If a soul like Saint Faustina’s or famous stigmatists like Padre Pio and Saint Catherine of Siena, take this kind of advice to heart, and spend untold hours contemplating Christ’s crucifixion, and especially if they were already gifted intuitives, might this explain how they acquired their stigmata? After all, Christ’s passion is recorded in the akashic records, and a truly gifted intuitive can likely experience that suffering directly if they choose to. Is there anything of profit to be gained from contemplating Christ’s crucifixion in this manner?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers209 views0 answers0 votesSaint Francis of Assisi was said to have acquired his stigmata following the vision of an angel. Can Creator share with us if the two events are related, and how it was that Saint Francis came to acquire the stigmata?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers203 views0 answers0 votesOnce, Father Sopocko asked Saint Faustina to pray for him. She wrote in her diary, “I asked the Lord Jesus to deign to bestow on me all the sufferings and afflictions, both exterior and spiritual, that the priest had to suffer during that day. God partially answered my request and, at once, all sorts of difficulties and adversities sprang up out of nowhere … But that was not all; I began to experience interior sufferings. First, I was seized by depression and aversion towards the sisters, then a kind of uncertainty began to trouble me. … When, tired out, I entered the chapel, a strange pain seized my soul, and I began to weep softly. Then I heard in my soul a voice saying, ‘My daughter, why are you weeping? After all, you yourself offered to undertake these sufferings.'” Father Sopocko wrote in his memoirs, “It was only that critical day that I asked Sister Faustina for prayer. To my great surprise, all my troubles vanished into thin air on that very day.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers176 views0 answers0 votesA rumor heard from a government insider suggested a reason that the United States covertly dropped more than two million tons of bombs on Laos during the Vietnam War was, in his words, “the Bodhi.” In other words, Buddhist monks and contemplatives. One is also struck with the determination of China to end the theocracy of Tibet and send the Dali Lama fleeing to India. Is there a war on contemplatives?

The author, Matt McCormick, wrote, “The physical structures of the brain are causally responsible for consciousness and its capacities. A neuroscientist examining scans of a stroke victim’s brain can now predict, sometimes with remarkable accuracy (down to the millimeter), exactly what sorts of cognitive, conceptual, emotional, or psychological problems that the patient will experience as a result of his or her brain damage. The connection is too great, too pervasive, too immediate, and too strong to be ignored. The physical foundations of mental functions shows that the alleged separation of mind from brain posited by the dualistic survival hypothesis … will not occur.” What can Creator tell us about this skeptic’s conclusion?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs245 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote this in his contribution to the collection titled Dead as a Doornail: “While most of us would acknowledge some connection between mental function and the brain, we may have failed to see just how deep the connection runs. 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs248 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs261 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs219 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs252 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs236 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?
