An interesting article. While liberals use such research to excuse wrong behavior (when they are not calling evil as good) and present themselves as The Solution (how brain plasticity relates to becomes a liberal is not discussed), yet there is a basis for traits being passed on.

Scripture warns of "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." (Exodus 34:7) I take this to mean that as a certain negative characteristics are often passed on from bad parenting, and conversely good characteristics are usually passed on from sound parenting.

However, this does not mean one is locked into negative characteristics and are excusable, and by God's grace such can find redemption, deliverance and overcoming.

Another aspect of this research is how it effects the argument that the brains of homosexuals are different, and thus they are said to have no choice but to act them out.

However, consistent with Brain and behavioural plasticity research this (if real) can be result of nurture and personal choices.

How can this be? They only included boys and girls in this study. If they included the other 70+ genders it would get very complicated. //sarc off//

The human brain does not fully develop until about age 25 when the pre frontal cortex or analytical thinking is done. Some people never develop this area.

Quite honestly, this article is hogwash as it does not consider the progressively increasing frequencies of consciousness during development.

There are several important factors in brain development.

1. “Emotional Attachment and Bonding” with the mother is necessary for stability in the child and psychological stability later in life.

2. Childhood experiences form perceptual programming events that formulate and influence perception of reality throughout life.

3. The balance of left brain masculine logical thought processing vs. Right brain feminine emotional thought processing is imbalanced during the first trimester of fetal development when the neural tube and hypothalamus is developing in the womb, based upon the experiences of the mother during this development process.

The process used in the article’s research is not scientific. It is at best a survey.

Correlations are not pure science.

Just a few hours ago I worked with a 71 yr old female executive. She had a specific interaction with another female that locked up her muscles in her back and made her very emotional. This was totally out of the norm for her very logical intelligent decision making demeanor.

It took me 2 minutes to identify the perceptual programming event in her childhood and another 5 minutes to totally heal the emotional wound permanently.

The stored memories of a person’s life experiences since conception are physical to my perception. I walked away from her about 12 feet and reached out and took hold of the physical memory and explained that it was caused by her mother’s emotional trauma when she was 3 yrs old when her grandmother died. She then confirmed my statement that was not mentioned previously.

When I took hold of the stored memory in her soul and pulled on it, she became uncontrollably emotional and came towards me as though I had a rope tied to her. I asked her to forgive her mother and herself, and she shifted backwards like the rope broke, allowing me to lift the emotional trauma from her soul. Forgiveness detaches us from the emotional trauma.

Totally healed from beginning to end in less than 10 minutes. We tested it by having her think of the woman that she encountered that triggered the extreme emotion.. totally gone.

I guess i have heard stranger things. How did you take "hold of the stored memory in her soul and pulled on it, "

You’re the hero in every story, aren’t you?

Why haven’t you gone to Washington yet and told President Trump how to solve the world’s problems?

Consciousness itself is physical to my perception ever since my death experience that suppressed my GABA inhibitory neurons, thus allowing the action potential firing rate of my pyramidal neurons to go high in the gamma frequency changing my perception of reality.

Pyramidal neurons are the transmitters and receiver’s in the brain, interfacing consciousness with the physical neurons. They exist in the cortex with the largest in layer 5 and in the hippocampus and the amygdala.

You are dealing with the demonic by claiming you have power like that.

You need to repent of what you are doing and turn to God, for your own sake.

“There is a connection between touch, the skin and brain development. Tactile stimulation by caregivers, and even expectant mothers rubbing their abdomens, aids brain development. The caregiver’s behaviour is transferred to the child epigenetically and affects the lifelong health of the infant via later stress reactivity. The trajectory is set very early on....”

This made me feel a whole lot better as a mom. I was never a touchy person until I had kids. I kissed and cuddled my babies, snuggled with my littles and still hug or put my hands on the arms and backs of my teens when I talk to them.

Our oldest was an interesting baby. He was quiet and didn’t really snuggle in to me. My sister in law noticed and told me that some babies don’t like a lot of touch and maybe I should just let him be. I smiled but thought ,”he’s my baby, I’m going to keep kissing and cuddling him.” He grew to love snuggling and by the age of one we had to rock him to sleep. As he got older we noticed some quirks that perhaps were mildly in the autism spectrum. We were pretty firm with him about normal vs weird mannerisms and he ended up a captain of the football and wrestling teams and does well socially. To this day he is our hugger and is really good with people. I sometimes wonder if his life would have been different had I taken my sister in law’s advice. I may be full of self doubt, but I always lived on my kiddos.

It’s not power. It is weakness.

When I died I was no longer attached to the frequency of this reality. That is what Jesus spoke of in dying daily.

When you are weak in self, you have room for higher consciousness to work through you. When you are full of yourself there is no room for it. It’s described accurately in the Bible.

Were there complications in your life during the 3rd month of pregnancy with your oldest son?

That would be interesting to research.

I hugged and kissed my kids a LOT as I never had much of it as a child myself.

My mom was raised by a very abusive father and she was not affectionate with us so I determined that it would be different with my kids.

My oldest is also diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

She’s brilliant, but socially awkward and in many respects socially immature. But a very sweet person and dos not have a malicious bone in her body.

When you *died* some demonic something convinced you it was God and you are being deceived by dabbling in demonic, unChristian stuff.

Your use of Scripture doe snot support your claims and the powers you claim you have are not Scriptural.

Bowlby & Ainsworth both researched emotional bonding and attachment in child development. The impact of their research is far more important than they are given credit for.

You are correct in your observations. It’s why I mentioned it in the numerical list above.
