Mullahs and masturbation

More sad than amusing, but in the end Free Willie will Win.

the "suppressed anger", "negativity" and "hatefulness", as you rightly question, are again more applicable to David. Not that I've seen. In the context of much lighter versions of those emotions, Dan maybe a little bit in the tone he uses, but even that sort of complim...

In any way, don't you always have something to lose, and something you possess, something you can't afford to lose? Thats my view on the issue. I kind of look at this enlightenment business as just rearranging the way one views the self. Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs one moves up the levels unt...

Nothing only exists in mathemetics and lingustics ie it is an abstract with no basis in reality. Nor do negative numbers for that matter. It just represents an absence of a direct causal duality or reality. As nothingness cannot be caused it cannot exist. It has no attributes for causality to work w...

[If A is everything, where does not-A exist?] Not-A is the future that the present and past MUST grow into. Time is infinite, and if something is infinite then it must always be. If it must always be then the future must always occur and thus it can be referred to as existing as it cannot be otherwi...

Climate Myths from Politicians

Pick the common theme. Who would have thunk it :)

For the record, I had been thinking a similar thing that David pointed out about Alex and his parents a few weeks ago. [thus you hide away in cultural and religious theorizing] This theorising and his general high level of memory recall he has found to be an excellent utility for attention, for draw...

It appears unconscious, it appears unmoving, it appears large, it appears far away but when Subject and Object snap into one what can I say about what I mistook for a tree now. Like TA, I never actually believe that really happens. I think it is delusion. Creating spiritualism where there is none! ...

Cathy, will you consider taking my email course? Tell me about your lawn. Anything like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QUEdhrHhwQ&feature=relmfu ============================================================ Ahh synchronicity strikes again. Searching for Cathy Preston led me to look in Ama...

Alex, One recognizes, immediately, the logical imperatives that you are using. To propose a 'historical man' (a preacher, a sage, a troublesome thinker) one has to place him in a truly human frame, and for you, above, that is youthful impetuousness.....it is part of the basis of Western culture and ...

Osho seems correct to me. (10) Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes." These are the words of a young man. He is revelling in being a catalyst. He still has the hero desire and wants to see results/outcomes brought about by his own actions....

Laird, Did you miss the quote I offered that suggested that "the main dude" is often impersonated? That’s convenient If intelligent humans can learn English, then why not intelligent spirits? Because it is far too big a leap of faith as to how human like intelligence, or any form of intell...

"The runner started spelling out L-U-C-I-F-E-R". So these spirits, and not just any spirit but the main dude himself, know the English language and are just hanging around waiting for a group of people, not just one, to use a ouija board so that they can get folks to spell out the word. W...

A belated Evil post I also reacted to Lairds statement at the time, and I'm repeating a few things others have said here…but so what. I recognise, David, through experience and through reading, that there are metaphysical forces beyond humanity that wish it ill. Whether those forces are, as TA sugge...

Hi Laird, It is true that I experience at least some doubt about whether there is some form of existence that "is not of this world". Something with a plane of existence, that does not require the sort of physical structure we see in things, not even the wave structure of electromagnetic w...

[There is a part of the heart that is mind] That is actually literally true (probably). http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/Heart,%20Mind%20and%20Spirit%20%20Mohamed%20Salem.pdf In terms of reaction speed it makes sense that the immediate reaction needed after certain observations might be quicker if they ...

Heidegger I doubt I'll ever attempt to read Heidegger. His words do nothing at for me. Perhaps my IQ is simply insufficient, it is certainly a factor, but I don't like any post-nietzsche western philosophers at all. They just rabbit on and on about what seems like nothing to me. Surely they could ha...

[The freaky thing is what happened next: not long after we began invoking, and in a house in which all doors and windows were closed, a huge wind tore through the living room where we were sitting, and after that the glass began to move in answer to our questions] Reminds me of a Monthy Python skit....

You mean reason and education is not enough? But for me it was a very illuminating moment when I participated with a group. The "possessed", a normal adolescent I knew turned suddenly violent, foaming, screaming, rolling, veins popping out, cursing, challenging, posing - all the 'classic'...

[Evil is evil especially when it is chosen, inflicted, justified. Hitler consciously chose to murder millions] What if our repulsion of what Hitler did ended up preventing further major wars? One could also take the nuke bombing of Japan as evil, seeing as it appears not to have been necessary - bu...

I think this guy was around here 5 or so years ago or more. I think he was carrying on then about his sexual practices. Don't bother communicating with him. In doing so we give his madness value, and this strengthens his false view of himself as rational and as something special – his fantasy world ...

There are some who say that, ultimately, all evil will be reconciled with divinity, and that even those who now practice evil are of divine origin. It would be comforting to know that this were true, but even if it is, it leaves open the question of how and why the demonic originated, and why divin...

Abundance is our future

Every feeling is like a summary of data, a quick encapsulation of all the information processing that we don’t have access to. (As Pham puts it, emotions are like a “privileged window” into the subterranean mind.) When it comes to making predictions about complex events, this extra information is o...

Both groups are quite delusional so one should not support either. In any case they aren’t really Jews or Muslims as if they were distinct species of human beings – they are just people lead to dogma by various vested interests over the centuries – it is a learnt attribute*. I find them quite alike,...
