No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning

[Weird]

apparently we don't have to understand the true nature of the universe completely to nurture and understand our own humanity

we can choose to see value in humanity and thus purpose, or we do not, and this the value of purpose falls apart.

how you get there is less critical, they are the same places

babylon and zion

heaven and hell

good or evil

all destinations manifested by our minds

Don't let the devil of your mind trick you into thinking they are personally relative destinations, because of our reliance on mankind to exists it is a collective and thus need to be a universal destination.

We can think we exist outside of this world, but we do not.

But we can conform to our conscious, which is where this universal law is meant to be understood

But we control access to that as well

I think the more we try to put a name to it, the more exclusive it becomes

that is why I love Buddhism, it sees it from outside that lens, based on shared cause and effect.

Outside the norms of our relative views of the world through our religious lens, it allows us to focus on the humanity we share.

it is not a replacement as much as it is the wisdom we are asked to seek in proverbs, the practice would have us behave in a congruent way to Christ, that is honest, upright, encouraging, loving and compassionate.

See, for me, the power of Christ and Buddha are similar which I was able to see because I had an open mind to the underlying premise not the name attached. It simply is a reality for me.

I will say this.

If you read the bible really carefully it tells you to heft Christ's yoke but not God's persona.

That means you love everyone at your own expense without sharing your source.

Within biblical context Christian's were warned of the dangers of promoting God in God's name because it evokes the image of God's persona.

IMHO a true christian lifts up those around them in Christ WITHOUT revealing the source, because the notion only works when you represent him in spirit no tin name.

As foretold in the bible.

Hard to do, extremely potent when you pull it off.

There isn't a religion or culture I haven't connected with by living this way, Proof is n my experience.

It was not an easy place to get to, no where good ever is.

Schizophrenia
Two changes were made to the primary symptom criteria for schizophrenia.

According to the APA, “the first change is the elimination of the special attribution of bizarre delusions and Schneiderian first-rank auditory hallucinations (e.g., two or more voices conversing). In DSM-IV, only one such symptom was needed to meet the diagnostic requirement for Criterion A, instead of two of the other listed symptoms. This special attribution was removed due to the nonspecificity of Schneiderian symptoms and the poor reliability in distinguishing bizarre from nonbizarre delusions.

“Therefore, in DSM-5, two Criterion A symptoms are required for any diagnosis of schizophrenia.”

The second change was the requirement for a person to now have at least one of three “positive” symptoms of schizophrenia:

Hallucinations
Delusions
Disorganized speech
The APA believes this helps increase the reliability of a schizophrenia diagnosis.

Schizophrenia subtypes

Schizophrenia subtypes have been dumped in the DSM-5 because of their “limited diagnostic stability, low reliability, and poor validity,” according to the APA. (The old DSM-IV had specified the following schizophrenia subtypes: paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated, and residual type.)

The APA also justified the removal of schizophrenia subtypes from the DSM-5 because they didn’t appear to help with providing better targeted treatment, or predicting treatment response.

The APA proposes that clinicians instead use a “dimensional approach to rating severity for the core symptoms of schizophrenia is included in Section III to capture the important heterogeneity in symptom type and severity expressed across individuals with psychotic disorders.” Section III is the new section in the DSM-5 that includes assessments, as well as diagnoses needing further research.

Schizoaffective Disorder
The biggest change to schizoaffective disorder is that a major mood episode must be present for a majority of the time the disorder has been present in the person.

The APA says this change was made on “both conceptual and psychometric grounds. It makes schizoaffective disorder a longitudinal instead of a cross-sectional diagnosis — more comparable to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depresive disorder, which are bridged by this condition. The change was also made to improve the reliability, diagnostic stability, and validity of this disorder, while recognizing that the characterization of patients with both psychotic and mood symptoms, either concurrently or at different points in their illness, has been a clinical challenge.”

Delusional Disorder
Mirroring the change in the schizophrenia diagnostic criteria, delusions in delusion disorder are no longer required to be of the “non-bizarre” type. A person can now be diagnosed with delusional disorder with bizarre delusions, via a new specifier in the DSM-5.

