ESP

quote
MM I always bow to local knowledge, but if you are saying that an aura coming from the disrupted body area of a patient is satnaved to the witchdoctors aura perceptive brain, thats less than likely. Natural healers have the rare ability to read the skin, the eyes. the tongue, and the body's language and predict or diagnose previously undetected internal problems. But that is all it is, a trained eye.


I am sure a trained eye helps
but if you are suggesting we cannot sense (empathize) somebody's unease (or disease)
without some form of physical distress signal
then you are summarily dismissing millions of extra-sensory testaments
by mystics, saints and who-ever over the ages
as delusions or outright lies
basically because we do not have the technology
that can prove otherwise

Who is to know if long-range high frequency emotional signals
are not possible?

I can testify to powerful surges of compassionate understanding
being transmitted into my body
by rays of sunlight

Self-delusion?
The need for reassurance?
Why would I choose such an ancient Egyptian/Mayan way to fool myself?
Why not simply conjure up a more current
loving image of Jesus Christ himself?
Or an alien abduction?
Who really knows what is happening?
How do you know if this life is not simply a dream?
What is consciousness anyway?
How did it originate?
Why did it?

Surely this is what both the physicist and the metaphysicist is searching for

One of the shamans I worked with claimed that he could feel the pain of patients
long before even seeing them
on one occasion he was hospitalized himself
three days before the actual patient arrived

A universe of atomic radiations surround us
at this moment in our evolution
we all have the freewill
to believe or not to believe
that every atom may or may not radiate consciousness
and we all may or may not be receiving an endless stream of signals
from its farthermost reaches
most of it yet to be decoded

I choose to believe
from personal experience
And even if am being delusional
that in itself is a super-natural phenomenon (or unnatural if you prefer)
that I am entitled to and should investigate
among others who are experiencing the same phenomenon
and you do not have the right
until you do so yourself
to be derogatory about our testimonies

In fact
until proved otherwise
you have the obligation to trust a neighbor's word
even though you yourself do not believe

So the question arises
since it is more than probable that a future spectrometer
might be invented that can measure frequencies
currently beyond mechanical detection
why not keep an open mind in the meantime?

Why skof?
What interference are metaphysician's esoteric investigations into ESP
doing to hinder science's own exoteric investigations
into the mysteries of atomic radiation?

Right at this moment my body
a mass of associated atomic particles
is emitting intense radiations out into the space around me
who is to say
how far
or through what medium
or what information is contained in my particular frequency
and who might or might not be sensitive enough
to tune into my vibration
and feel my pain?

What is the source of your skepticism?
Is that not your own form insecurity at work?

Internet Fascism - Banning Freedom of Thought

Over the past four years I have signed up a member on eight philosophical forums for the purpose of discussing novel ideas regarding the evolution of human behavior.

I did so in the hope of finding a receptive audience interested in the presentation of solutions to a host of social dysfunctions that have resulted from over-population and environmental over-load.

To me it has been obvious that a mass change of consciousness is required in order for all of us to adjust to a new global paradigm.

Instead of the open-minded interest in the radical nature of the mass change required that I have out-lined and the nature of the new consciousness required to meet the new demands of the 21st Century, I have been met with a universal storm of protest and rejection.

Continued argument by myself, painstakingly laying out the causes of our dysfunctional behavior, while expanding on the reasons for change, has resulted in out-right banning on four of the eight forums,

The doors there
to new thought
have been shut tight.
and threats of rejection remain on the others.

My conclusion:
People would rather the devil they know
than embrace the unknown.

New thought is not wanted
Banned without recourse
which is a new form of internet fascism

That bodes ill for our future.

Infant Rearing - HeartStart Homeschool Program

quote
What exactly do you teach in this infant education program you're propounding?

0- 3 years
Natural birthing
three years breast-feeding
until weaning
unbroken body-contact (never put the baby down and leave it alone)
three year sibling spacing (no spiteful sibling rivalry)
active yet peaceful home-life
infant tied to mom's body
constantly observant of all that is going on
plenty of cuddling tickling and fun

All that good stuff
coming from parents who are profoundly conscious
of how easily mental and emotional dysfunction can take place
and who see parenthood as the most vital occupation on the planet.

