Re: Wise Quotes Collection
I remember field trips to other forums. I got banned from Dawkins' official atheist circle-jerk.

Re: What's the Point of Religion?
Alex Jacob, Effectively there is no man alive for whom his 'religion' is not his very interpretive structure, or lens if you wish, of his existing in this plane of reality. I say that every person has one. So, someone who transcends his local religion is merely (necessarily) creating a new one? Espe...

Re: Core Dysfunction and what it does
I personally think we should all be willing to allow 'to the man' argumentation but that we need always to keep it under control. The 'hominem' for me is essentially the psychological, and I cannot dismiss that. It is part and parcel of who we are, or how we operate. Essentially, ad hominem is a pr...

What's the Point of Religion?
If an alien came to our planet looking for redeeming qualities of our societies, would religion be one? Is a religious society further advanced than a pre-religious one? Does religion have a point? If so, is that point still relevant? If we lost all religion, would humankind suffer? Is a post-religi...

War Against Eccentricity
The best way I can describe the mental health institution is that it is waging an all-out war on eccentricity. Don't psychiatrists have something better to do with their time?

Re: Some childlike notes on Socrates and Sophia
Our culture's reaction to wisdom is to lock up anyone with a lick of it. If you avoided the trap of academia, be wary of mental hospitals. New Age is not nearly as big of a trap as you think it is, not compared to the very real threat of imprisonment you can encounter by giving any of its propositio...

Re: Beyond the Material Plane
Diebert, knowing that it is an assumption is key. I have far too little information to believe it, let alone to have any real knowledge. Evidence is critical. If I took it as fact and believed it to be fact, it would be insanity. As it stands, it's something beyond my capacity to prove.

Beyond the Material Plane
Making the assumption that astral projection (Out of Body Experiences) is valid fact, and not mere hallucination, I came to the conclusion that there are more planes of existence than the material one. Namely the Prime Ethereal Plane, or astral plane. If we can build a machine that can punch holds i...

World War 3 began when the WTC fell. It's still going strong. Can you manufacture a peaceful solution?
Try reddit. Go to the subreddit "UnitedNations" and give them some pointers. They stopped listening to me.

You read too much. Go out into the world and figure out what each o those words means. Try the psychiatric system. They will bleed you dry. They try me, but I'm an overflowing goblet.

New Translation of Verse 1 of Tao te Ching
Nature can be spoken of, but is not unchanging. Names can be named, but is not constant. The Name of the Void is Heaven and Earth. Its origin is existence. The name of all things is the Mother. Now, ever free of deep-seated desire, then we may truly see the mind. The mind's mystery ever possesses de...

Re: Can people change?
I am substance. We are in substance. It seems to me this is an irrefutable, common-sense truth. The theologians raped the word "substance" and impregnated it with more bizarre connotations than the word "God". Honestly, you'd be better off saying "the world is made up of st...
