The Greatest Story Ever Told

He may have a huge wide screen with 1080p res. Thoes screens expand the forum text out much more than a regular PC screen, but still a wall of text loses the wanting readers eyes.

I stopped at the gender reassignment part because all I could see is a dark void with blurry text around it.

IMO synchronicity loses meaning in the face of the human desire to live outside the realm of the normal way of things.

A black hole is black, round and even explanations and definitions get chewed up and destroyed in its awesome force or anti force..
 
Dont know, but I have one in my house and as I get older, more and more stuff gets sucked into its vortex and disappears forever. Use to think that someone was coming into my house and stealing the stuff but then I discovered black holes and now I know. Sometimes I would spend hours looking for something that was in my hand no more than 10 minutes' ago to no avail. Just another item lost to the hole. One day I lost my keys. A year later the hole spit them back out, way way out, and I found them in the yard. Some days are just lucky. I'm starting to push old age and someday I'm gonna shove all my stuff (except my ebike and charger) into the hole and make my life a lot simpler. Some day soon maybe. m2c
 
There's a great Penn & Teller Bullsh!t episode on the subject:

You should watch it, it would be good for you.

Actually, I think you should watch the whole 7 seasons... as a therapy or something :)

One other thing.....I do this with my kids....when they call each other stupid. I tell them to take the id out of it. Put a new ending on it. And make it about us. So whenever I hear them say the word stupid, I tell them to say stupendous. Then everybody smiles and its all good. The bad that was before, with stupid, simply vanished all together! Try it for yourself sometime. You'll be amazed at how you feel!

Those three posts contain some of the most stupendous writing I've ever seen. Hmmm. No, I still don't feel so great because that really wasn't a compliment, and I don't much like insulting people. Just changing the word didn't change the meaning. Didn't work for me. Do you feel great now, electricridefl? Or... is it just bullshendous?

You remind me of someone I know. She's all bright and sunny too, and falls for every snake-oil salesman that crosses her path. The last time she tried to sell me some bullshendous that she bought from a snake-oil salesman, I was fed up and wrote her a letter.

There are really two different things people talk about when they use the word enlightenment. I'll tell you about one first, then at the end of the e-mail I'll tell you about the other one.

One of them is the raising of the kundalini, the opening of the third eye, all that stuff. What happens is that the nervous system can get kind of unbalanced and overcharged and it really does tune in to God, the Universe or whatever you want to call it. It's very exciting. Some churches call it a visitation from God, being filled with the light, being born again, etc. But we are not wired to stay supercharged like that for long, our poor nerves can't take the juice, it's kind of like being on speed. You're more creative, but you can't rest properly, and you can get destructively egocentric or even schizophrenic. At best, in this condition our imagination is supercharged, but it's just imagination. It's a good feeling, but it's no more real than an LSD trip. If you think you're seeing the future or aliens, you're simply believing in your own fantasies (which can be very easy to do). It could probably be useful in the arts or in politics, being extraordinarily creative, influencing, inspiring, or motivating people, etc. but otherwise it doesn't really have any practical applications. The nervous system effect is real -- and I think other people feel it as love or charisma, but it's not going to give you the ability to teleport or see the future. It is possible for people to get addicted to this effect, and many people suffer major depression after each "awakening," because it's an unbalanced state. You can't stay there. Someday they might design a drug that duplicates this effect pretty closely, and it will probably ruin a lot of people. Who knows, maybe they already have.

I've listened to all kinds of gurus. There were good ones and bad ones. The best of them were good people genuinely trying to help unhappy people find a way to live happily. Others simply didn't want to have to hold down a real job, and being adored by their followers was a side bonus. The really bad ones were abusive control freaks. David Wilcock is one of the second group. He probably accepts donations to his personal charity, the "keep David from having to get a real job fund," and sells CDs and videos on his web site.

I know the Mayans considered the end of the calendar a time for celebration, and that it was a bigger celebration than our own yearly turn of the calendar, but Mayan scholars say there is no evidence that the Mayans predicted an apocalypse at the end of their calendar. That idea was made popular by a guy named José Argüelles. This is from wikipedia:

"Although Argüelles states that his tools and calendar are clearly not a Mayan calendar, much criticism of it focuses on the fact that his works remain completely unsupported by any professional Mayanist scholar. Amongst many criticisms leveled at it, it is pointed out that the interpretation merely co-opts an ancient tradition by recasting it in New Age terms, unknown, unused and undocumented among the Maya. Many of Dreamspell's influences come from non-Mayan sources, such as the I Ching and pop psychology. What's more, Argüelles' calendar is based on a different day-count than the traditional Mayan calendar."

Also, his math wasn't very good, it seemed to me like the only reason they picked December 21 2012 was because it made a pretty pattern when you represent it in terms of the Gregorian calendar: 12-21-12

... (more inapplicable stuff cut out) ...

Lots of people have blind faith that Obama is a muslim terrorist. Lots of people have blind faith that there is a coalition of evil gays who are trying to impose a gay agenda on America (whatever that means). Lots of people have blind faith that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 attack. Why do they believe those things? They have no evidence. It's simply what their favorite authority figures told them, and they just accepted these things without thinking. Blind faith is usually bad.

There are very few things that justify blind faith, but there are a few. Even when you have no evidence at all, that's when it's most important to have faith in love, truth, justice, and honor. That's where the beauty and magic is -- the real enlightenment. For everything else, keep an open mind. Don't get too excited about things that seem "too good to be true," (like the 2012 thing or 100% water-powered cars) and don't get too fearful of things that seem apocalyptically terrible. Reality will almost always be somewhere in the middle, and evidence supporting that is usually not too hard to find. Just because you want to believe shouldn't be enough. Please, ask for just a little evidence before you jump onto the next guru's wagon, OK?

Yes you can! Because there is no statute of limitations on taxes owed to the government. Then, handily, everyone is audited at least one time....when they die.
