Mitch: 'Who is like God?'

and my last name isnt in there..

Yea, they can't be too lost if you found them.

The album cover for Lateralus by Tool.

Are you planning on suicide then, or to be very aware during death? It's going to suck for you if it's fast then, the pain will be too distracting I guarantee you.

Why would it? Its possible to suffer severe injury and feel little or no pain, the body has incredible natural pain killers. Also, if you were actually dying, the sensory input to your brain drops down to nothing, so pain shouldn't be too much of a distraction.

Maybe rapists are just guys with blocked chakras too, why should be punish them for that?

The answer is short: no one should never be punished for anything. Criminals and rapists should be isolated from society not because they deserve punishment, but because they are dangerous to other people. I think that even idea of "prison" is an extremely stupid idea. They should work in guarded camps, not waste their time in prisons.

Amen.

I've heard people were able to make light bulbs explode...

The easiest method:
-drill a hole in the lightbulb
-fill the lightbulb with gunpowder
-place lightbulb in the lamp again
-turn the light on
My friend tried this method, and it was EXTREMELY effective  

I hope he / she wasn't near by.

Is it just me, or does anyone feel like they require less sleep now that they started doing more energy work?

You're also always getting older, and thats natural too.

I would think something like a galaxy colliding with ours would be something we would be aware of much sooner, though there isnt really any direct collision, gravity could do some mean things.

I second both motions.

I know many atheists who are human.

That sums up a lot, but not objectively.

Squirt with a water gun.

I live in Canada man, its cold in the winter..

How do you know you're not already dead, and just not consciouss of it.

If you could step around karma, karma wouldn't exist.

Christianity as a belief wouldn't exist without people to believe it, so yes I think atleast part of christianity definatley discriminates.

Does being aware of the placebo affect in any aspect of metaphysics change your views and beliefs on them? If instead your mind creates the reality for you, do you view things differently rather than simply believing that it is an objective reality? I would list examples, except I'm not sure how much knowing about them myself has really helped me.

I hope I made this clear..

I really dont see the point in evangelizing psychic abilities, if people dont want to believe it they arent ready or wont believe it at all. Even if someone could prove that psychic abilities exist, then those who would have previously not believed in it would have truly learned nothing themselves. In the end, I think that when people learn or believe something on their own, that it is much more authentic and understood.

Telos, when those things are aquired, they become a part of yourself, in a sense..

Isnt one of the key points of christianity (and pretty much most religions religion) to move way from materialism?

Wow, lazyness really does pay off..

What makes you think that god wouldn't kill righteous people too, like in Rome long ago, when christians were killed for being christians.

In regards to the other post..

logic,

50% is Faith,
50% is Experience.

Try intravaneous DMT and maybe you will see why.

I understand the desire for OBE's here and the "placebo" effects it may produce by Robert Bruce's techniques.

So yes I know where you are coming from.

I am quite surprised to hear that answer. Trying DMT is something I have long wanted to do, yet I have also been too afraid to do so, nor been able to find it.

*edit* I hope I didn't spoil your unique thread..

But then again they objectify everything, and that's when it all starts going wrong. Oh well.

The role of most christians.

How much of your belief is faith, Soma-Sight, and how much is personal experience?

Soma-Sight,

Christianity is the path of one who cannot accept or create his or her own identity and definition of reality.

The Bible is a vast and resourceful book which can be interpreted many ways (as with any good literature) that was concievabley written before, after and without any direct creation by Christ.

I only consider myself selfish in ways of individuality, defining what reality means to me, not the self-centeredness of one whom is concerned with pleasing and satisfying only themselves. I percieve myself to be a positive, compassionate and accepting person, which is far less "selfish" by your terms, than you or your religion would lead you to believe.

Not to my experience no, Death is very ficle about things.  She just tends to hang around you.  Yes I said she, I wonder where the idea that Death had to be a skelton with a black robe came to mind, oh well.  From what I have seen of her, she wear black yes, but mostly things that you or me would wear, she likes to tease people about it.  She is also very powerful too, when my friend talked to her, he wanted to fight, she said ok, snapped her fingers and said that he was dead from the neck down.  Just don't tinkle her off and you can become a good friend, though business is still business.

Seems a little elaborate to me.
