How does a child who has been programmed to practice a religious belief live the life he or she desires without removing the psychological trauma and chains of that religious belief? They don't. Living in the shadow of religious belief impacts the believer's ability to discover their true self and nature in many ways. Depending on which religion you were indoctrinated into, depends on the level of restrictions that may play into your activities of daily living. Your religious restrictions may include no sex before marriage, forced tithing, no same sex relationships, no abortions, no dating outside your ethnicity etc., and the list goes on. Living the under the influence of strong religious beliefs hinder and literally prohibits self-discovery. Religious cults often come with a set of norms, values, and expectations that members are encouraged or required to adhere to. This creates pressure to conform to a certain way of thinking, behaving, and expressing oneself. As a result, we suppress aspects of our identity that do not align with these expectations, preventing us from exploring our true nature. Some religious doctrines might classify certain behaviors or thoughts as sinful or morally wrong. This leads to feelings of guilt and shame when our natural inclinations or interests go against these teachings. To avoid these negative emotions, you will suppress or deny these parts of yourselve, inhibiting self-discovery. This is not natural behavior on any level.
Religious beliefs discourage questioning and critical thinking, especially when it comes to challenging or examining those beliefs. This hinders the development of a person's analytical and introspective abilities, which are crucial for self-discovery. Religions provide a sense of belonging and identity that is externally defined. This can make it challenging for individuals to differentiate between their own genuine beliefs and those that have been imposed by their religious upbringing. True self-discovery requires internal exploration and understanding rather than relying solely on external validation. Self-discovery involves personal growth, change, and evolution od mind and body. Religious beliefs discourage change or growth that does not align with established doctrines, making it difficult for individuals to embrace new aspects of their identity that often emerge over time through natural maturity. One does not need religion as a moral compass for self-exploration, introspection or to have personal meaning in one's life. It is man's innate desire to proceed in honor and respect for his fellow man. Because religious beliefs are overly restrictive or stifling, individuals struggle to fully understand and express their authentic selves.
Strong religious beliefs result in a narrow perspective on the world. When you are only exposed to one particular way of thinking, you forego the opportunity to explore alternative viewpoints, cultures, or lifestyles. This lack of exposure limits your understanding of yourself and your place in the world. Religious communities are highly insular, and the fear of rejection or ostracism from one's religious community discourages individuals from openly exploring aspects of their identity that do not align with the community's beliefs. This fear and hinder self-discovery and lead to a sense of internal conflict. How can you live the life you choose in the shadows of religious belief? You cannot. If you are or have experienced any of the concerns I have stated and pointed out in this review, please join us in our discussions regarding these very issues.
The primary reason Christians and people of other faiths don't let go of their religious belief easily is because their belief was not a choice. Just as a man does not choose to be male and a woman does not choose to be female, most of us did not choose the religion we were programmed to believe. The belief becomes hardwired during early development in our subconscious when the mind is most receptive, flexible and open to information. Think of the infant mind you once possessed as a tube of unopened glue ready to be opened and applied to an object. When the glue is first opened it is a highly flexible pasty liquid. It can easily be squeezed out of the tube and applied for whatever purpose. After a period of time, the glue hardens to the object it was applied. Once hardened, it is difficult and sometimes impossible to remove the glue. Often it will require a soluble or solvent to remove the attached glue from the object. The glue that remains in the tube will harden if the cap is left off, but remain a highly flexible pasty liquid if the cap is placed back on. Now, apply the glue example to the initial flexibility of our minds as infants. Like the glue, our minds harden to beliefs and concepts we live by after years of programming and development. The problems arises when the glue/mind has been applied, solidified and attached to lies and incorrect information.
FEAR, IGNORANCE AND A DIRECT ATTACK ON HUMAN EMOTION IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL RELIGIOUS BELIEF: I have yet to think of a force more powerful on Earth than Human Emotion. It is the controlling factor of all religious belief. A Belief is a lie, story or fable agreed upon by two or more people capable of being interpreted in multiple ways by multiple individuals, while incapable of being verified as fact. THE CORNERSTONE OF ALL RELIGIONS! The fear of an external god, Satan, Sheol, Hell and eternal damnation is what Christianity offers its believers. These scare tactics are a direct hit on Human Emotion. Once a believer has succumb to the crosshairs of this religious dogma, the believers offspring is born into the immediate victimization of the cult religion. And yes, Christianity meets ALL the elements of a cult. It is not looked upon that way because of its size and influence.

