Re: [CTRL] Religion The Brain
-Caveat Lector- I'd have to agree that there is no way that such a thing as numinous experience can be proven objectively, but would also agree that if it does exist (and I don't rule it out completely) it would exist alongside of the non-spiritual world, for it would have to.

The work is part of a broad effort by scientists around the world to better understand religious experiences, measure them, and even reproduce them. Using powerful brain imaging technology, researchers are exploring what mystics call nirvana, and what Christians describe as a state of grace. Scientists are asking whether spirituality can be explained in terms of neural networks, neurotransmitters and brain chemistry. What creates that transcendental feeling of being one with the universe? It could be the decreased activity in the brain's parietal lobe, which helps regulate the sense of self and physical orientation, research suggests. How does religion prompt divine feelings of love and compassion? Possibly because of changes in the frontal lobe, caused by heightened concentration during meditation. Why do many people have a profound sense that religion has changed their lives? Perhaps because spiritual practices activate the temporal lobe, which weights experiences with personal significance. The brain is set up in such a way as to have spiritual experiences and religious experiences, said Andrew Newberg, a Philadelphia scientist who wrote the book Why God Won't Go Away. Unless there is a fundamental change in the brain, religion and spirituality will be here for a very long time. The brain is predisposed to having those experiences and that is why so many people believe in God. The research may represent the bravest frontier of brain research. But depending on your religious beliefs, it may also be the last straw. For while Newberg and other scientists say they are trying to bridge the gap between science and religion, many believers are offended by the notion that God is a creation of the human brain, rather than the other way around. It reinforces atheistic assumptions and makes religion appear useless, said Nancey Murphy, a professor of Christian philosophy at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif. If you can explain religious experience purely as a brain phenomenon, you don't need the assumption of the existence of God. Some scientists readily say the research proves there is no such thing as God. But many others argue that they are religious themselves, and that they are simply trying to understand how our minds produce a sense of spirituality. Newberg, who was catapulted to center stage of the neuroscience-religion debate by his book and some recent experiments he conducted at the University of Pennsylvania with co-researcher Eugene D'Aquili, says he has a sense of his own spirituality, though he declined to say whether he believes in God, because any answer would prompt people to question his agenda. I'm really not trying to use science to prove that God exists or disprove God exists, he said. Newberg's experiment consisted of taking brain scans of Tibetan Buddhist meditators as they sat immersed in contemplation. After giving them time to sink into a deep meditative trance, he injected them with a radioactive dye. Patterns of the dye's residues in the brain were later converted into images. Newberg found that certain areas of the brain were altered during deep meditation. Predictably, these included areas in the front of the brain that are involved in concentration. But Newberg also found decreased activity in the parietal lobe, one of the parts of the brain that helps orient a person in three-dimensional space. When people have spiritual experiences they feel they become one with the universe and lose their sense of self, he said. We think that may be because of what is happening in that area -- if you block that area you lose that boundary between the self and the rest of the world. In doing so you ultimately wind up in a universal state. Across the country, at the University of California in San Diego, other neuroscientists are studying why religious experiences seem to accompany epileptic seizures in some patients. At Duke University, psychiatrist Roy Mathew is studying hallucinogenic drugs that can produce mystical experiences and have long been used in certain religious traditions.

I must admit that while I have grave reservations about their scheme and certainly have a bone to pick with them for abusing the trust of their constituents by embarking on this sort of altruistic power-trip without making it an open part of their platform, I very much doubt it will come to anything. In part it reflects their own naive idealism, but also the reality that their power as politicians is becoming increasingly circumscribed by global economic integration. It's attempt to claw something back at a global level. I doubt it will succeed. The "Resistance" you speak of sounds intriguing and I'd certainly appreciate some more info. BD.

I can't stake my life on this but possibly Jim Keith was on it. Dr John Coleman, Commander X and Constance Cumbey. Matthew Fox is actually afraid of this woman. The gaia worship that they are building inch by inch incorporating the mainstream Christian religions is being exposed by her.