The HeartStart Homeschool program goes on from there....... :D

Consciousness & Technology

quote
:Consciousness is selecting improvements for it's own use - what do think?



Populations impacting exponentially on an over-stressed environments
force consciousness to invent new and improved technological survival tools
new technologies require new, more extended and more complex social contracts
more complex social relations
require new spiritual revelations
in this way
via natural evolutionary forces
consciousness has evolved from the naivete of the animist hunter/gatherer
though the agricultural shaman
industrial religious orthodoxy
and scientific protestant
towards higher states of self-awareness
until it ultimately reaches a transcendental state
of Cosmic Consciousness
where technology is no longer required
and mind conquers matter

Conscious Motivation

Quote
However, that said, one can also take the argument that it is consciousness, and the motives thereof, that drove the evolution of technology, rather than the other way around.

Personally, as always, I prefer the both/and, not the either/or.



Two things drive the evolution of consciousness
survival needs
and ethical application

It is for this reason the cortex is divided into two hemispheres
Sperry's experiments in split-brain dissection have proved
that we have two separate modes of perception
analytical and intuitive
Communication between these two spheres
determines both inspirational invention and ethical action

The human brain had to evolve to a large enough cubic capacity
able to transcend basic primate survival needs
in order to accomplish the more responsible (and potentially more damaging) uses
of advanced technologies

Development of both brains
was more or less equal during both the Stone and Bronze Ages
more in the Stone and less in the Bronze
increasing needs for oral-based communication artificially modified our behavior
and to some extent distorted natural ethical behavior

The invention of script with its spiritual emphasis
though a specific Iron Age survival need for national cohesion
and to ensure a conscientious attitude towards craftsmanship
also served to drastically alter our developmental dynamics
and further accelerated the distortion in ethical behavior

Science's dismissal of religious beliefs during the present Steel Age
has made further inroads into behavioral ethics

The dilemma we face right now
is that our mass education system in serious imbalance
it concentrates almost exclusively on analytical development
so we are left with adult abilities to analyze
and undeveloped childish abilities to moralize

This imbalance has to be corrected
our technologies are far too dangerous
to be handled by children

Our school curriculums on the advent of the Nuclear Age technologies
urgently need equal emphasis in left and right brain drills and exercises

The Four Stages of Life

For thousands of years
Chinese society based their collective ethic
on four distinct stages of life.

1. 0 - 21 years Student
2. 21 - 42 years State Steward
3. 42 - 63 years Parent/Mastership/Home estate
4. 63 - 84 years Retirement/Sage/Advisor

The motivation for living the good life
in each stage of the evolving consciousness,
is based on relative perceptions of Time

Infants live in the here and now
and then ambitiously begin to look ahead into the future
for the next 42 years
and remain concerned with what value society places on them

At menopause one arrives at self mastership,
accepts present circumstances
and concentrates on building a sound home and family.

At retirement the sage looks backwards into the past,
takes stock of life
and is more concerned with what he or she feels
towards the society that supported their life,
rather than what others think of him or her.

I am now three years into that final stage of life
and spend much of my retirement in past reflections

It is these summations of the past
that I share on these philosophical forums
with little concern for what you think of me
and much concern on my part
for the affect the past has on present circumstances
and its portents for the future

The Spiritual Imperative

quote
Philosophy is about what everyone can know/learn/experience about the world, religious experiences are strictly personal and have no place in general discourse.


Our world Holy Scriptures are a record of mankind's earliest philosophical discourses
The fact that they were all theologically orientated
should remain of extreme significance to all philosophers
and not be relegated into the bin of primitive superstition.

Millions of reciorded super-natural testaments made in every culture throughout recorded time
provide a vast body of circumstantial evidence
which informs us that subjective meta-normal experiences
shared with the rest of us by those millions of psychics
is an essential aspect of the human condition.

Science observes the finite
by its own admission
it can never crack the light barrier
which leaves us isolated forever
on a tiny planet on the extreme edge of one of trillions of galaxies

So eventually
without the benefit of our intuitive knowledge
that the spirit is infinite
and the continuous validation of that fact by some of us
science would inevitably lead us all into a state of collective boredom
and mass suicide