In review of the Five Stages of Grief and letting go, I am going to share with you my personal experience as an Afro-American male born and raised in what is known as the Bible Belt of the South. I was the kid that enjoyed pleasing my parents, did what I was told and honored them just like my bible told me. My mother and father were good to me and all six of us children, so trying to do right by them was not very difficult. Having a loving mother and father made it even more difficult to let go of my strongly held programmed Christian beliefs. But critical thinking, knowledge and common sense gave me no choice. When we as human being are dealing with the loss of loved one, news of a terminal illness, or leaving a long-term loving relationship we are not ready to let go, we often go through what is known as the five stages of grief. These stages are not necessarily experienced in a linear or sequential order, and individuals may not experience all of the stages. Grief is a highly personal and unique experience, and different people go through different processes. I only point this out because letting go of a strongly held religious belief consist all five stages of grief. I can only walk you through my personal experience and what I went through in letting go of my strongly held religious belief when I was controlled by Christianity.
STAGE I: The First stage of grief almost all of us deal with is Denial. In dealing with the truth I had discovered about the religion I was indoctrinated into and programmed to believe from childhood, I felt a sense of loss knowing I would not be able to continue practicing the European tradition and lies I was programmed to believe. I initially refused to accept the reality of the truth and supporting facts I had come to know. I tried to find information that would refute the information I was learning about the creation of the bible to continue to confirm my belief in Jesus Christ and the God of the bible. I was shocked, numb, and remained in a state of disbelief because everything I was told about Christianity turned out be be a socially acceptable feel good Lie. But as I continued to recognize I was not alone and not the first person to go through this process (with no support from my family), I surrounding myself with other Afro-Americans who were loving and supportive during my transition. I cannot say that for my brainwashed family members who refuse to look at the Satanic ritual of human sacrifice, eating of human flesh and drinking of blood they continue to practice.
STAGE II: The Second and most intense stage of grief I experienced was Anger: Where do I begin. The primary source of my Anger was the fact that I was lied to by my parents from birth and had been living this lie ALL OF MY LIFE just as they have and continue to do. I made very serious decisions concerning the Life I would live based on nothing more than religious Lies. I abstained from sex, based on those Lies. I got married based in those Lies. I gave thousands of dollars to the church, based in those Lies. I turned the other cheek, based on those Lies. I prayed to a God that never listened based on those Lies. I believed in a White Jesus who never existed, based in those Lies. I lived in Fear of Hell, based on those Lies. I have since lost the deep connection I had with my mom and siblings based on those Lies. So yes, I hate the religion of Christianity I was mislead to believe in with every bone in my African Melininated body and I will fight to make sure the next generation does not suffer under these lies and deception as I did. You DO NOT NEED any religion to live Moral and Honorable life.
STAGE III: The Third stage of grief I experienced was Bargaining: In the process of bargaining, I heavily researched religions to try and find out which religion was the true religion inspired by an external God that loved me. I found myself contemplating "what if" or "if only" there is something else to replace the religion I have lost? I began the study of and settled with Buddhism because it was not considered a religion, but more a spiritual journey of self discovery. The more I read, researched, and investigated the religion of Christianity and many of the major religions, the more I confirmed that all religions are a product of man's deceptive imagination. And not one of these man-made religions are inspired by any God. So I no longer feel the need to negotiate or make deals to reverse or alter the outcome of that which I have come to know.
STAGE IV: The Fourth stage of grief I experienced was Depression: I experienced a deep sense of sadness, despair, and emptiness. I was saddened by the fact that the social circles I once frequented would no longer be accessible. The people I considered my friends had no interest in knowing the truth I had come to discover about Christianity. The void I felt having to leave a religion I once believed in was substantial. My entire life would need to be restructured, I began to develop relationships with new likeminded friends seeking the truth would need to be discovered. Prior to that I was knowing a feelings of profound loss, loneliness, and hopelessness. I recall looking at people as Zombies and Idiots who could care less about the truth. The same issues I ran into when studying the truth regarding various laws of this country. As time passed and through continued and dedicated research and investigation, I began aligning myself with Afrocentric college educated researchers, teachers, professors and scholars that have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of hours of investigative work to expose the truth about the history of Christianity to Afro-Americans.