They elect delegates to World Parliament. There are 400 organizations in 75 countries with 15 million individual members. [1993 figures]It is UN associated.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- lol, Andy... You are the one who DID mention green cheese in your previous post to the one answered. The only thing that I am going to say is that I do not believe the Bible 100% as it is written in English because Hebrew, Chaldean and Greek reveal almost a whole different picture than what you get from many of the modernday folklore Bible teachers. I am not going to waste my time either, because I have nothing to convince you of. You seem to already know it all. However, if you are ever interested in learning the Bible, to make a proper and true assessment, it doesn't matter what I have to say, you have to learn it and experience it on your own. I would never tell a child that if you don't do this thus and so, they are going to burn in hell forever... because that is a lie. Whoever has told you that one has lied and I would agree to a certain point with you on your assessment. But you are like all other athiest and agnostics... you want to lump all religion into one category, and one belief system. Sorry, that's just not the way it is. Although technically, when it boils down to the bottom line, and eventually all will know, there is but one absolute, and one truth. You've said you're not going to waste your time? Don't worry, I won't waste yours, because this forum is not the place to waste my time on this subject. IF you care to learn more about some subjects you're welcome to visit my websites. And I still will not try to convince you that you should believe this way or that way. The information is there strictly for your consideration. If you believe the Bible references given, fine. If you don't, fine, too. However, regardless, it's your choice as to what you believe. I'm not here to convince you that there is or isn't a God, or that the Bible is or isn't true. I've only expressed my own opinion... and YES, I believe in God, and that the Bible in it's original languages is true, and it is from experience. eagle 1 http://www.lambsheart.com/fourwinds/hell.html - Original Message - From: "blue honey" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 04, 2000 9:41 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Religion and Mythology -Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- I think that I narrowed that wide-open category down just a bit when I included my definition of believers in the very sentence that I used the word Believers: Someone who believes that the bible was written by God and that it's 100 % true from cover to cover. lolI never mentioned gravity, or a moon made of cheese. No brain washing?!? Telling a child that not believing in God will result in burning in hell forever,...I'm not even going to waste my time typing all the instances of brainwashing that goes on in Sunday school with songs, chants and other techniques, it should be completely obvious that many children have no choice but to become a Christian because that's what their parents are. Faith, to me is not healthy. Faith is accepting ignorance, you have used the word "experienced" 3 or 4 times in you post, have you had a true religious experience? I have and I can tell you that it had nothing to do with faith, it was the opposite of faith. Does your religion rely on faith rather than experience? Dogma and creeds are not my cup of tea. I have no need for faith, it is the psychedelic experience itself that takes one past faith to the natural unity and integrity of the universe, showing us our Selves as integral parts of the whole; that reveals to us the infinite splendor of our universe, and the overlooked miracle that is common consciousness.

Re: [CTRL] Religion and Mythology
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- My problem with the "if you do that, you'll go to hell" scenario is that it makes one's salvation dependent upon "good works." And people use that as rationalization for just about anything. "I can do whatever, because I can make it up doing 'good works'." Many people also use the salvation by faith scenario to justify doing all kinds of bad things: "I can sin all I want to; God will forgive me." Both are sheer hypocrisy. If one truly has faith, then from that faith flows the desire to do good. You're not doing it in anticipation of the reward either now or later, but because the faith inspires you to serve, and to give. Tenorlove hoping that makes sense __ Do You Yahoo!?

