflammatory effects, spinal injections with steroids like cortisone may be used.

This exercise program is primarily geared to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the lower back and the legs, reducing back pain and sciatica. The following are

stretches that will assist in pain reduction and relief by removing much of the stress from the lower back, pelvis (hips) and lower extremities.

Natural remedies are growing in acceptance and are usually gentler and safer to use and focuses on other mean to achieve pain relief and help with a healthier back.

While drugs are appropriate for immediate pain relief, reduction of inflammation and relaxation of muscles, it may be better to avoid them on an ongoing basis and to

look for a holistic approach to treating the problem.

Sciatica Symptom:

In the previous two articles in this series we've discussed some of the reasons why we experience sciatic nerve pain or sciatica. In this article I would like to jump

back just a bit and discuss the symptoms associated with sciatica, explain just why we experience this type of pain, and some of the other basic issues often faced

when we experience it.

You cannot begin to consider cures for sciatica without first understanding exactly what sciatica is. That said, allow me to reiterate that cures for sciatica exist

and are available, accessible, and effective as you will see in this article and on the next page.

Sciatica Treatment

Chiropractors, through the use of manually induced spinal adjustments, can often help the symptoms of sciatica. The adjustments, usually quick and painless, can align

the spine and reduce the pressure on the sciatic nerve. A sciatica treatment usually begins with some type of heat therapy to loosen up the muscles surrounding the

affected area.

Sciatica Causes

Many different sciatica causes exist. Sciatica, a symptom of a diagnosed condition, can stem from a number of ailments. Though sciatica leg pain is the most common

complaint, not all individuals will experience it. For example, in piriformis syndrome, discomfort and pain are most often felt in the buttocks and hip area.

Sciatica exercise can greatly enhance a sciatica sufferer's quality of life, easing pain and creating a stronger, more limber body. Many health practitioners agree

that the key to preventing repeat episodes of sciatica is practicing sciatica exercise on a daily basis.

Some typical symptoms which you should consider when trying to decide whether you may be suffering from piriformis syndrome are pain in the buttock, the discomfort in

the back of the leg described before, and a painful muscle spasm or tenderness in the buttock evident when pressure is applied to it.

Releasing muscle tension is simple enough if you know how to stretch, what to stretch and when to stretch... the 3 essential ingredients for any stretching routine.

Building muscle strength also is simple. You don't need to spend hours in a gym, all you need to know is how to stimulate the nerve and *la*hd supply to your muscles

which gives them the strength they need to support your joints. Exercise just means you can lift more heavy objects.

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. Its nerve roots run from the lumbar spinal cord located at the lower back extending through the buttocks, hips and

lower limb. When this nerve becomes inflamed or irritated it produces pain that resembles like a leg cramp.

CONSCIOUSNESS is primarily what drives life to explore itself to find out its potentialities.Because We're the by-product of life itself,all living material  is a by-product of life,we have this thing call CONSCIOUNESS that drives us to know more about ourselves,yes we're conscious beings.I like to believe that consciouusness is the same thing as ENERGY.One of the laws of thermodynamics state that 'energy can neither be created nor be destroy' and energy is made-up of atoms ;an atom is made of proton,neutron & electron.These are the  particles that drives the atom and atom in return drives  energy and the rest is a chain reaction.Scence "Energy cannot be created nor be destroy' we must assumed that it always exist and that energy is what humans call LIFE.Primitive human minds wanted to coped with life therefore they devised a method and that method was to personified life in order to relate to life itself.That personification of life is what human called GOD.GOD CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR BE DESTROY,LIFE CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR BE DESTROY and ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR BE DESTROY.The anthropomoorphic concept of god or gods came about as a result of the human mind personifying life in order to understand life and coped with the harsh realities of life itself.Remember this LIFE IS,ENERGY IS CONSCIOUSNESS IS and GOD IS.LIFE IS INFINITVE.to be continued

A deep trance makes it possible to access the subconscious mind and to program it as we seee fit. The active left side of the brain blocks out any attempts to access the passive right side where the seat of the unconscious is. This is analagous to turning off the electricity to a room or a building in order to fix the wiring. The right side of the brain is where we can program our minds to manifest what we want in reality.

To get into a trance state takes practice. Remember, each of us is individual and some may find this easier than others. The important thing is to be persistent and patient with yourself. Persistence and consistency are everything here.