STAGE V: The Fifth Stage of Grief I experienced was Acceptance: The process of accepting that the religion of Christianity and all other religions are man-made and not the word of any external god was gradual and life changing for the greater good. My personal commitment to know the truth surrounding religious belief and exposing the same became my mission. Building this website has been emotionally challenging but very therapeutic. And yes, I have shed a few tears along the way. Although I know I have "gotten over" the loss of the epigenetic psychological connection I once had to religious belief. I know the God of the Universe and Consciousness has brought me into this dimension to help free other Afrocentric conscious minds from the evils of all cult religions, particularly Christianity. However, I do miss the "loss of connection" I once had with members of my immediate family. But that is something I must accept if I am to be the change for future generations. Therefore, I will spend the balance of my knowing in this waking state vivid dream and low vibration third dimensional realm uncaging the imprisoned minds of my Afrocentric brothers and sisters who remain trapped in their belief due to an epigenetic memory and programming. My primary goal is to bring us back to the greatness I have come to know of our ancient African ancestral history that will vastly improve our current psychological or economic condition in THIS LIFE.
MEMORY IS THE ENEMY OF THINKING BEYOND PROGRAMMED BELIEF: In order to begin the process of letting go of a strongly held religious belief, you must first recognize where your resistance to receive and accept new and unknown information regarding the belief comes from. Your resistance is a product of the most powerful force on Earth, Human Emotion. Human Emotion is the precursor to every thought, memory and belief you will ever have and every decision you will ever make. Human Emotion is the God of your belief and the confirmation bias that supports that belief. Human Emotion defines your desire to know or not wanting to know a thing outside the belief. Christianity and all other religions use Human Emotion in its propaganda of fear of an external unseen, untouchable all knowing deity called god for control over your life.
Have you ever heard the saying, "I'll believe it when I see it?" For Christians and other religions the saying is "I see it because I believe it." Religious Belief contradicts common sense. I have learned that Christians and other religions are not interested in knowing the truth about their belief. That's why people strongly believe what they cannot prove and strongly disbelieve what they cannot disprove. How does religious belief survives in the mind of the believer? For belief to thrive, the believer IS NOT to engage in thinking outside the parameters of the belief itself. Belief requires the believer not to use basic critical thinking skills. The believer is not allowed to question the belief. If the belief is questioned, the believer must answer the question within within the parameters of the book from which the belief is contrived. The believer is relieved and discouraged from any and all thinking outside the book from which the belief is practiced. The believer is prohibited by scriptures written in the book from discovering and knowing any information outside the belief that would contradict the belief. The believer must be so consumed by the belief, that even when the belief can be used as evidence to prove its falsehood. The believer must ignore this fact and default to faith. That is why belief can only thrive in the realm of the supernatural and dies when construed against facts grounded in reality.
Not a single one of the 4,200 plus religions being practiced today are based on factual empirical evidence to support the existence of a supernatural extraterrestrial deity, except for individual imagination. Particularly Christianity, which is the Amazon of all religions in light of the historical blood baths. Christianity became the Amazon of religions as result of the Greco-Romans conquest of foreign lands allowing them to forced their beliefs on the conquered. Therefrom, unlike all other religions, they sought to market their religion to the world with the use of missionaries. Fast forward to today and my Afrocentric brothers and sister throughout the diaspora are still living under Jim Crowe Jesus Christ religious hypnosis. Why? Religious Imprinting that's why. Your belief in a white risen savior WAS NOT YOUR CHOICE! Like me, you were programmed to believe in the slave masters White Jesus you currently worship. What reason would a European conqueror have to allow an African King retain the richness of his ancestral spirituality? None. I ask that you take a common since approach what to has been given to us and ask yourself. Why do I believe in white Jesus? Is this my-story or his-story? Is this what my ancestors practiced? Go within to answer these questions and take a real hard look at the religious journey created for you by the Europeans.
Knowledge Crushes the Fear of Letting Go of a Strongly Held Belief: One of the most difficult times in my life I have ever experienced was the letting go of my strongly held programmed Christian religious beliefs. The anxiety and fear I experienced was as real as the God, Satan and Hell I was taught to believe existed. The fear of hell and damnation for all eternity if I did not love and worship the god of the bible was engrained in my innocent unsuspecting Mind from birth. Now, if I am being honest, the word Christianity repulses me more than America's unjust justice system. I'd rather appear in a Courtroom than appear in a Church, and Courtrooms have always felt vile, dirty and corrupt to me. I now understand why churches have been referred to as "The Synagogues of Satan."
