      From: CHESSRL2002@YAHOO.COM              This is less messy to read. Printing it out is the best to read it.              RobertLauzeckas wrote:               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.               Many states of being, many many many universes. With a process of       creation       which never stoped working. Its pure, so pure, I suspect that the first       time it       didn't need Anything to begin with. Creation even might have more than       one       way of working. And what allows the property of existence of anything?       Does changing somehow expand existence of what is? Does the ability to       exist require stuff, or it is, somehow underneath anything it attaches       itself to, except, perhaps, for itself?               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.               They have to study how seeing groups in our minds, makes it easier to       attach attributes to it, many times outweighting the perceptual       influence       of any one member inside it. So for a bigoted mind. Even if they can be       friendly to indvidual peope within the group, they still can on another       level hate that group. And everyday interactions of people in the street       can easily hide the simmering hatred underneath the surface.               But to someone like Hitler, he had a gift to tap into grouphate and       mold       it to suit his purpose. Which in away, I think, came from outside him.       He was on a mission, bigger than himself. And I think the masses who       followed him, sensed it in him. Becoming throught him, bigger than       their individual lives. That might be why he seemed so great to so       many. Many of his followers had no problems dying for him. Not unlike       soldiers ants willing to die for the good of the colony.                      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        ___________________________________                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
