It seems there is a way to keep a spirit chained to a place: a human body. That is an interesting point. You question whether even when the spirit departs the body, is it free? Certainly, people with near death experiences, experience joy and freedom upon departing the body. But what then? The supp...

Hi Matt- Well, you don't know what herd mentality is then. It's not herd mentality going with the only source of information available to you. Yes, it is. But I will say I haven't seen any scientific arguments against it until you showed up with the satellite data. I mean, maybe. I'm sure if it's tr...

There are guys who really prefer women to be dumb, or at least dumber than they are.

If you have no physical presence, what's to stop you from drifting, willing yourself (?), away from heaven and going somewhere else? After it's all said and done, what keeps you in heaven or hell? Why can't you leave hell---does the "power" or will of Satan keep you "down there?"...

One,
They have had well over a thousand cases of terminal disease reversed. They cannot publish this fact as the FDA would shut them down.
Definitely so. I have some interest in a couple of their products, but I don't really want to become a member.

Cory, You don't appear to have actually read the article so there's not much to say. But the unexamined life is not worth living. Matt, you mentioned a consensus. What this man has to say on the consensus is quite damning: (This is the interviewer) because there are a lot of scientists who feel very...

The problem is, it sounds like he is strongly advocating practice - sitting zazen . How did Hakuin propose people obtain kensho?

EI- an example. Kind of reminds me of the 'niggardly' debacle we had here a few years ago. But I'm not so disappointed in the poor vocabulary as the fact that so many of these girls were ready to sign an outright silly petition, to "end the suffering of women." Maybe they only showed the f...

A golden age is dawning in my world, and freedom, communication and individual power is being extended into every corner. All the old powers and forms are falling away and evil doers are being exposed daily.
No wonder he doesn't want to off himself.

For instance, if you are lying on the beach wearing polarized sunglasses, every time a photon hits the lens it has to "decide" which way it is polarized, which determines if it goes through the lens or not. This happens many times per second. I don't know exactly how many, but let's say a...

Hello Unwise, The 'wakeful world' and the 'dream world' are only different in their degree of stability. I had pretty much come to the same conclusion, but I had consciousness on a continuum, with waking reality more real than dreams, due to that very stability. Or to what do you attribute the stabi...

I don't know why Shardrol or Tharan persist in thinking that Dan, Kevin and David mean anything other than exactly what they say. If they didn't mean women, they wouldn't say women. 99.999999% of them or so.
