It seems to me that I'm the only guy that was silly enough to use my real name (or Partly) as a CS handle. My full name is actually Luke Onassis (LukeOn). Yes, family to Aristotle.

Just wondering if anyone else also used their real name on CS or partly?

Its a fun day here in SA.

Seen lots of programmes since that dreadful day and still haunts me watching those poor people jump to their deaths rather than burn to death,.....

The reason why daughters love their DAD the most is that there is atleast one man in the world who will never hurt her.

“Death is the most misunderstood phenomenon. People have thought of death as the end of life. That is the first, basic misunderstanding.

“Death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life. Yes, it is an end of something that is already dead. It is also a crescendo of what we call life, although very few know what life is. They live, but they live in such ignorance that they never encounter their own life. And it is impossible for these people to know their own death, because death is the ultimate experience of this life, and the beginning experience of another. Death is the door between two lives; one is left behind, one is waiting ahead.

“There is nothing ugly about death; but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don’t like to talk about it. They won’t even listen to the word death.

“The fear has reasons. The fear arises because it is always somebody else who dies. You always see death from the outside, and death is an experience of the innermost being. It is just like watching love from the outside. You may watch for years, but you will not come to know anything of what love is. You may come to know the manifestations of love, but not love itself. We know the same about death. Just the manifestations on the surface – the breathing has stopped, the heart has stopped, the man as he used to talk and walk is no more there: just a corpse is lying there instead of a living body.

“These are only outer symptoms. Death is the transfer of the soul from one body to another body, or in cases when a man is fully awakened, from one body to the body of the whole universe. It is a great journey, but you cannot know it from the outside. From outside, only symptoms are available; and those symptoms have made people afraid.

If I could create a program to sort thru profiles and weed out some of the most undesirable ones, I guess it would simply filter for the word "drama". Apparently, 96.7%* of the most inane people who place online profiles do so with some words to the effect that they have no and want no drama in their lives.

I mean sure, I know what they are really saying is they don't want negativity and they want to avoid people with the tendency to argue and fight and such. Nevertheless it's pretty much like those people who say they want "someone real" or "no liars", "cheaters" and such.

Like all those dramatic lying, cheating sorts will read your profile, gulp and move onto someone less particular? NO! Of course they wont! Once you declare that you want no dramatic lying cheaters, it's like you've made yourself a magnet for said types!


As for those profiles fecklessly crying against "drama".... (evil grin) don't knock it 'till you try it!

i recently got a mail from guy,he was really friendly and so we exchanged numbers.we talked for about a week,to me he was a good friend so far.three days later he said that he was looking for a s*xual relationship and not a social one,he stopped communicating.

Some persons claim that they experience “astral travel”, usually through the practice of some form of meditation. However, what does the term “astral travel” actually mean? Does it mean that one's soul, spirit, or some part of one's being literally travels in “outer space” among the stars and that one is able to visit other stars and planets in the cosmos? What is the basis for such a claim?

Ordinarily, our consciousness operate within a range of frequencies limited by our physical senses. This is usually referred to as the third dimension or 3D. A band or range of frequencies normally constitute a dimension.

I believe that meditation and certain “spiritual practices” may enable one's consciousness to experience a different dimension or range of frequencies. The experience may give one an “out of this world” feeling. However, it does not mean that one's soul, spirit, etc., has actually travelled to another world, involving the stars and planets. It is simply the experience of a frequency dimension that is different from our ordinary 3D dimension. The experience is grounded right here in one's consciousness. The reality of such an experience is recognised and accepted by science and is referred to as an “altered state of consciousness”.

It is my view that the term “astral travel” originated millineums ago based on certain meditation practices linked with yoga, shamanism, etc.. At that time, the state of scientific knowledge was not sufficently developed to identify the experience as being related to a different frequency dimension or as an “altered state of consciousness”.

Some persons claim that during meditation or some “spiritual practice”, they have actually travelled to other planets, etc., hence the term “astral travel”.
I would like to issue a challenge to anyone who makes such a claim.

Travel to some planet that has not yet been investigated by our scientists or are currently being investigated and report back to us about conditions on the planet that you observe during your travel there.

Please note that I am not knocking meditation or such “spiritual practices”. I recognise the benefits of such experiences.
However, I would contend that the results of such practices are manifested in the individual's consciousness itself and not in actually travelling among the stars or “astral travel”.
I can accept the term as a figurative expression but not literal.

(Dictionary definition: astral – of or relating to the stars)

Have you ever experienced “astral travel”?

What do you think?
