Teachers Guide 13-Week TEACHERS GUIDE By Thomas and Nita Horn Defender Publishing LLC 13-Week TEACHERS GUIDE Outline for 13-week class based on the book by Thomas and Nita Horn, FORBIDDEN GATES: How Genetics, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Synthetic Biology, Nanotechnology, And Human Enhancement Herald The Dawn Of Techno-Dimensional Spiritual Warfare. This guide is FREE and can be freely redistributed so long as no fees are required to obtain or to use it. How to use this guide: 1. Each student will need a copy of the book FORBIDDEN GATES. * 2. The teacher will use this TEACHERS GUIDE to prepare each week’s class. 3. The student should be provided a photocopy of the TEAR-OUT SHEET at the end of each lesson (provided in this guide on the last page of each lesson) prior to the following week’s class. * Student copies of FORBIDDEN GATES are available below wholesale at www.forbiddengate.com 1 | P a g e WHY A CLASS ON THIS SUBJECT? While Forbidden Gates: How Genetics, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Synthetic Biology, Nanotechnology, and Human Enhancement Herald the Dawn of Techno-Dimensional Spiritual Warfare includes fresh insights for traditional, tried-and-true methods of overcoming darkness, it also unveils for the first time how breakthrough advances in science, technology, and philosophy—including cybernetics, bioengineering, nanotechnology, machine intelligence, synthetic biology, and transhumanism—will combine to create mind-boggling game-changes to everything we have ever known about spiritual warfare. As a result, new modes of perception between things visible and invisible are expected to challenge the church in ways that are historically and theologically unprecedented. Without comprehending what is quickly approaching in related disciplines of research and development, vast numbers of believers could be paralyzed by the most fantastic—and most far-reaching— supernatural implications. The destiny of each individual—as well as the future of their families—will depend on knowledge of the new paradigm and their preparedness to face it head on. This is the reason for this teachers guide. We encourage you to freely share this guide with other churches and groups and to encourage them to become acquainted with the unprecedented techno-spiritual challenges facing the Church and society this century. 2 | P a g e LESSON #1 YOUR HIDDEN ENEMY Have the study group read chapter one of FORBIDDEN GATES before the first class and write out their answers to the questions on the tear-out sheet you will provide (located at the end of this lesson. Please photocopy and give that sheet to each student one-week before the lesson). The student should bring their filled-out sheets to class to use in class discussion. TODAY’S VERSE: Ephesians 6:11-13 TODAY’S FOCUS: The goal of lesson #1 is to establish the reality of evil supernaturalism and the role of the Church with regard to spiritual warfare. OPENING THOUGHT: In the opening chapter of their book FORBIDDEN GATES, authors Tom and Nita Horn recite a story told them years ago by Dr. David Yonggi Cho. The story involved a “vision” of an agathodemon—an ancient spirit with the head of a man and body of a serpent— that Cho battled and overcame. Shortly after waking up from the dream, Cho found that the woman he had been praying for was healed and the miracle led to the community converting to Christianity. Today, Cho pastors the largest evangelical church in the world with nearly a million members. If you believe the vision was genuine and represented spiritual and material reality, it all started in a city delivered from demonic siege. 1. In the opening chapter of FORBIDDEN GATES, authors Tom and Nita Horn recite a story told them years ago by Dr. David Yonggi Cho. What did you make of this story? Was it real or was Cho delusional? TEACHERS NOTES: a) Read question one and create an opening / casual conversation regarding Cho’s story and the reality of evil supernaturalism (demons). b) Point out key phrases under the subtitle “THEY’RE HERE” on page 32 where the authors state that demons interlope between spiritual and human personalities at 1) home; 2) church; 3) government; and 4) in society. Each of 3 | P a g e these points could be discussed, i.e. “How do demons operate against the home?” “In or against the church?” “In Government” etc. c) On page 33, the authors briefly mention “the divine council.” If you are not familiar with this theology (which some connect to the origin of demons) and want to include it in this class, we recommend the study by Dr. Michael Heiser on his website here: www.thedivinecouncil.com 2. Read the first theory concerning the origin of demons called “Spirits of a Pre- Adamic Race”, which makes the assumption that life existed on earth before Genesis 1:2 (the “gap” theory). Do you believe ancient history and the geological record support this