Sounds like new age occultism to me. Who knows, maybe it’s complete with the Toronto blessing. 👎 I think it’s demonic.

People like you said the earth was flat, that flying in the air was demonic, anti science all the way.

I am a scientist who understands science as the process of learning how God works. Miracles exist, but they are merely science that people don’t understand.

People said that flying was demonic when they didn’t understand aeronautics.

I’m merely stating that what Jesus did and taught is scientific if you take a moment to learn the science supporting it. This does not discount Him in any way. In fact the complete opposite is true.

Even Jesus stated that the things that He does and even more you too shall do in His name. You worship Him rather than communing and becoming one with Him. Are you refuting the same scripture you profess to follow.

“Just like Christine Crazy Ford testified”

No. She was an emotional, irrational nut.

People who lack the intelligence to understand their environment embrace fear of it.

Religion(s) are merely theories and philosophies of the anatomy and physiology of the human soul and how it interacts with its environment. For the most part, they are correct. They purposely left out higher understanding to protect people and others from themselves. Knowledge is more power than you can imagine. Anyone with the ability to heal, also has the ability to kill, just as Jesus did the fig tree.

As long as you remain judgemental and fear others ideas, you block yourself from learning more knowledge.

“You a Scientologist?”

No. I actually presented at an academic conference with Hubbard’s closest aid who spent 14 years with him in France, hiding in NYC, and on his yacht. I have studied his internal workings and classify him as a cult.

“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.

Well, tactile expression was not part of the Irish culture of my good honest and honorable parents (of 5 kids), whom I never even saw hug each other, but it is so with the Latino culture that i am in the midst of, which is good.

My apologies as I used the word “you” when I meant to say “people” in a general sense.

"I am a scientist who...."

I thought you were a CPA (according to your other posts)? What's your science-related degree? Just curious.

The cultural differences regarding touch are incredible, aren’t they? My mom purposed to hug us because her parents (of Norwegian descent) didn’t much. I remember my grandpa working up the courage to pat me on the shoulder and tell me he was proud of me. That was a huge open display of affection for him.

I always thought it was just Scandinavians who were like that.

While I maintain my CPA license, I am retired. Was a tax law professor for years. Also a CMA, CIA, CTP, but never use them.

After the death experience I got a degree in psychology, which was really a joke it was so easy, and then went on to study neuroscience. Although retired, I still perform research and maintain my status as a perpetual student as long as I can. I enjoy the academic environment and learning.

I especially enjoy medical research and attend grand rounds and neuroscience lectures and symposiums at the med school regularly. To stay current, I attend the American Psychiatric Ass’n annual conferences every year and many clinical conferences.

The anatomy & physiology of the human body and consciousness are far more interesting and more stimulating to the brain than boring tax law. Life is a puzzle and I enjoy enjoy working to solve it. It’s very humbling as each answer yields 20 more unanswered questions.

I’ve rarely seen anyone on FR display the kind of arrogance, condescension, and judgmentalism that you do, or who can spin such a tall tale as you do.

I’ve never met anyone as perfect as you and so I don’t believe any of it.

That’s ok... I’m old enough that my identity does not depend upon what others think of me.

I share here to help others and to learn from the very intelligent Freepers who participate in discussions. If you don’t believe what I say, don’t read it. Calling everyone who disagrees with you demonic sounds like a Democrat emotional response.

I enjoy intellectual discussion with other people who seek greater understanding.

Why waste all your energy attacking me if you dislike me?

I hold no offense. Prayers headed your direction.

If you feel so strong against me, pray for me. The more the better. Pray that I gain better understanding. I welcome prayers.

Once again, science "discovers" what has long ago been written.

But you do not have an advanced psychology/psychiatry degree and license to practice psychological treatments as you describe in your post #7?

He is a nutcase, alright. Wonder what formed all those weird ideas and fantastic “abilities” in HIS life. What he is describing, if true, which I doubt, while some of it is valid (the need to forgive), it’s wrapped up in what sounds more like demonic forces.
