Even the most abstract mental faculties—and the most specific features and contents of our private mental states—can be mapped directly onto brain functions. … People who suffer from Anton-Babinski syndrome are cortically blind, but they don’t believe they’re blind or consciously blind. They will adamantly insist they can see even in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, dismissing their inability to perform visual tasks by confabulating explanations for their poor performance. … The syndrome results from a specific sort of damage to the occipital lobe of the brain.” Is this wholly a result of brain damage, as the skeptics assert, or is this a clue about the underlying origins and actions of consciousness? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs243 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Capgras syndrome results from lesions in the occipital, temporal, and frontal lobes of the brain. Afflicted patients have the powerful sense that someone they know, particularly a loved one, has been replaced by an imposter. Vilayanur Ramachandran postulates that the problem arises from a failure of the temporal regions responsible for face recognition to communicate with the limbic system regions responsible for emotional responses.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs240 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Cotard’s syndrome, or the delusional belief that you are dead, that you don’t exist, or that you have lost your organs or blood, results from damage to the channels of interaction between the fusiform face area and the limbic system.” What can Creator tell us about this? Are the researchers over-attributing causality to the brain damage alone? Would the same symptoms and delusions inevitably result in any person that suffered similar brain damage?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs215 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Research shows remarkable relationships between brain tumors and brain chemistry, on the one hand, and bizarre thoughts or behaviors, on the other. In one patient the onset of hypersexuality, obsession with pornography, and pedophilia paralleled the growth of a tumor in his right orbitofrontal lobe. When the tumor was removed, his urges lapsed. When the tumor grew back, his pedophilia returned.” What can Creator tell us about this tumor-to-behavior relationship?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs245 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Patients with no history of gambling find themselves overwhelmed with the urge to gamble when their dosages (of Parkinson’s drug pramipexole) cross a particular threshold, sometimes leading them to gamble away their life savings. But when the dosage is reduced, the urge vanishes.” Can Creator tell us what is REALLY going on here?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs231 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Even something as common as the effects of a cup of espresso show that those elements of consciousness alleged to survive biological death depend directly upon the brain.” This seems like missing the forest for the trees. Stimulus effects are conditions that arouse the “decision-maker” within, but they do not decide for her or him! Otherwise, it would be impossible to resist ANYTHING. And life calls for a great deal of discerning resistance! Is it safe to say that DECISION is a spiritual function, not a biological function? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs217 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Even rats are responsive to the pain of others, refusing to eat when their eating inflicts electric shocks on other rats.” He used this to argue that even morality is a product of evolution. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs257 views0 answers0 votesAtheist evolutionists have a tendency to showcase theory as fact. Matt McCormick wrote, “(Experts)… have now converged on the view that evolution favored hyperactive agency detection devices (HADD). The basic idea is there is survival benefit to detecting or attributing agency or intentionality to many things in our environment. ‘It is better to mistake a boulder for a bear, than a bear for a boulder.’ Mistaking too many things as conscious agents is a helpful error since detecting too few of them can be deadly.” McCormick speculates that this is why we are so quick to believe in brainless consciousness. We can’t help it. McCormick writes, “The prevailing view is that seeing manifestations of God’s conscious will, desires, and goals in the world is a byproduct of HADD.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs243 views0 answers0 votesThe secular headwinds are strong, and appear to be growing stronger. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can turn this trend around, in time to save humanity from the encroaching darkness?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs274 views0 answers0 votesCan Deep Subconscious Channeling with Trauma Resolution be carried out without interference from any ongoing drug treatment, including anti-psychotics, or heavy sedation?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Subconscious Channeling202 views0 answers0 votesPsychic mediums typically receive intuitive impressions of imagery, and sometimes words, like names, that help confirm a particular individual’s spirit is being reached, but not actual conversations. This requires translating the impressions into an accurate meaning and, inevitably, can introduce error. What keeps beings in the light from communicating to mediums more clearly and directly using detailed and specific language? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits225 views0 answers0 votesMediums relaying communications from people’s loved ones in the light provide bits and pieces, more like hints and clues about their identity or a particular message they want to come through. In most cases, it is a gesture of love, or a reassurance about something the family members in the living are struggling with, like guilt they didn’t do more to help the departed. Are there rules of engagement for light beings in what they are allowed to convey to those still in the living? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits207 views0 answers0 votesFor all of these mediums, one of the primary services they perform is helping those still living to heal. So many grieving people are consumed with worry about whether the departed are okay and not suffering. But for one-third of the departed, they in fact are not okay and are indeed suffering. Is this sometimes being picked up by their relatives, that their loved one REALLY is in trouble? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits211 views0 answers0 votesWhen their loved one does eventually make it to the light, many still continue worrying, and this is where the mediums truly perform a valuable service, in letting them know that their loved one is “at peace” and happy. Why do some people need a medium to tell them this? Is there a kind of grieving “cellular memory” that keeps looping in them? What can Creator tell us about the suffering of mourners?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits205 views0 answers0 votesMy client suffers from lower back arthritis and had surgery in 2012. But his back remains stiff and pain flared up again during a trip. He visualized the glowing filament of a light and saw it become part of his spine, and repeated the imagery exercise for several days and the pain went away. He says if he doesn’t do it for a couple weeks, the pain always returns. What is happening here?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing264 views0 answers0 votes
