This is what is ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 30 Dec 09, 03:04:19 This is what is outstanding about Dr. Sheldrake's writing - the way he makes scientific discovery and experimental results accessible to his readers through lucid explanations and comprehensible examples.
I am secular because I do not believe in any organized religion... but I am not a material reductionist, either.
I find evidence of intelligence, coherence and intent throughout nature, and Rupert Sheldrake explains this beautifully... leaving it between the? lines for the reader to realize.
Thanks, Heidi

Yes, right - cannons to the left? and right. This is a secularist's dream; people who give up and search for nothing but having a good time - which means talking about new computer software, who's cheating on who and other exciting things like that. And leave all the big questions to the "authorities".
Ratings have been ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 24 Oct 09, 17:12:26 Ratings have been disabled because this Book Review has already been attacked by one-star votebots from two opposing directions - both material reductionist ideologues AND religious fundamentalists.
As I said in the video: "Cannons? to the right of him; cannons to the left of him, volley and thunder"... Dr. Sheldrake is truly "The Charge of the ENLIGHTENED Brigade!", and has courageously continued his charge for over 30 years.
He has therefore earned himself an enlightened contingent.

Part ONE (of two) of my reading from Chapter 9 (summary chapter) of "Irreducible Mind" by Kelly and Kelly, et al.
This chapter summarizes and supports the authors' conclusion that "the self" has not been proven (via material reductionism) to be a product of brain activity, but instead, is apparently THE causal factor in our interpretation of and response to brain activity.

My kitty, "Thunderpuff" plays ball in a very intelligent way. He hits the little soft ball back to me so that I can hit it to him again. He also varies the game by grabbing the ball and acting coy... then tapping the ball back to me gently. Sometimes he bats it back in mid air. Thunderpuff actually plays with me, instead of taking the ball and playing by himself.