Before I became a man able to walk away from all religious belief, I went through psychological hell and mental torture. I can remember the fear I had in my gut from the thought of letting go of the god of the bible I was taught to belief in. As I type these words in this moment, I am being overcome with emotions thinking about what I went through. I am teary eyed right now because I still feel the anger I felt when I learned of the deception I dedicated my every thought too in my decision making as a young man. I was in constant fear of the negative judgment I would face if I were disobedient knowing that the god of the bible had already cursed black people for their alleged disobedience. Maybe that's why the external god I prayed to that never showed up in my time of need because I was doomed to hell anyway no matter how obedient to god's word I would be. My works did not matter.
My fear of the god of the bible, Satan and Hell was as real to me as me knowing I am a Man. Let that sink in for a moment. Christianity was literally a type of Brain Tumor that metastasized as a Cancer into my subconscious Mind from birth. But now, I no longer believe in the god of the bible, Jesus Christ, Yahweh, Yoshua, Yehovah, Satan, Hell or any of that biblical bullshit no more than I could be convinced that I was born a female with a penis. It was up to me as a man and a thinker to rid myself of the Cancerous Christian Curse I was indoctrinated into by feeding my Conscious Mind and Body organic true knowledge. After years of right knowledge, research and ongoing investigation, the Christian brain tumor I once had shrunk to nothing and I have been Christianity Cancer and religion Free for more than 20 years. I aim to assist and help my deceived Afrocentric brothers and sisters who are struggling with their faith and want to know the truth do the same.
From Birth, every new born infant is subjected to whatever Beliefs the Parent or Guardian Programs and Teaches: At birth we are given a Gender, a Name and a Religion. The brain of a new born infant is a blank slate waiting to be programmed by the parent or guardian. Whatever programming it receives from its parent determines the limiting beliefs that will govern its behavior. Just think for a moment, you as a programmed Christian will pass judgment on women born in Iraq who are forced to cover her face, except for her eyes and entire body while in public all in the name of her religion. In this moment, a black woman claiming to be Christian could not imagine such a ridiculous concept being imposed on you. You would not be able to make such a claim if you were raised from a infant to adulthood as a Muslim in Iraq and under their religion belief system. As an Afro-American female, your claim to be a Christian is a product of your enslaved ancestors passing on to you what the slave master gave them. They did not choose that religion and neither did you.
As of the year 2021, approximately 7.8 Billion human beings are roaming planet Earth. Of that, 7.5 Billion practice a religions belief! That's literally the entire world population living their lives based on someone else's belief, ideas and concepts. Christianity got its roots from Judaism, while Judaism got its roots from other historical scrolls such as the Emerald Tablets and the Sumerian Scrolls that predate the Torah by more than 6,000 years. First and foremost, all of the 4,200 plus religions currently being practiced throughout the world are grounded in ancient belief, not facts. Many highly educated researchers, scholars and historians have dedicated their entire lives to the investigation, research and expose the truth about origins of all religions. They have traveled around the world to visit counties, museums, grave sites, excavation sites, the great pyramids etc., in an effort to discover information that will either support or contradict their beliefs and well as the beliefs of others. My passion for knowing of the truth is simple. If I was never programmed by my parents to the belief in Christianity or any other religion, I know for a fact the choices I made would have been different and much more suitable for the results I was seeking.
The religious programming most people committed to is one of absolute resistance to new information that will cause you to contradict and question that belief. Knowledge Removes the Fear of Letting Go of a Strongly Held Religious Belief: You are here because human nature naturally resist ideas and concepts that just don't make sense. Education Breeds Knowledge in and Bleeds Fear Out. When I began my journey of deprogramming the deep root European Christianity that had been embedded in my African mind, it was the most difficult journey I would ever take. I remember the initial fear I had in my gut that lasted for years before it finally went completely away. That only happened because I kept researching, studying and learning information outside the biblical text. A lock does not unlock itself. You must discover the key that will result in your ability to uncage your mind.
