Let’s keep in mind that not all that long ago, people who had epilepsy were thought to be “demon possessed” as were people who had dementia, people were autistic or had Downs Syndrome or were suffering from schizophrenia. And not one of them were ever cured by exorcism but many were abused, tortured or even killed in an attempt to exorcise their demons. So by all means let’s go back to that. Let’s also throw widowed women should one of their neighbor’s cows die into a lake and if they drown, they are innocent and if they don’t, burn them at the stake as witches.
In today’s scientific medical research, even hard science such as genetics is viewed as not so hard and having epigenetic influences.
Human consciousness is the greatest epigenetic influence upon the biochemistry of the human body. It’s how the placebo effect works, which is used as a control to test all medicine’s efficacy.
Science has not even addressed the question of what happens to human perception of reality when the action potential firing rates in the cerebral cortex move up into the gamma frequencies. That’s what happens with intense prayer and meditation.
I’ve been studying the controlling influence of the GABAergic basket and chandelier neurons upon the pyramidal cells firing rate which determines the operating frequency of consciousness impacting working memory and consciousness.
Atrophy of the dendrites on the pyramidal cells is being considered as the cause of schizophrenia in current research.
Consciousness frequency studies open the door to a whole new perception of reality. It’s how the mystics do what they do.
