Dear Bob, for the sole purpose of trying to keep this thread alive, I'm wondering if you have a sure-fire method of removing a family of nasty, insulation-ripping, framework-chewing, wire-stripping, squirrels from an attic?
Mitternacht is the best track on the album. Even without knowing the translation it comes across as delightfully frightening... more in the sense of drawing you in than scaring you off. As I feel it, anyway.
Not only do we try to take the lead in conversations, but so often we interrupt each other, minds already racing toward the next point we want to make.
No kidding! Endless material once you go down the rabbit hole.
Quote from Fred Alan Wolf:
"Well, let me quote from Newton about this, even though we're talking quantum physics. Literally, I feel like a child at a seashore, when it comes to seeing where quantum physics is pointing. I feel like we're on the verge of a gigantic discovery -- maybe the nature of God, maybe the nature of the human spirit. Something of that sort is going to emerge from this, because our normal notions -- in fact the notions upon which we think science makes any sense at all, the notions of space and time and matter -- they just are breaking down, they're just falling apart, like tissue paper before our eyes."
"Everything happens for a reason" is so overused. Too pat an answer. What does Christianity have to do with it? A vengeful God? Explain.
I can also say everything happens for a reason but my perspective is decidedly non-Christian. We are energy, light, intelligence and pure consciousness, manifesting as our physical selves. There is no God condemning us. We are all God. Everything happens because we create our own reality. Take ownership... wake up.
Yeah, some of you will want to measure me up for a straitjacket. I'll take a medium, and pink would be really sweet for a change.
My dear, you are making sense. If you want a book list, email me. So glad you're on the thread and will look forward to checking in again later. Peace, love & joy.
More questions than answers... indeed. Once you open the door it seems you just can't close it and go back to the self you were satisfied with, the happy little sheep in the fold.
So bringing it back to the original query then: having taken on these habits, having become complacent in attitude and half-hearted in practice, is it possible for us to resacralize our world, our reality, and see the Truth? Substitute God, goddess, Higher Power, higher self, Holy Trinity for 'Truth' ... the name matters not.
It's always subjective. Can't help but be so. We are socialized to conform, to join up, to belong, to be labelled and thus feel accepted and gain a feeling of security. Most never reach a stage where they step back and take a clear and objective look at what they've been buying into. Why rock the boat? Just bend the rules here and there, nobody is the wiser, still call oneself Christian or whatever, live a half decent life and hope for eternal salvation when the day of reckoning comes.
Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny. - Gandhi
As if anyone contradicting you would stop you in your tracks!
I take exception to your statement purely on semantics. I choose the definition that science is a discipline involving the development and evaluation of natural explanations for observable phenomena. "Science" does not have "ability". Scientists, however, do. As do all of us.
If science has become able to manipulate mass(simple objects) with air, and recently with sound (via how it moves air) is telepathy merely a form of manipulating air as opposed to 'dealing' with the object itself. Would one have to move air or the object? Are they exclusive? Chaos and the butterfly.
Whoa. "Science has become able"?
I think not. The ability has always been there. Scientists are now aware of it.
Moving objects by moving the air or sound around them is a start... transporting an object or oneself, if you buy into Quantum Mechanics, is also possible.
The average person thinks about 60,000 thoughts a day. 95% of them are the same thoughts as yesterday.
Think outside your daily patterns. Post one. Simple, complex, whatever you choose.
For my part, looking at the maelstrom of snowflakes outside my window, I think no one can prove that no two snowflakes are alike. It's not possible to catch, measure and log each one to compare.