I remember as a little boy being afraid of what would happen to me if I didn't obey the Christian god of the bible I was taught to believe existed. At eight years old, the fear of hell was very real to me. Hell must be real. My parents would not lie to me about something like that. But parents misguide their children with this dogma because they themselves do not know. The biggest problem I had was asking too many question about things that just didn't make any sense to my curious young mind. I was told I asked too many question. I remember hearing the repeated mantra, not everything is meant to be understood in the bible. Why not? If I am going to live my life according to something somebody said and put in a book, I think I have a right to understand.
CHRISTIANITY INDUCES EARLY EMOTIONAL CHILDHOOD TRAUMA: A child's imagination is very vivid, creative, boundless and intense in the early years due to their newness of the world, their surroundings and the openness to receive information. Much of the information a child receives is taken literally as real and true. As a child, I believed the devil was real because that is what I was taught by my parents, I would have nightmares about the Devil trying to drag me down to hell. One time when I was about ten years old, I dreamed I was being attached by the Devil. I was wide awake screaming for dear life for help and to wake up but I could not. I kicked and screamed until finally the Devil gave up and let go and I was able to wake up after. Had I not been programmed to believe in the existence of a Devil by my parents and the church, it is likely that I would have never had those kind of dreams. Imagine how many millions of children are suffering nightmares from a belief in the Devil and burning in Hell for all eternity just as I did. This is emotional child abuse at the highest level. This, compounded with trying to be perfect and in good favor of a biblical god that simply does not exists, other than in thought, memory and imagination. But my parents would not lie to me right? They would and they did. Just as I believed the Devil was real, I also believed Santa Claws was real until I became old enough to know that he was not.
RELIGIOUS TRAUMA SYNDROME: is is the condition experienced by people who are struggling with leaving an authoritarian, dogmatic religion and coping with the damage of indoctrination. They may be going through the shattering of a personally meaningful faith and/or breaking away from a controlling community and lifestyle. RTS is a function of both the chronic abuses of harmful religion and the impact of severing one’s connection with one’s faith. It can be compared to a combination of PTSD and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). This is a summary followed by a series of three articles which were published in "Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Today.” Therefrom, the religion spreads like an incurable brain cancer, using Human Emotion to deceive generation after generation and rob eaxh individual of their ability to from the knowing of their true nature as intended.
In order to begin the process of letting go of a strongly held religious belief, you must first recognize where your resistance to receive and accept new and unknown information regarding the belief comes from. Your resistance is a product of the most powerful force on Earth, Human Emotion. Human Emotion is the precursor to every thought, memory and belief you will ever have and every decision you will ever make. Human Emotion is the God of your belief and the confirmation bias that supports that belief. Human Emotion defines your desire to know or not wanting to know a thing outside the belief. Christianity and all other religions use Human Emotion in its propaganda of fear of an external unseen, untouchable all knowing deity called god for control over your life.
WE MUST STOP ATTEMPTING TO REINVENT OURSELVES WITH EURO-GENTILE GRECO-ROMAN RELIGIOUS IDEOLOGY. The Mind of most Afro-Americans is still limited by what Euro-Gentile Greco-Roman colonizers have programmed within it. This results in Afro-Americans compulsively seeking to create a label within the parameters of European religious philosophical thought and traditions in an effort to satisfy the need for identification. For example, a group known as the Black Hebrew Israelites make the claim that they are biblical descendants from the Tribe of Judah. So I asked him a rhetorical question. If our Euro-gentile Greco-Roman conquerors had never gave our ancestors a bible, would you be claiming to be a descendant of the Tribe of Judah?
Afro-Americans who reject Christianity, Judaism and Islam claim their stake in the offspring of religious dogma by going back into the Old Testament of Euro-Gentile Greco-Roman literature in the establishment of thier identification. Why are we going back to their literature and not the original literature our ancient ancestors left us? That's no different than relying on a 13TH Generation plagiarized and completely altered story book created for their Eurocentric culture instead of going directly to the source our ancient African ancestors left us so that we will know our true identity.. The result is our eponymous claims that give us an incredible relationship to a God manufactured by their factious historiography which does not benefit the uplifting of our people.
As for the information on this website, it is clearly Afrocentric and Pro-African centered. Rightfully so, my people remain the most uneducated, undereducated, marginalized and disenfranchised of all other cultures in the Western Hemisphere. They know little to nothing about the historical creation of the religion they practice. My goal is to change that generational trend with by providing non-biased and unaltered historical factual information and educational material that exposes the rich history of our ancient African ancestors prior to being conquered by our would be Euro-Gentile Greco-Roman Catholic Church oppressors.
