Quoting: B 17493445 After watching that, what was left of my religious beliefs went out the window. I almost wish i never saw it. I miss being blissfully ignorant. Then i started coming on this website....ugh...what was i thinking??!! Lol. All this site does is give me anxiety. But ive learned a lot. I saw a clip from that where Bill Maher was attacking the leader of the Natorei Karta sect of Orthodox Judaism for being opposed to Zionism. If anyone is locked into an insane belief system, it is Bill Maher. What an arrogant shill. Anyway, the book that changed my life was Worlds in collision by Immanuel Velikovsky. I was 11 years old when I read it. It made me see the Bible as an important historical document. Till then, I hadn't paid it much attention. the mystery behind the bible is ...Asking the Holy Spirit to guild you in the name of Jesus, then even if you have the faith of a mustard seed ...it will grow. your faith and understanding. the word is like a onion it has layers of thought. it was made a metaphor on purpose. its really the word became flesh. the lord can speak to each of us thru it. now what |

An epic book Film: Suspect Zero. A film that lead me to learn about remote viewing, and after learning the skill, once I was able to remote view accurately it exploded my paradigms of what was possible! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 10823255 08/11/2012 10:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, by Julian Jaynes. This goes into how the bicameral mind (two sides) eventually evolved into allowing us to experience consciousness in the way that we are able to mull things over in our mind instead of simply getting impulses. The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds and The Laws of Physics, by Roger Penrose. This book was mostly about artificial intelligence but also delved into quantum physics such as the two-slit experiment and other quantum oddities. One thing I remember Penrose writing was that a particle was not only identical to the same type of particle everywhere in the universe, but it WAS the same particle. In other words, a photon in one light ray not only had to be identical to a photon in another light ray but it had to be the same particle. This lead me to believe that the universe was an elaborate computer program with the same particle being present in multiple places at once. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 10823255 08/11/2012 10:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oscar Wilde's Soul of Man Under Socialism. Read it first at fifteen and keep going back to it. Quoting: Ilana There was also a Buddhist writer I read one time (a Tibeten Rinpoche) who explained how anger was an addiction the same way drugs or alcohol are. Now that you mention it I can see this to be true, at least in my own experience. The reason I say that is because over 25 years ago I noticed myself saying the same word whenever I got angry (that word was "bitch"). Later on the word changed to "damn" but I still noticed that it was the same word. The word I use to express anger has changed over the years but I have noticed that I use one word for years and years. This tells me that anger has become an addiction. Thank you for pointing that out and allowing me to discover that part of myself. |

Experience(s): (1) An (underage) country & western music keyboard player during the pipeline days in Alaska (1970s). It was like the wild west days of old. Forced into the music industry by father. Never did drugs or alcohol. Cathy O'Brien is right regarding the country music industry ("TranceFormation of America"). (2) An OBE during a trip down the Alcan (Alaska/Canadian Highway) in 1974 - car went down a mountain in Yukon Territory at -76 degrees below zero. An 'angel' talked to me and showed me the entire planet as if from space. If I had died, I would not have felt it as I was definitely out of my body during the descent of the car. There IS life before and after death. We're ALL here for the experience, good and bad, as explained to me by the 'angel', though we may not understand why wars and such happen. |
