Another favorite:

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
Feeds wisdom
To its youth

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? _______

That's rich coming from someone who believes the Bible is literal truth. :? Well, we're going to see about that. 🙂 Ah yes, the ever-so-cordial IC privately laments the fact that he wasn't born in a time when he could employ the necessary means of persuasion... https://c8.alamy.com/comp/BXDA3J/a-pro...

To say that supernatural realness isn't real, seems absurd? On the contrary. It appears to me that you think like someone who hasn't come into contact with religion and spirituality for the first few decades of his life, and now that you did, it's mesmerizing you. Spirituality is good, but it can't...

Take a moment and watch this video. If you are pro-Trump, anti-Trump or just dont give a shit Trump. Please explain to me how Trump is the nominated candidate for the Republican Party. For me moment leave the whataboutery concerning Biden out of the equation for the moment. Go through the pain of l...

...a really stupid expression which means nothing Could you — as an exercise I mean — deliberately not-do you?[/b] Think about it! You’d be you technically but offering an interesting performance with surprising and lively twists. Or perhaps bust out into song. Can you hold a tune?! Absolutely! I c...

What Physicists Have Been Missing An exciting new theory reconciles gravity and quantum physics. I think it’s wrong. But I may be too. BY SABINE HOSSENFELDER February 2, 2024 ------- But today, the foundations of physics are a sleepy place. We’re still chewing on the same problems that we had a cen...

I'm not suggesting that it will lead to world peace, but it certainly couldn't hurt if every nation in the world, besides teaching its children its designated native tongue, would also include in its curriculum a mutually agreed upon world language so as to put an end to this "tower of babel&qu...

A "historico-cultural rehearsal " for what? What the heck is that supposed to mean? My way of seeing is Jungian. Trump represents a wide, wounded class of Americans. He represents their woundedness, their many lacks (intellectual, spiritual, in comprehension). You need to get it into your...

Whose seeing brings the better clarification? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52751627845_ff0d42ca22_k.jpg Well, my Trump Derangement Syndrome causes me to imagine that the central character in AJ's picture,...

I was taught many different perspectives on philosophy. One perspective was that a person cannot simply debate ideas without placing ourselves personally and physically into the debate. Thus when/if someone argues that murder is not immoral, we place ourselves into jeopardy through our statements i...
