      From: CHESSRL2002@YAHOO.COM              Hello Doris,              Don't worry about Sam, his bark is much worse than his bite. I do know       him. Sam isn't his actual name. It is the name of a mutual friend we       both played basketball with. He is a light skinned black with very       attractive blond wife. Very assimilated in real life. But when he gets       mad, HE GETS MAD! Know what I mean?              The essay, I'll print below. If it fits that is. Sometimes when I see,       psychic seeing, I can see these two mind links inside Mankind. I know,       weird...huh? Just humor me for while with an open mind. Later, once you       heard me out, given some thought to what I said, close it again if you       want. But give me just a moment with your mind without any judgement on       your part.              I just saw Brain Greene's wonderful show on String Theory. The people       involved in the research, notice how they smile and often joke, their       minds reminds of the type of personality I pick up on from God. I       suspect on some level of their minds, they're linked in more strongly       than ordinary people. Their perspective on nature seems to come from a       higher state. I suspect they also derive their sense of beauty in nature       from it. And possibily are the contributing minds to building it, into       these composite minds. And I think they're more happy people. Almost       incapable of hate.              When I watched the show covering spatial dimensions I found it specially       interesting. The way any space dimension can be build, and from what,       will have to tackled someday. How anything can be continuous in state of       being is another one. But sometimes I get weird impressions in my mind.       Like one state, if you can call it even a dimension, at the bottom of       all spatial divisions, where everything is still connnected as one.       Where principle rules before laws, where laws are derived from. Nothing       separate from anything else, in the usual sense. Floating upon       nothingness like a boat in ocean. With a hull of metaphysical principles       keeping it from sinking back into nothingness. But like I said,       impressions. I can touch the wall sometimes, but never tried pushing on       it.              Wandered didn't I. OK, lets get back to what you wanted. Only got a few       minutes left here anyway. Group thinking can blind us to others. Like a       man in love with his wife in the beginning. Have you ever see the photos       of the German masses practically worshipping their soldiers marching       pass them in the street? Their saw what those soldiers represented in       their emotional lives, but do you think they saw the misery of the lives       they would ruin? They were blinded to that.              What would have happened if the pictures of all the dying faces of their       future victims were broadcast over the head of Hitler as he addressed       them? Ever wonder?                     ----------------------------------------------------------------       ----------------------------------------------------------------       -----------------------------               SATAN'S KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF        ___________________________________________               So Jesus told us that Satan's kingdom suffered from the inherent       problem       of being divided against itself. How so? And what does it really mean?       If God       truly is a composite mind created from the left brains in Mankind, thus       controlling our glorious right hands[kidding], and Satan is another       composite       mind of all the right brains in Mankind, how does this cause Satan any       problems?               Which brain carries our language skills? The left brain. Language is       for       social organization and communicating with our fellow members of the       species.       So which brain would tend to have greater social skills and       intelligence? Left       brain, right? So which brain uses its hand to greet a stranger? Which       hand do we       shake hands with? Our right hand which is controlled by the left brain.       Simple.       Remember all that sinister left hand stuff?               So which brain might be better suited to house a more egotistical view       of       ourselves and the world? Right brain, why not? But the stronger we sense       ourselves in ourselves as individuals the more we might be inclined to       favor       ourselves in regards to others whenever a conflict of interests occur.               So would the right brain composite mind work as strongly together? No,       don't think so. Is this the problem Jesus was referring to? You bet.       Step back       and examine the teachings of most religions. Specially what Jesus       taught.               They never say don't look after yourself. That would be long term       suicide.       But they do say try to reach beyond your own selfish desires in just       catering to       yourself and your ego when you run into a conflict of interests with       others.       Don't Sins revolve around this theme?               The main problem with Satan's kingdom is that his people work against       each       other as well as with each other. But where did this conflict come from?       How it       expressed in our politics and wars as well with the little everyday       interactions       we have with each other?                      Let me lay a little ground work in some remote areas and finally tie       them       together with other ideas. This is all going to seem strange to you in       the       beginning, so bare with me. Scientists already today have realized that       there is       much information preprogrammed in our brains for assimilating and       shaping       outside information, social information.                             SEX PREFERENCES AND GENES        ___________________________________                      Take for example sexual preference, just recently they discovered that       a       very small clump of cells in our brains which determines our sexual       orientation.       All brains are born female, but usually for normal male brains, in the       first 24       hours a hormone is released making a certain clump of cells grow. If       the cells       do grow the brain will be male oriented, making it seek out the female       form.       Vice-versa is also true.        But all this also means that the visual clues in our brains for       female/male traits also are preprogrammed in us. Unlike most lower       animals, we       rely much more on visual clues than smell. So there must be information       already       hardwired in our brains just to read the visual clues of the opposite       sex. This       also is supported by the obvious fact that we don't have to be told as       to what       the visual clues of a person's physical appearance means. I like women,       but       never attended a class to learn how.        There are visual clues for youth, meaning health and others telling us       of       old age, weakness and unsuitability for child bearing any more. None of       which we       have to go to school to learn. I even think that there is a good chance       who we       like to look at, who we find attractive, might depend a lot on our own       gene       makeup. If we have good genes and sense just as good and of the same       type in the       opposite sex, we might be driven to want to have sex with them. Like       craving       like. And since we all have our share of weak genes as well, we might       sense our       gene opposites which can improve on our offspring. So a type of liking       your       opposite is another flavor of craving.              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
