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.

. the simplest method for quieting the mind
is to keep asking yourself these questions:
are my thoughts useful?
how do they behave?

the most important directive of the Torah
20.5.20: relig/judaism/
the most important directive of the Torah:
Reform Judaism Rabbi Josh Weinberg 2020.5.19:
is that "free will" comes from the spirits;
the supernatural makes demands on us,
and it becomes very painful to ignore those demands;
both liberty and pleasing our god
mean the same thing:
following the will of the supernatural.
. even loving one’s neighbor as one's self
is concerned with
following the will of the supernatural
as it pressures us to protect similar beings
who follow the will of the same god.
. thus nothing is more basic than
Deuteronomy 6: 4-5:
4 Give ear, O [the prophet's people]:
{Adonai, Adonoi, The Lord(owner, master, guardian)}
our god is one: [ie, the god of gods:
the will of the supernatural
shall be the same for all of us:]
5 And our god Adonai is to be loved
with all your heart, soul, and strength.
. here is the meaning of that command:
the supernatural comes to us with a variety of ideas;
some of which are contradictory,
eg, the supernatural wants some to gain by cheating
only to want others to discourage cheaters.
. thus there are limits to liberty,
as the god cannot have
what the god later regrets;
therefore, knowing the god is one,
that we all hear the same god,
and not a cacophony that would bedevil us,
is more basic than liberty.
. on the other hand,
if your people and my people
cannot agree on the same god;
truly then, nothing is more important than
liberty to love our own god and not yours.
. but what about world peace?
therefore, we should design our god of gods
to meet only the most basic needs
to require the fewest loss of liberty.
but can we really agree?
. some assume abortion saves a child from
the abuse of subconsciously feeling resented;
while others assume such euthanasia is murder.
. some feel abortion saves the world,
as it is the only way of reducing population
and building wealth that helps with peace.
. the 3rd alternative, by the god I promote,
is to communalize child production
and vote on how many children a person can have.
. each commune can have their own vote
(I join where they let the entertainers and scientists
do 80% of our breeding!)
but there are limits to the poverty of a commune:
a commune that is spending more on unemployment
than on education, needs to demand that
the commune as a whole has fewer children.
. if a commune has trouble with compliance,
they need to start restricting the men involved
rather than euthanizing their children.
. we can afford a few mistakes
without making the kids feel resented,
because we are all coming together to
finance and babysit the commune's children.
. communes don't need to share a house;
but sharing childcare is easier if you live nearby;
they only need to share a newsletter.
. but this also means that parenting is allowed
only if some commune agrees to adopt you;
a parenting club with enough members
to cover the costs of unemployment.
. it's true, isn't it?
nothing is more important than liberty;
not even the care of the children.
give us liberty from liberty.

loving one’s neighbor as one’s self.)

healthy cows eat grass and make methane

/healthy cows eat grass and make methane:
Israeli Researchers Cut Air Pollution
by Reducing Gas Output from Cows
[Judy Siegel-Itzkovich 2020 May 14]
. the author of this news supposes that
if a researcher studies the origin of cow germs
(diet vs germs given by mother)
it must be to control a greenhouse gas,
but I couldn't find such a concern
mentioned in the reference;
and, that is as it should be; because,
healthy, happy cows eat grass not grains;
and fermenting grass makes a lot of methane.

those of fertile women before month's ovulation.

1918 flu pandemic a #WWI #bioweapon? bleeding from high-dose aspirin
20.5.1: health/immunity/1918 flu pandemic
/H1N1 with bleeding from high-dose aspirin:
summary:
. the 1918 flu pandemic was an H1N1 virus;
there was some who suspected it was a bioweapon
and not just the flu;
because a lot of bleeding was involved,
as if it was hemorrhagic fever virus
meant to influence the current war (WWI);
however, there was a new popular fad at the time,
of taking very high doses of aspirin
as it it had only recently been discovered;
and they unaware that it was the aspirin
that was causing the same sort of bleeding
that is caused from scurvy or low vit'C.
. historian on @scifri radio said
the 1918 pandemic was able to kill just the young
because it caused an autoimmune reaction;
so, the stronger you could attack the virus
the stronger you would attack yourself.

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.