Performing breathing exercises before trance is highly recommended, as this will naturally calm the nervous system.

1. Sit comfortably. Do not lie down because you might fall asleep.

2. Breathe in for a count of six, hold for a count of six and then exhale for a count of six. Do this breathing until you are completely relaxed. Ideally, you should no longer be able to feel your body.

3. Imagine you are climbing down a ladder in the dark. Dont visualize a ladder; just imagine you can feel yourself doing it. On the exhale, feel yourself climbing a step or two down the ladder. On the inhale, feel yourself holding still on the ladder.

4. Now, let go of the ladder and free fall backwards. If you get dizzy or disoriented, just bring your attention to the front of your body and this will stop. This mental falling effect, when combined with deep relaxation and mental calmness, will cause you to enter the trance state.

What is needed is a mental falling effect inside your mind. This changes the level of brain wave activity from the awake level (Beta) to the asleep level (Alpha) or the deep sleep level (Theta). Once your level of brain wave activity reaches Alpha you will enter a trance. Once you get the heavy feeling, stop the mental falling exercise. If you dont like the ladder, imagine you are in a lift [elevator], feel yourself falling on the exhale and holding on the inhale. Or, Imagine you are a feather, feel yourself floating down on the exhale and holding still on the inhale. You need a mental falling effect to lower your level of brain wave activity.

5. Keep doing this for as long as it takes. The time it takes to enter trance will vary, depending on your experience with deep relaxation and mental calmness.

A trance feels like: Everything gets quieter and you feel like you are in a much bigger place. There is a very slight humming feeling in your body. Everything feels different. It feels a bit like putting a cardboard box over your head in the dark, you can feel the atmosphere change. Its like everything goes fuzzy or slightly blurred. Any sharp noises, while in trance are painful.

6. To bring yourself out of the trance:
Concentrate on moving your fingers or toes. Once you can move a finger or toe, flex your hands, move your arms, shake your head, i.e., reanimate your body; and get up and walk around for a few minutes.

What this exercise does:
In order to advance in psychic power, we must train our minds. When we are in a trance state, our brain waves slow down considerably. There are two sides to the brain- the left logical/intellectual masculine side and the right creative/intuitive feminine side. The right side is the seat of the subconscious. This is the area of the mind that is open to suggestion and programming and the seat of our astral power. When the left side of our brain is active in thinking, the right side cannot be accessed. Trance states shut off the left side so we can access and program the right side (subconscious).

It takes training to be able to induce a deep trance state. Deep trance states are not always necessary, but for specific workings, they are very important. Once we train our minds to go deeper and deeper into a trance, this becomes easier and easier and takes less and less time as we become adept. The mind is like a muscle and for most people, this exercise will be an introduction to a part of the mind that has never even been accessed before.

It is *very* important to never be startled out of a trance state, especially a deep one, so make sure you are in a room or area where you are left alone and the phone is turned off. Being startled and pulled out of a trance the wrong way can be extremely painful and the pain can last for days, especially if you are doing energy work in this state.

It is normal when in a trance state for any sounds to be very painful. This is because in this state, our senses are extremely heightened.

An adept can place themselves in a deep trance within seconds at will. In closing, it is not necessary to always go into a deep trance to work with your mind. The trance state is used to train your mind. With very important or difficult workings, a deep trance is often necessary.

Here's something to chew on, and I know it will cause some controversy among our readers. Scientists from the US and Europe have announced that genetic material that originated from outer space might prove that "we" originated from some other life form.

This material was found in a meteorite in Australia. Scientists, they say, have actually proven that two bits of coding, called nucleobases, are extraterrestrial.

Allegedly, these two bits of coding, uracil and xanthine, are present in our DNA, and would have been necessary for life to form here on Earth.

Now, here comes the problem. I don't doubt that they have found what they say they have, however, our Creator could have used any method that He desired to create mankind. My question to you is this: Why do scientists always try to find a way to explain the creation of life on Earth without God? If these two nucleobases are essential to life, where did they come from, and who created them? Get my drift? Tell me your thoughts on this.

Jamaica was the first country in the Western world to construct a railway, even before the United States! This was only 18 years after Britain!

Jamaica stands strong in 3rd place on the list of countries to win the Miss World titles the most! [Hmmm!] The only countries to have won it more than Jamaica is India, Venezuela and the UK, but considering the size of Jamaica, you have to say that this achievement is monumental!

