Re: X Marks the Spot
It's all symbolic. It has as much power as the observer allows. Of course knowing that knowing not everyone around you knows that, is uncomfortable. For sure.

Being tricky for jesus always seemed a dubious method to salvation at best to me.

Yes cathedrals are extremely visually stimulating. Catholics basically practice Christian magic.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57728098


Practice de magicks? What speakest thou?

Haha.


It was visually stunning. The stain glass window behind them reflected in the pool 'a bird' which was difficult to distinguish in the glass otherwise.

Once seen in the pool it was easier to pick out, but not quite.
 Quoting: Seer777


"magic". Necessary dogma. Anecdotal reality. Whatever.

One of the most interesting persons i ever talked to was an atheistic priest. One of those beautiful contradictions that makes everyone else's path seem like a simple and silly thing.

Was the outside architecture nice as well? That is usually my favorite part of cathedrals.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57728098


This priest was clearly Indian. Dots not feathers...which I found interesting.

Outside architecture was not impressive. Inside the door the first thing one is greeted by, was their 're-shingle drive'. They needed $200,000. And had reached the $40,000 mark.

I noted the outside was brick.

Just noticed…. one of quetiapine's indications is 'Musical Hallucinations'

[link to en.wikipedia.org]


Musical hallucinations fall under the category of auditory hallucinations and describe a disorder in which a sound is perceived as instrumental music, sounds, or songs. It is a very rare disorder, reporting only 0.16% in a cohort study of 3,678 individuals.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20063747


most musicians hear music in their dreams, the only difference being the drug induces during a waking state.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26578528


It seemed a strange designation to me as well. I'd quite frankly welcome a state like that.

hmm Must be…. just heavenly, really.

put some marijuana in your brownies, then tell me it wasn't the marijuana that made you high but the brownie batter. the marijuana wasn't the catalyst! lol

No, it wasn't the marijuana.

But plants are an earlier version of our neurological system.

We acquired it.

Go back a few pages and read the article. It's even more interesting.

All the neurological precursors are looking right back at you.

But, like we, are not catalysts ;)

I have to say though...watching a young child and baby being marked repeatedly on the forehead with a '+' and 'Holy water' did not sit well with me.

Neither what was 'agreed to' so easily without thinking and consideration...by they in direct attendance to the ritual.


Promises made without intention to keep them, is blasphemy. To my sense.

Wonder if it connects to the blue hole in the Yucatan.

Underwater Cave Full of Ancient Bones to Be Mapped in 3D


The bones of ground sloths, saber-toothed cats and other creatures of the Ice Age have been discovered in a deep underwater cavern on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, but the exploration of the site is actually happening on the surface, hundreds of miles away, in a lab in San Diego.

So far, explorers in this cave have discovered a human skeleton from the Ice Age, and remains of gomphotheres (ancient elephant-like animals), prehistoric ground sloths and saber-toothed cats. Archaeologists think Hoyo Negro holds more remains and could provide valuable insight into Native American history; they just need a way to get their hands on the bones.

Hoyo Negro — which, appropriately, means "Black Hole" — is part of the underwater labyrinth known as the Sac Actun cave system. The cave is more than 100 feet (30 meters) deep, and divers get only an hour of bottom time on each dive, further complicating the exploration of the site.

Interesting link off that link

The ancient skeleton of a teenage girl found in an underwater cave in Mexico may be the missing link that solves the long-standing mystery behind the identity of the first Americans, researchers say.

These findings, the first time researchers have been able to connect an early American skeleton with modern Native American DNA, suggest the earliest Americans are indeed close relatives of modern Native Americans, scientists added.

Naia reveals that despite any differences in the face and skull between the earliest Americans and modern Native Americans, they were, in fact, significantly related, probably deriving from the same gene pool.

"Naia is a missing link filling in a gap of knowledge we had about the earliest Americans and modern Native Americans,