conclusion? What evidence do you have? TEACHERS NOTES: a) Point out that fossil evidence of the Jurassic period, etc., indicates that life of some kind existed on earth and pre-dated the first civilizations of Mesopotamia. Do such fossils (humanlike footprints in Texas riverbeds near dinosaur bones etc.) offer tangible proof of theory number two? If so, would it be necessary for God, in a re-creation of the earth, to explain what occurred before Genesis 1:2? b) Point out that those who believe theory number two claim that it explains the desire of demons to possess human bodies, i.e. “they were created to exist within a human-like form and are therefore uncomfortable ‘disembodied.’” c) Ask the class if theory two is actually an effort to reconcile the secular opinion of the fossil record with the religious idea that the earth is less than 7000 years old? d) Scholars like Gary Stearman believe Lucifer was a “reptilian” Watcher that watched over the reptilian earth species (dinosaurs) and that, when he fell, this is what led to the destruction of the dinosaurs. If this is true, does this explain both the Pre-Adamic origin of demons as well as the fossil record? 3. The second theory for the origin of demons—“Otherworld Creatures”— suggests that earthly anomalies such as megaliths, pyramids, etc., indicate a “supernatural” intelligence visited the earth during antiquity. Some students of demonology characterize this evidence as “demonic intelligence.” What do you think of such conclusions? 4 | P a g e TEACHERS NOTES: a) You might start this question by asking the class if they understand Einstein’s theory of relativity (E=mc2). Explain that all matter is motion, i.e., electrons spinning at the speed of light squared around various combinations of protons and neutrons forming molecules of different density, and thus various forms of matter. Some molecular structures (poison gases, ultraviolet rays from the sun, etc.), are powerfully real yet invisible to the naked eye. It is therefore scientifically possible for invisible and intelligent creatures to exist. b) Those who believe theory number two claim that some UFO activity defies known laws of physics and is therefore super-natural in nature. In discussing this, the teacher may find the excerpted information below from Tom Horn’s book, THE GODS THAT WALK AMONG US (available free at www.ForbiddenGate.com) helpful. ...There is some evidence that the 42 demons or "judges" of Osiris were in some way related to the prehistoric legend of the Watchers—the mysterious angelic beings who first appeared in the early cultures of the Middle East. The Egyptian people originally migrated from the biblical land of Shin'ar, which means the Land of the Watchers. The Egyptians called it Ta Neter—The Land of the Watchers "from which the gods came into Egypt." As mentioned in Chapter One, it's possible that a historical event occurred giving birth to the legend of the Watchers, and references to a race of "watcher/gods" which cohabited with women and sought to control the human race is attested to by numerous ancient texts. The Sumerian scribes refered to the watchers as Anunnaki, which, they said, "came from Nibiru" to judge/rule the inhabitants of the earth. Some have interpreted Nibiru as "a distant planet", but the actual translation is, "Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came." In the Bible references are made to the Anakim and to the Nephilm which also means those who came from Heaven to Earth. In the Book of the Dead there are prayers for deliverance from the Watchers (Tchatcha, the princes of Osiris) , who came from Ta-Ur, the "Far Away Land," and in the Book of Jubilees—also known as the Apocalypse of Moses—the Watchers are compared to the "supernatural beings" mentioned in the sixth chapter of Genesis as having come down from heaven to cohabit with women—a union ultimately leading to the birth of the giants. The Apocryphal Book of Enoch also associates the creatures of Genesis 6 with the Watchers. We read: And I Enoch was blessing the Lord of majesty and the King of the ages, and lo! the Watchers called me—Enoch the scribe—and said to me: 'Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness, go, declare to the Watchers of the heaven who have left the high heaven, the holy eternal place, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives: "Ye have wrought great destruction on the earth: And ye shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin: and inasmuch as they delight themselves in their children, The murder of their beloved ones shall they see, and over the destruction of their children shall they lament, 5 | P a g e and shall make supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye not attain".'" (1 Enoch 10:3-8) From the Dead Sea Scrolls we learn that only 200 of the larger group of powerful angels called "Watchers" departed from the higher Heavens and sinned.

