Extra Terrestrial Life Posted: 11/22/2009 3:28:51 PM
Excellent, VoidDancer. I'm with you on all counts, you saved me a lot of typing. I'd go further and say that when earthlings individually and in their own time finally reach a certain moral/spiritual criteria at death, they may find themselves graduates of the earth school and subtly reincarnated among the ET's; who probably don't look at all as unsightly as we depict them.

Smoking, who to blame! Posted: 11/22/2009 10:01:43 AM
As a grateful, liberated ex-smoker, I rather hope that a smoker's life will continue to get ever more miserable and ever less socially acceptable. We will soon need all our health care dollars and resources for illnesses among our population not self induced; and all our arable land for crops providing beneficial nutrition.

Good and Evil Posted: 11/22/2009 8:38:05 AM
In his near death experience, Mellen Thomas Benedict, a man who returned to life completely cured of his brain cancer after one and a half hours in the death state; relates that while on the other side, he became aware of something he called his higher self. He explains that all our higher selves are interconnected and also directly connected to the Source. We could take a small leap here and assume our higher self to be what is called in Christian religion, "the Holy Spirit." Anyway, if we will accept this much, we might also accept the possibility of the higher self being instrumental for us in such things as intuition and guidance in the sense of right and wrong. Becoming sensitive to it does not mean we will always get what we want; for there are others in the world who need to live too. But we will be doing the right things for the greater good.

Posted By: Quietjohn2 on 11/15/2009 1020 PM: " Zeno, and Gary. It isn't so difficult to those who don't have the arrogance to assume that they know what God's priorities are. Or even if such would care about omnipotent, benevolent, and omniscient." Just what are you trying to say, John; that I might be arrogant in assuming that we will eventually be returning from whence came regardless of what our beliefs are?

Crop Circles, what is behind this mystery ? Posted: 11/21/2009 10:58:18 AM
In spite of an overriding sceptical consensus among our posters on this topic with respect to the possible ET origin of the circles or geometrical configurations and their messages, I'm keeping an open mind. The main reason being, among others, an incident which may be accessed at this link (among others): http://www.ufocasebook.com/1967malmstrom.html Simply having been inspired to create the weaponry to destroy life on earth as we know it while in the process of killing each other out of mainly concocted hatred does not mean we will be allowed to proceed with said insanity.

Richard Dawkins fans? Posted: 11/20/2009 6:28:45 PM
I'm no fan of divisive, organized religions. However, I would never go so far as to say there is no creative, guiding and organizing force in nature and the Universe. My observation of the elegance of life forms and the synchronicity of galactic, solar and planetary systems has made me wiser than that. Nor would I say that our consciousness is solely a product of our brain. My experience with other dimensional entities and an astral projectionist have made me wiser than that. Richard Dawkins and so many others who believe there is no God and no life after death should look within themselves. What gives them the ability to reason and create; the contents of their brain-case? Or is it something more; something that is part of a greater consciousness that has always existed and always will. Does this possibility not give more hope and joy than to live in the shadow of death? Namaste

Depression and spirituality Posted: 11/20/2009 2:37:28 PM
Whether a person is spiritual or not, I believe a depressed mental state is usually a side effect of physical weariness. In my own case, a few days of rest and relaxation usually rebuilds my mood as well. The trouble with our society, I think, is that too many people are running themselves ragged keeping up with a heavy load of employment obligations, this the result of many often unnecessary expenses. They're never in a happy frame of mind because they're simply run down. Why not make do with less and treat yourself to more relaxation... How hard you want life to be is entirely up to yourself.

How can you prove soul exists after death? Posted: 11/18/2009 7:17:56 PM
From post By: Appreciative9809 on 11/18/2009 626 PM: " Ulitmate Reality doesn't exist in time, and doesn't share the temporariness of this physical world and everything in it. We, the innermost we, aren't in this world. It is in us." I agree. Although we can't fully account for WHY we chose to put on flesh and occupy our illusory creation, we may assume, as part of the Great Awareness, or "Ultimate Reality", we grew weary of eternal bliss and sought adventure by dividing into independent parts and creating for ourselves a blockage to universal knowledge; one of several purposes for the organ we call a brain. Death then, is both the release and relief from our self imposed fleshen restraint and the regaining of our place within the Ultimate Reality.