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Well one last word before I give up. There is a big grey area between many Christians who know nothing about the occult/ufos/mind control etc and those Christians who do know whats really going on. Lets just put these in the category of 'aware' Christian resistance. OK Then there are the people who are not Christians who know nothing about Christianity and are still living in the past, thinking 'Christians' are ruled by some primal urge to divide life into that of the devil and that of God and don't actually use any rationality. Wrong. The last 5 years has produced many people who can combine faith with intellect/research of the NWO and they do have something worth listening to to add to the power of the resistance.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Well Andy, The drawback of the psychedelic 'we are one/divine/there is no separation' experience is it only lasts for the duration of the high. You have only opened one of the top chakras artificially, by the drug burning holes in the barrier which separates this reality from a higher.You are only getting a glimpse into the unknown territory, which entry is earned by those who follow the rules as laid out in the Bible.eg save your kundalini. Take too many drugs and you won't be able to tell the difference between the multiple realities existing in the universe. I think the Bible is interpreted with different states of consciousness according to how much a person can digest of deeper experiences according to need. Others see ETs everywhere. Some interpret it symbolically because they can't yet grasp it inspirationally. Focusing on the hell part is an inability to see the reason why God would want to create 12 races to develop differing paths of mankind to evolve. If you read Josephus [approx 70AD] he said each of the 12 tribes represented one sign of the Zodiac. At the end of the Bible in Revelation Ch 7:3 it says 12,000 of each tribe will have the seal of God on their forheads. Obviously God has a plan to ensure survival of the human body of those who have the right DNA to start again in the next dimension. The light in the forehead would be indicative of the presence of the higher ethers necessary to change dimension. At present the so called 6th Aryan race would like to accomplish this feat technologically,{see the post of 2 days ago [US Military fake rapture and genocide -Important, sent 4th March] but those descendants of the Nordic Pleiadians dip out here, unless they have interbred with the tribe of Benjamin who migrated to Scandanavia. Why worry about hell after death, it's hell during life you need to avoid, when the hoards of hell in their underground bases in US will be emerging in unison with the UN foreign troops to round up the population. It's pretty obvious that all of are being categorised by the Ets, for evacuation purposes. I believe millions will be transported off the planet to be put back later to return to an earth that has changed position in space. The Ets know this from their time machines and can take who they want if they are not claimed by Jesus' army. Will one come back or not this is the real worry? Have you not heard of the fluoresent marks people have returned with after ET abduction. Psychedelic revelations won't save you, I think it is a matter of fitting into the right category by unseen hands. We decide nothing! We are not 'all one' we are DNA categorised by those who run the solar system, and decide who gets born in what family. Nicky blue honey wrote: Dogma and creeds are not my cup of tea.

For those believers with guts, check out the book below. Joshua2 BELIEF AND MAKE-BELIEVE by G. A. Wells Why do so many people - sometimes even intelligent people - swallow the preposterous claims of religion? G.A. Wells, the leading freethinker of our time, tries to shed light on this puzzle in his entertaining and enormously learned book, Belief and Make-Believe. Professor Wells begins by analyzing the nature of belief. To dispel popular confusions on the relation between words and thoughts, he compares the thinking processes of scientists, laymen, and chimpanzees. The power of emotion and instinct to help form people's ideological outlooks is analyzed by reference to "defiance" and "reliance", polar attitudes which arise from the need for dominance and submission in primate groups. Wells shows the influence of defiance and reliance in patriotism and in monotheistic religions, where submission to the will of the omnipotent is a wonderful technique for feeling secure in the face of life's actual and ineradicable dangers. Since all knowledgeable Christians now accept that the Bible is uneven, unreliable, and sometimes morally abhorrent, and that the New Testament account of the origin of Christianity is mostly legend, various attempts have been made to save something from the debris by selective re-interpretation. Wells evaluates several typical examples, showing how the apologists shrink from the clear implications of their arguments, which would demolish the whole edifice of Christian doctrine. Finally, Professor Wells debunks some of the extravagant and mystical claims that have been made for the arts, notably poetry, as quasi-religious vehicles for gaining insights into the human condition. George Wells is professor emeritus of German in the University of London. Re is a leading authority on both German intellectual history and the origins of Christiani- ty. His books include Goethe and the Development of Science, The Origin of language, Religious Postures, and Who Was Jesus? = Everyone believes in something. You must believe in gravity, and believe in it blindly... because it can only be understood in theory. Ridiculous. There are NO CONSEQUENCES to believing or not believing in gravity. Belief is irrelevant because it is real and operates upon us whether we know it exists or not. God, on the other hand has no existence outside the " belief " of humans. It is ONLY through belief that god exists. It cannot be physically examined, but it certainly can be experienced, and I'm sure you "believe" in it's reality and its effects. :) Don't knock it, 'til you try it, honey... For example, If you want to believe that the moon is made of green cheese... and is served best with ranch dressing, and if you also believe you've tasted it and experienced it... and you think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, it would be impossible to talk logic with you either. You got that right. And what you are describing here is a form of insanity based on an aversion to reality for whatever reason. Usually simple cowardice. People who believe the Bible was written by God, and those whom you call impossible to talk logic, more than likely have had a life changing experience that has convinced them that the Bible is true. There is no brainwashing or mind control. It's called FAITH. A very healthy human attribute. WOW! What a whopper! Faith ONLY exists through brainwashing and mind control. ONLY! Faith is nothing more than self delusion. There is nothing healthy about it. Not only does faith cause you to believe in the utterly ridiculous, like biologically impossible virgin births and even more absurd resurrections from the dead, it makes the believer a carrier of mental illness which is passed to large numbers of people orally. It then spreads to entire populations and induces mass insanity where even the same ethnic groups start killing each other over religiously induced hal- ucinations. One need merely cite Ireland, Yugoslavia, Nigeria, and Sudan. Sounds to me that you've just found something in life and the social culture to disagree with and you just want to thump the thumpers. (I actually don't blame you to some degree)... But, If you haven't experienced it, you cannot logically judge someone who claims to have experienced it. One cancels the other. eagle 1

