Do you believe you can think for yourself?

Where does this ability come from? Is it merely chemical reactions in the brain and thoughts are merely products of the physical world?

All it takes is the education and intellect to know the truth and step into reality that rids people of the indoctrination from the child abuse of having had religion forced into them from a very, very early age!

Acceptance of a supernatural claim tends to promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging this kind of behavior where the most intense social relationships occur it facilitates the lack of skepticism and deters more open minded thinking.

They are christian, Muslim or the other religions depending where they were born simply because they were indoctrinated by their parents as very young children. They will go on to indoctrinate their own children and those will go on to indoctrinate their grandchildren!

Atheists have the intellect to see through the conditioning and escape into the real world!

Agnostics have the intellect to see through the conditioning but lack the courage to throw of the conditioning entirely.

Sadly Christians, muslims and others are still held firmly prisoner by the self perpetuating brainwashing!

Take a damage from your self. move on a weekend vacation and be somebody else by ability of doing things you'll in no way do... discover out again what a good man or woman you may be, and on your issues, say to your self "This too shall pass..." After the vicious handle, %. your self up, benefit your composure and score that prevailing purpose from the penalty spot!

Man has a brain, but he also has a mental body which is essentially a separate sheath around the physical form. The trouble is that it is outside of the astral form, so it has to break through this emotional barrier in order for the brain to function as a mind, and for the most of humanity it just does not work very well. They are 90% astrally polarised and thereby lies the problem. There are far too many distractions, deliberate or otherwise, to detract one from being and working upon the mental planes, and there are several levels also. Amen.

Yes, I do think I can think for myself.

This ability comes from my brain, which is a highly complicated information processor capable of modeling the observable reality around us and adapting to its circumstances. Yes, all thoughts are electrochemical reactions in the brain.
