I wanted to wait until I had time to answer you, because your questions here are excellent. There is a rule of teaching. The real student is their own teacher. The innate understanding that there is Truth, is the true students driving force. If the student is true then the teachers are true. My videos are all about "learning how to learn". Teaching you how you got indoctrinated and how to get free of that, by real personal knowledge and not by religion or any other concept.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:Replying to your post, I must say that you've got quite the philosophical mind. You say 'stop believing in anything', which is important here.
Believing is far different than knowledge. Knowledge requires that you get "outside" of yourself and become the objective observer of yourself and others.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:You're right so far, up to a certain point at least. I have did this. Shedding any belief. Nothing is true. Nothing exists. No one is right. Everything is wrong. Everyone wants to impose their opinion on you with the thought 'why should that not be so?' but they're the ones that need to present evidence, not I. I am not entitled to believe.
You are entitled to be the master of your mind and if you want it to be owned by other people, or society. You can chose to be free or to be the slave of your mind and beliefs not based in actual proven reality.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:I could only find what I feared, the confirmation that as human as humanity is, never has our primal nature been completely shaken off. It can rise at any time. What do they cause? Fear. Anger. Hate. I feared. I got angry. I started to hate.
This primal nature is what helps you survive when it is needed. What makes you kill without hesitation. What points out how extremely fragile living things actually are. And how important it is to survive. Survival as a person, and as a species. Self-preservation above all.
The choice to be reactive to life or to be in control of your mind. The mind (including the HEMG) that runs you life is not a good way to be. When your mind is under your control you are free to understand reality better. Needing to survive is built in to all creatures. It is the only driving force in nature that keeps all this going. There is no driving force or programming in creatures to evolve, only to survive.
There is no case in any evidence of any creature ever breaking the boundaries of their foundational genetics. All we see in all cases is creatures adapting to survive AS THE SAME CREATURES. There is no physical trail of evolution in which some creature has become a totally new genus. No fish has ever been shown to leave the water and become a lizard or become a mammal. There IS NO EVIDENCE on this planet. However, people's brainwashed beliefs have tremendous power to destroy all objective reason. The
Theory of evolution is one of those examples. There is no physical evidence of any evolution and yet they will tell you it is real.
I have asked all of them to produce even one piece of absolute evidence that is physical, irrefutable, having no other possibility, and has no opinions from belief in it. I ask for the obvious needed evidence and there is none. It is all based on beliefs. Every so called piece of evidence is refuted by other plausibilities and in many cases the other plausibility follows the evidence far better.
When you take a child and force a belief on them as in school, then put them out there in the world to do; those beliefs rule. All they see and understand is controlled by beliefs, not by objective reason. The Nazis were a perfect example of this.
How could any sane person believe that Jewish people are the cause of all bad on earth and needed to be exterminated? When the monster of group think and sideways logic takes a hold of people, it can do horrible things.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:It is this that fractured my mind. In a few weeks I became a different person. I'd like to think that it was the completion of myself as a person. I still add knowledge and experience. Knowledge is power, after all.
Real knowledge is not based on brainwashing, nor faith nor belief. It is based on what is absolutely proven to you. When most of what you know is nonsense, then beliefs run your life.
There are two things in life: 1/ The Truth and 2/ nonsense
There is no gray area on this. Most people live in nonsense controlled by base fears, society, and forced beliefs from the culture, parents, teachers, political crap, and religious ideas (including evolution).
To be free of all this nonsense is the goal of life. If you are not seeking the truth, then you are only seeking to perpetuate your beliefs. Once you realize that most of your beliefs are nonsense, then you are on your way to freedom and can get clear of your own nonsense. Getting clear of the religion of Evodelusionism is easy to do, because there is no evidence for it and it is pawned off as "science".
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:Philosophically, I found where I belong. I found people who are like me, who I never have met and some that I never shall meet. But the philosophy was the same. Exactly the same. The philosophy has a name. And is strangely enough an official religion, even though it is just philosophy.
It was necessary to be a religion. It is incompatible with any other.
If you read this:
http://evolutionforum.info/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1259526207 you will understand that religion, if it is the Truth, it will make you free. It doesn't force more nonsense on you. When scientist are forcing more nonsense on you based on nothing but belief, you are heading into deeper and deeper nonsense that is going to control you and limit you.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:when you say "Humans have a knack of creating crap where there is none. Then they feed this crap to young people in order to perpetuate their life. If you want to be free, then be free." you are right. sometimes people do teach their children lies as if it were absolute truth.
It is not sometimes. It is all the times. This is because people pass on their beliefs to their children for the "good" of the children. Most do not pass on the idea of learning what is real from what is not. They want what is best, but in most cases it is a cultural "best", not the ultimate best.
I was fortunate, in that I was not raised with any religion. My parents were unusual. My father taught me to never believe anyone, ever, because they all have agendas to perpetuate what makes them = them.
This gave me a far better advantage over others. Combined with extreme IQ.
I have only been a seeker of Truth all my life and have been able to study many things and never fall for beliefs based on no personal proof.
I have also studied many religions, most of science, and mathematics, physics, electronics, and many of the real sciences that have real and constant results. I never take on anyone's beliefs. I listen to them, then study to see if it has any evidence. Most of the time there is no evidence for any belief.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:These children would believe their parents, of course, for why should they not trust them? But is it not very strange that someone would have the same religion as their parents? I think that is very odd. Since there are well over 1500 creation stories and thus religions, the chance that you'd pick the same is small. But it is because your mind is poisoned that you'd pick the same religion as your parents.
