Gee, this is my lucky day yog.
Now I found in you an expert in religions and spirituality.
Whoooooooooooooo.

Please yog help LR to understand.
What is the difference between religions and spirituality?

Quote:The glands don't have shit to do with anything. Where the pineal gland lies has fuckall to do with its function.
Whooo, whoooo, whoooo......this must be the discovering of the century and what has been discovered so far must end in the rubbish bin of history.
Everybody move away please.......yog is coming with the great bullshit discovery of the century.
Quote:As noted, it doesn't have the necessary nerves to communicate with the rest of the brain. So your notion that it being at the top of the spinal cord means anything is just a form of sympathetic magic, it's "like this" therefore it functions "like this." It isn't logic, it's pure rubbish.
Idiot.

Is not the pineal gland that need to communicate.
It is the consciousness that lie inside the pineal gland.
In any case nerves or not nerves that by the way are there anyway between the pineal gland and the brain the consciousness doesn't need to be connected to the brain via nerves.
In fact an abstract entity as the consciousness can not possibly be connected to the brain or anything else.
Abstract and physical-material things can not possibly have any physical connection.
Just imagine when you enter your car.
Would you get connected with your body to the wiring that are inside the car?
How stupid can you be yog?

Quote:Evidence. *snort* Everybody "feels" their consciousness to lie somewhere inside their head. The eyes that see are on the face, and the mouth that talks is as well, and the ears that hear are on the side, so it makes sense to visualize their controller as being inside the head. All that shows is that we are tied to our senses. It doesn't show that consciousness itself is physically located in a particular spot. As noted, this "spot" where you claim consciousness resides simply doesn't have the right kind of nerves for it to support consciousness there.
FOOL.
As you are not connected to the wiring of your car also the consciousness is not connected to any nerves.
You do not need to and so also the consciousness does not need to.
It is the pineal gland that need to be connected because physical get connected to physical but an abstract entity as the consciousness can not possibly be connected to something physical.
As the car move when you start it also your body move when YOU (your consciousness) decide to act.

You talk and talk about nerves connections and the brain as if the brain would have any say in how the consciousness works.
The brain is something physical yog while the consciousness is not.
Consciousness is the boss not the other way around so it is totally irrelevant what the brain can or can not do or the connections to or from.
When you enter your car you are not connected with wiring to the car and yet you are able to tell the car
what to do or where to go.
Quote:Without a gas pedal, brake, steering wheel, and ignition switch, you aren't going anywhere in your car. These are like the nerves in the brain, they carry the information needed to tell the car (your body) what to do. The only problem? The pineal gland has none of these nerves that tell the body what to do. It only has nerves to be told what to do. Consciousness directs; it isn't simply told what to do, so you are wrong.
Double FOOL.

Guess what yog?
It is a fact that when the pineal gland get calcified the brain get affected quite badly so that clearly means
that there are connections between the pineal gland and the brain.
Nerves or not nerves.
Quote:Your study showed that Alzheimer's patients show more calcification of the pineal gland. It didn't show that Alzheimer's was the effect of the pineal calcification, nor that the behavioral deficits shown in Alzheimer's was caused by the calcification. If you can't understand that simple point, then you don't understand scientific findings and you've got fuckall business quoting studies. Your study did not show "how it affect the person" at all. So your claim that it did is bullshit.
Wrong again yog.
Your comment clearly show that your knowledge on this issue is next to zero.
The very science that you glorify all the time clearly tell us that when the pineal gland doesn't work properly the brain get affected badly.
In this case when the Melatonin or enough Melatonin is not secreted you get many problems related to dementia.
Melatonin has been postulated to have diverse properties, acting as an antioxidant, a neuroprotector, or a stabilizer within the circadian timing system, and is thus thought to be involved in the aging process and Alzheimer's disease
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17097768
Quote:You're guilty of a fallacy for attributing cause to the correlation between calcification and Alzheimer's.
That means your thinking on the matter is NOT LOGICAL.
Sorry darling but science back me up as you can see above.

There was a time where the atom was the smallest thing but later on they discovered that protons, neutrons and electrons are even smallest but the study goes on and more information come to light all the time.
This universe is balanced by the positive and the negative in all aspect of life and these tiny particles
that compose the universe are therefore positive or negative.
You may or may not see these tiny form of existence but they are there for sure or this universe wouldn't exist so by our own attitude we attract these positive or negative form of life that eventually will make us sick or happy and healty.
Quote:More of Sarkar's nonsense, swallowed whole without critical thought by an idiot. We may not see them because they don't exist. Duh.
Dumb.

As love is attraction hate is repulsion nevertheless both thing have something in common and that is a
feeling that carry these sentiments.
This feeling is made of something invisible.
The fact that this feeling can not be grasped physically doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

For the last seven thousand years smart people experienced bliss and that even before religions existed
so religions have nothing to do with bliss or consciousness.
Quote:Well, well. Aren't we just full of dogma today? Your Ananda Marga bullshit about the difference between 'spirituality' and 'religion' is just that, bullshit. You don't know dick about what people were doing seven thousand years ago. It's just more dogma.
It is well known that religions pop up only after those who were teaching spirituality such as Shiva, Krishna, Buddha and Jesus.
These beings never teach religions.
In fact they all were against it.
Not because there were religions yet but because they knew that some opportunistic people would
turn their spiritual teachings into religious dogmas.
