I figure most "atheists" and materialists who converted from theism really HAVEN'T converted, they are just pouting because they don't want to behave themselves.

They are liars.

magnetic fields are proof that morphic fields exist. Prove me wrong.

I am just wondering. Sometimes it seems we are all just running around in circles/

Have you ever seen/heard/felt your god?

If no, why do you still believe without personal experience?

In other words, I don't understand "faith".

What does it mean when you dream about animals, especially if YOU are the animal?

Are they animal guides?

I dreamed i was a reindeer, and ive had dreams of bears and boars (which i take to have something to do with the polar stars and the precession of the equinxes). The deer i am unsure of though.

fragmented sleep, insomnia, tingling/numbness in toes, fingers, tongue; painful feet, hungry all the time, general shitty feeling all the time

I am going to see my gp next week, but wanted to get some ideas of what may be wrong with me

screw you

I am spiritually dead and it is my own fault

I want to learn hebrew and biblical hebrew so i can read the torah in it's original language. where is the best place to start? I got a couple of children's books and flashcards, and im also starting with some free learning guides online. so far i am utterly confused, i have never learned another language before. so far ive learned some of the letters, a few words and short sentences. i really can't afford too much at the moment, so i cant do a study course or anything like that. i need free or cheap options.

The third millenium priesthood of the materialist world. 

They are called "scientists".

Discuss.

"You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Who, then, is supposed to take care of my needs?

If we all choose to do this , we are all "the poor". Who will take care of the poor then?

It is because atheists like to pretend they are more intelligent than theists, when in reality, they are simply insecure,and know they are not. 

So PISS OFF and get therapy for your insecurity, you all need it.

The Bicameral Mind, or Split Brain

When the corpus collosum is split surgically in epileptics, there becomes "two minds", with the right and left hemispheres acting and thinking separately. In normal people, the right and left hemispheres must act in an integrated, or at least semi-integrated manner, with the right hemisphere in charge of planning and organization,and the left in charge of speech and analyzing. 

There are studies that show that we make some decisions before we consciously think about them. Is this the right hemisphere making these decisions, before the left(which we think of as "I" has a chance to analyze and come to a decision? Is the right hemisphere the "subconscious"? Does this subconscious have it's own sense of "I"? Does everyone really consist of two minds in one, that are so integrated, you can't tell the difference?

The Third Chakra and the Third Stage of Alchemy

I consider the seven chakras and the seven stages of alchemy to correspond. I think it is all the same thing, described in different ways. The third, or solar plexus chakra, deals with personal willpower, or choice. The third stage of alchemy deals with the separation of solar and lunar sides of the mind. I think this is the separation of the right and left hemispheres, or the two minds described above. (which is of course a psychic phenomena, and not a biological one). At this stage of alchemy, you "separate the wheat from the chaff", discarding the crap in your mind, bad behaviors, deciding what is morally good,and choosing to keep what is the good over the bad. Reintegration occurs at the fourth stage, conjunction. If you choose the crap at this stage, you do not reach conjunction, and do not evolve spiritually. 

Lately ive had three experiences which felt like grace from God. Two times i felt a sense of peace, and once was a powerful energy experience after i asked God a question. I'm not sure what to make of these experiences. Not sure how to proceed. Whether I should take up some type of meditation to get closer to God. I am somewhat reluctant to pray, as i don't want to annoy God. Even as I write this, i have a bit of the energy feeling. I want to get closer to God and understand what is going on, but I don't know how to proceed. I feel like I need to do something, but I am reluctant to meditate or pray. i was shocked when i had the energy experience after asking the question.

i have had experience of God in the past, but that was after severe sleep deprivation,and once was during a meditation experience, with an altered state of consciousness. Never during normal consciousness. I am having no symptoms of psychosis. i am on meds. i did ask God a couple of further questions, and got no response. That is why i am reluctant to go that route as well. maybe i should just wait asnd see what happens. I don't know.

I am tired of the same old boring stuff.

Self-realization? What does that mean?

Enlightenment? What does that mean?

I am trying to quit smoking again today

wish me luck

What does it mean to "surrender" to God, or God's will?

Your conscience is proof

to debate me on my first debate, The Solar System is designed

In her book, st teresa describes the seven levels of the soul, and how to reach God through prayer and meditation. What she is describing are the seven chakras. 

Tonight at 12:19 the Earth will be the closest to the sun.

How do we know what it is that God wants?

There have been thousands of different religions throughout human history. Everyone thinks they are right. How likely is it that EVERYONE has the truth? About zero.

That some one has stumbled on the truth, or that God has given someone the Truth, is possible but I doubt it has happened. 

That we are all stumbling around in the dark trying to figure things out is more likely the case.

