i mean to be honest, all of this is speculation.
without much proof besides gospels and bedtime stories.
theres no definite proof of anything its all based on belief.

... which is why you need to experience it yourself and then join the appropriate club.

It's a beautiful system. Nobody on earth can cheat the system. Well... not really. ;P

Hey I got a question!

In terms of astral and so on, does hell actually exist. Has any astral voyager dared to find out?

Through retrieval accounts it is apparent that various hells exist, either personal little tailored ones and I would assume rather "pleasant" persistent collective ones as well.

There were various experiments done which indicated that the brain reacted to external stimuli *before* they actually occurred.
I wish I had the links....

good luck

love all

*sigh* No, good luck to you sir. Good luck to you...

Nobody here understands your nonsensical ramblings! 

You are loving the attention though, aren't ya.

Oooh, you have secret information. Secret handshakes. Cryptic codes. Oooh. Whoopdie doo.

Grow the F up.

I have noticed that "intelligent life form above a certain education point" [sic] tends to use proper punctuation and grammar. Further more, intelligent people also posts text that actually makes coherent sense.
The most intelligent ones can even post the most complex stuff so even a moron can understand it.

Just saying. Carry on...

All well and good, but it doesn't explain the gaining of verifiable information of events during an out of body experience... information that could not have been gained in any other way other than ones awareness being non-local.

How to make a time portal:
1. Make a nice little stable wormhole.
2. Place one end of the hole in earth orbit.
3. Take the other end of the wormhole on your shiny spaceship on a journey through space.
(You have to travel close to the speed of light so a large time variance can develop between the two ends of the wormhole.)
4. Bring the other end back to earth.

Tada, you have a working time portal thingy!

I think bad things will happen if matter or information tries to actually travel (or in any way interact) in the direction of a wormhole with a negative time variance though. Very bad things.

Theoretically though, you will end up with a non interactive  view screen into the actual past.

This is off course assuming wormholes can be made stable enough to begin with.  

If I may geek out pedantically here:
1. To saturate the poor universe with our *lovely* human intellect will require more than a couple of centuries. Even if we discover FTL travel technologies. I doesn't seem like Kurzweil realizes how big the visible universe is. Kind of pointless to speculate anyway since we aren't even sure how big it all really is beyond what we CAN see with our puny eyes.

2. If this was so easy, why aren't we seeing any evidence of large scale re-engineering of matter anywhere? At all. Anywhere. Are we the first to emerge? Highly unlikely.

3. Will the scanning technology destroy the original squishy brain? If not we are gonna end up with thousands of copies of people running around. Messy. Oh crap, I just realized, we are going to end up with copies of copies of copies anyway if this is viable tech. 

I know where you are coming from. I have been raised in a Christian home. Not a strict Christian home mind you, but still. Bless my parents, wonderful people. They never forced me to go to church.

There are many things about the christian faiths that I have grown to dislike. Yes, there are many universal truths in it and that's what I take from it.

Do I believe in an scapegoat entity called satan that has his thumb on my soul? No. People are basically selfish, and that more than anything is the root of evil. Selfish greed.

Do I believe in a god that allows people to burn in hell who have never even heard of him (eg, african tribesmen)? Nope. How can anyone?

If the christian faith is where you feel comfortable, fine go ahead. If it is not, then seek a different path. It is really that simple. The uncertainty you feel will dissipate as your mind opens up, trust me.

I agree, Id rather go to oblivion than sit in a choir with 140 000 doe eyed angels singing for a god who created purposefully limited thinking beings and then allow them to be eternally tortured in some horrible hellhole if they don't bow down to him.

It is childish and ridiculous and unnecessary to believe this. Its an archaic believe system based on 2000 year old points of view... and its demise is long overdue.
But hey, if you want to believe that and if believing it makes you feel special, go ahead. We can coexist peacefully as long as they don't try to convert me.

Why are these Catholic demons such picky guests? You never seem to hear of any of them possessing, oh lets say... a Buddhist for example. 

It just seems so intuitively right that there are billions of planets in the galaxy with life forms on them. Even complex life forms.

However, statistically, complex "intelligent" and cognitively sophisticated life seems to be relatively rare. I read somewhere that the closest probable "intelligent" life form with which we would have any hope of communicating would be at least a 1000 light years from earth. This is of course all conjecture based in assumptions and what we think we know. Which is not much, lets be honest. ;P

Even then, that seems very optimistic, a 1000 light years.... with the billions of planets in the galaxy there must be (or have been at some point at least) millions of civilizations out there.

And people believe this... I always thought the story went that NOBODY knew when it would happen, not even Jesus himself!

I'd choose annihilation over being in any way part a that chosen group of "special people" thank you very much.

What sane person would want to live in a world of a god that creates billions of thinking intelligent fragile imperfect beings, lets them grow up in various cultures who have never heard of him, only to then petulantly destroy nearly all of them in a fit of rage.

Yes that little boy in Africa is going to be thrown into a pit of hellish horror (or more mercifully annihilated) just because he didn't get the memo about the god who created him 6000 years ago.

It is unthinkable.

I believe there are many paths and points of view. Christianity is one such path. It makes YOU happy, and that is fine. Christianity of course itself would argue different, it would claim it is the only path, but that's okay too: we will get along fine as long as you don't try to force your views upon others. Everything will be fine as long as they dont play power games.

I don't know, I happen to love my life without being a pure bible under the arm Christian.

