Hi All,
I am astounded at the rate of technological advancements, and the cost it incurs on those using it. Long ago when you bought something it lasted many many years, however buy a computer now and as soon as you turn it on for the first time it becomes obsolete. I heard this very statement being said on an advert on TV and I immediately wondered if this was done on purpose, but not intentionally from those actually 'making' the technology. You know, like 4D beings etc influencing 3D beings.
One piece of theory I came across in the book 'Evolve your Brain' by Joe Dispenza that opened my eyes was to do with the protein our bodies produces and its direct relationship to aging. In other words, we age quicker the worse the quality of protein our body produces, and in essence, the quality of the protein being produced is in direct relation to the amount of new stimulus our brains receive AND our body cells through chemicals (feelings and emotions).
I'll reproduce one page of Joe's book here.
What I find interesting is the simple belief that we have been conditioned to believe is that technology makes life easier, and also prolongs life. We have been brought up to beleive this is a good thing. OK, with the prolonging of life, not many will argue that this is a bad thing, but I will aks you this; how many people do you know that are older than 50, 60, 70, 80 and so on that do not pop numerous pills on a an almost daily basis. We all know the pharma industry is huge!
But what about the simple use of calculators and computers. One of my mentors once told us that in his day if we wanted to solve a mathematical problem we had to use our 'brain', and the only tools we could use to help was pencil and paper and a slide rule. Now kids simply open their calculator and as such require less use of the 'problem solving' brain.
In fact it is obvious to me that many technologies are simply removing the need to make use of our problem solving brains, and this in turn is helping to age us quicker, and in turn making us more dependable on big pharma and big government, not to mention maybe the possible benefit to 4D STS (would this be a fair assessment?). It is making us less inclined to be problem solvers. We are a world of automatons just as G says, but we are living longer and at the same time aging quicker. There is no benefit in my view for an 80 year old person who can not see or hear, and only is able to live due to pills and a pension, who at the same time spends their whole days recounting their own pasts. Unless something bigger is benefiting.
Any thoughts much appreciated

As the peptides "instruct" a cell, they activate the DNA to make proteins equal to the orders from our neural networks. If the orders are the same frightful attitudes or similar aggressive states of anger that we have been sending as signals to the cell over and over again for days and years, over time, the cell's DNA begins to malfunction. In other words, we have had no new experiences with a new chemical signature (in the form of different peptides) that can signal the cell to activate new genes in order to make new proteins. If the cells are getting the same chemical orders from the same emotional states, our genes will start to wear out - just like driving a car in the same gear. If the DNA begins to become overused, the cells begin to make "cheaper" proteins from their DNA.
If we think about it, all aging is the result of improper protein production. What happens when we age? Our skin sags. Skin is made of protein. What happens to our hair? It thins. Hair is protein [I'd add here that it grays too!]. What happens to our our joints? They get stiff. Synovial fluid is made of proteins. What happens to our digestion? It gets compromised. Enzymes are protein. What happens to our bones? They get brittle. Bone is made of proteins. When we make cheaper proteins, the body begins to express itself in a weakened state.
The expression of life is the expression of proteins. If we continuously give the cells the same orders from the same repetitive attitudes based on the same feelings, we make the same chemical peptides. As a result, we do not send any new signals to the cell to activate new gene expression. We are repeating the same thoughts that are either genetically wired or connected to some familiar emotional attitude from experiences gone by. If we are living the same feelings every day, rest assured that those chemicals will overuse the cell's DNA and begin to make altered proteins. The cell's DNA will begin to malfunction.
