Armen Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 What about headaches? style_images/master/snapback.png Nairi jan, you don't say "I feel like my head is aching". It aches! And that's the end of story. It is a physical process: blood criculation, tension etc, etc. How do explain that apathy, love, dispair, rage etc are not felt in your brain?

nairi Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I feel strong impulses in my brain that are a result of psychological pains which manifest themselves as physical pains. Like a sharp prick (no puns intended) in my brain. If I stop and allow myself to experience it, it manifests itself as a psychological pain, a memory, and unresolved problem. If I repress it, it manifests itself as a physical pain, an itch, a heartache, or other such throbbing pain. The mind is the most powerful thing. We just don't know how to use it yet.

Armen Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 It becomes a "headache" when you start thinking about it. Meaning, when you start solving a problem connected with your feeling, you consciously involve your brain as a tool to deal with it. In this sence brain is the most powerful tool a it produces your "means" to fight with the "enemy". But would you say that when you feel jealousy, for example, the first organ to get involved (your sensor) is the brain? Your sensors register a given information on surroundings, however, you feel it in your heart (I mean, I do ). Doesn't your heart get "smaller" when this happens? Isn't it the first organ you brain deals with to calm the fisrt reaction to an outer "attack"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpa Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 (edited) Today is Sunday. Here is the Bible Study of the day The God Gene. Caution! This a long article but is worth the read. [url=http://www.timecanada.com/story.http://www.timecanada.com/story.adp?stor The following two paragraphs caught my fancy . For one thing, God is a concept that appears in human cultures all over the globe, regardless of how geographically isolated they are. When tribes living in remote areas come up with a concept of God as readily as nations living shoulder to shoulder, it’s a fairly strong indication that the idea is preloaded in the genome rather than picked up on the fly. If that’s the case, it’s an equally strong indication that there are very good reasons it’s there. One of those reasons might be that, as the sole species—as far as we know—capable of contemplating its own death, we needed something larger than ourselves to make that knowledge tolerable. “Anticipation of our own demise is the price we pay for a highly developed frontal lobe,” says Persinger. “In many ways, [a God experience is] a brilliant adaptation. It’s a built-in pacifier.” Edited October 24, 2004 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a built-in pacifier.” style_images/master/snapback.png I would argue that in reality it is diametrically the opposite. The notion of non-existence of God is a built in pacifier and a briliant adaptation. Just look how everyone gets disturbed when someone says that God exists.

Armen Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Someone like you for example Stormy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Ha ha ha, how funny. Fact is the complete opposite. Someone like me had a hard time considering the possibility of even questioning the inexistence of a deity as an adolescent. Accepting everything that has been spoon-fed you, no questions asked, that's what's easy way out. If you're born to Buddhist parents, you're Buddhist. If you're born to Muslims, you're Muslim. Do I see a pattern here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armen Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 No, Stormy I think it's the other way round. The so-called "questioning" of everything arround that prevails in western society and manifests itself as baseless rethoric is the opium that is being spoon-fed to you. Regarding the religious tradition of nations. If you brake all the borders between cultures and mix everyone up by accepting that all changes are possibile and there is total freedom (anarchy) that will bring to a situation where there will be no original culture left. If the original culture is gone that will bring to a psychological deadlock. Can you immagine that wherever you go be it Thailand or Zimbabve you see the same megapolis melting pot culture with same restaurants and same clubs? Isn't it boring? Isen't diversity fun. Isn't it fun that Muslims stay Muslism and Christians stay Christians? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see any convincing, "baseful" rhetoric worth a hundredth of the time it did when I was surrounded by Catholics, Presbyterians, and Pakis. It is more worth my time to entertain myself with dissecting hypocrisy. As for the "fun" bit - that is hardly even beside the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
