...polyamory and 'Femdom' comes naturally after post-great war victories. When Empires defeat their main rivalry (America and USSR beat Europe in the 1940s), then a period of 'Liberalism' occurs: sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, non-stop parties (1960-1999). Woodstock are examples of these Celebrations and...

There is an aspect to reality that must inspire the great religious traditions. That I accept. I don't know what it is or much more than there is uncertainty and movement in the mind and the universe. Well, if me and good ol' G. Berkeley are correct in asserting that the universe is the mind of a h...

This is the spewng of a dull and evil mind. 12000 women and children are just snakes He's not evil. Just profoundly misguided. And showing him to the correct course doesn't sway him because he's afraid that if he let's go of the Bible, he'll go to hell. It's the ultimate conundrum of followers of t...

That is true that we discover the truth but the truth is objective and it is human independent. Okay, in regard to the laws of nature, mathematics, the empirical world around us, etc., it certainly appears that there are objective truths that transcend the "human condition" itself. But, i...

_______ (Continued from prior post) ...the mind is a substance with the ability to experience and cause while the person is physical. It is quite obvious that you and I have a completely different interpretation of what the word "mind" means. My interpretation is that the living, self-awar...

You are mixing the mind with persons,... I'm not mixing anything with anything, you're the one who repeatedly stated that there are "many minds" while at the same time insisting that there is only "one mind." I explained in my former post that I used to believe that there are ma...

You stated the following... "...There is only one mind, the mind, which is omnipresent in spacetime..." However, seeing how I obviously have no life and nothing better to do at the moment, I have taken the time to compile a random sampling of your previous statements on that issue [bracke...

_______ (Continued from prior post) Yes, infinite life is problematic if there is no meaning to it. Well, according to you, it would seem that just "knowing" the meaning of life will be enough to keep us happy and satisfied for eternity. However, to me, we must have something logical to do...

_______ (Continued from prior post) I don't know how I could become omnipresent. I wish I knew. :mrgreen: But to me that is the ultimate goal since you become unified with all other beings. First of all, what makes you say that we become "unified with all other beings"? You can experience ...
