This will be short and sweet. There have already being experiments conducted by reputable physicists which seem to indicate statistical evidence that some people can influence random number generators in computers or even the roll of dice. If true, does that mean anything beyond simple telekinesis? You bet, and I can’t believe how they missed this. If a mind can do these things and it seems some can. What does this really mean? Deep down? Does our brain go out on some mysterious plane and start to calculate the forces needed to control the roll of the dice? Does a brain start calculating small impacts of the side of a die to influence its roll? I doubt it works that way. Kind of hard, don’t you agree? Is there another way? If so, what way? Yes! Suppose another level of information. An invisible layer of information. A spiritual layer. What if there is a way of organizing information from top to down. Quite the opposite way of a deterministic reality. Suppose the bottom to top direction of organizing physical influences is in the physical world. Now imagine the spiritual world doing it in an opposite direction. From purpose to the needed effects to carry them out. From mind to matter. Brain to soul leading to perception. Soul to brain leading to feedback. Where spiritual laws have higher priority and work their way down to influence natural laws to make sure desired outcomes come true, if able. Magic of a sorts or a new science where metaphysical reality works its way down to effect physical laws with intended affects? And there are laws beyond the physical laws of nature. Always in the background, invisible, save in what happens to happen. So if a soul wants to influence a roll of dice and it wants a six, the needed calculations of forces are done second, not first. And ordinary natural laws are influenced by will. If these experiments are valid it means more than simple mind control, it also means a whole new way of organizing information. With purpose entering the picture again. It is a way for mind and soul to influence evolution by influencing supposed random mutations. This means there is a way to organize the changes in life. And the overall complexity of a biological organism might actually be contained in this invisible realm of reality. More like where math might exist. The DNA embedded information simply triggers the information. And the sheer overall complexity of life is far greater than anything we supposed before. It also means spiritual purpose plays a paramount role in our lives. It also means Jung’s theories about meaningful accidents were quite right. This is where will influences brain matter. Where soul and brain connect. This connection between soul and matter is broken with death. When the chains to our souls are broken. This is where the interaction between will and matter takes place in choice, where good and evil choices are decided. Lower animals have their perceptions regulated by the laws of nature. We begin to effect the matter. We have choice. They do not. We sin, they do not. We are asked after death, how much we loved. They are just sent back without questions. It is here where Jesus’s soul went with the help of the Father to work his miracles. Let us take the case of Lazarus. That is a lot to swallow. For most atheists far too much, even for some believers. Now time to mind play. Suppose Jesus actually did raise a dead man called Lazarus. How did he do it? If he did? He wasn’t a doctor. He didn’t have advanced medical knowledge. Assuming he was mostly a man with a special purpose and God backing him, how? But if he could influence metaphysical laws with his own Will and God’s power backing him, bending existing natural physical laws to make sure certain desired outcomes became true then he could have. If Jesus could do all that and this was his secret, could you imagine him saying to you, "All these things I do, you can do as well, and more." But we still no evidence for metaphysical laws existing and supplanting natural physical laws, much less bending them under Will. Right? Wrong! Yes yes there is the small stuff with quantum effects. You can make a small case there. But what about big! REAL BIG! Another point too many overlook and right under our modern noses. Dannion Brinkley again[read SPACE from main menu]. He supposedly died for twenty-eight minutes. Recorded by doctors. Let us assume they knew how to keep time. Now lets cut the story some slack. Shave off a minute…27 minutes. Shave off a third….18 minutes. Lets play it safe…another 9…leaving 9. Nine minutes. What happens to human brain cells after nine minutes of oxygen starvation? Even after 3 or 4 minutes? They die. And die fast especially if you’re not frozen. He wasn’t, if he were, different case. Okay, nine minutes…even if by a miracle you brought him back what would you have left? A brain dead super stupid man! According to all modern science. Now add another nine minutes back to make sure. Assume his brain had no blood circulation for 18 minutes. Then what? Major retardation should have occurred, but it didn’t? Why? If his story about been send back by spiritual beings is true then why send back a retard too dumb to relay his message of love and warnings about a possible bleak future? Self-defeating right? They must of corrected his brain damage and how do you do that without physical bodies? You have to have had influenced the natural laws governing his brain cells to direct themselves to correct the damage. Without hands or physical tools you have to use spiritual laws, which can only be metaphysical laws directing and bending natural laws to achieve intended physical states. By WILL. Jesus’s miracle of yesterday with Lazarus in a small way is walking around today and going on talk shows and most people never noticed. Now you answer me a question. His