ONE FAMILY PLAN
Free Will?
Neurophysiologists Benjamin Libet and Bertram Feinstein measured the time it takes for a touch stimulus on a patient's skin to reach the brain as an electrical signal. The patient would simply push a button whenever they were touched. They found that the brain registered the stimulus in 0.001 of a second after it occurred. The patient reacted by pressing the button 0.1 of a second after being touched. However, they did not report being consciously aware of the stimulus or the pressing of the button for almost 0.5 seconds. The unconscious mind was making the decision before the patient was aware of the stimulus. In other words, they made the unconscious decision to push the button before they consciously decided to push the button. Their brains created the delusion that they had consciously controlled the action. This was not the case. It has been postulated that free will is an illusion.
"I think we have way overrated the brain as the active ingredient in the relationship of a human to the world. It's just a real good computer. But the aspects of the mind that have to do with creativity, imagination, spirituality, and all those things, I don't see them in the brain at all. The mind's not in the brain. It's in that darn field." (Valerie Hunt, Professor of Kinesiology at UCLA)
Retrocognition
Retrocognition is the ability of certain individuals to gaze into the past. "For three-quarters of a century psychic archaeology has been a reality. This new approach has done much to demonstrate that the time and space framework so crucial to the Grand Material world-view is by no means as absolute a construct as most scientists believe." (Stephen A. Schwartz)
As the present becomes the past, it still exists nonetheless... "The past is active in the present as a kind of implicate order." (Bohm)
"If, as Bohm suggests, consciousness also has its source in the implicate, this means that the human mind and the holographic record of the past already exist in the same domain, are, in a manner of speaking, already neighbors. Thus, a shift in the focus of one's attention may be all that is needed to access the past... the holographic idea suggests that the talent is latent in all of us."
"The famous Kentuckian clairvoyant Edgar Cayce pinpointed the location and described the historical role of the Essene community at Qumran eleven years before the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls (in the caves of Qumran)." (Talbot, p 201-202)
"Maybe in the holographic state in the frequency domain four thousand years ago is tomorrow." (Pribram)
Ghosts
"Many ghostly apparitions appear to be little more than holograms, three-dimensional recordings of some person or scene from the past... one theory about ghosts is that they are the soul or spirit of the deceased individual, but not all ghosts are human. There are numerous cases on record of individuals seeing phantoms of inanimate objects as well, a fact that belies the idea that apparitions are discarded souls... many [hauntings] appear to be less the product of unhappy earthbound spirits, and more just accidental glimpses into the holographic record of the past." (Talbot, p 203)
Recall that Christ walked through a wall while still in the flesh! It was not some ghostly body it was the new physics of a greater reality...
"On the evening of that first day of the week... with the doors locked... Jesus came and stood among them..." (John 20:19)
"A week later his disciples were in the house again... Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them... Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.'" (John 20:26-27) "Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." (Luke 24:39)
Nature's Mental Records: Past, Present, and Future...
"Nature herself has a memory. There is some indefinable psychic element in the earth's atmosphere upon which all human and physical actions or phenomena are photographed or impressed. Under certain inexplicable conditions, normal persons who are not seers may observe Nature's mental records like pictures cast upon a screen... often like moving pictures." (W.Y. Evans-Wentz)
Precognitive Information
"There is an enormous body of evidence that proves at least some future events are as easy to see as past events." (Talbot, p 205)
"Studies also show that precognitive visions tend to be of tragedies, with premonitions of unhappy events outnumbering happy ones by a ratio of four to one... The reason for this seems obvious. We are so thoroughly conditioned to believe that perceiving the future is not possible, our natural precognitive abilities have gone dormant… they only spill over into our conscious minds during times of crisis... That our 'sophisticated understanding of reality is responsible for our inability to both grasp and utilize the true nature of our relationship with time is evident in the fact that primitive cultures nearly always score better on ESP tests than so-called civilized cultures.'"
Dreams of the Precog...
"Before education came into the island [Isle of Man] more people could see the fairies; now very few people can see them." (John Davies)
"Studies show that from 60 to 68 percent of all precognitions occur during dreaming. We may have banished our ability to see the future from our conscious minds, but it is still very active in the deeper strata of our psyches." (Talbot, p 209)
The Predestination
"If the future is a hologram whose every detail is fixed, it means that we have no free will. We are all just puppets of destiny moving mindlessly through a script that has already been written." (Talbot, p 211)
Consider...
"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord." (Proverbs 16:33) "Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?" (Proverbs 20:24) "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will..." (Ephesians 1:11, KJV)
However...
While one claims to avoid disaster by heeding premonition, another claims to accurately foretell the future. How is it possible for the future to both exist and not exist? While reality may be a giant hologram with its contents containing a fixed past, present, and future, it may not be the only hologram. It is theorized that there are many... "Such holographic entities could also be visualized as parallel worlds, parallel universes." (David Loye)
"Thus, the future of any given holographic universe is predetermined... And when we act upon a premonition and appear to alter the future, what we are really doing is leaping from one hologram to another." (Talbot, p 211)
If every decision is of the Lord and the Lord's Image is Christ, the future Body of us all [Universalism]... If all of us are a part of God [nearly all Eastern faiths and most Occult beliefs], then it is we, the collective whole, which determines Past, Present, and Future... Free will is not as commonly perceived, for the whole is in control... it is the separatists that are left wanting..."