So how does a clinician make a differential diagnosis from other disorders, such as body dysmorphic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder? Easy — through a new exclusion criterion for delusional disorder, which states that the symptoms “must not be better explained by conditions such as obsessive-compulsive or body dysmorphic disorder with absent insight/delusional beliefs.”

Also, the APA notes that the DSM-5 no longer “separates delusional disorder from shared delusional disorder. If criteria are met for delusional disorder then that diagnosis is made. If the diagnosis cannot be made but shared beliefs are present, then the diagnosis “other specified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder” is used.”

I'll go with delusional disorder with bizarre delusions

 

[genedigger]

what the fuck are you talkin about

 

[genedigger]

if you cant figure out a persons personality after ten mins of talkin to them then your fucked.better start studying all these mental disorders so you can start diagnosing folks

 

[ChristianGrower]

Delusions? Wouldn't that suggest that I would be the only one seeing and believing these solar and lunar signals? It is happening because we do have a gracious and merciful God, and it seems in His creation, man has become more and more stubborn in mans ways... Self serving and self-empowerment. I believe every word of the 66 books of the Bible because I have not found it to ever contradict itself, nor base anything on theory or experimentation... But on laws and values put in place by our creator. If I'm delusional, I share the same delusions as millions and millions of people... Millions of happy, spiritual, self confident and peaceful people. so thanks I guess!

January 5 was the central day of the tetrad, which falls PERFECTLY between 2 lunar triples.... It's way too perfect and way too improbable to be anything but God. The earth and moon started spinning a long time ago... For them to align in such ways on holy feast days in times of major historical Israeli events... I mean, anyone here gamble?? Come on. Just the simple fact that our moons rotation and revolution period is exactly precisely equal... Not almost... It's perfect. Evidence of God is all around us.

I'll go with delusional disorder with bizarre delusions

Scientology would strongly disagree with that, lol

I agree, man made a lot of drugs, but God made Cannabis... And not only that, he gave us all perfect convenient little cannabinoid receptors . Thanks God!!!

Yup! Yeah my interpretation as marijuana as an intoxicant per the bible is that it is not, and is a sacred herb. You're just burning and growing a sacred herb.

 

[genedigger]

the road leading to life is narrow and cramped and few will find it.thats why no one believes in god.the bible said no one would believe it so its not surprising that folks buy into evolution and science.its all a brand new way of thinknig. of course everyone is gonna buy into it. evolution is taking about as much time to spread and flourish as 1st century christianity took to spread.

 

[resinryder]

I believe every word of the 66 books of the Bible because I have not found it to ever contradict itself, nor base anything on theory or experimentation..

Exdous 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.

Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

So you believe every word. When you gonna start killing people that work on Saturday or Sundays depending on your religious beliefs, and those that are gay? You could do it with God's blessing of course. Just these 2 examples would justify sidestepping the "Thou shalt not commit murder" commandment as it's directed to be done per the word of God. You can't believe every word if you don't act on them can you. I can give you a great website to order bullets cheap.

 

[waveguide]

when it's straight up called the "buy bull" i wouldn't waste time with anyone that still buys it.

you want to know the mind of the creator, try creating something. or look for a sign and increasingly becme the created.

 

[ChristianGrower]

Yes God held people to a higher standard back in those days, when He let everyone i to Heaven out of the goodness of His heart. With Christ came not only forgiveness and redemption for those who believe and follow, but also accountability... and for the record, I don't believe those 2 verses to be God commanding anyone to kill anyone. Wow

 

[resinryder]

You believe every word now you don't?

 

[ChristianGrower]

I suppose it's all in each individual's interpretation, but either way, it's good that you are armed with some scripture... Now learn how to properly use it for good... It's hims nature to think we are the greatest thing out there... To praise the creation and not the creator.... I understand it's hard for a human to find faith in something that ultimately come out of a 2,000 year old publication of a collection of writings from a 4,000 year period. I get it. You can believe your high school science teacher if you wish, God gave us free will, a beautiful gift, really... Look at us all here now expressing our individualism Christ taught me to love, so I have nothing negative to say here, but I'll never succumb to the notion of evolution.. Oh one more thing... I also believe it's entirely possible that God created more than one such earth with intelligent life... We are selfish to think we are Gods only, or best, work....
