-Little Green Men-The Brain Is Extremely ComplexIt is hard to mess with the brain. Physical intrusion through needles, drills and knives, of course, produces injury to the brain. The employment of fMRI and MRI procedures may causesclaustrophobia, and the strong magnetic fields only measure change in blood oxygen levels, so even noninvasive has its problems. Studies of people with brain lesions can provide evidence, but a brain injury usually severs nerve pathways between brain centers as well interrupts the local brain function. It is like pulling a tube out of a television set and the picture goes away. The picture was not in the tube, but only passing through the tube. Face it, brains are complicated not only on how they work when doing a particular task, but also how they work when doing drugs or when the person is doing mathematics, having dreams, or when the person is being artistic or musical. Add to the complexity, is problem of consciousness. Is there a person using the brain and if so does the brain work differently when that person is more consciousness? Sometimes we feel detached, normal or deeply involved. And to make things more complex, add a layer of spirituality. A person can be completely wrapped up in the more earthy senses (sex, food, drugs), or confused with too many facts (perhaps too much Internet surfing), or feeling wicked, or guilty. This is contrast to people who feel close to God, love and goodness. Lets see if we can shed some light on this. The Saltwater Analogy If the brain is equated to water, and the consciousness is equated to salt, we can quickly understand that the salt water will act, for the most part, like water. As far as the salt is concerned, one could continue to taste the salt even if diluted. Finding the Brain Center So by testing the water (the brain) alone, we can never get very far. Brain science will not lend support for God by finding some God center. The good news is that brain science can say that there has to be some organization for the much of the brain, especially that part which is conscious. Without some type of organization, there would be wars between groups of brain cells. The number of brain cells is estimated to be perhaps a 100 million neurons, and maybe a billion synapses. Like the world with its billions of people, you have to have millions and millions of smaller businesses and families who work together to make it all work. Above this you must have a government or the whole world will be in complete chaos. So instead of looking for a brain center, we might look for a hierarchy, and try to see what kind of organization the brain has. Finding the Soul We can limit the definition of the soul, for our purposes, as the thing that experiences life. (I know there are other definitions, but doing this makes this much more clear.) So the soul is the little green man within us that sees what we see and hears what we hear. The little green man does not see directly, but watches through our eyes and brain. Everything is displayed on something like a entertainment center that simulates the outer world. The entertainment center not only produces sight and sound, it simulates the body and all its sensations. Feelings of hunger, digestion, thirst, and feelings of keyboard under our finger and everything else is simulated. The simulation is quite good and most of believe it is real. But it is only a coordinated dream. It differs from a "sleeply time dream" in that it is orchestrated (you leave your socks in your car, and you can be sure they will be there in the morning) and coordinated (you see star, and your friend also sees the same star). The Problem of Having a Little Green Man On the face of it this seems simple enough. The little green watches the internal entertainment center or physical reality simulator. But we have a problem. Inside the brain of the little green man must be another entertainment center and another little green man watching it. And inside the brain of this little green man is another green man and so on. So we end up with a infinite number of little green men. The Inner Entertainment Center and Little Green Men The experiencer, the little green man in our brain watches all this on our internal entertainment center. The eyes acting as camera send video to our internal television set. The ears acting as microphones send audio to our internal speakers. But the little green man needs all the stuff to experience the entertainment center. So there must be a little green man in the little green man. Thus we have a infinite number of little green men. One solution would be a end-less loop, or a set of parallel mirrors. But the little green men are inside larger little green men like an endless set of Russian dolls. So if we run out of room in our three dimension, we are forced to another dimension, where for every point in three dimension point, we have another point of observation. So the little green man uses the brain as part of the entertainment center, but is not in the same dimension as the entertainment center. There is only one little green, who can observe everything we experience at one time. This is not just some philosophy or science fiction, but something that is very real. After all you are one of the little green, are you not? Spiritual Communication Since we have proven that the Little Green Man exists in another dimension, and each person has a Little Green Man, we might ask why we cannot communicate in this dimension. The entertainment center points to our physical body and the physical earth. It does not point to other entertainment centers. Or does it? When we love someone and feel close enough, some people say they do not need the physical dimension to feel emphatic. Some people say they knew when someone close died or needed help. When you hold someone you love very much in your arms, you feel as one with the person. It is more than the physical touch. The Spiritual Dimension and Love If you believe in a spiritual dimension and agree that love is communicated though this dimension, then we have something very beautiful to say. Since love is God, then this spiritual dimension is actually an aspect of God. That is to say since we can feel love between someone very close though this non-physical dimension, we can say love exists in this spiritual dimension. Instead of x, y, and z coordinates, we have the coordinate of love, and wisdom. We can also say that since we as little green men are on this plane, we are part of God. The whole dimension of all consciousness is God. By the way this is what the Center of Spiritual Living says. We are all part of God, different aspects of God. The Heart Cave To be a little poetic, we can say the Little Green Man lives in his heart cave. This cave is build by being exposed to love and spirit. For the advanced soul, this chamber is build with spiritual music, meditation, prayer, faith, love, and other symbols. It houses our heart, our love which sends flowers and poems. It produces mutual meaning and understanding to the point of being at one with another. It is adorned with mystical symbols, highest emotions and the most inspirational to another.
