[miracles] believer or sceptic
Really like this one - here is the summary:
* Martyr in Naples from 305 A.D. had his blood collected by a nun into a phial - blood now dried, of course;
* Twice a year, on specific religious festival days, the blood turns liquid;
* Locals believe if it doesn't liquify, disaster will strike;
* Five times it hasn't liquified and disaster struck, last time in 1980 when 3000 died;
* Sceptics say it is the moving of the phial on those two days which turns the blood liquid - rest of the year it stays untouched. Some say thixotropy.
Do you believe in miracles?

Define a miracle! But everything always is governed by the laws of physics and chemistry, which we don't totally understand.
ReplyDeleteAnd parallel universes, JMB and the metaphysical, don't forget. :)
ReplyDeleteYes! There is no hope if you don't....
ReplyDeleteAnd parallel universes,
ReplyDelete"From out of the mouths of ....."
How near, yet so far.
In the quantum domain of Superstring Theory, there is an assumption that there are ten dimensions of space-time, - one of time, three of space as we know it, and six spacial dimensions which have collapsed into a different scale of perception.
Britain's Astronomer Royal, Sir Martin Rees spoke of parallel dimensional research not as a newly theoretical enterprise but as an "arcane" science.
Space is the underlying nature of reality, but everything we think of as "material", and therefor composed of particles, is actually made from vibrations
Hence it is easy to understand that if the vibrational frequency is changed, then the nature of reality also is changed.
There is no boundary around reality - - only our notional perception of it is constrained by being based on the experience of our own space-time.
We know for example........
James,
The above is relating to the picture you show, not to the text.
As I said previously, the second aspect will totally change the nature of our civilisation.
If only we have the maturity......
Currently we don't.
I suspect currently it is being covertly weaponised.
Medical has also latched onto it.
But there are far more profound implications......
Our education systems teach us what the state wishes us to learn. Absolutely most is hidden, - it must be.
Historically, nothing was hidden, references were quite open, 'till the Vatican began to understand...then it went underground, and codes, etc.
Oh, well, sigh!
Yes, it was quite open, in accepted,apocryphal and gnostic literature, to say nothing of the national record of the ancient civilizations.
ReplyDeleteThey tally remarkably well. Examples are the Hyksos kings and the story of Levi and Simeon is murky and yet biblical.
There is also a lot of sophistry swirling round to confuse the issue.
There is no sophistry on my part, if that is what you are saying.
ReplyDeleteI am being factual.
I have given you so many clues over the last year that it beggars belief that you have not found your answer.
I'm short on time, now, will come back. :-)
You misunderstood, Anon - I was speaking generally about "out there". And yes, you have given many clues and so have I. What makes you think I don't understand? :)
