Last week I was thinking about the number PI....
Pi is een irrational number right...so you can only aprroach the number and never get the whole number. So is pi infinite?
Does irrational also means infinite?
Pi is a number that comes up everywhere in physics and maths.

What do you think of the idea that you can compare the whole,...the all-entity...the universe...all the energy or wathever you want to call it, with PI!

IS THE UNIVERSE IRRATIONAL?

Judging by that quote, it's a wonder your brain hasn't out-grown your skull.
That's a genius statement and I like it.  I think it's pretty odd how Pi revolves around everything too.

Hmm, my mind is entering the universal flux matrix-o-tron...  I'm tuning into your vibes...  downloading emotional data...  10%... 20%... 30%.... 50%.... 60%.... 90%.... 99%..... 99%..... 99%........ 99%............... complete...

I think hidden somewhere in your being is a search for answers, even though you never stated a direct question.  You feel that you've never found your place, and are full of frustration that you just don't get the people around you, and would love to find some people who were less judgemental and easier to get along with.

quote: I don't fit in with my age group. To me, most of them are fools. They all act like I'm some weird loser or something. Not ONE person can talk to me in a normal manner. Perhaps I'd just like to find my place? It sure as hell isn't here, I'll tell you that much.

Often the more open minded people (i.e. think outside whatever is shown on tv or in school classes etc, i.e. has a brain of their own, i.e. you and me and everyone else here) intimidate other people.  Also, because we tend to be nicer and more understanding people will take advantage to bring you down because they're sick of seeing you strutting around using big words and talking about complex philosophy.

I used to suffer a similar problem at school, not being able to get along with anyone because well I thought they were all stupid and they wouldn't listen to me, and I'd get defensive and they'd be offended.  I didn't see this however because I was stuck in a vicious cycle...  Problems at home were the root of my troubles, but it took me many years to work out.  I'd be made to feel stupid and useless at home and I'd go to school with this attitude of "gee, I feel stupid but I know I'm not, so I'm gonna set out to prove everyone wrong".  At first I tried talking with people to convince them but quickly enough they got sick of it because they wanted to have "fun" conversations about "fun" stuff like motorbikes or cars or go-karts or something simple.  Thinking requires effort, and considering most people like to be relaxed and chilled out as often as possible they consider their free time to generally be a "heavy thinking free zone".  The end result of the cycle was the people at school treat me like the dumb loser I was trying to show that I wasn't.

Because I shared so few interests with the people around me (as is still the case now) I found it was hard to communicate with them, for example I couldn't hang with the basketball crew because I didn't know anything about the NBA (I'm Australian), I couldn't hang with the library kids cos they'd spend all lunchtime playing magic the gathering.  I ended up settling for the band of outcasts who, I found, were easy to get along with in an I wont judge you-you won't judge me kind of way.  It still didn't satisfy my desire for "intelligent" company because I just wanted someone to talk to about my interests.  I have at least three good mates from school who I've slowly found share different aspects of my interests, all at different levels of understanding so we're always catching up with each other.

But my point...  hmm do I have one.  Hang on let me check...  nope, I must've left in my other pants....  oh hang on here it is. (I'm a rambler)

You want to find your place, just as I wanted to.  I've come to realise that you need to follow your heart, make some tough choices and also see that wherever you feel comfortable, that is your place.  A lot of it has to do with learning to feel more comfortable in various situation, at least with me I've forced myself to get along with people I'd otherwise deem stupid, and its quite a learning experience, especially when you get involved in interpersonal politics.  It seems to involve a lot of listening to other peoples sides of stories and taking sides and saying "yeah?" "Oh so she fell from the balcony?" "you think Adrian pushed her?  Thats no good" while all the time you're thinking "who are these people we're talking about!!!!

see im rambling again, anyway I was trying to make a point there but probably ended up sounding like an 80 year old man telling stories that go nowhere.  Which is a worry since I'm only 23.

You pretty much hit the nail right on the head!  That blew the candles right off of the cake.  A lot of what you said applies to me, but in a different style.  I'd compare, but you pretty much said everything that needed to be said.
A lot of the time, I really do wish I could be on the same level as other people, but at times, it's almost like they're too busy being stuck in their own little world, dominated by "American Idol", and "football", and all the "cool" trends of hip-hop fashion.
Driving their vibrating cars down the street as you look, shaking your head in disappointment.  ( the cars vibrate because of the bass, for those of you who didn't get that ).
A lot of the time, they're all so defensive in their own way that they can't let anything get inside of their little "image" they try to provide for other people.  You have the girls that wear the belts that aren't even going through their belt loops...they wear the wooden-soled shoes that go "clunk clunk clunk", which in the end sounds like a pi**ed off cowboy clip-clopping down the hall.  When there's more than one of them, it sounds like a caravan of camel.
Sorry I branched off into modern style there...but my point is, people don't just try to live anymore.  They try to look pretty for the rest of the world to look at, and create some sort of "image" that keeps talkitive people from learning who they really are.
Believe it or not, some of the people I meet and talk to are like androids.  Like they've been "programmed" to be a certain way.  You talk to them, be it in person or online, and they're just always in " DUHH, WADDYA SAY? " mode.  You use a big word and they struggle to keep from passing out.  The world is becoming more and more simple.  The more TV the world watches, the more dull they become.  If I were able to go 23 years into the future, I would be a genius.  I would be the smartest person alive.  Do you know why?  Television, and all of the "styles" that people try to base their life on will deplete their intelligence until there's not a drop left.  Reality TV is rotting minds as we speak.  All that anyone knows about around me is what they see on MTV or what they hear in anything over-rated.

