Knight-Jadczyk's discussion of two distinct human races on Earth in her book would surely overwhelm the readers. How could humanity be consisted of two different races, one might ask. To describe the two races, the author has brought into this book the works of Boris Mouravieff, where "pre-adamic/adamic" concept is discovered, and of Fulcanelli on "Primitive Chiliasm." In short, the adamic human race have a "full set of DNA" and is connected "to the higher centers in place and functioning," while the pre-adamic human race "have no possibility of reaching the higher centers because DNA hardware isn't in place" (p. 154). But, the problem is this: we cannot tell a pre-adamic bring apart from an adamic being at face value because they are intermixed and the way to tell them apart is a keen and long observation. Knight-Jadczyk has elaborated on this:

"The DNA of these two races is so mixed that both can be found within the same families. Your brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, or son. Not somebody "other" across the world or across the street worshipping a different god or with a different skin color. It may be somebody you live with every day of your life, and if so, they have but one reason to be here, to drain, distract and deflect souled [or adamic] being from evolving. And it is important also to note that this cannot be "conscious." Such individuals are as little aware that they do NOT have "higher centers" as those who do except, perhaps, that the latter may feel something is "missing" in their lives." (p. 158)

Not everything is as what appears to be. The idea of two different races living among each other would surely shock the sleeping minds of the readers. It may be quite a challenge for one to 'detect' a pre-adamic being when observing other people. But, can we tell if we are pre-adamic beings ourselves? The author has further explained the difference between pre-adamic (or Organic Portals) and adamic races (or Souled Beings) and their place in our world in the fifth chapter of her book.

Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking... only the adamics can sense and see the thruth.

[sarcasm]
So that's why I've been feeling something is missing in my life all along! That is why I've always felt so empty! but now I see the thruth! I'm prea-damic!
[/sarcasm]

Seriously... what a pile of junk this is... people that believe this kind of crap is reaaaally stupid and deep inside they know it, but all this junk makes them feel smart, which is something they don't feel very often.

And when it comes to the writters, I don't think they believe all this crap they write, they simply want to milk the cash cow.

To her credit - and this is pretty much the only thing to her credit - she explicitly states that it's distributed evenly with respect to race and gender.

This is literally the only reason why movies like "What The Bleep Do We Know?" have an audience. New age/conspiracy gobbledygook does double duty where religion largely does only one; it gives them some arbitrary rituals that can secure their wellbeing after their death, just like religion, but THEN it teaches them convoluted jargon that lets them feel as though, like everyone else in this thread has already pointed out, that they're more enlightened than everyone, "dogmatic scientists" included. They seriously deserve more flak and more attention before they grow like a fungus in a dark place that was never throttled in it's cradle.

Oh hell yes, you'd have my enthusiastic support on that. Critical thinking is one of the most valuable and necessary skills a human being can have IMO. If more people had the habit of rational thinking we wouldn't have to deal with so much of this bullshit in society.

That's really quite sinister. Apparently one of the claims of her "theory" (if you can grace these deluded ramblings with that title) is that a large percentage of the human population is actually composed of soulless subhuman creatures that exist only to prevent the true humans from evolving. Wanna bet one of the items on her agenda is to identify these subhumans and relegate them to second class citizenship?

They're most likely people with a mental illness who haven't been diagnosed, or who just forgot to mention that fact before appearing on the show.

I've suggested this before, there's nothing about formal logic that a high school student couldn't manage if the course was composed properly. I suspect it would meet with a certain amount of resistance if it had unpleasant implications for religious studies, however.

They'd be tacitly admitting their beliefs are silly in a rather obvious way by doing it. A logic class would just be about teaching people the habit of evaluating the evidence objectively. It's hardly their fault if people who do that are less likely to be religious.

You're thinking too much. A 'dimension' in this case is parallel world, like Never Never Land or the Star Trek Mirror Universe. The endless possibilities that make such a contrivance appealing to fiction authors also makes it appealing to New Agers. It's like Sliders, except rilly rilly f'real man. 'Interdimensional beings' is just a dressed up way of saying 'monsters from fantasy land'.

Have you taken formal logic classes before?

First it's usually a third year course, for mathematics majors. And people fail.

Secondly, people make clubs to "prove" the existence of god using arcane notation. Do not underestimate the power of the dark side.

I'm really thinking more of something designed to introduce kids to the basic principles of logic; things like parsimony and objectively evaluating the evidence. These concepts are really fairly simple and intuitive, and should be within the grasp of an average high school student if taught correctly.

Well, yeah, but having the basics of logic makes it harder for somebody to pull shit they want to be true out their ass and then look themselves in the mirror. It should at least cut down the amount of BS going around a bit.

I'm just wondering if there are any conspiracy theories linking Guliani to 9/11, with the argument that "He seemed to handle it so well because he was tipped off". If not, this seems like a significant lacuna, and might be worth a book...
