Encounter in Nineveh, a route to personal enlightenment.
A fictional dialogue for serious readers only.
The book is best described as a collection of philosophical essays addressing many urgent issues facing mankind today including: (1) the need to formulate a “General Theory of Physics” where gravity and quantum physics are brought together (2) “Reconciling Creationism with Evolution” through the concept of seeds of life containing the science and technology manual planted on the Y-Chromosome to guide evolution in accordance to the great designer plan. (3) Reconciling faith with modern scientific thinking, (4) reconciling different faiths, (5) exposing the mysteries behind the working if the human brain. The book spells the road map to rid humanity of the evil within to allow the humans to specialize in the futuristic society where the wellbeing of humanity becomes the guiding principle for all individuals activities.
Below is an extract regarding the incredible flexible human brain.
“I looked at Darwin and wondered, ‘You have spoken about the importance of being open minded and reflective in order to acquire new knowledge and rewire the brain. You also spoke that this is part of The Creator’s greatest design geniuses to give the brain cell multiple ending for establishing new connections. Please spell out the science behind these claims?’
Darwin was pleased with this request. He looked at me and said, “This is known as Neuroplasticity or if you prefer to call it the incredible, flexible brain. The wonderful brain has the innate ability to change itself physically when faced with new beliefs and challenging experiences.
The brain has billions of neurons. These neurons are the cellular building blocks that interact with each other in complex ways. Signals travel from one neuron to another down intricate neural pathways whose structures determine your thoughts, impulses, emotions, insights, and more. If one becomes clogged up then it will create a mental rigidity and behavioral departure from normality. This will slow new neuron connections from being formed. The thought process will then pass, over and over again through the existing connections. In so doing he reinforce established beliefs and deepen the brain washing. In case of children, as their brains develop, these neural pathways are established more readily. Less used pathways are pruned away while pathways that are used regularly grow stronger. Every task one does relies on a different neural pathway.
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to create new neural pathways and reshape existing ones. This happens even in adults. The brain makes these small changes naturally throughout a person’s lifetime. But when neuroplasticity’s potential is thoughtfully and methodically explored, this physical reorganization can make the brain faster and more efficient at performing all manner of tasks, no matter how large or small these tasks may be.’ Unfortunately in people where mental rigidities and ignorance of all types come together, the best gift of the Lord to man, that is the Neuroplasticity process, is kept under lock awaiting to be opened up.
Darwin realized my fascination for the functioning of the human brain, looked at me for comment. I smiled and said, ‘I get it. I cannot make the excuse that I am too old to learn new teachings. I have to believe in change, get engaged in people’s issues and problems, and become an activist for a just cause.’
Abraham did not want to miss this opportunity to say something that he had left unsaid the previous day, ‘You know Mac, there is nothing more upsetting to The Lord than man’s action to interfere with the normal functioning of his brain. This includes taking of drugs for recreational purposes, excessive consumption of alcohol, insisting on traditions not compatible with the age of reason and refusing to train the brain to be creative. Continuous acquisition of knowledge is what pleases The Lord most.’
I interrupted Abraham and asked, ‘Why did the Greatest Designer not make the interference with the functioning of the brain painful. This would have automated the process of avoiding harmful interference with the human brain?’
Darwin took control of the dialogue and responded, ‘If you think carefully, this is exactly what The Lord has done. Those who continuously abuse their brains by using drugs or alcohol are punished through poor performance or early death. In the mean time, they always have the chance to repent. Those with rigid brains are too lazy mentally to upgrade their creativity. They get left behind in the race for a better life to their seeds.’
Plato added, ‘The wicked plant seeds for cultural diversion to give themselves excuse for wars so that they can rule supreme. Those with virtues work tirelessly to create cultural proximity for a better tomorrow with a universal brotherhood of man as an objective.’
