Has Pseudo-Science, Faux-Academia and Secularized-Religion Chained and Enslaved You?

 Are you a prisoner in chains?  The image of a man's chained hands, brings to mind why my wife and I home-schooled our children, and are presently helping our daughters to home-educate our grandchildren.  Academia is based upon Scientism, which is dogmatic from an atheist perspective (see Science Vs Scientism http://KnowThyself.Nazirene.org#ScienceVsScientism ).  And in many respects, the problems with religion, is seen in the fact that it is based upon the dictates of secular (atheist) control that has not only condemned genuine spiritual religion, but has shackled mankind to lives of spiritual failure.  Perhaps one of the best evidences of this fact with respect to man's pseudo-science and the shackling effect of academia, is found in the subheading entitled Scientism And The Folly Of The NDE And OOBE Critic http://KnowThyself.Nazirene.org#NDE_Critic  (quoting):

We can easily demonstrate the inability to comprehend even the most basic of man's higher spiritual realities, when we examine the theory of the pseudo-scientific authorities who for purely ideological and philosophical reasons, strive to explain away the Near Death Experience (NDE) as the illusions of an oxygen starved dying brain -- attempting to totally ignore many important factors which they can't even begin to come to terms with. Why do the pseudo-intellectuals attempt to reject the validity of the NDE's that people have? Because if these Near Death Experiences are valid, then the whole foundation of modern junk-science promoted by pseudo-intellectuals is a fraud built upon a bogus-lie.

While it is true that many of the NDE's that people experience are limited to the immediate area of observing the dead body in the NDE, it is also true that there exists many other important accounts of NDE's that do not at all fit this mold -- and therefore, cannot at all be dismissed as a dying oxygen starved brain in the manner that the NDE critics attempt to do. And one of those important factors that the skeptic ignores, is the accounts of the many people who experience an NDE, who find themselves floating through what we perceive to be concrete walls, where they then are able to both view and hear what transpires in this physical reality from a remote location that is far removed from their lifeless dead body. Unlike the person who finds themselves merely floating above their body, these people observe and witness events that are taking place in other rooms, and sometimes at great distances from their dead physical body. There is documented cases where, during an NDE, the person is able to report conversations between people they did not know was present outside where their body was being resuscitated. Conversations that took place in other rooms that were far removed from the body in need of resuscitation. If a person who has died in an accident or during an operation is able to accurately convey not only the people present, but also their conversations and the events that transpired at a location that is removed and not in the same room as their lifeless body, then what this person experienced while dead cannot be rationally portrayed as an oxygen starved dying brain. Yet, not only does the pseudo-intellectuals who ignore the facts in order to promote their ideology fail to even acknowledge the many accounts where a dying individual found themselves floating through what we perceive as concrete walls to accurately repeat the events in a distant place or waiting room -- but there have been cases where a person who had an NDE found themselves drawn to a remote place many miles from where their lifeless body was, and was able to repeat and convey to others the people and events that transpired at this remote location. And because they can't explain the facts that their philosophical ideology inhibits them from acknowledging, their reasoning is fraudulent and bogus, and their intellectualism is counterfeit.

A rational mind would conclude that if there was any truth to the skeptics theory that an NDE is the result of the illusions of an oxygen starved dying brain, then the people would not at all be able to report conversations and events that transpired remotely from their body. But, in the manner of a typical True Believer, no amount of proof or facts could cause these skeptics to examine their opinions from the perspective of the mounting evidence that proves them to be in error. Why? To simply acknowledge this one point, would have the effect of forcing the skeptic to re-examine the whole framework of their thinking and beliefs. In fact, their whole Darwinist house of cards would come tumbling down before them. And that our educational system permits these pseudo-experts to promote their easily disproven opinions without being challenged, represents a virtual crime being perpetrated against young innocent minds, that the government schools force children to be programmed into a model of thinking that is easily proven to be a bogus fraud.

In addition to witnessing events and conversations that transpired at a remote location from the dying body, there have been numerous accounts where an encounter was made with a relative who the person experiencing the NDE did not know in that life. Quoting from one such account documented in Psychology Today: "I've just read Eben Alexander's recently published book Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into The Afterlife. Dr. Alexander tells a vivid story of nearly dying of meningitis, during which, he says, he experienced a full-blown near-death experience (NDE) in which he visited a divine realm filled with love and knowledge. I have no doubt that Alexander sincerely believes that he had the experience; a neurosurgeon who worked at Harvard Medical School isn't going to be a charlatan. He offers what is, within the story, evidence that it really happened: he met a woman whom he later found was his birth sister, now deceased."

