    Atheists: If God existed…

    I pretty much agree with you both. I think in order to hurt others, people have to turn off a piece of their consciousness, but I think that is returned or reunited to them after the death of the physical body... and then they hurt and feel the guilt and shame and the "OMG what did I do?" and...

    Atheists: If God existed…

    If God was consciousness that operated in quantum space, how would it do that? I believe in God, I just don't think of God as the all powerful Daddy spirit figure that everyone else wants it to be. I think God is limited by the same physical rules of the Universe as everything else is. I...

    Does the Existence of Mathematics Depend on the Existence of the Universe?

    From the article at The Physics arXiv Blog. "...thanks to the work of Dongshan He and buddies at the Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics in China. These guys have come up with the first rigorous proof that the Big Bang could indeed have occurred spontaneously because of quantum...

    Does the Existence of Mathematics Depend on the Existence of the Universe?

    As I recall the big bang theory, the universe got its start from a quantum fluctuation. If that is true there was a quantum particle that was winking in and out of existence, and as long as you have something able to take two states, then you have mathematics. So no, mathematics is independent...

    The Genesis Wheel

    Some early reviews from Goodreads have been coming in, that I'd like to share: "The Genesis Wheel is a book for anyone with even a slight interest in Gematria (ancient alphabets that are also used as number systems and whose encoding into texts are used both esoterically and to provide...

    whats your beef with brexit?

    If Borris Johnson intends to have a no deal Brexit then he might as well, on that historic day declare civil war in Northern Ireland. A hard border with Ireland would mean cameras at the border which would be shot at by dissonant republicans, and they would have to be replaced by police who...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    I'll have a think and see if I've read anything about that. I'm rusty in this area. I think of the rising of the kundalini as a synchronous cascade of microtubules to superposition, but that would be a full body type of thing (there are microtubules in every major organ too).

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    When I first came across the theory, it seemed to tie religion, or at least many of my experiences as a mystic, and science together. I think as the theory advances and more evidence is accrued there may one day be a convergence of the two.

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    As far as I understand the Orch OR theory of consciousness, it starts at the pre-material (quantum) level of the universe. There is a baseline of pure energy and consciousness is a waveform that arises from that to collapse at the microtubules of the brain. These microtubules are capable of...

    How Do Disagreements Affect You?

    Are there any other INTJ women here? I just wanted to check something. I sometimes feel that my logical, rational and masculine style of expression can be like a red rag to a bull when it comes to some guys. It's like they can't figure me out and they try to push me into making a...

    How Do Disagreements Affect You?

    It's frustrating when someone argues with obvious logical fallacies and compounds it by interspersing that with ad hominems*. At its best, the dialectic process can produce some good discussions, but I think to get the best out of it you have to try and respect your opponent and listen...

    The Genesis Wheel

    I was checking my email this morning and a copy of eskeptic was there with a wonderful podcast by McIntyre and Shermer about the strengths and weaknesses of Karl Popper’s “falsification” criteria for the line of demarcation. It may come as a shock to some people but I was an atheist for many...

    Is premarital sex moral or immoral?

    Unless she's trying to rule the world she's safe. The devil is an old fashioned entity primarily there to test mystics by tempting them with power, riches celebrity yadayadayada. I met him once and I laughed at him. He won't be interested in her. Right at this moment it isn't the devil that...

    The Genesis Wheel

    No, it's available in paperbook too. My screenplay is about the United Kingdom counter-culture experimentation of the late 80's. It's set in Newcastle upon Tyne, and its about some Geordie friends who get busted by the police after one of the families doesn't pay their protection money... at...

    The Genesis Wheel

    Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier. I'm not planning an audio version as I think all the math would be difficult to listen to and there are a lot of very long math expressions in Genesis 1-2. Thank you for your best wishes. There are moments of excitement during research, and it is...

    The Genesis Wheel

    Its really great that respected and credible authors were already defying the generally prevailing dismissive attitude to the subject even before The Genesis Wheel. These treat gematria as the product of ancient scholarship rather than mysticism. Professor Victor Hurowitz points out...