If we are all small parts of a great consciousness into which we will one day be blissfully reabsorbed, I would imagine that the absorption process could be greatly hindered by our selfish behaviour toward others while we are separated as individuals on earth. It isn't always easy, but I try to dig deeply to find the good that I know exists in everyone, constantly reminding myself to understand our needs and fears in the human condition on earth. It helps make forgiving those who do us harm a bit easier.

Does Biblical matrimony need a women's liberation revision? Posted: 11/12/2009 5:24:04 PM
from the OP: "But there are, however, several passages, on the contrary, that clearly exonerate men who possessed several wives. This was acceptable for those who have the means to support multiple wives." Henny Youngman used to talk about an Indian Chief who had three wives, "....two of them had it pretty soft." One's more than enough I'd say; unless you enjoy gambling with your sanity... "I had a girlfriend once... drove me to drink. I've been indebted to her ever since." -W.C. Fields

How can you prove soul exists after death? Posted: 11/7/2009 8:34:47 AM
From the O.P.: "I recently talked to the person who believes soul dies too when you die." Over the very long haul I think your friend may be right. All souls eventually are supposed to return to and become one with the Source, although it may take many lifetimes before they loose their affinity with materialism and individualism. Sadly, the disconnection must be realized during earthly incarnation, which is difficult.

Has God always existed? Posted: 11/6/2009 6:08:39 PM
If our consciousness survives our body, as many near death experiencers claim, or can exist outside our bodies as posited by those capable of astral projection, then consciousness must be eternal. If a so named "deep experience" near death experiencer such as Mellon Thomas Benedict (among others) describes having been in a state of having connected with "all knowledge" then we might assume such enhanced consciousness must be God. Many NDE'rs also say this world is "an illusion" and that our real home is over there, it all comes back to us after "death". According to Theosophy, the Universe, as well as the guiding principle, Consciousness, unrolls and expands and then eventually retracts and gathers itself again over the course of trillions of years. It then goes into a state of "sleep" to eventually reawaken and do it all over again.

I used to let them have their say, but you know, religion wears on you eventually. What I do now is quote this Christian line rather sternly and 'in their face' so to speak: "The kingdom of God is within you!" ...and so it is.. no need for preachin' or thumbin' gossamer thin bible pages if the kingdom is already within us, is there?

In Buddhism this phrase is used concerning enlightenment: "When the soul is ready, the Master will come." My advice to anyone pursuing the veracity of spiritual eternal life is to keep an open mind; finally becoming convinced of it will bring great joy to you. P.S. Religion, churches, nor the Pope play any role in the revelation.

How can you prove soul exists after death? Posted: 11/4/2009 6:40:05 PM
If you've ever experienced things happening around you that defy explanation as to a physical cause, you might consider a non-physical cause. If the event is, for instance, a light switching on or off by itself, or a faucet turning on or off by itself, or finding your telephones have disconnected from their wall jacks by themselves; now you are compelled to consider an intelligent, though perhaps mischievous, non-physical cause. Of the non-physical causes, you may consider a deceased friend or relative has come to visit you, a friend or relative who is capable of astral projection has come to visit you, or you have an entity which came with the new house you just bought. Whatever you choose to conclude, you are nevertheless faced with the fact that SOMETHING is keeping company with you. An intelligence without an apparent physical body. It is activity such as this that has led me to believe without a doubt that we go on after abandoning our bodies. I also believe a great possibility exists that our hereafter destination could be a place of bliss; this to compensate for our earthly life being, in the final tally, when the days of misery and pain are counted, a net negative.

CERN/LHC starting up soon Posted: 11/1/2009 5:45:41 AM
I wonder if having the Hadron collider experiment eventually being successful in identifying the so called god particle will bring about the supposed shift in consciousness purported to occur @ 2012? Is it possible we might thereby recognize ourselves as part of the Source of this elaborate illusion of creation?