case is well known and all the usual debunkers have avoided him. Why? He is an obvious big target for any debunker so why not take his ass down and destroy his creditably and claim it is for the public good? Make a name for yourself. Make money. Now if I were a debunker I know what I would do. If I thought all this shit was truly impossible and I made good money from the talk circuit making fools of believers. But of course, one disastrous public mistake and it would be curtains for my revenue as well. So I must pick my frauds carefully, like a house thief with a break in. But so many to pick from! So many people making a fast dollar off people’s hope. So many frauds to pick from. So why pick one who died in a hospital? Can I disprove he was dead? No. Can I disprove he wasn’t dead for 28 minutes? No. Can I explain no brain damage? No. Can I explain how a man comes back to life after being declared dead and tagged for cold storage? No. Do I go after him? NOOOOOOOOO! Picture it. Really picture it. Pretend you’re there in the hospital. The time…well it is no longer lets jab his heart and try to revive his heart time. Heart stopped oh 5 minutes ago. Small later, it is no longer lets shock his heart back to beating time…it stopped oh 15 minutes ago. It is no longer we must do anything time…it is 20 minutes later and his toe has a name tag on it. Instead it is how do we break the bad news to his wife time…and his body has a white blanket covering it. Now it is lets wheel him down to the little ice box which all hospitals have for their dearly departed ex-bill payers time. It is 28 minutes after this guy’s heart stopped. It is 28 minutes since his brain stopped circulating blood sending oxygen to it. When is the last time anyone has been brought back from such a time if not frozen? Never. How does a heart start again after that time? By itself, with no outside intervention? How does a brain avoid serve brain damage without oxygen for twenty-eight minutes? It happened, but it shouldn’t have happened according to what we know or think we know. The funniest part is that this guy who came back to life said he was send back by spiritual beings with a message for all Mankind. And the timing of when he dreamed he was to come back was exactly 28 minutes after death. When you shouldn’t have been able to come back. They even warned him he had to go back right then. And where was his body? They were just about to put his body into the freezer. And if he had woken there, he just would have died again. Great timing for just a dream, wouldn’t you say? Five minutes is five minutes. Hmm, could be. Ten is outer limits. Hmm, get out. Fifteen, no way. Twenty is plain nuts. Twenty-eight is a little like Lazarus. The impossible happened. So if I was a debunder I wouldn’t want to debunk my debunking by going after this guy? Hell NO! Fuck the public good I like my money better. Awww, I thought I was better than my targets. Guess not! And where is this modern Lazarus today? If he isn’t on a talk show or giving speeches he is usually with dying patients. Now another aspect of what happened to him to think about. He was a professional killer in Viet Nam and he admits he loved his job. He used to be a high school bully with lots of fights under his belt. He admits to having beaten people for the sheer pleasure of it. Did he worry about his behavior? No. You see as far as he was concerned, religion was for fools, there wasn’t any God or afterlife to worry about. And he didn’t have any doubt about it. So he was bad and liked it. Until he died. Then he changed. But suppose he was faking it. Let us suppose he is lying about his experience. Forget we can’t explain his return to life after 28 minutes of being dead. Now how would you behave if you thought you knew there wasn’t any afterlife and you were told by doctors your heart is still weak, and you probability will not make it to old age? And you made a lot of money by duping fools. Now you know money isn’t any good after you’re dead. You can’t take it with you. And you know there isn’t any afterlife because you experienced the great blackness after. What do you do if you believed this. Especially if you just confirmed that your old idea of getting as much as you can, for yourself when you can, is the only way to live because it is the only time you can. How would you live? Once you had a lot of money and little time left and you’re still selfish? That is right, you indulge yourself while you can. You don’t break character when you know you’re right. But what does he do? Where does he spent most of his time? Know where? I do! With dying and old patients whose families don’t even come to see. You see, you can find him holding the hand of an old woman maybe in her late nineties, who is entirely alone, in pain and waiting to die. Holding a hand many would try to get away from. But he can’t hold enough of them. That is how this former proud atheistic killer is wasting his last few precious years on this planet. But he doesn’t think he is wasting his time. Because he is not, he knows what lies ahead for all of us. And he has learned what is truly important in life only by being dead and discovering there is only life after death. The first part of his impossible miracle was coming back to life after an impossible 28 minutes of being flat dead. The second part was being changed from a selfish man to a good one. If all you saw was darkness would that change you? No, he saw life after death and that did it to him. But his most revealing line with which I agree with is this. “We are not human beings trying to have spiritual experiences, but rather spiritual beings, trying to have human experiences.” That should tell you what you are deep down inside Something some of us know already, don’t we Sarah? Keep painting more musical blue trees.
