You see. If I leave the earth, can I find God? What must I to find God?
KnownUnknown:
The OP doesn’t know magic from miracle. Here’s the correct recipe

That being said.
1. Get a lion. A male or female lion of your choice.

2. Get a bundle of reed that can be worn by anybody, preferably a top like they used to wear in ancient times and prehistory)

3. Fold the reed top in a round manner like you want to make a head gear, having semblance with the way snakes fold themselves.

4. Place the folded reed on the rear of the lion, and in 2mins the lion will sleep off. If you didn't remove the reed in 20 mins, the lion will die.

Now if anyone says a lion is too expensive or hard to find.
Then try this.

Get a neighborhood cat, a dog(preferably a wild one but a domestic will suffice), or a house rat as some people may call it. Ekuté In Yorùbá Language

1. Make sure it's recently killed. Less than 30mins is most effective.

2. Set up a smoking point where you can burn off the fur or is it hair they call it now?

3. Get plenty of ashes and sprinkle it round the smoking pot in large quantities.

4. Set the house rat, cat, or dog on fire around the sprinkled ashes. In less than 47 seconds, you'll see the pawprint of the critter walking out of the smoking pot

5. Get some cam wood, white chalk, and blue ink.

6. Strip naked and rub the cam wood all over your body, draw a white line from the top of your head to the tip of your privates. Color your hair with the blue ink and proceed to dance like David danced. You do this every new moon, waxing crescent, full moon, and waning crescent and you will find Dog……….sorry……you will find God!!!!!!

I would rather seek the best ways to raise my kids as thinkers. To have intelligent kids, choose an intelligent partner, and avoid the religious zealots. Religious zealots operate on the lowest levels of thinking frequency in the human world.

Don't box your kids' thinking into constructs such as atheism, agnosticism, etc from an early age.

But teach them about religions, about how humans control, enslave, and exploit their fellow humans by designing religions.

They need to know all this to learn how to protect themselves from religions and their evil gods, especially Allah and Yahweh.

You don't need to raise your kids as atheists. Teach them how to think clearly instead. Some of the ways to do this is to expose them to philosophy, programming, mathematics, and science from a tender age.

All these will open up their brain from a tender age and help them become a genius.

Your task will be much easier if you marry a highly intelligent partner. If your partner isn't the smart type, it'll affect the kids a lot.
To add to this, you have to turn into Socrates and question them about ideas and their opinions regardless if it’s about god or dog. If you teach them to think and reason properly, they might come to the correct conclusions.
Also, make sure they read and curate the books to include history, mythology, fiction, sciences, and mathematics.

Again, if 5 people in a room do not see any cup on a table, then I don't have to make the children believe that there is no cup on the table. The cup simply isn't there!
If 5 other people claim that there is a cup on the table but cannot show the cup, then something is wrong with them upstairs. That's why they need to brainwash you to believe that there is a cup, and if you choose not to believe then you're going to hell. Kobo will say "second death," but a threat is a threat. If that isn't brainwashing, I don't know what is.
The cup simply isn’t there. The lifetime of brainwashing is why I think atheists, agnostics, and whatever else are just incapable of stating the obvious. It’s not I have belief that the cup is there or I don’t have belief that the cup is there. The cup simply isn’t there.

Just one thing until then , there's no scientific evidence anywhere that the brain is the cause of OBE.. The brain is involved but not as you think . I will explain in detail later .
The brain is the cause of all mental phenomenon. There is nothing to explain because what you’re claiming cannot be proven nor does it make any sense. What you are claiming is utterly impossible because you CANNOT separate mental phenomena from the physical actions that give rise to them.


triplechoice:
If you can find scientific evidence in support of your claims about the brain causing it ,,please bring it and make sure it's peer-reviewed .
I don’t need to go sourcing for peer review studies to prove to you that mental processes are caused by the brain in conjunction with the other senses. The brain is obviously the primary organ giving rise to mental phenomena, which is why the death of the brain means the death of the person regardless if the other organs are still be kept alive.

triplechoice:
That's the only thing that is acceptable as scientific evidence in the sciences and not speculative theories , just like the one you posted in this thread which I ignored .
There is nothing speculative about that study. All it did is add to the body of evidence that it’s all in your head despite your wants.

triplechoice:
That study lacks ecological validity . An observation was never made of the brain of anyone having a real OBE to know if it's the same area as the one's they try to trigger . A simulation of something can never be the same as the original .I hope you know that ?
Original of what? The study has ecological standing because it can be generalized.
What’s the difference between the “real OBE” and the OBE they triggered?

Lol, I have an idea. Why don’t you be the subject?
You can have a “real OBE” and while your body is incapacitated, you just leave the vicinity of your body and go to a designated room where you can read a brief note than can be easily memorized. Then you go back inside your body, wake up and tell what’s written. Simple.


triplechoice:
Morever ,the report from the study was written in tentative language , "it appears that ",it seems that" etc That one is no where near scientific evidence ,but you and your friend were running away with it as if you found something when it was nothing .
What you call “Tentative language” is the language of scientific study and how results are presented.