BELIEF BECOMES HARDWIRED TO EPIGENETIC MEMORY: When I ask a Christian or other religious believers "Can man be Trusted, they immediately answer, No. So I follow that question with another question. Well, if Man cannot be trusted, how is it you are willing to trust any religious book that has been reinterpreted, transcribed, added text, deleted and destroyed commentary over 2,000 years old by authors of unknown origin? From that I get the one or of two responses; they belief it's the inspired word of God because of the prophecy alleged to have happened in the scriptures. Then I get various responses that elude to me having not being saved or spiritual, I cannot connect to the divinity for that reason. A classic example of a religious claim that cannot be empirically proven is the belief in the existence of an afterlife or a specific concept of heaven or hell. Many religious traditions around the world include the idea of an afterlife, where the souls of the deceased are said to go to a realm of rewards or punishments based on their deeds in this life. Since there is no scientific way to verify or disprove the existence of an afterlife, believers rely on faith, personal experiences, and interpretations of religious texts to support their beliefs. In this case, confirmation bias may come into play: believers might interpret ordinary events as signs or miracles, reinforcing their faith in an afterlife.
Additionally, believers might find solace and meaning in their lives through the belief in an afterlife, even though it cannot be empirically proven. This emotional fulfillment and comfort can strengthen their conviction in the absence of objective evidence. All religions are found in belief to often include a concept of the supernatural. Belief does not require evidence, the believer need only believe. So why doesn't the believer question their belief? The main reason is because programming of the religious belief began at birth. At birth your brain is on (conscious), but it's a blank slate waiting to download programs. Compare this to a new computer or cell phone that you turn on but it has no apps, only the operating system that apps will be downloaded in. Those programs invade the in the subconscious of the believer from birth through childhood. In the last trimester of pregnancy until you were seven years old, your then innocent un-programmed blank brain (zero downloads) modulated in the subconscious theta state. This is the most intense period and part of our programming and why children are like sponges to receive information taking in everything their audio and visual cortex infuses.
RELIGOUS BELIEF IS A SUBCONSCIOUS HYPNOSIS PROGRAM HARDWIRED IN THE MIND OF THE BELIEVER. Religious belief and the experience of hypnosis are different phenomena, but many parallels can be drawn between them to illustrate the depth of faith and its influence on perception. The comparison to hypnosis serves as an analogy to describe the depth of conviction and altered states of consciousness that religious belief can entail. Religious beliefs are equivalent to being hypnotized when we consider the subconscious theta programming hardwired to allow the supernatural take permanent residency in the mind of the believer. Here are a few ways in which religious belief parallels with hypnosis:
1. Altered States of Consciousness:
Hypnosis: Hypnosis often involves an altered state of consciousness where individuals are highly focused, relaxed, and suggestible, sometimes leading to altered perceptions and memory recall.
Religious Belief: Some religious practices, such as meditation, prayer, or rituals, induce altered states of consciousness. In these states, believers may report feeling a strong connection to the divine or a heightened awareness of spiritual truths.
2. Suggestibility and Influence:
Hypnosis: Hypnotized individuals are highly suggestible and can be influenced by the hypnotist's suggestions, even to the point of experiencing sensations or memories suggested to them.
Religious Belief: Religious teachings and rituals can influence believers' perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors. People might interpret events or experiences in ways that align with their religious teachings, leading to a profound impact on their worldview.
3. Suspension of Disbelief:
Hypnosis: During hypnosis, individuals often suspend critical judgment and may accept suggestions or experiences that they might question in a normal state of consciousness.
Religious Belief: Religious faith often involves accepting supernatural or metaphysical claims without direct empirical evidence. Believers suspend skepticism and accept religious doctrines based on faith and trust in religious authorities.
4. Altered Emotional States:
Hypnosis: Hypnosis can evoke various emotional states, from deep relaxation to intense focus, depending on the hypnotic suggestions given.
Religious Belief: Religious experiences can evoke powerful emotions, including feelings of awe, love, gratitude, or fear, often interpreted as encounters with the divine.
5. Personal Transformation:
Hypnosis: Some individuals report positive life changes or personal transformation as a result of hypnotherapy, suggesting that altered states of consciousness can lead to personal growth.
