I always perceived the term as a purely spiritual energy, not plant secretions.

I did find the connection between jesus and ra most fascinating, though.
First off i wanna give thanks to you who replied for actually taking the time to go through and read it. I was afraid that most people would notice how long it was and look the other way. So thanks for taking the time to read it. I think everyone should atleast go through and read bits and parts and see if it interests you like it interests me.

I agree it is something for the spirituality boards but i decided that most of you in the lounge didnt visit that board and deserved the chance to read it also.

I dont disagree that manna is something spiritual but that statement was more for the sake of argument and trying to find a connection. Just more food for thought!! I dont exactly like to use wikipedia for information either....


Meditation changes the brain's activity frequency from the Beta to Theta.

THETA WAVES Theta waves (4-7 cps) occur in sleep and are dominant in our highest state of meditation. We normally only experience theta waves as we drift off to sleep, during some dreaming, and as we return from the depths of delta sleep. The pictures we perceive as we drift off and awaken are in theta wave. During theta wave meditations, we are in a waking dream where vivid imagery flashes before our inner vision. In this state, we are extremely receptive to information sent from the higher dimensions.
The Theta state is where intuition comes, instantaneous healings occur and accelerated learning occurs. Einstein trained himself to spend many hours in that state. It is where you feel one with All.

LSD , shrooms ect. put you in Theta state too. FYI

P.s. Cannabis alters the brain to produce Alpha waves.
Very good information! Psychedelics has always amazed me in this way and i always knew from the first time i took them that they were extremely powerful and profound and if used correctly they would be useful for healing you spiritually and possibly physically. I didnt know that cannabis alters the brain to produce Alpha waves, what are the Alpha waves role?

The 10% Brain Usage Myth!

The question is: Do we use only 10% of our brains?
Let me state this very clearly:


There is no scientific evidence to suggest that we use only 10% of our brains.

To say "we use all of our brain all of the time" or something similar to that says nothing about the potential of human intelligence, creativity, and problem solving. Such a skeptical rebuttal of the vast potential of the human think machine implies that we have reached our limits of brain potential- probably the most harmful dead end notion of all. We haven't even gotten close


" Research Report
Dormancy of the Human Brain
Dormant Brain Research and Development Laboratory
T.D.A. Lingo, Director

The human brain is only 10% functional, at best.
The first to outline this theory, later proved a fact by others, was Australian Neurology Nobel Laureate Sir John Eccles. (Lecture: University of Colorado, University Memorial Center Boulder, July 31, 1974.) "The brain indicates its powers are endless."

In England, John Lorber did autopsies on hydrocephalics. This illness causes all but the 1/6th inch layer of brain tissue to be dissolved by acidic spinal fluid. He tested the IQ's of patients before and during the disease. His findings showed that IQ remained constant up to death. Although over 90% of brain tissue was destroyed by the disease, it had no impact on what we consider to be normal intelligence.

Russian neurosurgeon Alexandre Luria proved that the 1/3 bulk of frontal lobes are mostly dormant. He did this by performing ablation experiments on persons. He gave physiological and psychological tests before, cut out parts and whole frontal lobes, the re-tested after. His conclusion: removal of part or all of frontal lobes causes no major change in brain function, (some change in mood alteration). The frontal lobes are mostly dormant, asleep. (Luria, A.R. "Frontal Lobes and the Regulation of Behavior." In: K.H. Pribram and A.R. Luria, Editors, Psychophysiology of the Frontal Lobes. New York, and London, Academic Press, 1973)

Finally, the human brain contains 10 billion neurons, mostly in the outer layer of brain cortex. the function of these currently dominant cells is fairly clear. but the brain also contains 120 billion glial cells. Aside from some secondary nurturing of neurons, the primary function of the glia is not clear. What big bang mirical awaits mankind within these mysteries?

Today, most would agree without argument that the potential of the human brain is infinite. Thus, to state that a person uses 10%, 5%, or even 1% of their potential brain capacity (infinity) is overly generous.

The point is this: There is no dispute among honestly rational experts about the latent potential of the human think box. There is only friendly dispute about how much and what still awaits us, patiently to be self-discovered between each set of ears. Hence, the wisdom of intuitive folksay was correct: "The human brain is only 10% functional." John Eccles thinks that number is too high. "How can you calculate a percentage of infinity?" "

Its an interesting subject and id like to hear more as to why you think otherwise!
C4nn4Bliss Reviewed by C4nn4Bliss on . Human Brain & The Universe I see that indeed the universe is a cosmic brain or the human brain is a miniature universe. The circuit pathways are the same. Conveying signals point to point. So then you see that if the Kingdom of God is the cosmos, the universe, then it appears to have been duplicated within us, just as Jesus said. You are not trying to make contact with a stone, you are trying to make contact with another brain. As it is in heaven so it is on earth. People who may not understand this see astrology as Rating: 5