You have nothing other than your wild and nonsensical claims. You allude to science and rely on obscurantism to try to hide the fact that your claims are nothing but old wives tale. Mental phenomena is a function of the body ( brain, stomach, lungs, nervous system etc ) and that’s why your claims about OBE are dead on arrival.
Present a mental phenomena without a body, then we can take your claims to be possibly true.

I have been insisting that If people are actually having those experiences I mentioned ,yes they are , ,then it would only mean one thing , current mind theory in main stream science needs to be reviewed or questioned .
What’s there to question?
Whatever experience they have is from the same system that causes dreaming.
What “mind theory” has to be questioned?
What’s “mainstream science”?

triplechoice:
I'm questioning certain hypothesis in the sciences using what so many people know and have experienced(myself included even a lot of scientist too) and not trying to prove anything.
What “certain hypothesis”?
What sciences?


triplechoice:
And no time did I even try to prove anything scientifically .Infact I said that they don't yet find full scientific support ,but still truth since it has been documented that people have those expereinces.
What scientific support?
What type of scientific support is required for “those experiences”?

triplechoice:
And I'm also not saying because it cannot be explained ,then it's evidence of this or that .
Which one is it?
It is capable of having scientific support or it cannot be explained.

triplechoice:
I should provide scientific evidence for the truth that people continue everyday to have precognitive dreams or OBEs ,that scientist are now startting to investigate ?
Which branch of science is investigating precognitive dreams or “starting to investigate”?
How are these investigations conducted?

triplechoice:
You are still living in the past when scientist believed that no one ever experienced a real OBEs or precognition of something . These experiences, unlike in the past , are acceptable truths in the sciiences even though not yet scientifically explained.
What is an “acceptable truth”?
What “sciences”?
Also, no one is arguing that people do not experience OBEs. The ridiculous claim that is rejected is that the person is actually “out of body”. The claim is as ridiculous as those who claim dreams occur in some “plane” or “realm” or “dimension” instead of the mind, which is an attribute of the body(person).

triplechoice:
I'm focus on the truth that people have these experiences to support my arguments ,and not trying to provide scientific proof for them.
No one is arguing that people experience OBEs but you won’t provide scientific proof of what you are insinuating because they are none.

You'd be surprised many do mistake a finger for the moon, but I guess you'd need to understand what the expression means to see how they obviously do.

Below is some reading.
https://mindfulambition.net/finger-and-moon/

The fingers help us see the moon again. So
we appreciate the value of the fingers. But the minute we think it's about the strategy, tactic, tool, or ritual itself, we're off track. We've mistaken the finger for the
moon. Because when you focus all your attention on the finger, you never see the moon. And
in doing so, you lose sight of what matters.
More bullshit.

Stop posting this silly ass quote. “Confucius” must have been upset because someone called out his bullshit. Charlatans always utter nonsense when confronted and asked to explain their bullshit.
Your “lord” Jesus is also nothing more than a charlatan if we are to extract a semblance of a human being from the bullshit gospels.

The quote is not profound in any way. No one mistakes a freaking finger for the moon.

This is just a way fraudsters have used since way back to milk the gullible.

Some certain folks among primitive Israeli tribe started it. They deceived their tribes men by saying a man in the sky instructed them to bring rams, pigeon, grain... It is a sacrifice and offering for the sky man. The priest/Levi are to sacrifice as burnt offering then eat the rest. How can't you figure out that it was just a ploy by some hungry fraudsters to get free food for themselves?
It’s always amusing reading the wonderful priests
ask for bull (beef), goats (mutton), sheep(mutton), and doves(passes for poultry). Their god never asked for the sacrifice of non palatable or hard to procure meat.

Now, they say the magic Jew has died for all their moral depravity so they don’t need beef, mutton, and poultry anymore. Also, they don’t live in agrarian societies anymore so they can go buy meat at the store. Regardless of these facts, the sky-man still somehow requires 10% and seems to like money now.

Blasphemy the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God or gods, depending on location.
It can also be the act of claiming the attributes of a deity, like Jesus Christ was accused of this.
Generally though, it is irreverence toward something/someone considered sacred or inviolable. Everyone should have some knowledge of where they are, and also have some self and tongue control. Your death can come from what you say, and where you say it. These are realities of life. Not here to defend it, but to enlighten folks like you about it. There are no go areas for different people. There are some people that can laugh as you talk about things, some others get upset to the point of being murderous on various issues like body parts, their parents, wife, children, sister, country, president, their place/object/person of worship etc.
Long winded way to say blasphemy is when religious people lose control after an absurdity of their faith is mentioned or when they take offense over some dumb shit.

Blasphemy is when religious people lose control after an absurdity of their faith is mentioned or when they take offense part some dumb shit . This could lead to murder and mayhem if the religious are ignorant or greedy enough. Such depravity has been observed amongst the abrahamic religions, currently and historically, however; the Hindus and the Buddhists are not far behind while the Sikh sometimes act sick like their counterparts.
