I do not quite agree with her categories, but she knows more than most.

Well they do say most people only use a small fraction of their brains.

That is not correct. All of the brain is used, but not at the same time.

Depends on the person I've not been under an MRI recently, is that the thing they use to asses that? Can’t remember.

Obviously what you just said is nonsense because the links must be maintained so therefore by your logic all of the brain is always used or none of it is.

Also I could tell you many stories where someone has had a serious brain injury and led a normal life even with part of their brain removed so, your statement isn't agreeing with that.

The brain is plastic. What is not used is lost. Your conclusions are not correct.

Well if you point out your qualifications in this area as a neurologist I may give you a little more credit for your comments.

Until then I say my brain is elastic nur nur

What is a wacky backy?
 
I did study biology, including animal physiology (including an exhaustive course on the function of the brain) and for the past month have been reading the ninth edition of the book Biological Psychology by James W. Kalat. When discussing the brain I know what I am talking about.

Sheesh, guys... reel 'em back in.  Honestly, we don't really care and if we did, we could always just look here.  See... it's even in simple terms so no one has to be a neurologist to understand.

And Rule... this is "wacky backy".

This is why I said 'They' I can always blame them.

Now all I need to know is just how plastic my brain is? Where is the yield point if I put it in a vice?

Thank you for responding, FC,
 
I was hoping the title chosen for the thread, would ease some of the insinuation, that I personally know, or have some sort of power over what is going on. I assure you; I don’t.
 
I never meant to imply that I know anything. The truth is, I feel as though, I know nothing, and it has been a constant theme throughout my life. So much so, that when I was told I had passed the NH, G.E.D “to perform as effectively in the workplace or in higher education as the top 3% of traditional high school graduates”, I needed a friend explain to me, exactly what that meant. For some reason, my mind automatically assumes; it must have been graded on a bell curve, or they got my scores mixed up with someone else’s.
 
No matter how hard I try to fit in, whether it is by going with the flow, or being myself; I have never belonged. Not even in my own family.
 
I claim to be nothing more then a messenger of balance. I started saying this simply because, I have always played “the middle man”; I have a odd aptitude for a sense of balance, and the only thing that I have ever been told I do well, that I can actually get a sense of what is meant by it, is write.
 
More recently, I realized my birth time and date are within seconds of what I would call a numerical model of balance connected to balance, by infinity 6 9/8/69. (Actual time 5:59.)
 
There is a shit load of other crazy little coincidences I could list, but I think I would only bore everyone, so I’ll refrain.
 
As I said before, I do not blame anyone for not believing, I was living it and still didn’t believe. Then I asked for something, anything, to clue me in as to whether or not I was making any sense in where I thought I was heading, and the ideas I have been translating on these boards.
 
On 3/6/08, two weeks before Easter Sunday, while riding in the car with my oldest son; I happen to notice about 3 or 4 fairly thick streams of sunlight coming down from the sky, (nothing unusual). I had followed the streams back up to the sun, and saw it was completely covered by a very dark storm cloud. About a foot, or two (earth perception), off to the right, was an even bigger, dark storm cloud.
 
I was driving, so I looked back down at the road, and then up at the cloud again. The cloud over the sun, had moved to the left, reveling about 2-3in of the sun. Sitting nestled in the larger cloud, that then looked, lined in silver, at approximately a 45% degree angle, above and slightly behind the sun; was a city of rectangular buildings, that shown, lined in gold, surrounded by a castle wall. There appeared to be windows in the buildings; longish rectangles, that looked black against the brightness.
 
I looked back down at the road, thinking, there is no way, I just saw what I think I did.
 
My son had also been looking up, and just as I finish my thought, that it must be true; I am going crazy, he said, “Mom, did you see that castle?”
 
All I could say was “yes, I did ….”
 
I looked back up; the sun was even more exposed, and the city was starting to fade into the cloud. Then suddenly the brightness over took it, and it washed away in the cloud.
 
I am hoping that sharing this might help some see, why I felt I must share what I’ve been feeling. As of yet, I have not heard of a story where someone was shown a “promised land”, and was not able to go there, unless they did not do as they were instructed.
 
I once made the statement here, that man is destroying faith; that was an inaccurate statement. Faith is being destroyed, but the act is being conducted by the slaves of Satan, the destroyer, and they do it, by convincing people to snub their own flames, with all the lies they spread. Those homeless you see on the street that refuse to do anything for themselves; that’s them. That is what is happening to those who are being sent to fight in Iraq. They are creating an army of empty (soulless), soldiers. I finally figured out why watching that marine tossing the puppy bothered me so much; he has become “a bottomless pit”. That, and I have an immense fear of “falling”.  
 
I thought it was strange that so many would admire the very thing that wishes to destroy them, and then I realized, it is because they are what those people were designed to be; the leaders of this world; but it seems many have been convinced, they are unfit for the job. (I can relate to that.)
 
The world is not ending, it is changing; all I meant to ask for, is for you to have faith in yourselves; for the leaders to lead, and the followers to follow them, so that they do not inadvertently follow the “pied piper”, into oblivion.
 