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- A bit of humor on the same subject: Kissing Hank's Ass by Jim Huber This morning there was a knock at my door. When I answered the door I found a well-groomed, nicely dressed couple. The man spoke first: John: "Hi! I'm John and this is Mary." Mary: "Hi! We're here to invite you to come kiss Hank's ass with us." Me: "Pardon me?! What are you talking about? Who's Hank, and why would I want to kiss his ass?" John: "If you kiss Hank's ass, he'll give you a million dollars; and if you don't, he'll kick the shit out of you." Me: "What? Is this some kind of bizarre mob shake-down?" John: "Hank is a billionaire philanthropist. Hank built this town. Hank owns this town. He can do anything he wants, and what he wants is to give you a million dollars, but he can't until you kiss his ass." Me: "That doesn't make any sense. Why..." Mary: "Who are you to question Hank's gift? Don't you want a million dollars? Isn't it worth a little kiss on the ass?" Me: "Well maybe, if it's legit, but..." John: "Then come kiss Hank's ass with us." Me: "Do you kiss Hank's ass often?" Mary: "Oh yes, all the time..." Me: "And has he given you a million dollars?" John: "Well no, you don't actually get the money until you leave town." Me: "So why don't you just leave town now?" Mary: "You can't leave until Hank tells you to, or you don't get the money and he kicks the shit out of you." Me: "Do you know anyone who kissed Hank's ass, left town, and got the million dollars?" John: "My mother kissed Hank's ass for years. She left town last year, and I'm sure she got the money." Me: "Haven't you talked to her since then?" John: "Of course not, Hank doesn't allow it." Me: "So what makes you think he'll actually give you the money if you've never talked to anyone who got the money?" Mary: "Well, he gives you a little bit before you leave. Maybe you'll get a raise, maybe you'll win a small lotto, maybe you'll just find a twenty dollar bill on the street." Me: "What's that got to do with Hank?" John: "Hank has certain 'connections'." Me: "I'm sorry, but this sounds like some sort of bizarre con game." John: "But it's a million dollars, can you really take the chance? And remember, if you don't kiss Hank's ass he'll kick the shit out of you." Me: "Maybe if I could see Hank, talk to him, get the details straight from him..." John: "No one sees Hank, no one talks to Hank." Me: "Then how do you kiss his ass?" John: "Sometimes we just blow him a kiss, and think of his ass. Other times we kiss Karl's ass, and he passes it on." Me: "Who's Karl?" Mary: "A friend of ours. He's the one who taught us all about kissing Hank's ass. All we had to do is take him out to dinner a few times." Me: "And you just took his word for it when he said there was a Hank, that Hank wanted you to kiss his ass, and that Hank would reward you?" John: "Oh no! Karl's got a letter Hank sent him years ago explaining the whole thing. Here's a copy; see for yourself." From the desk of Karl Kiss Hank's ass and he'll give you a million dollars when you leave town. Drink only in moderation. Kick the shit out of people who aren't like you. Eat right. Hank dictated this list himself. The Moon is made of green cheese. Everything Hank says is right. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom. Don't use alcohol. Eat your wieners on buns, no condiments. Kiss Hank's ass or he'll kick the shit out of you. Me: "This would appear to be written on Karl's letterhead." Mary: "Hank didn't have any paper." Me: "I have a hunch that if we checked, we'd find this is Karl's handwriting." John: "Of course, Hank dictated it." Me: "I thought you said no one gets to see Hank?" Mary: "Not now, but years ago he would talk to some people." Me: "I thought you said Hank was a philanthropist. What sort of philanthropist kicks the shit out of people just because they're different?" Mary: "It's what Hank wants, and Hank's always right." Me: "How do you figure that?" Mary: "Item 7 says 'Everything Hank says is right.' That's good enough for me!" Me: "Maybe your friend Karl just made the whole thing up." John: "No way! Item 5 says 'Hank dictated this list himself.' Besides, item 2 says 'Drink in moderation,' item 4 says 'Eat right,' and item 8 says 'Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.' Everyone knows those things are right, so the rest must be true, too." Me: "But 9 says 'Don't use alcohol,' which doesn't quite go with item 2, and 6 says 'The Moon is made of green cheese,' which is just plain wrong." John: "There's no contradiction between 9 and 2, 9 just clarifies 2. As far as 6 goes, you've never been to the Moon, so you can't say for sure." Me: "Scientists have pretty firmly established that the Moon is made of rock..." Mary: "But they don't know if the rock came from the Earth, or from out of space, so it could just as easily be green cheese." Me: "I'm not

