How Did Americans Lose Critical Thinking

[gab13by13]

12. Nice post

When I was a kid I loved to read, I guess because there were no computers or cell phones.

I still love reading today. I walk into the book store and ask what books have been banned because I want to read them.

I have been reading books on Buddhism lately and told my local priest. He said, OK, just don't convert, I thought that to be a wrong answer.

Catholics today can learn a lot from Buddhism.

I read a book maybe 10 years ago, Mind over Medicine, written by a doctor, Lissa Rankin. She was intrigued by the tests that were done for new drugs. The people who were given the placebo were also being cured of their malady, many times at the same %.

She came to the conclusion that by putting positive thoughts into your mind, your thoughts can cause physical actions in your brain to fix your malady, such as her hypothesis that stem cells from bone marrow were directed to an inoperable tumor that replaced the cancer cells.
