I tend to doubt that there's a big coverup. Re: FriendRob's comments: Is that it? I have non-Catholic friends simply refused research access... not once, but many times. What's there to hide? That seems a more natural conclusion.:cool: Why restrict access to non-Catholics?

A beautiful piece of writing, Ron. You unite the external domain of the cognitive and rational with the affective personal domain of self. The poem delineates a clear response in the soul as a result of the setting and your individual affective nature and nurture which you emphasise throughout...

it is different for every unique person. I agree, Kim. :cool:

Is man sentient? If so, can it be proven beyond reasonable doubt? If so, how? If the same rules we apply to proving the existence of God were to be applied to the existence of Man, then the conclusion that we are sentient beings is a subjective, rather than an objective one. Thanks for the...

Thankyou for a sensitive understanding of my points, Lunamoth: Perhaps I've misunderstood, but I think Blue has said that he(?) does 'believe' but he goes on to say that he did not arrive at belief through objective reasoning. And he suggests that no one else can get there through objective...

May I venture to suggest you harbour a grudge? ============= I hardly follow this point to any logical conclusion in Post 13. If a grudge, against what? As to claiming we live in world without Aesthetic standards and agreed judgements that have persisted for many a long year... that is...

I read your last post carefully, Aladdin, and sympathise with your questioning, but at least you are questioining and not just accepting blindly. I see the problem as being related to Monotheism in general. When this is related to ancient texts that were written by human beings for other...

Blue, that was rude of me. I have no right to imply arrogance of anyone, except me. And at times I have plenty. ========== Not at all, Quahom1. I don't think and didn't think you were being arrogant ot accusing me of arrogance, or any combination. I think you misread though. I answered...

Many thanks for replying, Aladdin. You seem, if I may say so, to have misunderstood the thrust of the post I made. You seem to imply I was saying the rational isn't necessary on one breath: "why anyone would not want to primarily deal with this world in a rational way," which is exactly...

The Vatican open up its archives, SacredStar? It will never do that! The Jesuits wouldn't allow it for a start.

There you go again, Ciel, failing to stand the harsh glare of reality and synthisise it with your creative affectivity! <<How many great and wonderful things would still lie dormant if man or woman did not allow themselves to transcend above subordinate rationality? >> Why 'transcend' the...

An excellent response, I thought, Painter. There is no question of mix and matching. Spiritual responses are always ruled by the affective nature and nurture of the individual. If something in Taoist thought, or Buddhism appeals and gels with a personal affective aspect of an individual...

Genetically and in every objective way, humanity is a selfish organism. That is a statement that can be evidenced via modern science and our inherent structures, through to our history as a specie. The morality of the 'selfless', the denial of self-interest, has been universally seen as...

The latter is not a denial of the interdependence of all material and measureable aspects within the human body.

Re: the Thread title and one of the original postings: <<It states that the heart thinks, feels, remembers, loves, and hates. It communicates the information and memory stored throughout its life to every cell in the human body. This is the astonishing theory being drawn from current research...

I should make it clear that genetic combinations and re-combinations are at the heart of the research, as well as identifying the function of any particular 'switched' on gene in a specific combination.

It seems to me we get confused when genetics are discussed by those with apparently no expert knowledge. My son is bio-geneticist involved in the Human Genome project, so - if you like - I have my own pet authority to fall back on. 'Sacred' has stated a view of the behaviour and perception...

I should have addressed a fundamental error in my view that appeared I think in Ciel's post. "To compose from the ethereal and spiritual opens a door between the two, allowing higher expression to filter through the objective. " It seemed to suggest there that the ethereal(?), poetic...

;) Ciel, Virtual Cliff, and our writer of dreams... You are, of course, all correct that personal affective concepts have a magnificent power over human behaviour... sometimes for good, and often for evil purposes. They originate in the individual heart, the affective nature and nurture. They...