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- That's a very interesting post, as you can probably tell I'm reading that book too. My concern is the mind set of today, why grown adults blindly believe something that is obviously untrue. Then these same people make their new found religion fit their lifestyle instead of making their lifestyle fit their religion...it's so silly. -andy www.bluehoney.org I'm currently reading the book "The Christ Conspiracy", which digs *really* deep into the above insights. Extremely fascinating reading. The authors website is http://www.truthbeknown.com/, but her book contains 10x the information. Another interesting conspiracy theory on the origin of religion, which is pretty hard to swallow, but worth considering nonetheless, is found in the books: "..."The Axe was God", "The Rod Was Mercury" and "Thirty-Thousand Gods before Jehovah", all authored by the same person. I think these books were originally published in the 1930's or 40's. The premise of these books, which must be taken into consideration when reading this section, is that there was a worldwide "PRIESTHOOD" that existed before the dawn of Christianity and it was these "Thirty-thousand" or so HIGH Priests which ruled the world from the hilltops among scattered Islands and mainlands. They possessed maps which allowed them to send pirate crews of Lower Priests through the seas to the different lands to convince the people of the "Reality" of the various Gods which ruled the people. Very Much like "Zardoz". These Gods and lower priests alone knew the different languages and taught each of them to the different peoples. No one area of people were allowed to know the language of the other tribes or groups of people. The Gate which one could not pass was the "Babylon" or "Gate of the Gods", where one would be severely punished If trespassed. This kept the people from sharing information and figuring out what was really going on. This was also the "Garden of Eden" where the gods presided. Only the "Gods" knew of the powers of "Fire" and gunpowder and could cause great disturbances which made the people fear the repercussions and deliver to the "Gods" Gold, jewels, and various sacrifices including humans. The Rod of Mercury was carried by the Lower Priest, hereafter referred to as just the "Priests", which were one rank lower than the "Gods", the highest priests. This Caudaceas would allow them to pass unharmed into the different areas to administer limited information to the King of the Peoples. (The King was under the Priests). If one tribe got out of line, then "Jehovah" would unleash his wrath by sending an army from "Baal's" land to destroy some of "Jehovah's" people, by sending a Priest to "Baal's" land and informing them that there was an army planning an invasion over to the North or something. That they must attack them and kill them etc. When this happened, the remaining people would be frightened and say, "Well, I guess we should have listened to Jehovah, he was right, look at how he was able to destroy us like that". http://www.freedomdomain.com/language.html A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

