where you are induced from youth into religious truths.


Like pests in the nest, but you’re too young to test.

If brainwashing isn’t real, then how do you explain where you can talk a person into giving up his life, man’s strongest “will,” in trade for gaining an unproven glorious afterlife


Yep.

I work with people to assist them in healing similar physical pains.

I had a woman in her 60’s come to me and ask for help as she was going in for double knee replacement surgery in 3 days. I explained that I had no idea if I could help, but let’s give it a try.

I had her stand up, close her eyes and think if her knees. I walked back 15 feet from her, held the palms of my hands toward her, and began walking toward her.

A few feet in my hands hit a memory stored in her soul that was anchored in her knees. As I pushed on the memory stored in her soul 12 ft from her physical body, it pushed her backwards.

I asked her what happened that damaged her knees when she was about 17 years old?

She replied that when she was a senior in high school, back in the 1970’s, she had a bike accident with a few stitches in her knee, but it was minor. I explained that this memory had intense negative emotion attached to it.

She explained that when she came home from the hospital when she got the stitches, she immediately called her boyfriend. His mother answered the phone and said that she couldn’t talk to him.

When she inquired why, his mother replied, “Because he is dead!” He died that morning of a drug overdose.

She went into shock.

Due to the proximity of the emotional trauma to her knee injury, the traumatic memory was anchored in her knees. The defense mechanisms in her physical body contracted the muscles and tendons around the anchor point in both knees to block the oainful emotional memory retrieval. After 40 years, the contractions had pushed all synovial fluid from her knees and the bone to bone friction destroyed both knees .

I removed the negative emotion attached to the traumatic memory in her soul causing a change in her subconscious programming which facilitated an immediate relaxation if the muscles and tendons around the knees.

Her surgeon stated that it was his most successful replacement surgery ever. After the surgery she sat on her bed with her knees dropped down at a 90 degree angle. She was walking unassisted in a week and driving shortly thereafter.

Removing the emotional memory decreased the muscle tension which made surgery easier and increased vascular blood flow, accelerating healing.

At three weeks she walked up my stairs to the second floor and back down unassisted.

At 3 months she was snorkeling in the Caribbean with flippers and had no discomfort.

She subsequently took up ballroom dancing and has been doing it on a regular basis for a few years now.

I share this to help people understand how physical body defense mechanisms create physical injuries such as the length of a leg to block traumatic memory retrieval. Often these traumas occured during the birth process.

All these memories are stored in a person’s soul field around their physical body and are physical to my petception.

I have found the same process causes spinal compression, bulges discs, and back pain, especially when unresolved childhood security issue memories are anchored in the peripheral nervous system in the lumbar spine.

Coming of age means you realize it’s OK that first principles are assumed.

That’s a major discussion I won’t clog the thread with.

Fer sure, don’t clog the thread, although the unexamined life is not worth living.

Dunno. Lot’s of people pillory philosophy on FR. Some of it is funny. But it’s not cool to be brainwashed. Go figure.

So if there’s no brainwashing, what really happened to the American soldiers captured by the communists in Korea?

I was a science nerd, and pre-med.

When the “expert” M.D. told me that the ONLY way to relieve the spasming and numbness in my right shoulder and arm was to pay a surgeon to SEVER my trapezius, I thought: No, I may need that rather major muscle later.

I turned to Chiropractic. I began to regain feeling and use after the very first session.

(But it was just Placebo Effect.)

No, not in and of itself. But it’s part and parcel of the brainwashing process, it’s essential.

” How did you get 17 years old out of this series of actions? “

Based upon the estimated distance I had moved toward her from her conception memories. The distance is sequential but not necessarily symmetric in time. Meaning that 1 inch or 1 foot does not necessarily represent a specific period of time.

Conception memories are stored in the human soul furthest from the physical body, then childhood, continuing to the most recent occurring memories stored in proximity to the physical body.

If you ever heard a person say that their life flashed before their eyes, it is merely that their conscious awareness is no longer restricted to their physical body and it expands outward through their stored memories in their soul. As it expands beyond their physical body through the events in reverse sequence it is the life review referred to in Hebrews 9 in the Bible.

Human souls and their contents are physical to my perception of reality. Our perception of reality is a function of the frequency of consciousness from which we view it. I merely learned to tune my frequency of consciousness and the corresponding action potential firing rates in my cerebral cortex to different frequencies.

We are souls merely experiencing life in these temporary physical bodies.

In religion(s), Sin is merely an obstacle to Love in our soul that acts as an anchor to block our consciousness from turning to higher frequencies.
