Removing "The God Gene"

DaltheJigsawDaltheJigsaw Mountain View Veteran
edited December 2011 in General Banter
At the turn of the century, a gene called VMAT2 was discovered. This gene eventually became known as the God Gene. The God Gene predisposes people to have spiritual experiences. Department of Defense scientists used this information to create a vaccine against religious fundamentalism. It was a viral vaccine that spreads via air and is designed to inhibit the expression of the VMAT2 gene causing people to become less religious.

-Rudolf Steiner: Fall of the Spirits of Darkness Lecture 13

"A longing will arise (and become) general opinion: Whatever is spiritual, whatever is of the spirit, is nonsense, is madness! endeavors to achieve this will be made by bringing out remedies to be administered by inoculation just as inoculations have been developed as a protection against diseases, only these inoculations will influence the human body in a way that will make it refuse to give a home to the spiritual inclinations of the soul. People will be inoculated against the inclination to entertain spiritual ideas. Endeavors in this direction will be made; inoculations will be tested that already in childhood will make people lose any urge for spiritual life."

[page 199, 200] Steiner:
"I have told you that the spirits of darkness are going to inspire their human hosts, in whom they will be dwelling, to find a vaccine that will drive all inclination towards spirituality out of people's souls when they are very young, and this will happen in a roundabout way through the living body. Today, bodies are vaccinate against one thing and another; in future, children will be vaccinated with a substance which it will certainly be possible to produce, and this will make them immune, so that they do not develop foolish inclinations connected with spiritual life 'foolish' here, of course, in the eyes of materialists."

  • This is why exalted states of mind are not our refuge. Beliefs are not a good refuge.

    If you require a gene to feel liberated you are at the mercy of the winds of samsara.

    Still from a mundane perspective I don't want my body to be a test tube that the govt is fooling with.

    Thank you!

    Fundamentalism seems to me like religious people who don't have spiritual experiences. I'm not sure that removing a religious experience from people would make them any less dogmatic or prone to violence. I can imagine the opposite happening.
  • The video said that a lot of the gene could result in jesus where only a little in hitler or jeffrey dahmer (not jeffrey-me!)

    LOL IS THIS REAL?
  • theres video footage of a commitee meeting. It could be a staged production for all I know.
  • Bull, only a fool would believe such a thing.

    "So Young and So Many Pills
    More than 25% of Kids and Teens in the U.S. Take Prescriptions on a Regular Basis"

    "The human race is being mutated into a species that does not care about their family" - Jordan Maxwell

    The problem with consipiracy theories is you can say only a fool would believe it all you want but you can't disprove it either.

    All I knwo is if you put your kids on psychotropic drugs you've lost my respect forever.

    Insane! Indeed. I read a research article that 1/4 of people in USA are "mentally ill."

    I believe the conspiracy theories, such as 9/11, are disrespectful and adds even more suffering to the victims, families and professionals involved. They are called a theory for a reason, there is no proof.

    And spoofs such as this video can only add to suffering as well

    How does lies create suffering? Well it builds distrust fear with the govt, and creates a stressful false label on those who work in the Pentagon.

    People seem to thrive on creating fear and distrust amongst the masses for some reason.

    Incorrect. The most commonly accepted definition of theory is:

    "a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena"

    Gravity is a theory. Evolution is a theory. They are thus regarded as true. Conspiracy theories are not really theories. They are hypotheses. It a common misconception.

    But I agree with the fact that conspiracy "theories" that lack substantial proof, such as the 9/11 ones, are disrespectful and cause more suffering to the victims/families involved.
  • Agreed :)

    Did you hear the one that said the plane was actually a missile with a cloaking device (alien technology) attached to it to make it look like a plane?
  • I really thought I couldn't be surprised anymore by the "theories" coming out, but you proved me wrong... sigh

    That's actually some fun reading :) somebody put some work into that story

    Reminds me of when I used to work out on the Nevada range during Air Force exercises in my younger days. The locals were so hyped up about the aliens being kept out there. I was playing blackjack at a casino with some coworkers and the other people at the table started asking what we do... Well as soon as we mentioned that we worked on the range, they started talking about aliens, which got me sarcastically explaining that my job was to walk them around the area51 compound for their exercise... When I noticed that nobody was laughing, I grabbed my chips and moved to another table. My friends later informed me that the dealer commented after I left "that guy is definitely CIA".

    lol! It's not funny, really, but it cracks me up. :crazy: Can you tell us more about this? How is "mentally ill" defined in the article?

    "The human race is being mutated into a species that does not care about their family" - Jordan Maxwell
    I'd like to know more about that Maxwell quote, too. I think it's somewhat true, but seems to be true more in the West, which makes me regard it as a cultural phenomenon. Shanyin, do you know what the basis for his statement was?

    Interesting stuff being thrown around, here. I'd like to look into some of this more deeply.

    Wouldn't removing the God gene as described make people more rational? and does the government really want that?