I'd better shut up before someone in here lobs a grenade at me.
Sorry I spoke so much.

well, i'd think this topic belongs more in the astral projecting forums myself, but i'm sure a mod will move it for you []

i just had my first ap a couple of nights ago. but if i have another one soon and am able to find you (and if i remember to try. i've got a horrible memory sometimes ^_^; ) then i'll come visit [] .

~kakkarot

I haven't been able to AP for a while...
I think I'm only allowed in the astral realm sometimes or something.
As for the Astral Pulse Island...is it located anywhere or is it possible to just go there by the thought?

[/quote]I just know I am going to be flamed for this one..but here goes...I will be 37yr next month.  When I was younger..yes alot younger [] I never hung out with other kids, infact I was friends with adults more than the kids my age.  I was into all the weird stuff of course. (but that could have been because of my Dad, whom is a reluctant medium)
The thing is, I never felt I was different.  When I read your posts it seems you WANT to be special, and looked up to...that isn't bad, until the ego takes over.  And believe meeeeeeeee...hormones can make you think and act different than you normally would.  My second set of hormones have been kicking in for a year now and sheesh, it sucks how you feel out of sorts, but in a few days all is right with the world again.[]

Blackstream made a good point...check back in 20yrs and see how you feel then, my bet is you are going to say, "oh, goodness...did I really say those things?"

Nay []

I don't care to be looked up to or to have attention, I'd just like to live in harmony with other human beings, and enjoy my time here, rather than dwell over it, knowing how odd I am compared to them, and how they make it so apparent.

Hi L.A.

It would probably be fair to say that most of us here who are looking into the possibility of worlds that exist outside of our own, most likely feel this way.

I frequently get little snippets of visions of another world - another time. These can be brought on by a feeling, or more usually something I see as I'm driving somewhere. I don't know that I'm not supposed to be here, there's most likely a very good reason that I am, but nonetheless,  at times I feel like this is not my world - I'm just a visitor here.

Important thing is to be mindful of the fact that for whatever reason, we ARE here, there's not a great deal we can do about it, and we might as well make the best of the situation we're in now. After all, we're not here for long.

Regards,
James.

Sometimes thoughts come into my head, sort of like a deja-vu feeling, but see, these thoughts don't make sense to me.  It's like they're in a different language or something.  They're only there for about 3 seconds.  As I think about them for that 3 seconds, I'm like " WAIT! I know this thought...it's so familliar " and after the 3 seconds, it's like something is drowning it out so I won't find some sort of truth.
It hasn't happened for a while but it did a lot when I was in my early puberty.

quote]Hehehehehe...I hate to break it to you, I WAS asking you..[]

Next time I will be sure, to not be so cryptic in my wording.  Thanks for clearing that up for me.  May I add...in this post I had the feeling you were a bit defensive. (just so you know, that was a statement on my part, not a question) Ahhhhhh, how I love clearing the air.[]

Nay

I guess we're clear then.  Didn't mean to start combat back there or anything.  yes, I did get a little defensive, but that just comes from being misunderstood all the time.  No offense taken, none dished out.

What if it was someone in this forum who just changes their appearance to look like that when they go into the astral realm?
It's highly unlikely, but that would be pretty wacky.

Funny how many people do it then...
You see a thread with 1 reply and 20 reads.

Apparently, this is a very common feeling for adolescents.  Must be the hormones...

It's not hormones or adolescence, bubs.
What I've felt is something that I've felt since I was old enough to think or talk.  I've had various happenings where I feel as if I am one thing, and the rest of my surroundings are another.
Why do I feel the need for metaphysics, and all of this other stuff?
I'm sixteen.  I should be out with the rest of the kiddies playing basketball, and scamming chicks like they all do.  Why aren't I?
People I'm around must sense this thing in me that totally turns them away from me.  This is almost like something that would keep someone from wanting to enter a neon-pink room.  There's just something about it that drives them away, and says " no, bad news, stay away. ".
My way of speaking, my intelligence ( however much of that I have ), and my way of acting altogether is so odd for other people that they don't know how to handle it.  If it were my choice, I would be one with every person that walked.  The thing is, it's just not possible.  Most of the people I meet, I notice their less visible features from square-one.  Some people, I can see boastfulness, confusion, ADOLESCENCE (crystalinity), and a need for love.  
I notice a lot of these things.  I know that sometimes I'm wrong, but I've spent most of my life just observing people.  Instead of communicating, everyone I've ever been around has been somewhat of a piece of work for me to look at.  I know I got a little off topic, but that just helps me explain how I feel that much better.  

