Re: The Illusion of Illusionism
If? Sure, when you start there almost anything is possible. If not though?... ... I'm most interested, however, not in what others here [including myself] believe about this, but what they are able to demonstrate that all rational men and women are [philosophically or otherwise] obligated to believ...

Re: The Illusion of Illusionism
Of late, I have been experiencing mind games that truly baffle me. I use THC gummies to help me fall asleep. About an hour or so after taking them, while lying in bed, the drug takes effect. Then for an hour or so I get these "images" in my head. Sort of half way between sober and stoned....

_______
This powerful song is called "Energize Me" by the group "After Forever"...
https://youtu.be/nXjBEfFOSVI
The fantastic singer's name is "Floor Jansen."
I have often wished she could be the singer for the prog-rock band - Dream Theater.

Re: Favourite movie scenes
_______ Perhaps I'm a bit of a prude, but this outtake from the movie "Being There"... https://youtu.be/vsQ_ClWBeRI?t=16 ...is funny to me because it makes me think that Chauncey Gardner (Peter Sellers) is referencing the same sort of mentality as those on this very site who are constantly...

Re: Christian Civilization -- The Central Issue
You speak as if the need for a spiritually-based mode of providing comfort or solace, say, for instance, in the case of the death of a loved one, is some antiquated human failing that has no place in modernity. Why is that? You can speculate all you want. Rejecting a comforting absurdity cannot be ...

Re: Slow Connection or Slow Server?
This site is completely screwed up. If I try to submit a post, it tells me to log in and when I do, the post is gone. Editing a post, I have to submit twice. Rick and Bora are trying to come up with a solution to the slowdown that, apparently, a huge number of bots were causing by accessing the for...

Men seek in the metaphysical an explaining for the physical. Once, the sun was a mysterious object in the sky. Men mystified it, converted it to a supernatural deity..... They attempted to make sense of what was, to them, incomprehensible. Yet when the greatest of human minds dive deeply into the p...

_______ One of my all-time favorite verses is this: If I've built this fortress around your heart Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire Then let me build a bridge For I cannot fill the chasm Let me set the battlements on fire From the song: Fortress Around Your Heart by Sting What's yours? _______