Its hard to imagine a more fundamental and ubiquitous aspect of life on the Earth than gravity, from the moment you first took a step and fell on your diapered bottom to the slow terminal sagging of flesh and dreams.

But what if its all an illusion, a sort of cosmic frill, or a side effect of something else going on at deeper levels of reality?

So says Erik Verlinde, 48, a respected string theorist and professor of physics at the University of Amsterdam, whose contention that gravity is indeed an illusion has caused a continuing ruckus among physicists, or at least among those who profess to understand it. Reversing the logic of 300 years of science, he argued in a recent paper, titled On the Origin of Gravity and the Laws of Newton, that gravity is a consequence of the venerable laws of thermodynamics, which describe the behavior of heat and gases.

For me gravity doesnt exist, said Dr. Verlinde, who was recently in the United States to explain himself. Not that he cant fall down, but Dr. Verlinde is among a number of physicists who say that science has been looking at gravity the wrong way and that there is something more basic, from which gravity emerges, the way stock markets emerge from the collective behavior of individual investors or that elasticity emerges from the mechanics of atoms.

Looking at gravity from this angle, they say, could shed light on some of the vexing cosmic issues of the day, like the dark energy, a kind of anti-gravity that seems to be speeding up the expansion of the universe, or the dark matter that is supposedly needed to hold galaxies together.

Dr. Verlindes argument turns on something you could call the bad hair day theory of gravity.

It goes something like this: your hair frizzles in the heat and humidity, because there are more ways for your hair to be curled than to be straight, and nature likes options. So it takes a force to pull hair straight and eliminate natures options. Forget curved space or the spooky attraction at a distance described by Isaac Newtons equations well enough to let us navigate the rings of Saturn, the force we call gravity is simply a byproduct of natures propensity to maximize disorder.

Some of the best physicists in the world say they dont understand Dr. Verlindes paper, and many are outright skeptical. But some of those very same physicists say he has provided a fresh perspective on some of the deepest questions in science, namely why space, time and gravity exist at all even if he has not yet answered them.

Some people have said it cant be right, others that its right and we already knew it that its right and profound, right and trivial, Andrew Strominger, a string theorist at Harvard said.

What you have to say, he went on, is that it has inspired a lot of interesting discussions. Its just a very interesting collection of ideas that touch on things we most profoundly do not understand about our universe. Thats why I liked it.

Dr. Verlinde is not an obvious candidate to go off the deep end. He and his brother Herman, a Princeton professor, are celebrated twins known more for their mastery of the mathematics of hard-core string theory than for philosophic flights.

Born in Woudenberg, in the Netherlands, in 1962, the brothers got early inspiration from a pair of 1970s television shows about particle physics and black holes. I was completely captured, Dr. Verlinde recalled. He and his brother obtained Ph.Ds from the University of Utrecht together in 1988 and then went to Princeton, Erik to the Institute for Advanced Study and Herman to the university. After bouncing back and forth across the ocean, they got tenure at Princeton. And, they married and divorced sisters. Erik left Princeton for Amsterdam to be near his children.

He made his first big splash as a graduate student when he invented Verlinde Algebra and the Verlinde formula, which are important in string theory, the so-called theory of everything, which posits that the world is made of tiny wriggling strings.

You might wonder why a string theorist is interested in Newtons equations. After all Newton was overturned a century ago by Einstein, who explained gravity as warps in the geometry of space-time, and who some theorists think could be overturned in turn by string theorists.

Over the last 30 years gravity has been undressed, in Dr. Verlindes words, as a fundamental force.

This disrobing began in the 1970s with the discovery by Jacob Bekenstein of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Stephen Hawking of Cambridge University, among others, of a mysterious connection between black holes and thermodynamics, culminating in Dr. Hawkings discovery in 1974 that when quantum effects are taken into account black holes would glow and eventually explode.

In a provocative calculation in 1995, Ted Jacobson, a theorist from the University of Maryland, showed that given a few of these holographic ideas, Einsteins equations of general relativity are just a another way of stating the laws of thermodynamics.