Glowsoftly's remark is an excellent example of how I feel.  For some reason, I feel like I have some sort of instinctual sense that nobody else I've ever met has.  I have this feeling of awareness.  A lot of things that nobody else is concerned with, I find myself noticing.  I'm not saying I'm any better than ANYONE else, and I'm not putting anyone else at a lesser level than myself.  It's just that most of the time, I feel like a strawberry, sitting in a crate of grapes.

Pamela, where can I find your book?  I just might look into that.

Now I KNOW we're all on the same planet, but maybe you guys in here have something different that a lot of people don't have.

I'm guessing it's called having an open mind, most people of which don't really have.  I even mention the idea of writing down your dreams to most people and they are like "lol wtf why?".  I wouldn't even dream (haha... bad pun) of trying to tell them about obes.

That's the closest to how I feel!  
The thing is, trying to explain OBE's to the standard human being, to me, is like trying to live in the everyday life.
Everything I do or say makes them cock one eyebrow at me.

Just wait til' I see all the negative feedback that comes in on this topic.

I am trying to make a sound from the Brainwave generator for telekinesis.  I just cannot figure out how to use it.  Could somebody explain in detail how to work it or make me a sound for telekinesis that is 60 min long?  I'm sorry if this is a lot of trouble.  I cant find the site that the generator was on and I dont think they explained how to use it really well either.

Thanks

I can't help you there.  There's a lot of technical stuff that I don't understand, but I'm replying to this simply because I know that not many people will.  They're all so nice that they just read it and leave, because it doesn't help THEM at all.  I'm sorry I can't help you, but good luck finding help.

No offense..but that was exactly the feeling I got from your thread. [] And that was BEFORE you posted this nice little comment....

Perhaps you didn't mean "here" as of on the AP forums?  Cause if that is your attitude, it will get you no where fast.[^]


Nay

I hate to break it to you, but if you would have asked me to be more specific, I would be.  When I say " It sure as hell isn't here ", I'm not talking about the Astral Pulse forum.  I do have a life outside of the internet you know.  I'm talking about where I go to school, the county ( just so you know, that says COUNTY, not COUNTRY )  I live in, the people from around here.  I like everyone in the AP forum.

Sorry about that!

I left the computer and got a score of 7.
It's BS

Final Score:30
1.875 standard deviations

A score of this many hits can be expected by chance every 30 runs.

Boys and girls, I do believe it's a scam.

My problem is different.  Have you ever set something down, and you know exactly where it is, and two seconds later, when you go to pick it up, POOF.  Gone.  Totally disappeared.  In another dimension.  SOMEWHERE I can NEVER go to reclaim it.
Ever happen to anyone?

not to seem self centered by making this thread, I was just curious what types of vibes people would get from me by reading.

Just joshin' ya.
Here's my real results.

Root: under-active (-13%)
Sacral: open (38%)
Navel: open (44%)
Heart: under-active (-38%)
Throat: over-active (69%)
Third Eye: open (63%)
Crown: open (31%)

I'm heartless, and rootless.

Root : I think I lost it (-128%)
Sacral : Super-glued shut ( 0% )
Navel : I let my friend borrow it ( ?% )
Heart : It's out of fuel ( 0% )
Throat : Under a rock ( 2% )
Third-eye : I don't have one ( 0% )
Crown : Only for a king ( -200% )

I have good chakras.

i'd suggest spending more time just trying to feel the energy (through meditation or something akin to it). from there try spending time learning how to move and control the energy, then practice both sensing and control together until you get really good at it.

~kakkarot

I'm not able to reach meditation, ever, ever, ever, EVER.
I don't know why I can't, I've just never gotten there before.  All I've been able to do is OBE and Lucid Dream.  Maybe I'm a robot?

quote:Originally posted by SpectralDragon

I was once in a very vivid and lucid dream that had changed my whole life. In this dream everything seemed real. Been meaning to make a post on it but can't find the time or the correct words to describe it. I could FEEL the fire being thrown at me and could FEEL the emotions of everyone there. It was quite strange and wonderfull. []

I never knew that feeling fire thrown at you was such a wonderful thing, hah.  Just a joke.
As for Askeltal, I've had a run-in with a neg.  The way I dealt with it was I just ignored it and it went away.  If you ignore this force that is torturing you, and it doesn't go away, then I don't think it's a neg.  I think it's something else.

enderwiggin: evil done in the name of good is still evil. by the way you post, you seem to be rather itching for a fight sometimes. perhaps you shouldn't be.

i realize how absurd this might sound like coming from me, but humans are humans and are in a different domain than truly evil spirits.

~kakkarot

This is my opinion, and it could be wrong, but there's nothing wrong with a little tail-whapping every once in a while?  Some people deserve it too, don't you think?