As for what will happen to me, I am still pretty much in the dark about that. I feel as though I am becoming a leaper amongst the self proclaimed “freaks”, and it’s not really a happy place to be. At the same time, I feel exausted; yet, as tired as I am, I don’t have it in me to give up, either.
 
Even more troubling, I am unsure of what will happen to my kids; if what I say is correct. I sense the two youngest will be staying here; they were not with me to see the city, and they are strongly connected to their father. I don’t think he would fair well, without them. And my oldest did not actually see the city, only the castle wall that surrounded it.
 
I am not concerned about many that post here, their own convictions and common sense will help them get through the things I precieve to be comming. Its just that you guys are the first people I've ran across in my time here, that actually made sense to me, and it seemed to me, if I were not suposed to tell you, there was no one else to tell.
 
I am sorry for screaming in your ears; it is my fear for those who will follow the wrong path, which makes me act so.
 
My best,
 
k

I haven't posted in a long time, but I read then re-read your post and wanted to throw in my 2 cents. (or one cent whichever its worth.)  I almost agree with your theory but rather than think there are all these different types of people I like to think that each individual possesses ALL of these traits and we make the choice to allow one trait to dominate over the others.  In certain ways we are all slaves, leaders, builders, destroyers and creators and each one of these can be useful to us at the appropriate time. 


I think this is a much better way of explaining what I meant. (I tend to confuse myself sometimes, when I try to articulate what I feel. Thank you.) 

quote:

Take relationships for instance.
In our own hearts and minds we all "create" the type of relationship we want.
When we meet the right person we begin "building" it.
Whether we consider ourselves slave or leader; at some point each of us can assume either role and either serve the other or lead the other.  (I am saying sometimes leaders serve and sometimes slaves lead)
And when a relationship is obviously not working someone has to be the "destroyer" of it and say when enough is enough.


Yes, it is a pattern I see in many things, perhaps all. There is also a lot of mirroring going on here. The teacher is the student, the leader follows the hearts of the followers, find you in others, look for others in yourself. On and on, it is like that.

There is purpose in the symbolisms, if one can not believe in it themselves; know, your present leaders do, and ask yourselves why?

Fun fact, I am sitting here claiming to be a messenger of balance, and balance is justice. Did you know that astrologers believe that the constellation Virgo’s place over the Earth, covers a large portion of America; a large portion resting over the east coast? Can you guess who stands tall in a certain NY harbor?

quote:

I would not value any one of these qualities over the other. (not even the destroyer)   If they are used the right way they reap good results.  If they are abused then the results can be devasting.


Again I agree with your statement. The message of balance is about truth, acceptance, respect, and responsibilities. It is the stuff I have been talking about for months; the stuff I learned from posters here.
 
I do realize where I went wrong there; in effect, I was pointing out that the gods wanted to be gods, and calling them bad, for it.
 
The thing is, I only look like a god to you; in my very being, I am a slave to the core. One who is really missing her master, and just wants to go home. I am here as a pet, to learn your ways so I can help you to desipher the secrets that have been hidden from you, in an attempt to confuse the masses in to denying their truth.
 
I apologize for being so rude, I didn’t realize what I was doing.

Edited to add, meaning the position I hold, not me the human.

 
My best,
 
k

And  she stated in her last post that NO-ONE on this site is shows the quality of a builder.  I disagree.


I am finding it difficult to explain the different categories that I note above.
 
It is best describe if one is to only focus on the goal of evolution. There are three different types of playing fields.(noted above) They are actually the representation of In, Out, Up; father, son, holy spirit; yin, yang and infinity, when the two become balanced.
 
There are limitations and advantages in each field, to those whom exist there, depending on each individual’s purpose.
 
The purposes are the list of five I mentioned earlier, there are concentrated amounts of each type of purpose, in each field and each individual is likely to experience all of them at some point in their life, while having a general theme throughout.
 
The mention of the five categories in the OP was meant on the plain of evolution; in other words, there is a group whose main purpose is to deceive and destroy.
 
The only way they can do this, is if a being tries to deny their inner self, therefore allowing themselves to be led astray. I am beginning to think, some humans have many to choose from, but I can only guess.
 
All living things are beings, and no being is the body (house) they live in, they are the energy that makes the body operate. Each being is given appliances (capabilities), according to their house, and purpose, and the purpose of their house.
 
All houses come into existence connected to the main source of energy. If you think of “heaven” as a power plant, the creator is the energy that exists within the power plant.
 
Humans seem to be connected the least, some so little, they have no notion of the idea. They are like this, because to experience the creator, would cause them to falter in their own capabilities of being gods; evolution would stop. Like me, they would have no sense of direction without someone telling them where to go. It would defeat their purpose.
 
The designated destroyers and decievers I mentioned earlier, are the things that nightmares are made of. They have been cut off, inorder to preform their task, in evolution; the learning prosses of fully understanding balance/love/life; it is the real meaning of justice.
 
They agreed to do this for the greater good. It was considered an honor. However, the whole prosses is maddening. They are rabbid beast, and can think of nothing but to destroy until they are finally put out of their missery.
 
The creator is not "good" nor "bad", it is purposeful, and having purpose means being responsable.
 
My best,
 
k

I maintain that my first post in response to this thread still stands. Also that some people have no idea what evolution is.