Jesus was a Socialist Posted: 10/27/2009 5:15:56 PM
To better understand what Jesus was trying to teach, I found the principles of Theosophy quite revealing. If we all are derived from one Great Consciousness in a state of unimaginable bliss and eventually hope to return there at death then it is quite important that we try to be helpful and considerate of other consciousnesses (people) during our lives here. Hindu people greet one another with a slight bow and the word 'Namaste' which means, the Divine in me honors the Divine in you. I think we should all say that.

A Human Clone. Will It Have A Soul? Posted: 10/27/2009 4:38:39 PM
I'm of the opinion that soul is consciousness which has it's Source in the cosmos. So if a clone is born and eventually proves to be conscious and aware then it must have a soul. I think we may even eventually achieve a form of consciousness in our sophisticated electronic devices and robots as well. I read an article a short while ago the author of which suggested that the Internet might already be conscious. This really didn't surprise me. I've been dealing with devices and vehicles that seemed to have a mind of their own for about as long as I've been capable of bad language.

The savant... In regards to the brain and what it is capable of; how revealling is this condition? Posted: 10/25/2009 6:51:19 PM
I wonder if having a brain is actually a detriment to accessing a higher knowledge cosmic database; the so called Akashic Records? Some near death experiencers tell of having All Knowledge during their time out of body "on the other side" but when they returned and re-entered their bodies/brains the knowledge was lost. If a savant is missing a certain region of brain normally associated with a certain function such as arithmetic or memory, could this be compensated for by them using the missing region as a portal to the cosmic knowledge?

Dear John/Ann; As agnostics you are quite free to examine major denominations other than Judeo Christian. Have you considered Hinduism or Buddhism........ or Theosophy perhaps.. Have you looked into the Raelian movement.. Somewhere along the way no doubt you'll find a belief system that suits your conscience. On the other hand, if your conscience is already content then Agnosticism must be right for you just as it is.

If science carries on moulding our lives, what do you imagine the future will look like? Posted: 10/21/2009 2:35:39 PM
For the most part, I think amazing technological advancement over the last hundred years has been a good thing in that an awful lot of manual labour has been eliminated. The downside is that some things can be maddeningly frustrating. Going forward I can see us using taxis with robotic drivers like in the movie "Total Recall". I can also see us throwing the robot out as Arnold did (with an accompanying expletive of exasperation).

Are we really in control? Posted: 10/20/2009 5:48:51 PM
I believe we can, (within the confines of the laws of our land) be in total control of our lives, if we so desire. However, if we choose to relinquish in any way, to any degree, our control of self to mind altering substances, religion, religious cults, malevolent spirits, malevolent persons or groups, addictions etc., now we are no longer in complete charge of ourselves. Certainly, we are not in total control when we are employed; employment entails submission. But employment is also compensated, hence our willing submission to it. I believe our consciousness to be a fractal of Divinity that no body of flesh can ever produce and that even our lifetime on this earth was something we had control over and freely agreed to beforehand for the sake of benefits brought back into focus when our consciousness returns to Source.

Nobel peace prize for nuclear weapons Posted: 10/18/2009 7:26:55 AM
I think total disarmament is a pipe dream. So long as fear and the capacity for hate continues to exist in man, the possession of weapons and nuclear war is inevitable (without ET superior society intervention). We've stood under the shadow of this monster for only about 60 years so far and in that time the threat level has never been very far from midnight on the doomsday clock. The "enemy" is us, and the enemy will remain us until one fine revelatory, spiritually graduative day we each in our turn become aware of our true selves and the purpose of our ever tested lives on this hard planet.

Speed of light.......... just something about it..... Posted: 10/14/2009 5:30:57 PM
A recent emerging view by a few theorists, in light of the observation of pairs of sub-atomic particles behaving in unison regardless of vast space between them (implying infinite speed); is that our apparent reality in this universe is in fact an elaborate hologram. Matter, space, time, our bodies and light and it's speed, thus become unrealities; constructs of The Mind. The hologram theory would moreover help explain the metaphysical capabilities of certain people and near death experience testimonies which cannot otherwise be explained.