My idea is nearly the same. Except that the "void" is space, and the random fluctuations of information are quantum fluctuations. If you add in Panpsychism, everything falls together. There is no "first" consciousness, there is always consciousness in the universe. If every particle already has consciousness, just a tiny spark of awareness, then awareness is popping in and out of existence all the time. Patterns occasionally form out of randomness. This is a slightly higher awareness for a brief time. Even more rarely, you get the occasional pattern that forms a sustained (not indefinitely) pattern, a cellular automaton. Usually these automata peter out after a while, as in the Game of Life.
If this actually happens in the quantum world, and I don't see why it couldn't, then the consciousness of these automata would be a little more aware. The entire automata may have it's own separate consciousness from each individual part, as each human has a separate consciousness than each individual cell in the body. This idea is called "holons", coined by Arthur Koestler.
The automaton, like all consciousness, has a sense of survival. It may then figure out how to keep it's pattern going. Eventually, it may learn other things, such as how to evolve in order to stay "alive". It may begin to learn how to manipulate other automata or particles, perhaps incorporating them into it's own patterns. It may learn how to create new patterns. It builds the first simple atom, them molecules, eventually there are clouds of dust, and finally, suns.
Then eventually, we get the universe we see today. We are all nodes in this larger consciousness, as is each particle, molecule, animal, sun, galaxy.
But there is still the overarching consciousness, that incorporates all into itself. I call it God.
If this is true, and I don't know if it is, then we really are all connected. It perfectly explains entanglement and nonlocality. There is a consciousness that connects everything.
The first automata must have had only base instincts. Perhaps only the survival instinct. I can't imagine it having higher emotions such as love or guilt. These must have evolved much later. I can see it may have felt an instinctual fear of it's demise. at first. Then as it evolved and progressed, higher emotions evolved,and that's why we have them today. As an overarching consciousness, it may experience even higher emotions we can't even imagine.
It must also be at a much higher level of consciousness than a human being. With everything in the universe connected, there must be many, many more connections than in the neural networks in our brain. The whole universe is like a giant brain. Although consciousness doesn't require a brain, higher intelligence might
I can't imagine being conscious for billions of years. What it must have gone through! Did it create us, other intelligent beings, to have someone to talk to? That seems a bit silly, but I wonder.

I can't.

How do you know Jesus is real?

I kind of missed christmas as I was on a train home from visitting my parents. 

My dad was hospitalized due to acute respitory failure, and now probably has lung cancer but we are not sure yet. 

He is home now on permenant oxegen. doing a bit better, enough to come home. we were able to get all of the family together for christmas eve. 

I am not a christian but I have always loved christmas a s time together with my family. 

Tell them you love them, hug them, keep in touch. Because you never know if it's the last time.

and full moon today

I have started my meditation practice again. It has been a few years. I am hoping to get to a state of consciousness where I can reach God. 

How do you determine what is real?

Describe it.

What are you doing to celebrate today?

What is the best movie you have seen with the theme of spiritual growth?

For my bad behavior over the last few days.

I misinterpreted what you said,and subsequently said some things I shouldn't have. I should have talked to you about it first.

You are a great person, who has always been nice and helpful to me. You didn't deserve my bad behavior and my rude remarks. 

I am not asking for forgiveness, because I don't deserve it. 

I just wanted to apologize to you and to say that I am truly sorry for being an ass. 

I am sorry. 

For [Jehovah] is the great God, and the great King above all gods (Ps. 95:3).

I know [Jehovah] is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods. (Ps. 135:5)

There are some passages in the Bible that seem to be admitting to there being other Gods.

I think that souls are molded and organized by something akin to morphic fields.

You can also call them archetypes, that are then individuized when the life spark(prana) is added to the morphic field. Not all morphic fields have the life spark, such as the morphic fields for individual atoms or molecules. 

Morphic fields can exist within other fields, such as an individual ant's field exists within it's community's field. This is also called "holons". Things can exist as a part of the whole, and yet be individuals at the same time. 

God is the morphic field which contains all other fields within itself.

All the atheists I know personally don't care a bit about religion. But ddo/dart atheists seem to be obsessed with it. Why?

Are our bodies and brains a limiting device to filter out aspects of awareness? 

Did God do this to give us the experience of not knowing everything?

"In just a few decades the 5-inch-long (13-centimeter-long) lizards have developed a completely new gut structure, larger heads, and a harder bite, researchers say."

Isn't evolution supposed to be slow? 

Does God have human like emotions? Can God get angry or jealous, etc? 

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life, freely 21:6

is it a coincidence that an age is 2160 years?

of human consciousness?

how will consciousness evolve?

that God is real?

Is it for spiritual growth?

what is the origin of consciousness?

Is it subjective or objective? 

Is God our moral authority?
