Edrick... if I was ATS, I'd give you some title, like maybe 'Answer Guy' (or Gal), lol.

I really thought you had taken on more than you could handle at first... and even if you didn't falter, I expected the cops from ATS to shut this one down because of the vagueness.

But much to my surprise, it and you have done pretty well. Thanks for sticking with it and holding your OP up as a prize.

Cheers... S&F now as well

I mean like, people say the pineal gland is the seat of the soul, but thats 100% wrong. People who got there pineal gland removed still talk,dream ect.. So Thats what I am saying lol.

My point was regarding non local influence on human thought patterns via Quantum electrodynamic, and electromagnetic effects...

Not necessarily to prove a "Soul" per se...

Are they just a bunch of extremely wealthy individuals who have formed groups around the world to maintain their wealth and subsequent power?

If they really have so much power, what do they do with it?

Attempt to acquire more power.

Have many of them been exposed in the past? Or, have there been many attempts to expose and/or usurp them recently?

Yes

So what does does this "influence" work without the pineal gland?

The effects of electromagnetic energy on complicated chemistry is not fully understood.

The pineal gland is an example of how that effect works, but not the whole of the effect.

Neural pathways are electrochemical conduits.

Inductance theory tells us that electrical energy flowing through a conductor will generate a magnetic field, and conversely, that a magnetic field passing over a conductor will induce a current flow.

In this fashion, non local effects can alter brain functions.

Could Iceland be a small remaining part of Atlantis?

Plato's account of Atlantis is depicted as a landmass to the west of the Strait of Gibraltar, somewhere in the Atlantic ocean.

Iceland lies some 2000 miles north by northeast of the alleged location of Atlantis, so it is very improbable that it was at one time a part of the "Landmass" of Atlantis.

However, the technological sophistication of the Culture and society of Atlantis may have used Iceland as a naval port, and inhabited the island.

Can a person kill them self’s from their own free will? E.G. Someone just hates life and doesn’t feel like living, can die because they gave up on life?

One can refuse to eat... but I suppose that was not what you meant.

There are stories of Zen Masters achieving such control over their life functions.

The Zen Master Hoshin lived in China many years. Then he returned to the northeastern part of Japan, where he taught his disciples. When he was getting very old, he told them a story he had heard in China. This is the story:

One year on the twenty-fifth of December, Tokufu, who was very old, said to his disciples: "I am not going to be alive next year so you fellows should treat me well this year."

The pupils thought he was joking, but since he was a great-hearted teacher each of them in turn treated him to a feast on succeeding days of the departing year.

On the eve of the new year, Tokufu concluded: "You have been good to me. I shall leave tomorrow afternoon when the snow has stopped."

The disciples laughed, thinking he was aging and talking nonsense since the night was clear and without snow. But at midnight snow began to fall, and the next day they did not find their teacher about. They went to the meditation hall. There he had passed on.

Hoshin, who related this story, told his disciples: "It is not necessary for a Zen master to predict his passing, but if he really wishes to do so, he can."

"Can you?" someone asked.

"Yes," answered Hoshin. "I will show you what I can do seven days from now."

None of the disciples believed him, and most of them had even forgotten the conversation when Hoshin called them together.

"Seven days ago," he remarked, "I said I was going to leave you. It is customary to write a farewell poem, but I am neither a poet or a calligrapher. Let one of you inscribe my last words."

His followers thought he was joking, but one of them started to write.

"Are you ready?" Hoshin asked.

"Yes sir," replied the writer.

Then Hoshin dictated:

I came from brillancy
And return to brillancy.
What is this?

This line was one line short of the customary four, so the disciple said: "Master, we are one line short."

Hoshin, with the roar of a conquering lion, shouted "Kaa!" and was gone.

Of course this could be *Just* a Koan to teach enlightenment.

Good Job Ed

Thank you.

Is language complete.

Language evolves as thought evolves... new words and definitions are being created all the time as we advance our understanding of reality and ourselves.

The only "Complete" language, is a Dead language.
