Afterall...This IS my Life

I was looking into that movie some months ago but some internet research on Ramtha and JZ Knight made me cautious: Wikipedia entry

Burgbud, I had a chance to read what was in the link you posted and I wouldn't let it stop you from seeing the movie. I didn't believe everything the movie conveyed and the part where they started talking about religion...well, it didn't make any good sense to me personally. HOWEVER, the part where they talked about emotion was really, really interesting and totally worth watching if only for that. Let me see if I can relay some of it....they were talking about 'peptides' in the brain, chains of amino acid proteins as I understood it, and they said that there is an amino acid for every emotion....lust, sadness, anger, victimization, etc. The brain releases these amino acids into the bloodstream where receptors (like little docking stations) on cells can be penetrated. The really interesting part is how cells can become 'immune' to certain peptides because over time, the cells split and because of years of 'training', i.e. emotional abuse to ourselves, the cells eventually contain fewer and fewer of the receptors it needs for certain peptides to penetrate. Thus, if you don't change your paradigm, you will get the same results, your brain will always make the same connections and cause the same old feelings. Now, I don't pretend to understand the scientific validity of all of this, but it rang true to me regardless and I thought about depression in particular. It is easy to see how difficult it could be to break free of negative thought patterns if you've been holding onto them for years....you literally have to re-train your brain and break all those old connections and start forming new ones based on new thought processes.
Wow. I thought the implications were pretty phenomenal! I was way interested in it and hope to read some more on it.

I need to think a little more before I post responses for GEL and Chrome. Thanks for checking in on me.