Religious Belief: Many believers describe religious conversion experiences as transformative, leading to profound changes in beliefs, values, and behaviors.
As you grow into an adult, your wiring and programming becomes more fixed (hardwired) and our brains become less malleable (flexible). We begin to function at a different (lower) brain wave than we did for the first 7 years making it more difficult for us to absorb as much information and/or be as impacted by it (from a subconscious perspective). Dr Bruce Lipton explains that your adult life becomes a printout and roadmap of your subconscious programming. Limiting beliefs such as Christianity have been wired into your subconscious mind for first 7 years then holds you back in adulthood. Our subconscious mind and its wiring starts to come to the forefront and drive our limited world view, often unconsciously. This causes you to be held back by your subconscious programming. Your life is an expression of your wired programs which expose your limiting belief. Look at your programming. Observe the restrictions you have allowed someone else to infuse in your subconscious with the implementation of belief systems. Once you understand what is holding you back by your subconscious wiring, you can then start to move forward into rewiring.
Combine that fact with what is know as "Epigenetic Memory" which is "the encoded cellular epigenetic markers and memory factors that defines the ability of cells to retain and transmit unique gene expression patterns to the progeny cells from generation to generation," and belief yields a greater power that truth. Christianity and other religions have mastered the art of leveraging human emotions as a means of attracting and retaining believers. Emotional connection is the number one tool used in shaping an individual's religious identity, beliefs, and commitment to their faith. The most disturbing thing about religions is they are ALL founded in Belief and Hearsay and Not facts. "Ignorance is much more powerful than Knowledge, just as Belief is much more powerful than Truth." Not one religious belief system was founded in facts capable of being verified as empirical evidence. So what is Belief and how does it fundamentally operate? Britannica dictionary definition of Belief is: a mental attitude of acceptance or assent toward a proposition without the full intellectual knowledge required to guarantee its truth. In adding to that, my definition of Belief is: "a third party transaction of the mind that has no first hand knowledge of the event or statements alleged, all of which is predicated on unverifiable hearsay." If you partition the word "belief", you get 'be and lie.' Therefore, what you are be-lie-ving could be a lie.
IF YOU ARE LIVING ACCORDING TO A RELIGIOUS BELIEF, YOU ARE SUPPRESSING YOUR NATURAL INNATE DESIRE TO KNOW AND FOLLOW YOUR TRUE NATURE. Religions teach a multitude of concepts that literally suppress the believer's ability to know the true nature of his being. I have a brother who is an extreme Christian, and at 55 years of age he never been intimate, all because his religious belief speaks against sex before marriage. He takes every word in the bible literally in every aspect. How he approaches the concept of belief further affirms that all men are not mentally created equal. Our capacity to discern the real from the imaginary can become skewed in relationship to our innate desire to believe. Religious belief has successfully capitalized on this element of subconscious modulation. Christianity teaches its believers that the god of your bible has a plan for you. So, if god already has a plan for you and god knows the plan, what's the point? This is the dumbest most oxymoronic idiotic concept conceivable. What is the difference between the cultural tradition of a man or woman being forced to marry each other because of their royalty status? None. It's the same conceptual idea. Just think for a moment. Oops! I forgot, that is prohibited in most religious belief systems.
To the right is a video of Coty Coots, a Southern Baptist Christian Pastor out of good ol' Kentucky, who died in the name of Jesus because of his belief in this passage in Mark 16:18(KJV) "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." While the pastor of Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name, Coots was bitten by snakes eight times prior to his fatal snake bite. Coots and another snake-handling pastor, Andrew Hamblin of the Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette, Tenn., practice this Christian religious tradition every Sunday.
1842
Coty died All because of words in a book written by men of unknown origin to have allegedly been inspired by an external God. You, a believer yourself will judge and define your fellow believer to be an idiot, because you believe that passage is not meant to be taken literally. But your god failed to inform Coty of this as he truly believed he was doing god's will just like you. The only difference is he was willing to die for the same god in the same book you believe in. This is why there are more than 300 religious denominations. Each denomination can decide what scriptural doctrines they will interpret as Real, an Allegory or a Metaphor. I call this the RAM Effect. The RAM Effect is a result of the biblical god revealing his name to different people for different purposes and failing to clearly disclose how and when a scripture should be applied so believers can at least have a uniform understanding of his word. That is all the confirmation I need as proof that man created the biblical god in his image and not the latter.