Believe! Posted: 10/6/2009 4:06:37 PM
I think it might be a good idea for all those who think they have no spiritual component to take a serious look into something called "Astral Projection" or "out of body experiences". To your own surprise you may even eventually find yourselves capable of it. If you manage, after practise, to become quite good at, call a friend and tell him or her you're coming over, out of body, and ask the friend to try to detect your presence in his or her house. I say this, not because I've mastered such out of body travel, but because I happen to know someone who has. It took me by surprise at first. I thought I was dealing with demons. A later telephone call from the friend assured me it was not. Such a person is known as "an adept". This revelation made me feel like celebrating, for it opened my eyes to the probability of us surviving death of our body. From the Christian perspective let me quote a couple of statements from Jesus: "Ye are gods" (John 10:34) "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21) . What was Christ trying to tell us? Can our consciousness be created by a biological neural network? Or not? Now what about our existence? This lifetime? Eternity? Please don't see me as attempting to convert anyone to any religion. I'm merely trying to open eyes and minds and bring joy into hearts as we discover what we really are. Namaste. (Hindi; translated it means: "The Divine in me honours the Divine in you"

Believe! Posted: 10/4/2009 10:37:03 AM
I was raised following the rituals and moral guidelines of a major Christian denomination. However, I had a problem with categorizing many inexplicable events that occurred over the course of my life as "demonic" and to be feared. I came to the conclusion that indeed a powerful caring Consciousness created everything, both visible and invisible and I asked myself why anything should exist that I need to fear. My beliefs are very simple now: life continues after death of the body; cause no harm to any person or other creature by thought, word, or deed and try to see the Divine in them; realize that permanent escape from earthly misery requires detachment and indifference to all things here, and finally; abandonment of the selfish emotions of ever miserable earth. These beliefs have brought about a change in my behaviour. I believe it's ultimately our honest change in behaviour that makes us worthy of something better.

Utopia and self-actualization...an actualized state? Posted: 10/2/2009 3:44:12 PM
from post By: JustDukky on 9/30/2009 1043 AM: "The next fifty years are going to be hell for all of us, even in a utopian society (people ARE going to starve by the millions in the next few years and wars over resources are almost inevitable - North America is going to be hit so hard it will feel like we've been run over by a freight train. Many of us and our children are going to die, some horribly, but that can't be avoided now" I won't contradict the above. I know an awful lot of starvation is already in progress in some countries. However, I can't imagine North America facing this prospect (unless there's some drastic large scale change in climate). Possible financial collapse doesn't mean that our land no longer is fertile or that the sun stops shining on our plants. Our cows will still give milk or yield beef if there's grass. Houses will still be standing for us to move into even if there's no way to make payments on them. Survival in our present society has always meant struggle and determination even in the best of times. Those who are unwilling to put up a fight in the way of hard work will need to take a reality check though.

Utopia and self-actualization...an actualized state? Posted: 9/29/2009 9:41:51 AM
I used to wonder why humanity, after thousands of years of yearning, simply seems unable to achieve a utopia. Some tyrant always seems to emerge somewhere or is made up to be emerging somewhere and the cycle of fear and the need for defense re-proliferates in the psyche. Death, suffering and destruction always follows. I believe people to be of basically two mindsets; those who have overcome the beast within and those who have not. Firstly, I need to say this notion has nothing to do with religion which we, as philosophical people, well know has been one of history's greatest causes of division and hate among the human brotherhood. Enlightenment can only dawn on man when the secret of his separable body and consciousness and the truth of the eternal nature of his consciousness is revealed and accepted. Enlightenment releases him from the grip of "the beast". Fear is replaced with quiet peace, joy and anticipation of the return "home" at life's end. If those who are so enlightened were all to move to one continent there would be no war, no dishonesty, and no conscious harm to any other on such continent, the inhabitants thereof being well aware of Universal Law and the inevitable suffering they will endure for offenses against others. Yet, even on such a continent of wise folk care would need to be taken with their offspring, for they will not necessarily accept their parents teaching, and may steal, lie or kill; in which case the heartbreaking ordeal of sending the child to one of the continents of the unenlightened will need to be endured.