My concern is the mind set of today, why grown adults blindly believe something that is obviously untrue. Consider the following scenario: [also note that the Priesthood theory in my previous post should be taken in context with the theories on the "origins of human power structures" by Bucky Fuller (re: "Legally Piggily" "Grunch of Giants") and Lysander Spooner in Part III of "Natural Law; Or the Science of Justice", see: http://www.geocities.com/philately.geo/terrocrat.htm Integrated with what follows, it's a bit more palatable]: -- from: "The Anatomy of Slavespeak" by Frederick Mann http://www.buildfreedom.com/tl/tl07a.shtml -- Two Tribes Consider two different isolated tribes somewhere in the jungles of South America. Call them Tribe 1 and Tribe 2. Each has its unique language with its own structure. The language of Tribe 1 (Language 1) tends to be very literal. A man who fishes, for example, is called "man-who-fishes." The same man, while sleeping, is called "man-who-sleeps"; while talking, "man-who-talks"; while running, "man-who-runs"; while eating, man-who-eats"; while writing, "man-who-writes"; while making a chair, "man-who-makes-chair"; while giving orders, "man-who-gives-orders"; etc. In Language 1, distinctions are made between different kinds of words: "Thing-words," "Do-words," "How-words," "Story-words," "Funny-words," "Order-words," "Panic-words," "What-words," "Who-words," "Why-words," "When-words," "Where-words," etc. High-level abstractions are rare in language 1. To the people of Tribe 1, any word that doesn't refer to something physically perceivable, is highly suspect. Their test for reality is physical. The language of Tribe 2 (Language 2) is very different. A man who obtains his wherewithal mostly by fishing, is called "fisherman." (This system of nomenclature would seem absurd to the people of Tribe 1 -- how can you call someone a "fisherman" when he is not fishing, but sleeping?) Language 2 contains many high-level abstractions -- like "happiness." People from Tribe 2 can talk for hours about "happiness." (To someone from Tribe 1, this would be incomprehensible -- they only talk about "woman-who-is-happy" while she is happy, and "woman-who-is-sad" while she is sad. The notion that you could separate "happiness" from a real person being happy, and talk about "happiness" as if it existed by itself, would be completely unthinkable to someone from Tribe 1.) To the people from Tribe 2, any word being used is automatically assumed to be part of existence, otherwise people wouldn't use it. (To someone from Tribe 1, the word "existence" would be a meaningless absurdity, because in their mentality only particular objects exist.) In Tribe 2, the test for reality is agreement. If other people agree with a word and the way it seems to be used, then that word is automatically accepted as valid and useful. One day a strange man arrives at the place where the people of Tribe 1 live. They ask him: "Who you?" He: "I King." They: "Your name King?" He: "No; my name John." They: "Why call self King if name John?" He: "I special person, agent of God." They: "You look different but not special; who God?" He: "God creator of world." They: "Where God?; How create world?" He: "God everywhere; God all-powerful." They: "How we see God?" He: "Can't see God." They: "You speak crazy." He: "No; I special; I show you." Whereupon the stranger performs various tricks like apparently making objects appear and disappear. They: "You clever man-who-tricks." He: "I special; I King." They: "You speak funny; you clever John-who-tricks." He: "I King; my word law." They: "What law? -- special word?" He: "Yes; my word law -- you must obey." They: "Ah! You mean order-word!" He: "Yes; I King; I make law." They: "No; you speak order-word?" He: "Yes; I special." They: "What special? -- Anybody speak order-word?" He: "You not understand." They: "No." Eventually John-the-stranger gives up trying to convince the people of Tribe 1 that he has a "special status" and that his words are different from the words of anyone else -- so he leaves, to search for more gullible and impressionable victims elsewhere... For many days and nights he trudges through the jungle before discovering the people of Tribe 2. They: "Who you?" He: "I King." They: "Your name King?" He: "No, my name John." They: "Why call self King if name John?" He: "I special person, agent of God." They: "You look different; what God?" He: "God creator of world." They: Where God?; How create world?" He "God everywhere; God all-powerful." They: "Show special?" Whereupon the stranger performs various tricks like apparently making objects appear and disappear. They: "You King, agent of God." He: "Yes, my word law." They: "What law?" He: "Law special word of God through me; you must obey."

