Thanks for the reply. I am happy for you that you won't be here for the winter depression that is coming It's pure survival Enjoy your warm fall and mild winter in Spain...
I spilled coffee on my man package today...It looked really funny walking out of the cafè with a huge coffee stain in the unit area Man, the looks I got...
I did not prove anything, just made an observation because this issue has been on my mind for a long time. The problem is that I have metaphysical theories to reason away. I don't have hard evidence. However, this is currently being looked at in science. So everything is just theory for now, but bear in mind how often science is reproving itself.
Empirical science fails to explain or even entertain the notion that certain phenomena and supernatural occurrences exists. The evidence exists in layered forms of perplexing complexity that cannot be explained by natural processes as observed by empirical science.
The only thing I can really say about inherent morality and make a paranormal case would be to use Carl Jung's theory on the collective unconscious. That humanity has inherited mythological systems and moral codes that we inherit from distant ancestors. A collective unconscious or a library of knowledge existing on a different frequency that is connected to our individual unconsciousness. I can unpack this further with other theories and concepts and make a valid argument...it's my project right now. I can also add that we all have this goodness in us that is part of the Source. Conversely, we also have this cruelness or evil or selfish ego that is also part of the God Source. We have a divine spark that brings us closer to ourselves and allows us to evolve as spiritual beings. On the other hand, we have a selfish ego that takes us away from positive energy and unconditional love, and we may regress as spiritual beings. So I'll just stop right there and observe other posts with a keen and observant eye.
How do we establish a code of ethics and morals without religion? Is morality/ethics inherent? Conversely, we have to ask if immorality is inherent as well. Are we natural born killers? Tough questions that have been debated for thousands of years.
Atlantis and Lemuria and their belief or spirituality of "The Law of one". Supposedly the survivors carried their knowledge and spiritualities (not all of them) over to Egypt and to various parts of South America. Bear in mind that Atlantis goes back between 12,000 and 70,000 thousand years.
However, we cannot discount the indigenous cultures ( Native Americans, Aborigines, Sami) spiritualities that were living parallel with Atlantis and further down the road with Egypt and Greece. They had their code of ethics and spirituality way before the Europeans and Americans did their atrocities. I'll just say that the question still remains, is morality and a code of ethics inherent? Is it instinct? Anyways, this question can only be answered in some kind of metaphysical ( the ultimate nature of being and the world based on the principles of reality transcending those of any particular science.) content as far as I can conclude...
The way I observe and perceive it, is that when we are born into this world, these code of ethics and morals are waiting for us. It's already in place and has been in place for hundreds of years. Our parents, teachers, and other elders promote their code of ethics on to us as we grow up. They tell us either no, yes, or maybe in regards to what is okay to think and do. The variables that are surrounding this issue are slippery. First we need facts. We have true or false facts that are proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and we have circumstantial facts that are pending. However, no moral facts exist to be really known. Anyone can make a case that moral knowledge exists, but moral facts are relative to the social groups in different countries in which moral sensibility is formed. What's morally right in one society may not be morally right in another. Obviously there is no agreed universal moral truth.
Then we should factor in how we value actions, possessions, and situations. Our reactions are either reasonable or unreasonable as to how we define it on our terms. Whether it is a reaction from social conditioning, ego, or for the good for oneself and humanity. With those choices, actions, and reactions come accountability and consequences for your actions. What's right or wrong? It's really up to you. Your choices will have benefits and consequences. Those choices and actions are ones that you are going to be responsible for and accept. You may encounter judicial liabilities, social liabilities, and psychological or emotional liabilities. This moral dilemma is associated with how we value our relationship with ourselves independently, with others in our society, with God/religion/spirituality, Atheism,and nature.
I agree. I am not denying it at all. We all have different feelings and perceptions towards love. I think my problem these days is that I have too much resistance in saying it's love right away....but that is just me and I am in no way declaring that my perception of love should be universal....If you feel love Sommer, than I think that's awesome....plus you were married to one who you felt love at first sight with, so I do believe it exists on many levels. I am just too hard headed to give in that fast...
In many ways, yes. Like I said in my last post, if I feel something without undressing the woman with my eyes, then I think it is a little more profound than lust or just wanting to slam it vigorously...but I won't call it love at first site. Love to me is something manifested over time.
But to call it love at first sight is a personal experience and love has different meanings for different people. So if somebody really does feel love at first site, I don't think we are the ones to tell then it's not.
I would assume when we talk to the person everyday, spend consecutive weekends together, share feelings with the other person, and make plans together.
I am trying to remember. I think it's been a long time since I experienced love at first sight...meaning like I really felt love at first site. I think I was 21 when it last happened...and nothing happened. It was some girl from Alaska, she gave me her number after we chatted in some parking lot, but she never was home or returned my calls....
Actually now that I think about it, I do experience some powerful emotions upon fist sight. However, I know better not to call it love at first sight, but I do wonder if this initial feeling of connection when our eyes meet means that she is a potential soulmate for this life time or from some other lifetime.
I can usually gauge this pretty well if I don't immediately undress the woman upon first sight with my thoughts. It's like I get lost in her eyes and feel something strong coming from her energy field...
Nintendo is cool...I have a virtual nes and pretty much play my son in Tecmo and RBI. I do help my daughter with all the Mario games...they keep asking me to download Zelda, but I really don't want them in front of the computer for like a week straight...lol
Well, if they are not getting married, they are still splitting up. The couples with kids that is. It's counted as a divorce if they have been living together and have had kids.
Oh man, there are a multitude of reasons for this...
The divorces started happening in the 60's and 70's. Ever since then, it's been a steady progression. It's been a rough transition period that is still going on. Like I said, there are a multitude of reasons for this, and it starts with the individual.
Yep, online friendships are awesome and kinda more true as opposed to online relationships. Also, they almost always work out in RL. I met some dude from another forum in RL in August when I was in America...pretty cool experience....
You go back...jack... do it again Then you find your only friend In a room with your two timer And you're sure you're near the end Then you love a little wild one
I just read that post...what a douchebag that dude was. I mean, to call after ten years and then go into hiding...man, I think I should start thinking the worst case scenarios for now on....it's kinda closer to reality...
This is interesting, we don't even know the whole story here...nobody is perfect...He did contact her, that is a first step with action...what is he supposed to do?
