    Brain synchronization

    I don't think I knew the term hemisynch, however, the material we (my mom and I) used to get from him Jonathan Parker | Guided Meditation Retreats & Self Help Programs was in some ways very similar. I listened to that video posted above -- and it sounded a lot like what Jonathan Parker used to...

    why did Apostle Mohammed waged war against other religions?

    The dispute is probably not from theological controversy, but in-group vs out-group thinking. They are not us, they are different, they are strange, we are rivals, we do not trust outsiders, etc. Happens over and over again throughout human history to this day.

    Brain synchronization

    I think I've heard of this in a few different contexts - I heard of something like it years ago, and more recently this modern phenomenon called "reality shifting" (well, at least, that some young people nowadays believe in it) is connected to this Gateway project. The Gateway Process - Monroe...

    Do Christians really belief in The Bible God of Jesus Christ?

    I've always been puzzled about how this might work. Does silence equal consent? Does tolerance of those behaviors enable those behaviors? When is it religiously appropriate to have a more assertive response? When is it religiously appropriate to set boundaries? Consequences for violating boundaries?

    Encounters with different beliefs when you were a kid

    I continued to attend the Methodist youth group for quite awhile, even though my peers there weren't very friendly. (People weren't friendly at school either. About 2/3 of the kids in the bible study went to my school, as they lived right there in the neighborhood, more or less, then there were...

    Encounters with other beliefs in young adulthood

    When I went to college I encountered people of various religious backgrounds. I think it might have been the first time being in an open social context with so many other religions - Islam and Judaism were pretty common on campus. My roommate was not very religious but said she was raised...

    Scholarly discussion about changes in biblical texts

    I think I had the book on it out of the library back when. I remember thinking it was interesting but the same questions applied - by that I mean the questions that always come up in my head when hardline fundamentalists make declarations - "How do you know" "What do you base that on" and just...