Well, after consuming it you would probably be wondering "What is it" as you were talking to God. John Allegro has authored one of the most interesting books in the world on the origins and sources of religion. It is called "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross" and was published in 1970. Allegro was one of a team of researchers hired by the State of Israel and the British government to decipher the "Dead Sea Scrolls" when they were discovered in the 1950's. Allegro was hired because he was a biblical scholar and was familiar with ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MAJOR LANGUAGE including SUMERIAN, EGYPTIAN, HEBREW, CUNIEFORM. His ultimate conclusion (and he was kicked off the team for his opinions) was that Jesus was a Mushroom consumed by the Essenes and covered up to keep the Roman authorities in the dark about the fertility cult of the Essenes. Allegro claims that the ancient people considered the rain similar to God's sperm in that it would fertilize the soil (of Mother Earth) and allow the crops to grow. If the rain was a source of "Heavenly Sperm" then there must be a giant Penis in the sky producing this "Heavenly Sperm", assumed the ancients. Well, after the rain, the mushroom would grow, allowing them to "Talk to God" and the mushroom looked like a miniature Penis growing up from the ground. This, allegro adds, was to them the "Son of God come down in the flesh to show the way to himself". For a detailed analysis of the book Click Here to goto the Catalog Intro.

The phallic symbolism is most obvious (with the nymphs worshiping). The disc is the cap of the Mushroom or female part. The place the phallus joins the cap is called the Vulva (in Mycological terms). The Nymphs are worshiping the phallus by dancing in an enticing way to provoke the phallus to join them (the Female disc) in the holy act of creation.

Re: [CTRL] Religion
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: earthman [EMAIL PROTECTED] We just need the right marketing and we'll rich and famous.. There are various ways to market a religion / belief system / obsession / scam. Besides the traditional mind-control methods [drugs, implants, subliminal suggestion / hypnosis, traumatic brainwashing / love-bombing, etc] there are techniques to gain public attention approval, usually by gaining media exposure: 1. Bribe your way into popular entertainments. 2. Commit public atrocities to gain notoriety. 3. Spam media/commo nets with proclamations. 4. Buy control of media outlets. It's also possible to operate "below the radar" of mass-media: 5. Promulgate rumors, domestically abroad. 6. Hijack existing groups to spread your message. 7. Develop disciplined cadres of operatives. 8. Infiltrate and subvert governing bodies. But even energetic implementation of such techniques doesn't guarantee success. Note that classic Marxist/Leninist disinfo marketing strategies/tactics managed to attain short-term gains in terms of thought- and territorial-control, but were unable to prevail against a materialist system that actually delivered material results. The same techniques, when employed by holy hucksters, succeed because the payoffs accrue AFTER one's death. The lesson is clear: if you're going to market a system, DON'T PROMISE ANYTHING TANGIBLE! Sell the sizzle, not the steak. Always structure your claims so that you have no dissatisfied customers grumbling that they'd have done better somewhere else. CONTINUISM will succeed if it's entertaining enough. A well- produced cosmology that includes sex/drugs/music should suffice.
