    The UK surveillance state. Why?

    I apologize; that really was just humour, from Monty Python ...

    The UK surveillance state. Why?

    Forgive an injection of humour, but - "I thought we were an autonomous collective" :)

    The UK surveillance state. Why?

    I'm quite naive, and I feel it's quite a benign thing. I would say that the government is interested in keeping the masses calm, and that even the most hardened objector is glad of surveillance, after he has been stabbed and relieved of his wallet. And, I think the government is 100% correct in...

    Are you an old soul, or a new one?

    I really don't believe in this notion, and yet, if asked this question, I can honestly reply "New". Very new; I really WAS born yesterday. For whatever reason, I experience almost every moment as a total revelation (if I let that be). I'm quite intelligent, but not at all wise - I'm so very...

    Do you fear for this world?

    Coupla thoughts that are releveant ... - I recently heard an anthropologist say that every generation believes it is living in extraordinary times. And he meant every generation. - Didn't the Jehovah's Witnesses necessarily revise their own "end of times date" at least twice, I think?

    Do you fear for this world?

    Replying to various: - I agree with the comments about "declining morals". But I also think that when enough people feel this way, it gives them more license to "sin", "since everyone's doing it". I reckon such a thing could have real momentum, and be a catalyst for ... something. - Actually...

    Do you fear for this world?

    I'm winging it here; wasn't sure where to put it; not sure if it's a debate as such ... I ask this question, because it's my observation that most of my acquaintances seem to have had a realization on the subject in just the last few years. For the sake of argument, consider these acquaintances...

    Back after long time away, saying hello

    lol - I have indulged in poutine a few times, and each time I remember thinking "What am I doing to myself?".

    Back after long time away, saying hello

    Well thanks ... that's kind of wild - I'm a musician, and when as a teen I first heard Vangelis' Heaven and Hell record, it opened my mind quite a bit. But I guess you knew that :p

    Back after long time away, saying hello

    >> Firstly, it's just so nice to get these welcome messages- thanks. Yeah, Buddhism. It goes roughly like this ... I had for years been a "seeker", but mostly not in a spiritual way. I had a science education background, and it was science that was going to have all the answers. And of course...

    Hello. Haven't been here in years - any chance of getting a thread restored from approx 2012/13? My title was : "A Theory Of Everything", in the non-theist/non-religious section. I assume it was removed as old. I don't need the thread restored to the forum (though that's okay); I just need the...

    Back after long time away, saying hello

    Oops, the business card is out of date; please ignore. What was a cheap domain name will now cost me about 10 times as much, since I established the interest, then let it lapse. :(

    Back after long time away, saying hello

    Hello All, Haven't been here in maybe 5 years. Main reason - lack of Internet access. We have among the world's highest charges for the Net here in Canada, and free public access is rare, or painfully slow (McDonald's, anyone?). I'm happy to say that what was previously just aimless seeking is...

    Difficulties with mindfulness/experiencing reality

    One thing I'd like to mention, in case it helps ... Years ago, as a novice, I found that meditation was one of those "simple but not easy" things - simple to learn but hard to master. However, I also did not actually find it hard to master. This I cannot explain; it's just how it was. I...

    How to Eliminate Evil

    I don't see why not. Picard's story seems to generally reflect a history of varied disciplines to arrive at starship captain. -M

    A theory of everything

    I can only agree, and once again hang my head as we arrive at the unknowable. Then again, I could disagree, and hold my head high as we leave the knowable.

    A theory of everything

    Let's please begin exploring this - it's "the approach" that's on my mind a lot these days. Who might listen to and understand this theory? Is there actually anything new or different about the theory? Any ideas? Martin

    A theory of everything

    You've hit (my?) nail on the head. I'm quite convinced that there is some worth in all this, but if I can't express it properly, or if people aren't accepting, what use is it?

    A theory of everything

    It's a privilege talking to such thoughtful people here.