Those exploding black holes (at least in theory none has ever been observed) lit up a new strangeness of nature. Black holes, in effect, are holograms like the 3-D images you see on bank cards. All the information about what has been lost inside them is encoded on their surfaces. Physicists have been wondering ever since how this holographic principle that we are all maybe just shadows on a distant wall applies to the universe and where it came from. In one striking example of a holographic universe, Juan Maldacena of the Institute for Advanced Study constructed a mathematical model of a soup can universe, where what happened inside the can, including gravity, is encoded in the label on the outside of the can, where there was no gravity, as well as one less spatial dimension. If dimensions dont matter and gravity doesnt matter, how real can they be?

Lee Smolin, a quantum gravity theorist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, called Dr. Jacobsons paper one of the most important papers of the last 20 years.

But it received little attention at first, said Thanu Padmanabhan of the Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Pune, India, who has taken up the subject of emergent gravity in several papers over the last few years. Dr. Padmanabhan said that the connection to thermodynamics went deeper that just Einsteins equations to other theories of gravity. Gravity, he said recently in a talk at the Perimeter Institute, is the thermodynamic limit of the statistical mechanics of atoms of space-time.

Dr. Verlinde said he had read Dr. Jacobsons paper many times over the years but that nobody seemed to have gotten the message. People were still talking about gravity as a fundamental force. Clearly we have to take these analogies seriously, but somehow no one does, he complained.

His paper, posted to the physics archive in January, resembles Dr. Jacobsons in many ways, but Dr. Verlinde bristles when people say he has added nothing new to Dr. Jacobsons analysis. What is new, he said, is the idea that differences in entropy can be the driving mechanism behind gravity, that gravity is, as he puts it an entropic force.

That inspiration came to him courtesy of a thief.

As he was about to go home from a vacation in the south of France last summer, a thief broke into his room and stole his laptop, his keys, his passport, everything. I had to stay a week longer, he said, I got this idea.

Up the beach, his brother got a series of e-mail messages first saying that he had to stay longer, then that he had a new idea and finally, on the third day, that he knew how to derive Newtons laws from first principles, at which point Herman recalled thinking, Whats going on here? What has he been drinking?

When they talked the next day it all made more sense, at least to Herman. Its interesting, Herman said, how having to change plans can lead to different thoughts.

Think of the universe as a box of scrabble letters. There is only one way to have the letters arranged to spell out the Gettysburg Address, but an astronomical number of ways to have them spell nonsense. Shake the box and it will tend toward nonsense, disorder will increase and information will be lost as the letters shuffle toward their most probable configurations. Could this be gravity?

As a metaphor for how this would work, Dr. Verlinde used the example of a polymer a strand of DNA, say, a noodle or a hair curling up.

It took me two months to understand polymers, he said.

The resulting paper, as Dr. Verlinde himself admits, is a little vague.

This is not the basis of a theory, Dr. Verlinde explained. I dont pretend this to be a theory. People should read the words I am saying opposed to the details of equations.

Dr. Padmanabhan said that he could see little difference between Dr. Verlindes and Dr. Jacobsons papers and that the new element of an entropic force lacked mathematical rigor. I doubt whether these ideas will stand the test of time, he wrote in an e-mail message from India. Dr. Jacobson said he couldnt make sense of it.

John Schwarz of the California Institute of Technology, one of the fathers of string theory, said the paper was very provocative. Dr. Smolin called it, very interesting and also very incomplete.

At a workshop in Texas in the spring, Raphael Bousso of the University of California, Berkeley, was asked to lead a discussion on the paper.

The end result was that everyone else didnt understand it either, including people who initially thought that did make some sense to them, he said in an e-mail message.

In any case, Eriks paper has drawn attention to what is genuinely a deep and important question, and thats a good thing, Dr. Bousso went on, I just dont think we know any better how this actually works after Eriks paper. There are a lot of follow-up papers, but unlike Erik, they dont even understand the problem.

The Verlinde brothers are now trying to recast these ideas in more technical terms of string theory, and Erik has been on the road a bit, traveling in May to the Perimeter Institute and Stony Brook University on Long Island, stumping for the end of gravity. Michael Douglas, a professor at Stony Brook, described Dr. Verlindes work as a set of ideas that resonates with the community, adding, everyone is waiting to see if this can be made more precise.

Until then the jury of Dr. Verlindes peers will still be out.

Over lunch in New York, Dr. Verlinde ruminated over his experiences of the last six months. He said he had simply surrendered to his intuition. When this idea came to me, I was really excited and euphoric even, Dr. Verlinde said. Its not often you get a chance to say something new about Newtons laws. I dont see immediately that I am wrong. Thats enough to go ahead.

