Re: Life after Death - Why Bother?
Ardy. So, my question is: What happens to us when we die? Where does the energy that makes us up go? Where do we go? I'm content with a non-romantic answer that we dissipate into en ether and that is it. And I'm with you, it's disheartening when people construct their own truths based merely on fear...

Re: Life after Death - Why Bother?
Ardy, what a great subject. When I died briefly last year, I experienced "nothing" also. But, my memory of the event was clouded by alcohol and prescription drugs. Of course, when one is dead why can we assume that memories are possible. I, like many people here, agree that we came from so...

Re: Truth
Once I was in a bathroom with a mirror in back of me. I turned to look at the image of my backside. It was not true.

Re: Genius Types
No thank you. I can't dance very well. I'm not going to suppress my feelings here, as feelings are part of the experience of life. But I do like your style.

Re: Genius Types
Ardy, Your reply is honest and good. There is the same appeal and zest for genius as there is for winning the lottery. It's all icing and no cake. It can make you sick and doesn't satisfy. Seeking to satisfy the ego or the immediate gratifier only results in temporary glee. True happiness does seem ...

Re: Genius Types
One of Gardner's intelligence categories is Existential Intelligence, or the ability to tackle deep questions about human existence, etc. This is category that I see covered well by the posts in this forum. Personally, I've been cast as a "creative genius", but that category don't exist on...

Genius Types
Do you subscribe to Gardner's and others' idea that there are multiple types of intelligences? If so, in what category of intelligence do you or others consider yourself a genius? Also, if your genius is ascribed to one type of intelligence, do you find yourself using your genius in that one type of...

Time for the upload to eternity- in about 50 years?
I've heard that we're not too far from being able to upload our consciousness to a substance with greater durability than our withering brains. Just think of the implications of a new world that can allow our consciousnesses to live forever without the strife that we endure as human beings. I imagin...

I am God, You are God.
Are you God? Am I God? Imagine that there is no God outside ourselves, but instead you and I and everyone we know are God. Of course we all originated from something in some type of beginning, I mean, before we became the humans that we are, right? Or, have we all been floating around in the univers...