"If it is the latter and actual SAD, this isn't something that you just get over it or just deal with it because it is an irrational fear and you would need more than to just cope with it to be totally free." Oh, I don't think fear of crowds is irrational. Just ask any liberal democrat who tried to speak to a crowd of hardline Neo cons during the Bush era. Or Pontius Pilate when he tried to reason with the crowd who wanted to crucify Jesus Christ. Or Salman Rushdie. Or General George Custer. Or Martin Luther. Those of us who wisely eventually retreat to our shells (homes) to live out our days in peaceful solitude may only be called hermits, and nothing more.

taking God out of School/Government..good/bad? Posted: 8/31/2009 4:16:53 PM
I know this might be a stretch for some minds, but has it ever occurred to anyone that whether we are aware of it or not God lives inside each of us anyway? It is the "I am" of our consciousness, the eternally evolving and reasoning ghost in the biological machine. It will extract itself from the body at death regardless of what we might have or not have believed in during our lives. If we have a conscience with respect to how we treat others and we obey our intuition in our decisions as we placidly make our way through our difficult earthly lives, do we really need to be concerned about whether or not God is acknowledged in our schools or government?

Apes... Do they have emotions and thought processes like our own? Posted: 8/25/2009 11:39:45 PM
I think consciousness can inhabit animals as well as humans. My consciousness resides in the body of an average man with an average intelligence. My consciousness could also reside in an exceptional man with a very articulate brain, but alas it does not. It could also reside in an ape, and perhaps it once did. An ape struggling: to keep up with its tribe, to find food, to wrestle with other male apes over females. I would not be able to communicate with humans as another human, I would not be able to comprehend calculus; but you can bet I'd feel fear and pain if you beat me or used me in your experiments.

Altrusim vs. Individualism Posted: 8/9/2009 10:22:40 AM
Our moral compasses on this earth will probably always swing somewhere between altruism and individualism depending on the circumstances. Humanity will never be able to do away with "the law of the jungle" entirely; competition for jobs increasing productivity and increased productivity raising profits and all this painfully factual and necessary. It is when we turn our eyes to those who fall by the wayside in this process that our hearts are tested; whether we may contain any measure of vicarious compassion. It is here where opportunity for spiritual growth emerges, where we may approach the Divine, the Ubermensch.

Uebermensch vs Last Man Posted: 8/9/2009 8:51:39 AM
As someone who believes the core of humankind to be spiritual and evolutionary over many lifetimes, not necessarily restricted to this planet, I think we will all eventually achieve the status of Ubermensch. Any human in this lifetime who might feel inferior to his peers as a result of his lack of will power against base desires need not succomb to dispair. His ascent to becoming a more compassionate complex being is simply a matter of time and trials and an intuitive desire to become better.

could humans be the highest form of intelligence in the universe? Posted: 7/27/2009 5:23:14 PM
As there is great variance in intelligence between humans, we might consider the idea that our individual intelligence is possibly an evolutionary process. Is it fair that one person should lead a pleasant rewarding life thanks to his intelligence, while another is doomed to a lifetime of miserable drudgery due to lack of it. I believe we at our essence are spiritual and eternal. We live many lifetimes and during each lifetime we gain more in the way of intelligence, sensitivity and character. Finally we reach a state in our development where we graduate from life on earth. When we look at the stars on a clear night, we are looking at thousands of suns, no doubt many of which have orbiting planets. The conditions for life on those faraway worlds could be very different from what we know on earth. They could be populated by beings who never engage in war, who don't know how to hate, who would never lie or deceive. They might have only two goals in life; the pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of mutual pleasure. Forgive me if I'm beginning to sound a bit Raelian.

Here's another video which you might find interesting: "Project Camelot Looks at George Green's magnetic motor" (U-tube video) I'm tempted to try building from this simple idea to power my bicycle.

Generating electricity from electricity Posted: 7/12/2009 6:56:50 PM
Apparently the production of usable energy using permanent magnets in a rotating device or "engine" exists. A fellow by the name of Micheal Brady has started a company called Perendev which produces 100 kw. and 300kw. generators as well as one to power a car. It looks so beautifully simple. No inputs. No pollution. Do a search for the company name and see for yourself.