Mixing religious discussion and conspiracy theories? Oh boy... bad idea, generally.

The earth is not 6000 years old. Use your brain. I'm sorry, but making such a statement has zero basis in fact. I did check out this Kent Hovind guy... he certainly believed what he was saying, but the more the man spoke the more I got the feeling I was listening to a very very blind man. I did change my life in so far as that he only made me even more afraid of these religious types who try to paint biblical stories on a scientific canvas.

You must feel really special too that your lord "must really like you". That's another problem I have with religions, this sudden, "I'm so special now" thing. Makes me sick.

"The purpose here is that I want to educate you". Don't, please. I grew up in a Christian home. I know this. Ive seen this and left to open my mind to other paths.

The Universe didn't create itself out of nothing. There is evidence that this may in fact be the case

"Most will go to hell". Again, you are trying to scare me. I don't like that. The whole concept of hell is flawed and just plain wrong on so many levels. Hell is not a good tactic to use once one becomes even a little bit more enlightened and start using ones brain.

I'd rather pray to the Spaghetti-god as well.

Because I love pasta.

As we all know, the Spaghetti-god did in fact create the earth 4 billion years ago out of left over holy meatballs. Yes he did indeed. It is a fact.  

Fascinating experience! I have had semi-lucid dreamlike experiences of what seemed like other physical planets, but never confirmed astral/RTM experiences. I am jealous!

I do hope you will be able to return and tell us more about this place.

I was also thinking.... Earth is not the only place where ego's play in the mud. 

Hmmm, it does seem like a grudge of some kind is inevitable. Maybe you *should* get angry about it and let THEM know how this has affected you. Just choose the right time for it.

It seems like something that you actually do care about deeply and it needs to be directly confronted. I'm going to assume this is affecting your relationship with your fiancee and that you are unsure why they are acting like this. If yes, this needs to be scraped open nice and wide. No subtle tile left unturned. If people gets upset well then so be it. The reasons for their behavior needs to be spoken out loud, as uncomfy as that may or may not be for you.

Not having more detail can make me seem like Im speaking out of my arse, so I apologize for that in advance... but the suggestion is universal I think. Get angry man! If it hurts, don't keep it inside brotha! 

One interesting concept that is mentioned in the article is that the idea that there are billions of other galaxies may be an illusion, and it may actually be the same handfull of a few thousand galaxies that we are seeing over and over, from different angles, as spacetime bends around to show us these same galaxies at different positions and times in their spacetime history.

This idea just seems terribly messy to me. If this is true I'm going to have to have a talk with the architect... 
What kind of half-assed big bang is this that will only end up reflecting itself over and over. No! Just no! 

Weird things are going on in /your mind/



Best of luck to you Everlasting.

 

What would we call it?  Haxing to the max?  

What about the "Free Lunch Reality Dysfunction"?  

Seriously, how many laws of physics will have to temporarily pretend to be busy while you are basically dragging a couple o' thousand terajoules of energy in the form of matter into this objective reality?

I'm sure it will tire one out as well.  

Impossible? No. Impossible for a human? I think so.

I agree, massive "mojo" would be required... game breaking levels of the stuff in fact. 

Sound very much like you had..... ze old vibes? The sensations you describe are very common to OBE attempts.

As to what the point of them are. The vibes mark a boundary, both real and imaginary. These vibrations are there to help you by hindering you. Ride them. Ignore them. Haha 

I'm willing to bet you would have been just fine though.

I don't often have dreams where I die, but this morning I had one. It was a very detailed dream and I was semi lucid through some of it. Ill write down what I can remember.

Found myself on a unfamiliar beach among unfamiliar people. Somebody was building some sort of trampoline in the shallow surf, suspended between thick pointy pillars.
Suddenly somebody saw it and started screaming: A wall of water 100 feet high rushing at the beach at some ridiculous speed. I started running in the opposite direction. I knew how pointless it was to run at this point, but I ran anyway. There was just this growing rushing wind noise, as the wall of water was obviously moving a lot of air around.

There was a small lagoon further inland, and I jumped into a something like a rubber jet-ski type thing. It was going far too slowly. I didn't look back, just felt the tremendous power of the water rushing closer and closer. The "rubber jet-ski" got a puncture and started sinking, which made me let out a mirthless little laugh.
Strangely enough I made it to the other side of the little lagoon and got out to take refuge behind a wooden shack. There was a very beautiful but very hysterical girl next to the shack as well. Then the rushing noise grew louder and louder and finally it struck. I felt no pain. I died... and woke up.

What struck me was the detail of the dream, it all felt very real and detailed. One thing I did notice was that the water never pulled back, not sure if it is ALWAYS supposed to, but anyway. It was fun but also scared the crap out of me, this dream.

Cake?
Anyone for cake?

... if you say Pie, I'm going to eat you... >_>

Ill have some of that cake...

It can be a little confusing to understand the physics behind it and many people usually just give up. I have a degree in Computer Science with a minor in electrical engineering and mathematics and I have trouble with some of the concepts... Nevertheless, I am having more fun experimenting with this new technology than anything I have ever done. It's just too bad that most people don't understand how it works!

Well, scalar fields and quarts crystal energy storage... not to mention how to control this with ones mind.... this stuff is not exactly main stream.  Mainstream degrees are of only marginal assistance. Very little and mostly unreliable information is available, and then metaphysical jargon gets in the way of things. Obviously understanding will be limited.

And sadly there are so many fakers and disinfo out there.