- Your retort ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 26 Feb 10, 14:46:17 - Your retort about having "all the answers" is an obvious psychological projection.
I notice that you've ignored my rational question:
" Why, if the Wholly? Babble was supposedly inspired by "god", this "god" neglected to similarly inspire everyone who translated it so they'd get it right?
I mean, what? good does it do to inspire people in Hebrew and/or Aramaic if you're just going to let people screw it up in Latin, Greek, English and every other language on the planet?"
- NO. There is no ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 26 Feb 10, 14:31:56 - NO. There is no devil, and no human beings who serve any "dark side" other than their own making.
What turns me away from organized religion, and it's belief in some anthropomorphic god that allegedly instructed people to victimize innocent beings in order to atone for their so-called "sins" is not some other imaginary "devil" or so-called "dark side". It's my own common? sense and capacity to think rationally... an ability that the bible writers wanted us to disregard. 8-P
- Yes, I often ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 19 Nov 09, 17:00:30 - Yes, I often receive intuition and telepathic messages... and I believe that telepathy and intuition and psi are all natural powers that are associated with our expanded minds and? are part of the morphic fields which include the minds of all those who are closely associated with us (see Rupert Sheldrake - I have posted two videos about him and his research). Science HAS found evidence of telepathy and intuition. Some skeptics disagree, but I've often experienced it myself.
But in a video 2 ... By: EvolutieOnzin. on 19 Nov 09, 02:26:08 But in a video 2 year after this one, you say that you were let (not by person or natural sensors) to an article you should read. Also, you close with letting people view you from "soul to soul".
If not by natural means, what let you to the article but something supernatural. And a soul is (to my knowledge) a supernatural (read: not of natural/fiscal world)
Were you speaking of freak chance that let you to the article, or about a natural force science? can't find (jet)?
- It's a good ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 19 Nov 09, 02:10:20 - It's a good question.
I disbelieve in religion, and I disbelieve in "the god of Abraham"... but I do believe that the universe is infused with intelligence, and that life originates and evolves through intent - and intent denotes intelligence. If you visit my channel, you'll find several videos about the scientific studies of Sr. Rupert Sheldrake and about the book "Irreducible Mind". This intelligence is not? "supernatural" IMHO, but an intrinsic part of nature itself.
I have a personal ... By: EvolutieOnzin. on 19 Nov 09, 01:41:52 I have a personal question if you don't mind... Did you stop believing in the God of the Bible, or? did you stop to believe in any supernatural creative being/power at all?
Because what you describe is a problem with the Cristian God not with the concept of a god or a creative being.
I'm not trying to ridicule you or force an answer, I would really like to know what that "last straw" did for your believe in the supernatural.
btw, I agree that a ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 20:52:47 btw, I agree that a tiger isn't likely to feel remorse about its prey. When it's just doing its thing,? there's no need for it. Where there's more choice, guilt is more likely. I think that social animals like chimps might be capable of some kind of reflection and find certain things poignant. They have machievellian behaviours like we do, so why shouldn't they have similar feelings about it? They probably don't get so stuck as people can become.
I know that Western ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 20:28:53 I know that Western religion is associated with guilt, but I don't? think it's necessary for it. I'm sure that our ancestors could easily have felt guilt if one of their number died defeinding the troop from a lion. I've heard that Eastern gurus purposely turn up guilt, by asking their disciples to try not to desire, just so that they realise that it's impossible (by trying, anyway).
I'm sure that some ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 20:24:20 I'm sure that some 'sacrificial' doctrines and practices are superstitious and came about by seeing a correlation the way you suggest. Like those pigeons that happen to be fed after making a movement, and then repeat it, whether they get fed or not. I personally feel that? some myth and allegory that sounds supersticious, is deeper than that. There are nonzerosum games I guess, but life as a whole does seem to feed on itself. Like Ourobourus (if that's the right spelling).
As an example of ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 20:10:13 As an example of why I think it might be true that there is original sin, and that that is also perfectly ok, I once thought of? how the idea of the world as Lila, or the great play makes sense, but seems to contradict the Buddhist idea that life is craving and dukkha, to be got out of as soon as poss - which also makes sense. I think it is like a game, or puzzle, in which the point is to get to the end, but also, the point is to play. They are both equally the point and there's no contradiction.
I don't necessarily ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 20:06:11 I don't necessarily think that a concept of 'original sin' has to? be sanctimonious or censorious. I've heard it suggested that 'make a distinction' was the original sin. But without apparent distinctions there would be no world. Animals may be innocent precisely because they don't have the concept of sin. Though, tbh I think that we just don't know whether all animals never have any sense of anything that's at all analogous.
It's hard to put it ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 20:00:00 It's hard to put it very clearly - both because I think it's semantically difficult, as terms such as 'I' and 'mind' are ambiguous anyway, and perhaps I'm not that enlightened. I do think that some psychological knots can be helped by spiritual teachings, including Christian ones. I also think that if we understand them, we are less likely to be resentful. I'm sure that hating the ego leads to more? resentment and egotism.
I? may just be ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 19:52:47 I? may just be wrong about this. It does take willpower not to give in to resentment, so I guess it's valid to say that any motive not to give in to it, is better than they are as motives. I feel inauthent sometimes, and it seems to me that it's certainly possible to do the 'right' thing for egotistical reasons. How to want the right thing, and be genuine, seems a problem. Your mind can think, but can't choose it's motives. I think maybe the solution is realising that you're not your mind.
- why would you ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 12 Nov 09, 16:30:41 - why would you believe that your mind cannot control its own motives? What do you think you are, a robot?
Of course I can control my own motives. I look into my own heart and mind on a regular basis. I evaluate my own motives before I act. I often talk myself out of doing something out of resentment, or anger, and deliberately and consciously forgive and forget. I am completely in touch with my own thoughts and? my own mind.
- why do you? ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 12 Nov 09, 16:26:26 - why do you? believe that story? Because someone wrote it in a big book that people at church told you to believe?
How can some poor innocent man being tortured and murdered by being nailed to a cross possibly save the world? How preposterous. And the same Christians think there will be Armageddon, anyway. How then is the world being "saved"?
- are you aware ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 12 Nov 09, 16:22:59 - are you aware that in recent cases of mothers killing their own children, the mothers told the police that "god" told them to kill their own kids? One mother rolled her SUV into a lake with her kids strapped? into their seats, and they drowned. Another mother drowned all 5 of her small children in the bathtub, one by one. She claimed that "god" told her to do that, too. So why didn't "god" stop those people in time to save THEIR kids, huh? Those mothers are murderers.
- I? cannot agree ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 12 Nov 09, 16:16:42 - I? cannot agree with any concept of "original sin". What rubbish!
Various competing forms of life developed and evolved simultaneously, and some became prey animals, while others became predators.
Human intellectual concepts of "sin" are unique to our species. No predator considers itself guilty of "sin", nor would it believe it had to be "saved"; nor would it believe that it was created "in sin". Those concepts are all religious dogma (i.e. utter nonsense).
- I think ... By: HurricaneHeidi. on 12 Nov 09, 16:09:50 - I think Sheldrake's theory of the origin of human and/or animal sacrifice makes sense. Early tribal humans might well have drawn the conclusion that when one of them dies and feeds the predator(s), the rest of the? troup are safe for awhile.
Predation and feeding oneself is not subject to value judgment (either "good" or "evil") since it is obviously necessary for the continuation of life. IMO, value judgment comes in connection with mercy and humane treatment of prey.
Since there ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 13:48:37 Since there couldn't be any life without that self-feeding, then it's also 'good'... I saw a talk where Sheldrake refers to the idea of Barbara Ehrenreich that early mankind was more hunted than hunter. He suggested that the member of a troupe killed by? a carnivore, did, in a sense, die for the rest. Perhaps 'the lord' sacrifices himself by pretending to be us. If we realise that we can't choose our motives, we realise that we don't have to. That's what I think Alan Watts' interpretation was.
My grasp on what ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 13:31:05 My grasp on what Christian doctrine might 'really' mean is a bit vague, but I think I see enough clues to feel that there might be something helpful about it. Should really do a video instead of? typing interminable text. Not as articulate as some of you out there, but practice makes better, I guess. Have to get a new camera first though.
Anyway, it's true that life has to feed on other life, one way or another, which is kind of original sin.
That's interesting, ... By: gerontodon. on 12 Nov 09, 13:22:10 That's interesting, I've been reading about links between Christianity and Greek mystery religions as well. There are people who argue that most early Christians, including Paul, did not believe that Jesus was a historical figure. Hadn't heard of Greek human sacrifice before. I thought that if the Jesus story meant anything, it was something to do with enlightenment and realising that the mind can't control its own motives, and that was what the mystery? religions were about as well.

What "lake of fire"? What an oxymoron THAT is.
I do? not believe everything I read... and I especially do not believe that any "god" instructed people to kill innocent animals, children, or a young man in order to atone for their "sins". It's a bloody awful belief - literally.
This is utter, irrational, delusional, nonsense.
