My new coined insight/understanding on reality is what I call "collective genetic memory" (CGM). CGM basically means that we as a human species not only carry our own personal family genetic history/line within us, but as we are also a…"

James Anthony Prendergast commented on Garfield Swaby's blog post Mary-Jesus Theology Part 2"These genes are four million, million years old. They were born in the primordial seas. Do you Garfield, an ephemeral gene-carrier, claim to know what your genes know about a religion that popped-up a mere two thousand years ago?"
Mystic Tourist commented on Garfield Swaby's blog post Mary-Jesus Theology Part 2"Garfield, I did enjoy the post as a whole. I liked best the notion of time's backward movement. I have never considered time quite that way but have long considered the past and the future to be the same. That is of course because we carry the…"
"You have me at a loss, Garfield (that may be a good thing!). From what you express so cleverly/eloquently in return to me, I really do not understand exactly where you are coming from, Bro???
Hope you appreciated and understood my diagrams…"
Garfield Swaby commented on Garfield Swaby's blog post Mary-Jesus Theology Part 2"@James Anthony Prendergast, the altruistic gene doesn't "know" religion as a complex belief system...no gene does, does it? Your altruistic gene can't encode Christianity from worship of the Earth Mother. "
Garfield Swaby commented on Garfield Swaby's blog post Mary-Jesus Theology Part 2"While I'm tempted to say nice diagram, charts, and lists out of sheer common decency, there's a voice in the back of my head wondering why anyone would go through so much trouble to paint their image of God into a hermaphrodite of printed…"

Oh no, not again! Enough of the fairy-fluff divine feminine BS for just a moment! Christianity and Christmas is far more about Christ incarnated as Jesus than the secondary contemporary hand-me-downs about the divine feminine and Mary, so very…"
James Anthony Prendergast commented on Garfield Swaby's blog post Mary-Jesus Theology Part 2"I see this in terms of "The Altruistic Gene" or perhaps more accurately the altruistic meme, which to me is Christianity. Don't we all recognize mercy as the line between mutually assured destruction and an evolutionarily stable…"

In Mircea Eliade's The Myth of the Eternal Return, he discusses the sacredness of New Year festivals for “primitive” societies. New Year festivals served to remove all taboos from the previous year's crops as well as set the fates for the coming year. The festivals occurred during the…

K-Nice stepped through the wormhole looking more hurried than usual. He never discussed his age, but from his many first-person antedeluvian accounts, Gali had guessed that he was, well, as old as the hills. Lately, K-Nice's high-dimensional space jumps had picked up a frantic pace, as he monitored FBI JTT sting operations in various stages of development. Gali wondered…

Time-sensitive commitments precluded me from submitting a timely post about Thanksgiving. Even after receiving the Wednesday night SMS blast to "not be like them, but to fast instead," I was determined to perform my assigned tasks - on a full stomach - preparing for the first Thanksgiving meal hosted by my wife and I. More about that later. After reading James Croft's Thanksgiving for…

Stephanie Louise Fisher said… haha - I'm embarrassed to admit she sucked me in at first, - she sent me a very short message. I think I shook off any suspicion because for some reason I assumed it wouldn't happen on Peacenext. Shame :( Oh well, I know now, and it's good to have a new 'honest' friend!

Hi - thank you for inviting me as your friend. Just an alert to 'Grace' - she sent me the same message as you and then proceeded to ask me to transfer zillions of dollars into a bank account. Somehow I think "she" might be spam... so just be careful please, that's all. I've had these letters before and it's generally a way of stealing anything you might have in your bank account.
Best wishes,
steph
