ruthiechan Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Okay, so I am a big time advocate for brain health. I came upon these videos and I put them in a play list on youtube. It is fascinating stuff and I feel that it will be helpful to you. There are seven videos, each are ten minutes (though the last video is actually four). I've been contemplating posting them, but then after reading Ben's thread on the Matthew Chapter 13 Parable I knew, "now is the time" (yes, that was the Spirit talking, those were its exact words to me).Here's the list:http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=523AF2183817089ANow, I am wondering, what are your thoughts on how this relates to the Gospel?I won't tell you my thoughts because I really feel that you need to see the videos FIRST before I say anything.

Guest tomk Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Short answer: I believe in many aspects of this. I believe that through our obedience we lay hold upon God's grace (power) which turns us into new creatures. I don't think the term "new creatures" is figurative. I believe it is literal. In other words, God changes our brain chemistry and wiring so that we think differently and therefore act differently. I don't know if this is applicable across the board, but I think it is generally true for much of humanity. See the writing I have done on the "Science of Sanctification" in my signature below. Quote
Hemidakota Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Ruthie, thanks for posting these. Noting the length, I will watch and post my assessment of the videos. Quote
Hemidakota Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Ok, we need to sticky this under the Health forum. Much information is very usual for those who are seeking advice. Even I was taken back on noting a few personal illness that I can overcome. I can say Ruthie, you have truly served the Spirit this day and thank you for this posting. Quote
ruthiechan Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 I feel I should point out that Dr. Amen, the man speaking, has anxiety and has to go through relaxation techniques in order to speak on stage. Can you believe it? I have read some of his books which is how I know this. Tomk, I hope you have since watched all of the videos. Quote
Hemidakota Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Good to know but I have the same problem when presiding in a meeting and have to give a 15-minute talk and the tendency in forgetting some of the prepare talk. :) Quote
ruthiechan Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 It makes me wonder what Dr. Amen forgets to mention! LOL. I find this stuff interesting because our brains are the most complicated thing known to man, but we can damage it so easily. Satan is probably pretty pissed that we have this visual against all the things he tries to get us to do that is contrary to the word of wisdom. Quote