The Left Side of the Brain Meets the Right Side Another construct is formed with the mind. Here using language, the brain tries to make sense of the mystic and fails. It sees things on a narrow pathway of logic, and cannot stand back and see many paths at the same time. It pushes onward toward a simple goal, but not the overall goal. It uses inductive reasoning to find an overall truth. Or it uses deductive reasoning, taking something usually from the right side of the brain as being true and then starts its path towards other goals from this overall truth. The Objective and Subjective Minds In the organization of the mind, there is a hierarchy. The higher level is the objective part that directs the lower subjective mind. The subjective mind is hypnotized by the objective mind. If the left side of the brain is dominate it becomes the objective mind and the right side of the mind becomes subjective. In this case everything is thought in terms of being logical. If the right of the brain is dominate it becomes the objective mind and the left side of the mind becomes subjective. In this case everything is thought in terms of feeling and logical thoughts are used only when needed. Deductive and Inductive Reasoning Deductive Reasoning is based on a general rule. Inductive Reasoning is based evidence that supports a general rule. Thus we have been using inductive reasoning in our proof of a spiritual dimension. Religion That Hypnotises When a person is hypnotized the person is often referred to as the subject. The subjective person is a follower and the objective person is the leader. The true believers are subjective people. Churches that use religious dogma use deductive reasoning. It assumes certain things and then everything hinges of these assumptions. Dogmatic churches want to hypnotize their congregation and produce subjective people. These people are hypnotized with religious dogma has been infected by a mind virus. When infective, the person does not think for themselves. They do not think about the big ideas, or the history of their church. They just assume that what is preached is true. Feeling hypnotized feels good. You have found truth. It is like falling in love. Hypnosis occurs when the conscious mind is put to sleep and the unconscious mind takes over. The conscious mind is the sun and the unconscious mind is the moon. The moon comes out every night when we dream. During hypnosis the person is bored and this puts moves the sun to sunset. The moon comes out and absorbs what is being said as the real truth. Churches hypnotize when they make their congregation bored with sing-song preaching, monotonous rituals, and other boring activities. They claim that the Bible is completely true. But in reality, the Bible contains the most wise passages, but then turns around and has some of the dumbest and immoral teachings too. It is a mixture. The clergy selects that which they want to use, and large areas are ignored. Using the Internet search for dung and the Bible and see what I mean. Someone needs to edit this Book. Why include stuff like God killing babies, and eating of human dung. The Bible was written when there were salves and when women had few rights. The conscious mind thinks it is true as the preachers mix in some logic and universal truths such as God is love and the best parts of the Bible. This is true for all religions, both Eastern and Western. Only the language changes. It is true for atheist too. They just turn the dogma up-side-down and make another dogma of what they do not believe. Objective Spirituality The unhypnotized objective mind is awake looking for the truth. It uses dogma and not inductive reasoning. The subjective mind is in fact always hypnotized. This is the part of the mind that is the true believer. The part of the mind is convinced of absolute truth. Those who are Bible believers use the subjective minds more than their objective minds. Visit Lots of Churches and Temples Each religion has things to teach. Look for what all the places you visit has in common. See if the people at the church or temple actually live the life they talk about. Try a Buddhist service. Chant with them. Don't just read about them. Cults Most religious organizations do good overall. But a few religious groups are extremists can cause harm. Though brain washing techniques they make people do things that in ordinary life they would never think of doing. Cults can be recognized by these characteristics:
Good Cultures Cultures are like religions. They believe in common ideas like they may or not value education. Rich and peaceful exist for good reasons. Picture two cultures, one on each of two islands. One island called "Evil" has no religion and the other called "Good Island" has a religion. On "Evil Island" everyone is mean, cheats and lies. There is no credit. Books are filled with lies. There is nothing close to religion. People commit crimes, and everyone lives in fear. There are bars on the windows, and everyone is armed, and dares not leave far from home. The island becomes poorer and poorer. There is very little help between people. On Good Island everyone believes in truth and being nice to each other. They extend help and credit. Books are filled with helpful truths. There is no crime, and everyone is free from fear. The island becomes richer and richer. Evil Island becomes poorer and poorer as money to be spent to find the criminals, try the criminals, and jail the criminals. Then people must spend more money to fix the problems caused by crime (as much as they can), and spend additional money to help prevent the future crimes. Good Island uses the same money for education, better roads, hospitals, new factories, and makes more money based on better conditions. On Evil Island the people live in consent fear. They are not free to concentrate on what they like to do and are distracted by worry.
