Charlie, I studied all those books of the dead as a small child working in my elementary school library for 5 yrs. Even today, I always catch myself saying "heart lighter than a feather......" over and over, all the time. LOL.
I'm in total agreement, as to what an awesomely fascinating tool the human brain is. And I still teeter on that visible/invisible world thing.
For me it seems, that words and translations have been misconstrued so, that it's hard to tell if you are learning applicable knowledge(truth) or being indoctrinated.
I have been attempting to break the veil of superstitions vs reality. I find, much like art, it can be subjective.
After reading your reply, I proceeded to some videos I like to undertake, looking for the reality among the fairy tales.
It seems I get little pieces of the puzzles, over time. It's kinda like a fruit-of-the-month club, but more like the aha-moments-of-life club.
I can buy into the scientifics of electricity, sounds, harmonics, and vibrations. I've long marveled at the miracle that can cause "dirt to bleed".
Being that if we are merely only animals, made from the same dirt of earth and stardust of the cosmos, then it only makes sense that the electromagnetism that affects all of all of the universes, our planet, and animals, would surely have to also affect us humans.
If we are utilizing a tool of nothing more than electrical and chemical exchanges, then those charges would indeed have effects beyond the skull, (no?), and electrical magnetic happenings all around the universes would affect us.
I think on some quantum levels, connections get made. We may think it to be and/or call it "magic", "esp", "spiritualism", etc...... when it could be a matter of ignorance or misunderstanding, as to what is the true operating factor behind it all. I do feel it's important to know and act upon truths, and to operate in reality of truths, than just leave the mind to believe (or be held prisoner by) superstitions.
I do believe it was Echolls that may have coined the phrase, "The primary function of the brain, (besides it's many sub-systems and functions), the basic, fundamental function of the brain of all animals, is to keep stress at reduced and acceptable levels(for the entity it inhabits)". Taken from the book, Bring Em Back Alive, by Buck someone, "Animals do not go insane, do not needlessly murder, do not commit suicide" (I do feel some animals are advancing to this trait, a learned cosmic consciousness?) Animals operate strictly/mostly on instinct. Man is the only animal able to pick and choose his stresses. We have taken it waaayyyyyy beyond simple shelter, food, clothing neccessaties. We have taken it to a level of...... well lordy, just look around........
Man is stressed to the max, so much so, he can not even sleep at night. Thus, in the attempt to "alleviate the stresses" look at what we have wrought and bought in to. That's another story.........
So, if we are basically animals, impacted by and existing in a "perceived" world, that in reality is nothing more than electrical exchanges, are we not able to tap that "electromagnetism", for what we now currently call "psychic ability"?
It may be pure science that somehow got spun and misunderstood.
I came to this video last night, that seemed to attempt to try and explain some of this. It seemed to make sense. I'm not saying I agree with everything this fella says, he too, is uncertain about some things. We are all on a learning journey. So I found it interesting and if you want to see it, go to youtube and search:
Bill Donahue Electric Sky, Brain, and You.
It ties in with a theory a brainiac friend at my near death forums has been trying to prove for decades about a "morphic universe". much like the holographic universe theory. I don't put up a direct link, it could seem to be deemed proselytizing, which is not my intent. It is to share knowledge and ideas, for better learning and understandings.
I am of the Jiddu Krishnamurti schooling and one of my favorite sayings of his is this:
We are not here to indoctrinate.
Learning comes from being given or shown a truth, then learning or discovering, by application, that the teaching or message is sound and of use and benefit. People indoctrinate to control. People teach so that others may learn and discover for themselves, truth.
So, if you watch the electric sky video, you may appreciate that today, I saw for the first time the MOVA Globe. They are pretty cool!
To listen to the inventor explain his thought process, I am left with the thought, that original thought, may be the/a big bang.
Again, my apologies to the op. Hope somewhere, there's something in some of this cat dribble, helps ya'll discover some truth for ya'll.