He said friends had encouraged him to stick his neck out and that he had no regrets. If I am proven wrong, something has been learned anyway. Ignoring it would have been the worst thing.

The next day Dr. Verlinde gave a more technical talk to a bunch of physicists in the city. He recalled that someone had told him the other day that the unfolding story of gravity was like the emperors new clothes.

Weve known for a long time gravity doesnt exist, Dr. Verlinde said, Its time to yell it.

Money bags

This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens
once every 823 years. This is called money bags. So, share this with  
your friends and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese
Feng Shui. The one who does not share.....will be without money.  

Kinda interesting - read on!!!


This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.

1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...

Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add
the age you will be this year,

The results will be 111 for everyone in the whole world. This is the year of 
the Money!!! 

The proverb goes that if you share this with eight good friends money will  
appear in next four days as it is explained in Chinese FENGSHUI.
 

Its a mystery, but its worth a try. good luck.

Aight school didn't let out but I just haven't had a wash out in years. Mom used to mek it an gi mi, but I never knew what was in it....all i memba it did bitta yuh ras....anyhow....please tell me what natural ingredients u use. I'm looking for sumptin strong but safe.

The Church is Anti Christ At this point I would like to question the churchs interpretation of the bible. If Christs Father did create the human race as it proclaims, why did He found a societal system of Bondage that includes dependence and knowledge deprivation then place His creation within it? Are these not evil traits? And how does the "LORD Gods" behavior coincide with the modern day global elite and what their policies have done to you as they trickle down through the hierarchy of society? Revelation 12:9; And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. The book of Revelation tells us that Satan and his demons were cast out of Heaven unto the earth. The bible also tells us they control the planet. II Corinthians 4:4; In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. The act of blinding someone is bestowing lies upon them making them live and teach those lies to future generations. This means it is Satan that is being referenced to in II Corinthians 4:4. How do I know? John 8:44; Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. The bible also says Satan is THE DESTROYER. Exodus 12:13; For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the *lo** upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. Earlier I proved that a paycheck does not return Freedom because Freedoms origin is knowledge. Yet, the masses have been led to believe through various mind control tactics that if they have a job they are independent in supporting themselves. You can now see how the global elite use the societal system to lie to the masses. Do you see how this relates to biblical scripture? How does Exodus 12:13 coincide with the results of your marble test, Hosea 4:4, II Corinthians 4:4 and Revelation 12:9? The facts prove that today we all live in Bondage, enslaved to the global elite. They lie to us either directly in the speeches they give and indirectly through the societal system. Proof that Satans demons are in control of earth and have had control of earth all through history just as the bible says. The churchs interpretation of the bible is wrong. Pastors in Churchs across the land are teaching the lies they were taught. Christs Father would never found a societal system that deprives His creation of knowledge keeping them in Bondage. This ought to be enough to make one wonder if Church believing Christians even read their bibles! The bible even warns them that Satans demons take on the image of God which is exactly what they did in Eden, how else would they gain control of earth?: II Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. It is frightening to wake up to the fact that you live within a control system that lies to you, deprives you of knowledge and controls your destiny. Many do not want to believe because it is so horrifying. They have no choice in the matter. Think of how many people who are still unaware. Whats going to happen to them? The government approved a system called, "Veri-Chip"/"Digital Angel" that allows them to track those who are implanted with it anywhere on the planet. It should be comforting to military personnel to know they have been receiving their orders all through their lives from the same government. I often wonder what the individuals behind the New World Order want. They have had control of earth all through history. They control the money, they control the minds of the unaware. Control is the recurring agenda here. All the evidence c****ined concludes that they want total control of the collective mind, which is what God is. These times are very trying. The world is in turmoil and it is all by design, Entropy does not happen unless someone has been degraded. And it all started in Eden. It is dangerous to sail the seas rudderless because you are forced to go where ever the wind blows you

The Fluoride Deception: An Interview with Christopher Bryson 
In this video, award-winning journalist Christopher Bryson examines "one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era; how a grim workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant of the cold war was added to our drinking water and toothpaste."

That pollutant is fluoride. In this video, Bryson explains the findings of his highly-praised book, The Fluoride Deception.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, "After reading Bryson's account of our national infatuation with fluoride, it's hard not to wonder how we could have ignored so serious an issue for so long."
