yes,
There was once a popular book called, Life After Death, which was the 1st one 0n OBE.
And now, there should be a book which should be called, Is There Death After Life? - because this sums up the idea that Nobody Ever Dies, another title I saw once in a bookstore.

Hi to all,
In line with my thread 'God is looking out into the world thru our eyes' I believe, therefore, that life is infinitely worthy!

Please let me intrude here!
Have you people heard of Helen Keller, the 1st US lady to have a college degree?
She was amazing because she couldn't see nor hear? All higher level knowledge she acquired was through her fingers, touch turned into letters & words & sentences! It is hard for us...
Hi,
Just like what Kant said, we cannot prove, by logic, the existence of God. But we have a longing for Her and that's proof enough. We use our hearts when we love our parents, our spouses, our children, the rest of mankind, the world, and God !
We are not only rational beings, but we have...
Hi to all, specially to David, the god of this thread!
RELIGION IS definitely A BUNCH OF BULL! That is, according to my TS philosophy (Please refer to my other threads!) Since David, like the rest of us, is a prisoner of the total sum of his body & the human mindset he cannot think otherwise...
Hi to all,
I'd like to think that when say, John is stabbing Mark to death, God is looking through both sets of eyes!
I read that M. Teresa's 1st hospice, in Calcutta, was next to the temple of Kali. Now, the godess Kali has both a creative & destructive aspects.
We should not try to run away...
Hi to all!
You guys are wasting your time on peripheral issues!
Why don't you stop for a moment & ask how the following entities 'know' & 'acquire' 'facts' about the world or their environment:
1. a single-celled amoeba
2. An E.T. who's ahead of us in evolution for 5 billion years...
Lilithu,
Fantastic! I used to have the book, Mysticism by Happold - could your Avila quote be in that book?
I would not be surprised if I absorbed that subconsciously years before & last week triggered my CONS to post, Could God be looking out into the world through our eyes, thread!
But...
HI to all!
Actually I wanted to learn how the one-celled amoeba learned about the outside world, OW. But, have you guys seen a picture of the cell? It's incredibly complex, one needs to have a phd in biochemistry to have a deep understanding of just one single cell! And this, not to mention...
Dear Orich,
I'm happy for you 'cause you've found a new religion! You see, we homosapiens are also homoreligiosus- we can't escape having a religion. And for a simple reason: our brains are too big. It's not enough to eat, walk, have sex, have a career - the brain is too big for those simple...
Music changes water? I'll check it out!
Before we got industrialized & urbanized music was made by everybody, not like now, by professionals only & the masses just watch.
Everybody sung. All day & at night. For all occasions like birth, death, planting, harvesting, etc...In some traditions a...
Hi,
It's plainly wrong for the simple reason that children are sexually immature; for them sex is torture, no fun at all.
Recently, I read that Alfred Kinsey's data on child's sexuality were so skewed that if he did his 'research' today it would be laughed aside! He was very biased because...
Michel,
I think I'm beginning to understand! Humans, even the reductionists here in the forums don't like to be compared with the PC! My apology then, to both believers & reductionsts!
I am merely using the PC as THE example of how objects we see around us interacts with one another & more...
Hi to all!
I would define the self as that dynamic entity that continuously creates the ongoing NOW out of the electric pulses which are themselves generated within the brain! These neuronic pulses can be assumed to be triggered by the outside world, OW! (I would like everyone to consider...
Dear Anders,
Please read about my philosophy, in the thread, The PC Proves Kant Was Right About God. This philosophy is called TS, Theistic Solipsism.
You wrote, GOD IS CREATED BY HUMANS. Of course! Your total body/mind, THSN, is something you can't escape from. Like us, you have a human...
Hi to All!
Maybe God is looking around through our own eyes!!
This is the only conclusion I'm arriving at, once you accept:
1.) Each one of us creates reality only on the basis of our givens: our body & mind. Each of us cannot but exists solipsistically; From the point of view of each...
Era,
Good! I think you're getting it!
Also, please pay attention to Michel's post #18, where he wrote that our experience of 'yellow' within our separate consciousness' may not be the same. That's why I wish people would really learn how the PC(computer)
works because we can observe, from...
Hi,
That's one way at looking at AI, from behaviorism's point of view. I have no doubt that the time will come when we won't be able to distinguish between a robot & a human, from just observing behaviors.
But if we can look at the brains of the robot & a human at the same time, as we...