  • Nord Brain Stimulation in Psychiatry
    Cambridge Textbook of Neuroscience for Psychiatrists Chapter title: Brain stimulation in psychiatry Name: Dr Camilla L Nord Affiliation: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge Email: [email protected] Phone: 01223767481 Address: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge, CB2 7EF 1 Brain stimulation in psychiatry One of the best examples of translation from neuroscience to psychiatric treatment is brain stimulation, an array of techniques aimed at modulating the activity and/or plasticity of particular brain structures. Brain stimulation is not new: as far back as ancient Rome, the physician Scribonius Largus wrote of electrical stimulation to relieve migraine (although he employed a torpedo fish, a species of electric ray). Today, a number of invasive and non- invasive brain stimulation techniques show efficacy in treating psychiatric disorders. What these distinct approaches have in common is their ability to target specific neural regions more directly than traditional pharmacological or psychological approaches (see Figure 1). This capacity to influence the very circuits implicated in neuroscience studies has contributed to some transformative discoveries, but has faced key translational challenges, including response variability and inadequate placebos. 1. Non-invasive brain stimulation There are two chief forms of non-invasive brain stimulation: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). TMS uses brief, high-current pulses to induce a magnetic field, indirectly activating neurons, and causing an increase or decrease in brain activity in a localised target region1. There is substantial evidence that repetitive high-frequency TMS pulses over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) are effective for major depressive disorder2, purportedly by restoring activity in the L-DLPFC, a commonly-described source of aberrant activation in neuroimaging studies in depression (often, but not always, showing hypoactivation)3.

This qualitative study is about dispositions of emotional intelligence in school principals. The participants interviewed were novice school principals or principal coaches. The results showed that principals tend to address the needs of others more than their own. Strategies are shared on how to improve emotional intelligence. Additionally, the study provides recommendations that school districts can implement to ensure the success of school principals. Keywords: emotional intelligence, school principals, self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skill, Daniel Goleman, Dale Carnegie, anticipatory mindset DISPOSITIONS OF EI IN PRINCIPALS 5 Preface The feeling of pride when becoming a principal is not easy to describe.

  • Neurohacking: Rewiring Your Brain by Don Vaughn (Transcript) | 1
    Neurohacking: Rewiring Your Brain by Don Vaughn (Transcript) | 1 Following is the full text of Don Vaughn’s talk titled “Neurohacking: rewiring your brain” at TEDxUCLA conference. Don Vaughn – TEDx Talk TRANSCRIPT Inside each one of us is a beautiful symphony. 100 billion neurons firing in concert, constructing this vivid reality that we’re living in. And inside each little piece of that neural activity lives a little bit of what makes you, you. And after your experiences today, that activity will have shifted and you will never be the same. You are inextricably tied to your brain. When I first learned these principles, when I was 16, I fell in love with the brain, and I’ve been doing neuroscience research ever since. Now, one day, we were doing a new MRI experiment. And I was surprised because the experiment went well, but much to all of our shock, I had a hole in my brain. It was a pretty big one too; it was like 30% of my cerebellum just wasn’t there. Which, as you might imagine, I was pretty shocked because I didn’t feel like anything about me or my life and my experience of the world had changed or was missing. The cerebellum is one of the most fundamental parts of your brain. It has, like, 80% of all of your neurons. So I got interested. Now, there’s this collision between what your brain is supposed to do and then what it’s dealt, and somehow it finds a middle ground. And I became really interested in the idea of your brain as a dynamic, flexible system.