In an account carried on ABC News Dr. Alexander presents his experiences: Deep in coma, his brain infected so badly only the most primitive parts were working, Alexander claimed he experienced something extraordinary: a journey to Heaven. "In every sense, of the word that's what my experience showed me," Alexander said. "My first memories from when I was deep inside: I had no language, all my earthly memories were gone," he said. "I had no body awareness at all. I was just a speck of awareness in kind of a dark, murky environment, in roots or vessels or something. And I seemed to be there for a very long time -- I would say years. "I was rescued by this beautiful, spinning, white light that had a melody, an incredibly beautiful melody with it that opened up into a bright valley," he added, "an extremely verdant valley with blossoming flowers and a just incredible, rich, ultra-real world of indescribable complexity." Alexander said there was a young woman who soared across time and space with him on a butterfly wing and gave him a message to take back from Heaven. "She looked at me, and this was with no words, but the concepts came straight into mind: You are loved; you are cherished; there's nothing you have to fear; there's nothing you can do wrong," he said. God was there as a vast presence of love, Alexander said, and Alexander understood God through an orb of brilliant light. "It was all of eternity and all of conscious existence," he said. "But it was this brilliant orb of light that was almost as necessary as a translator to bring in that message from the divine and the incredible." After he recovered, Alexander, who was adopted, was shown a picture by his biological family of a sister he had never met or seen before. He recognized the sister as the young woman from Heaven. "I looked up at that picture on my dresser that I had just got and I knew who my guardian angel was on the butterfly wing," he said. "It is the most profound experience I've ever had in this life." Of course, many would call Alexander's experience a hallucination -- but not him. "I know this is not a hallucination, not a dream, not what we call a confabulation," Alexander said. "I know that it really occurred, and it occurred outside of my brain."

Perhaps even more telling is the NDE account contained in the book Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of the Story by P.M.H. Atwater p. 37, where it is documented: "Four year old Jimmy John drowned in his parents' backyard swimming pool. He was an only child. Mom was in her late twenties; Dad was in his early thirties. Emergency crews arrived. Fifteen minutes later the boy breathed again. Mom was overcome with relief until Jimmy John blurted out for all to hear: "I met my little brother. He's over there', where I was, and he told me all about Mommy having him pulled out of her tummy when she was thirteen." This was not a grieving mother. Her abortion had long been forgotten. While her "two" sons became the best of friends, she had a nervious breakdown and her husband left her."

In yet another section of the foregoing book with respect to the accounts of children (from pp. 55-56) it is concluded: "Over half of the children experiencers in my research could remember their birth. Whenever possible I checked out those stories with parents, mostly mothers; I never found an error. One-third had pre-birth memory-most of those beginning at about six to seven months in utero. Medically, it has been shown that the fetus at twenty-six weeks or six months gestation experiences many sensations, including pain. This medical discovery of fetal awareness directly applies to the majority of children in my research who reported the beginnings of their memory as a soul resident in human form while still inside the womb. Some had recall of earlier than month six in utero, even of their conception, and of actively taking part as a spirit in choosing their own DNA. Most of those who spoke of remembering their conception also said they floated in and out of their mother's womb until finally 'settling in' when fetal formation was more complete (around the seventh or eighth month). It's scary what some children remember from their pre-birth experiences in the womb. Things like heated debates and arguments, conditions in the home, even how their mother felt about her own life-and her thoughts! Emotionally charged issues are remembered readily, especially if the child's welfare is threatened (like the possibility of an abortion or because of an accident or assault on the mother). And a missing twin-that 'extra' who was never born or died or was reabsorbed by the mother because of being damaged or malformed-that being can return in a near-death scenario. On occasion, the one who was aborted reappears."

In an article entitled Valedictorian Speaks Out Against Schooling by Erica Goldson, she writes: "I contend that I am a human being, a thinker, an adventurer – not a worker. A worker is someone who is trapped within repetition – a slave of the system set up before him. But now, I have successfully shown that I was the best slave. I did what I was told to the extreme." And then Erica Goldson concludes: "I will never be able to turn back these 18 years. I can't run away to another country with an education system meant to enlighten rather than condition. This part of my life is over, and I want to make sure that no other child will have his or her potential suppressed by powers meant to exploit and control. We are human beings. We are thinkers, dreamers, explorers, artists, writers, engineers. We are anything we want to be – but only if we have an educational system that supports us rather than holds us down. A tree can grow, but only if its roots are given a healthy foundation."

The fact that ideologues have a government ordained license to promote one philosophical school of thought, while censoring all other positions, is a crime that is not only being perpetuated upon our children -- but is unconstitutional. Yet, in the manner of what Erica Goldson portrays as "slaves to the system" that has been put into place by both sectarian and non-sectarian ideologues, we promote the spiritual death of our children even before they have had the opportunity to begin to truly live. Again, quoting Erica Goldson: H. L. Mencken wrote in The American Mercury for April 1924 that the aim of public education is not "to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. ... Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim ... is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States." Because crucial facts and information is being censored and withheld from the developing minds of children, the necessary centers of mind that must be nourished with higher impressions that give birth to elevated and higher areas of reason and intellect, remain dormant and atrophied. And sadly, it becomes near impossible to free the mind of its initial programming at a more advanced age, when the patterns of thought has already been set and fossilized. And when you come to understand that all essential truths in this world are often paradoxical -- immersed in a world of conflicting opinions and facts -- then you can begin to understand that the acceptance of one truth to the rejection of its opposite, is very much the eating of the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Duality that brings death -- i.e., "...let the dead bury their own dead" (Matt 8:22). 

The objective of the Original Gospel teachings that were suppressed by the Church of Rome, was to enable the person to gain entrance into the Kingdom that Jesus taught was within us (Luke 17:20-21), and learn directly from the Source (see The One Teacher http://BrotherOfJesus.org#TheOneTeacher ).  But counterfeit Scientism, in partnership with atheist-driven academia and spiritually impotent secularized-religion, has enslaved and totally alienated our children from even the very purpose of the life that they are presently living.  Fortuantely, the Original Gospel teachings that were suppressed by pagan Rome, have been restored at http://OriginalGospel.Ebionite.com .
