  • Neuroscience sheds light on how fasting and other spiritual disciplines work by training our subconscious mental processes.
  • our conscious self is far less in control over who you are and what you do than you realize.  "We are not the ones driving the boat of our behavior," says neuroscientist David Eagleman.
  • Jesus expected that dietary restriction would be a part of our spiritual practice. "When you fast," he said, not if.

  • Don't fast for a cause, but to shape your soul.
  • by making the Lenten discipline of fasting about a cause, we are caving in to our cultural distaste for self-denial.
  • But more importantly, spiritual disciplines shape us in deep ways. Because our brains—at the very least—mediate, process, and experience our spiritual lives, the disciplines can train us to become more attuned to God himself.
  • when our blood sugar runs low, chemical signals from the blood stream reach the brain, which sends out signals to eat.
  • The subconscious brain is at work, guiding our actions and our behavior

    Teaching is a "Spiritual Gift" of Gary F. Patton according to Brother's and Sisters who know him well. Gary's spirit resonates with this discernment. The positive and regular Feedback Gary receives from his co-learners seems to confirm it as well. Philippians 1:9-11, especially the highlighted portions below, prayerfully guide Gary's Ministry in whatever learning environment he serves within the Body of Christ ...online or otherwise. 2012-02-17

      It's the spiritual dimensions of yoga that are dangerous. The exercise is simply a packaging for a demoniacal, eastern religion, according to the Bible.

      My problem with Rhoberta's psychology when she points to "understanding" the roots of anger/rage as a route to healing is that it cannot produce freedom from your bondage. (I know this because I knew the emotional and spiritual roots of my rage for the full 25 years that I struggled with my it and that understanding didn't help me one bit. Only knowing "truth" can set you free. Understanding our past pain's roots doesn't produce truth or "freedom" from the pain. Only the truth that Jesus talks about at http://is.gd/NwDqOu can do that. gfp

  • you may not have any boundaries

    Anger is one of the most powerful emotions and the most challenging one to manage for most people. Some of us can't "manage" it ...at all. At best, some of us can ONLY moderate our reaction to our amygdala's response to our perception of a violation of our so-called rights. That's why Essential #1 is so crucial. (I know because I fought a losing battle with anger/rage for over 25 years until recently when I re-discovered a truth that I had forgotten as a Jesus Follower. Yeh! We're NOT perfect ...just saved as someone said.)
