David Leonard 2022 Good Lord

 2022.9.12: news.wealth/music/psy/schiz/
David Leonard 2022`Good Lord:

. David Leonard's 2022 song, "Good Lord"

could have been about schizophrenia

(about telepathy with our god).

. he is glad to know the god;

but deeply embarrassed about what he has been;

and wishing he could warn others:

the god is easiest on those who have been

good all the time, 

not just good after meeting the god.

does copper improve or worsen schizophrenia?

2022.4.10: psy/schiz/diet/copper/
does copper improve or worsen schizophrenia?

summary:

. it was found in 1959 that ceruloplasmin, which carries copper,

could improve psychotic symptoms in many schiz'ics.

. however, it was also found that some measure of copper

is elevated in schiz'ia,

or in any condition causing chronic stress or fear.

. ceruloplasmin is used as a measure of copper

because 95% of blood copper is in ceruloplasmin

but ceruloplasmin is an acute phase reactant, 

increased during inflammation, infection, trauma, pregnancy, etc. 

. some who are assuming that copper is a cause of schiz'ia

are theorizing that ceruloplasmin may be 

catalyzing the oxidation of epinephrine 

to some psychosis-inducing indole-like material.

. but if ceruloplasmin can improve psychotic symptoms,

it is likely that the rises in ceruloplasmin 

are a reaction to the stress of schiz'ia,

and not the cause of it.

the definition of schizophrenia

2022.4.10: psy/schiz/the definition of schizophrenia

summary:

. schizophrenia as defined by psychiatrists

for diagnostic purposes.

. a bizarre delusion is a belief in something

that the dominant theorists consider impossible,

such as telepathy or magical abilities.

Helané Wahbeh`telepathy as one form of "channeling" "the Force That Connects Us All"

 2022.1.24: news.psy/schiz/Helané Wahbeh`
telepathy as one form of "channeling" "the Force That Connects Us All"
:

Wahbeh on the radio:

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2022-01-24-show/

Dr. Helané Wahbeh, Director of Research at

the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS),

https://noetic.org/

has a book in which she explains telepathy as

one form of "channeling" 

--which is consistent with my theory that

all forms of parapsychology

-- telepathy, prophets, evidence of 

reincarnation and the afterlife --

are actually communications with our god,

the Holy Spirit, the mind of the universe,

which includes Satan, the Great Deceiver.

are my thoughts useful? how do they behave?

20.6.25: tv.psy/schiz/are my thoughts useful? how do they behave?
Dr. Anthony Metivier:
. some people feel like their thoughts are too much;
oppressive streams of unwanted negative ideas;
antipsychotics and other drugs often don't help;
and atheism can be most unhelpful
[ I know I feel more control over
my thoughts and their effect on me,
when I realize they come from the supernatural,
not self].
. helpful paths include a study of:
Persistent Non-Symbolic Experience
refers to nondual awareness,
enlightenment, or mystical experiences.
-- see Jeffery Martin`Clusters Of Individual Experiences
Form A Continuum Of Persistent Non-Symbolic Experiences In Adults
Dr. Gary Weber 2018`Evolving Beyond Thought:
Updating Your Brain's Software.
http://happiness-beyond-thought.com/
http://www.spiritualteachers.org/gary-weber/
. the simplest method for quieting the mind
is to keep asking yourself these questions:
are my thoughts useful?
how do they behave?

happy birthday, mom!

2020.4.24:
first the god made the world
to hold our feelings,
then the god made humans
to appreciate our world;
and when I became fully human
I came to appreciate my mom
and the way she worked the garden of my life:
planting the seeds and pulling the weeds,
opening the light, and asking our god
for the attention a struggling life needs.
I'm thanking the god for this world,
these feelings, and my mom;
happy birthday 2020, mom!

#easter #goodnews the spirits influence our minds!

20.3.21: relig/judaism/psy/schiz/the spirits influence our minds:
3.23..24: summary:
. according to Jewish biblical authors
(including the first Jesus followers)
spirits, demons, angels, or the national god
-- with a mind of their own --
are influencing your dreams and thoughts;
suggesting that the mind is more like a
radio receiver than a computer,
exchanging data with supernatural stations.
. I list some examples of this from bible,
and review the scientific evidence that supports it.

#schizophrenia and PsychENCODE's lab-grown human brain organoids

2020.3.2: psy/schiz/PsychENCODE
Dr. Thomas Lehner for PsychENCODE
claims that some of the genes for schizophrenia
are unique to humans; that makes sense,
because one advantage we have over other animals
is a bicameral mind
where cognitive functions were divided between
one part of the brain which appears to be "speaking",
and a second part which listens and obeys.
. the schiz'ic can use this arrangement
to hear the voice of a god and other telepathies.

. we are actually experimenting on
living human brains, grown in a vat!
Laura Sanders 2018:
"Lab-grown brain organoids
mimic the real thing, analyses suggest.
Along with other parts of a large research effort
called PsychENCODE,
the organoid results may offer new clues about
psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia."

Pinocchio

web.psy/schiz/Pinocchio:
10.22: summary:
. before you are aware that the devil
influences your thoughts and emotions
you think of every thought as self,
and have an unquestioning allegiance to them;
you are a puppet of the devil
until you begin to question yourself,
then you become a human, like Pinocchio.