Do you every wonder Why you are, and where you are? Posted: 7/7/2009 2:17:57 PM
According to Spiritism and also some near death experience testimonies, we choose the parents to which we are born as well as the life we will lead. We are granted a glimpse into the future and choose a life that will be most beneficial for our spiritual development. Apparently there is no regression, our growth is always progressive, although some may squander their opportunities in this regard and achieve little spiritual virtue to show for their lifetime here.

Why is everyone so afraid to think for themselves? Posted: 7/7/2009 6:13:20 AM
I think the biggest hurdle to independent thinking is fear of failure and the embarrassing ridicule which would follow. What did people first think of the man who invented the steam engine; or those who watched the garage tinkerer as he experimented with his McIvored prototypes until eventually inventing the first working string trimmer. What about the guy who wasn't going to be a member of the herd when it came to taking on a huge debt in order to have a house and instead solitarily builds his own, painstakingly learning all the trades as he does so. No one will show the way when it comes to thinking for yourself lest you might, to their jealousy, be successful. Your intuitive ideas come from within. It's up to the individual whether they have the courage and faith to respond to their own intuition.

How do you think it will happen? Posted: 7/6/2009 5:01:20 PM
I don't believe we are anywhere near the end of the world. However, it seems that a change in global consciousness is indeed underway. Atheism, although still popular, seems to be giving way to a renewed interest in spirituality, although sadly many major religious denominations are feeling little of this. Particle physics and metaphysics, it appears, cannot be excluded from one another, as it was discovered that the behaviour of a particle is affected by mere human observation; human observation by any race or creed of human being whether rich or poor. This being true, then religion is irrelevant in the nature of things and maybe the time has come to acknowledge the divinity within all human beings unconditionally. Postings of near death experiences are available to be read on the Internet literally by the thousands. Almost all experiencers agree on one thing: life continues beyond death of the body. We may safely assume that our mother earth was not a million-to-one life enabling convergence of infinite variables, but rather the result of the intelligent progressive planning over millions of years by an Awareness beyond our perception, limited as we are by our flesh. Yet, a tiny bit of this Awareness exists within us also, returning to the Source when we die. The beautiful experience of the return is what fascinates us as we read those near death experiences. Like many others, I believe a great change is underway as we head to 12/12/2012, but it has less to do with the end of the world and more to do with the gradual end of materialism and the importance of peaceful coexistence and spiritual awareness and growth, after all, we are eternal and have far to go. Namaste (the divine in me honours the divine in you)

What do you think about cougars? Posted: 7/3/2009 6:37:28 AM
Real love is spiritual, is found rarely, and only by the worthy and aware. It runs deeper than the body or it's age.

ed and masturbation Posted: 7/3/2009 6:13:25 AM
I think this sort of problem is mostly psychological. A battle is going on between the conscious and subconscious mind, and the subconscious, especially in the case of severe erectile dysfunction, is winning. I would be asking myself why I'm with this particular person if I'm not completely desirous of her. On the other hand if there is desire and yet dysfunction maybe the unconscious mind is questioning it's ability to support a larger family which the act of procreation may cause. I'm merely spewing possibilities; some soul searching is probably best.

Long vs short hair Posted: 6/28/2009 3:31:31 PM
This topic got me imagining any possible advantage to long hair. To ascertain any benefits I always imagine in extremes; so I imagined a woman with very long dense hair down to her shoes and nearly covering her face and my thought shifted to a vision of a dry mop standing downside up. Moving to the other end of the spectrum I imagined a bald woman, where facial features and head shape were obvious. It seemed logical to me that shorter hair was better if only for identification of features. However, if we take mankind back in time, and women were at the mercy of foul smelling, club wielding Cro-Magnon men; it was good that they were sexually triggered by longer hair on women as it, along with breasts, was interpreted in the primitive brain as a sign of being at a certain stage of maturity, although probably only age 15 or so. those were the days........
