i enjoyed your post very much.
I serve...Hi Malcolm<br />i enjoyed your post very much.<br /><br />I served in the CMA church in the US as an Elder. The policy of our denomination was that we did not encourage the use of tongues or forbid it. If it was used in our presence, we insisted on testing these tongues to discern which "spirit" was behind it. When we first instituted this policy we ran across mostly demonic tongues. As it became known that this was our policy to test tongues it became very rare for a demonic tongue to manifest in our presence.<br /><br />The term Xenoglossy, i must admit was a new one for me. It could be due to another policy we have in that we ask people to not exercise their tongues in a public service without interpetation.<br /><br />Looking forward to following your blog<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />BradBradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023612915723497366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608287618412195836.post-90337989285488083092012-08-30T14:02:47.403-07:002012-08-30T14:02:47.403-07:00Malcolm presumably you've read or're aware...Malcolm presumably you've read or're aware of 'Patient R' and've read this<br /><br />Roots of Human Self-Awareness: New Study Points to a Complex, Diffuse Patchwork of Brain Pathways<br /><br />http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/08/120822181228.htm<br /><br />ie Patient R's missing certain key brain elements hitherto considered indispensible for higher cognitive functions yet continues to exhibit clear indications of human self awareness.<br /><br />The official explanation being pushed of course is "Now We Know" human consciousness isn't simply composed of certain discrete elements attached to certain specific parts of the brain but is something more akin to a cloud computing structure.<br /><br />As Red Pill Junkie observed on his Daily Grail news scan today though this case can also be interpreted as 'Exhibit A for the case of Consciousness outside the brain'.<br /><br />If it really is the case then the brain's more like a radio receiver then this might be the mechanism by which Ma was not only able to tune in on everyone's indiscretions but also access the universal-telepathic-obscure-African-languages database or maybe even just jury rig an access point to the monk's own knowledge [though there're schools of thought which take the position we really communicate in spite of language rather than through it].<br /><br />As you point out though these sorts of psychic shenanigans're normally associated with young highly disturbed females on the cusp of womanhood.<br /><br />Among ancient peoples though and contemporary tradition based cultures it's always been accepted there're at least two other such main life stages when humans're viewed as something akin to the psychic equivalent of a leaking cannister of plutonium.<br /><br />1) babyhood crossing over into early childhood<br /><br />And British media continues to report seemingly endless highly distressing accounts of young African children being abused because they were believed to be possessed and<br /><br />2) old age where individuals particularly females're considered to be in some sort of growing relationship with the realm of death.alanborkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333017272673090593noreply@blogger.com