I don't usually quote scriptures, but this concept is in many of the scriptures from all religions. "The sins of the parents are passed on to the children." When you realize the real meaning of "sin" as equal to the nonsense of beliefs in fantasy and ideas based only on survival and fear; religions, including Evodelusionism, you will understand that much of the "love" given can be detrimental to the child and in most cases is detrimental to free thought.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:"Who told you that an unproven theory is a valid concept, and who did you allow to define this to you. This is what humans have done to other humans for as long as they have existed."
Yes, I hate that. And that is why you have to do everything yourself.
This is what I teach and only what I teach. I teach people to think for themselves as I have been fortunate to live this way. You cannot trust anyone except your own self to be true. You must only be true to yourself and not to the forces of others.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:I tried (and still do occasionally) to study as much as possible on various subjects that seem important. I wanted to understand life. I still do, but I know a lot more than then. What are religious folk/scientists/psychologists telling you you should/shouldn't do? If they say something is good or bad for you, I take a look at it myself before handling according to their advice or ignoring it entirely. This I did with food and climate change, for example. First I'll see what people have to say about it. Then I need to see the core elements of it, and then I'll see whether or not there's an element of truth in it.
Once you understand the foundation of all truth, then it is easy to understand everything. In all my studies on every subject, I go to the deepest levels of understanding and if all the parts do not fit, I know it is not true.

Do you mean it's herd behaviour? That everyone does this? That would be the case very often, yes.
"There is no reality beyond what is in your mind, and what you allow to be created."
I feel great wisdom behind this. Could you elaborate on this a little? I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
The perceptions of your mind are projected on reality.
The world is a reflection of the conditions of your consciousness. What you see unfolding in your life, is you, your consciousness and your mind's filter is what you see. When you remove the filters over your consciousness, then you see the truth.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:"If you want to be free, stop believing people. Stop allowing them to own you."
I believe people only when I know that they're absolutely right. That is a healthy way of trusting what someone says. On this, you agree, I think. And I understand that believing what someone says makes them have some power over you, if that is what you mean with people 'owning you'.
The power you give away can be out of survival needs. Most of the time it is out of survival. When you get a PHD in nonsense and you life and income, is based on that nonsense, you are trapped. I see people like Ken Miller, trapped in this nonsense because of a forced adaption on their part, and surrendering to the nonsense in order to continue to survive. Once you declare your belief in public, make books on this, a
The video you posted, with mr. Berlinski, have you read the comments on YouTube on that video? They're quite intelligent, for a change. I also just received news of a new video from one of my subscriptions. It's called 'Falsifying Phylogeny' and is quite interesting.
Speaking of videos, I'd also suggest watching the 'why people laugh at creationists' videos. I watched all of them and they are both informative and entertaining. If only they'd teach science a bit like that in schools.
Also, going a bit further with the 'Falsifying Phylogeny' video, or at least sticking somewhat with biology and genetics (which I love anyway) if you're interested I'd say you could read at least the chapters 'Natural selection as a consciousness-raiser', 'Irreducible complexity', 'Group selection' and also 'tread softly, because you tread on my memes' and 'Does our moral sense have a Darwinian origin?' From the book called 'the god delusion' by Richard Dawkins. Some parts like the memes are very scientific and boring to read, but there are many interesting things there.
SkeleosCadevi wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 12:53pm:some other interesting things could be the conversation you had with others, as can be seen in full on http://leagueofreason.forums-free.com/fun-with-goodscienceforyou-t836.html
About this one I'd like to say that I get the impression that the subjects think humans evolved from apes, but that could be just me. Also it seems you do not know much about radioactive dating. So I'd suggest looking here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating
That one's basically what every teacher of physics should be able to tell you, that certain isotopes have a certain time when only half of it is left, and given this time you can apply this time backwards, in a way, to find out how old carbon based objects are.
Also there is Radiometric dating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiometric_dating
and Age of the Earth on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_Earth
or the discussion of one of your videos on http://forums.leagueofreason.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2028&start=0
The video in the third post is very interesting too.
I only just noticed they were both from the League of Reason.
You could also always watch some response videos to those you posted yourself. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S02Po6boGE
or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocd1VOvpndw&feature=related
and there's one thing on the fusion of chromosome #2 to be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi8FfMBYCkk
Could you please tell me what you meant with HEMG? I've never seen this term before other than as a protein. Or the name of a massage salon.
Also, now I've shared my story, or at least an important part of it, with you, I'd like to ask you to tell me why you are so aggressively talking with others online, I want to know why you tell everyone what you think. Certainly you can't happy just calling people names on YouTube and such? There are more fun things to do. Could you share your story on this with me? It'd help me understand.
About me again. I myself want answers, but I need to know more, about others as well as science, in order to ask the right questions. For the good answers can only come with the right questions.
This should give you enough to see and read and think about tomorrow. That is why I'll see if you've replied to me in two days. Not sooner. Not later. I hope you have a good day tomorrow
The details of deception are many. Once your mind is trained to see how this works, then all the smart rhetoric of believers, stands out to you. Your nonsense filter becomes accurate.
When people are looking at my videos and criticizing them, they must first understand them. In order to understand them one must actually listen to them and read all the annotations on them. So, far the "ears" are shut with most people who don't have a clue what I am saying. All they hear is that I am attacking their screwed up Evodelusion religion, so they try to pick them apart, when they have no clue what I said. This is why I tell people to listen to them over and over and eventually, maybe you will "get it".
