The soul can mean many things some that do not separate from the body.  Why do people talk of one God and the next breath talk of Satan?  I think abortion depends on many factors and weights so that one law could not possibly cover all cases. What do you think about a world wide health care system that helped everyone. How would they resolve the "choice" issue?  Or trans-sex care?

Would people believe in a religion that had no heaven or afterlife? Would they be willing to die for it? 20 virgins

Hi Teri

These are my own thoughts and feelings and not necessarily anyone else's, maybe even no one else's.

To open the door to the imagination the portal to another existence where basically you are capable of also potentially opening doors into the many other metaverses. The starting point to the creative potential of where the thoughts in the mind can be converted into actual physical realities. Well realities as we interpret them in this reality which is all relative of what we perceive of this world as real. This universe is in actuality like a large Holodeck. A universal illusion that can be manipulated with the mind that with sufficient concentration, determination and believing in your potential capabilities in the manifestation of whatever your desire is.

Here is a small example that this world is an illusion. If you were to take ten people in a field standing in a circle examining the same flower. What do you think would be the result? The result would be that each individual would have a different concept of that same flower.

Ever get that feeling when you come to a certain place and you remember seeing something there but is not there now and just quite can't remember what it was?

One could also describe the Universe as as a photonic hologram because basically if one breaks down everything to it's tiniest particles, you will find that all is made of light, or photons.

The metaphysical grid, consisting of many electromagnetic fields, or matrix, well that's getting into another complete chapter of it's own to discuss at a later time.

Now this is as far as I can get with the universe being a hologram unless one feels the need  to get into the mathematical values and equations of quantum physics. The void the universe swirls about in, is what is called the grid or the fabric or the weave of a spiders web upon which the tapestry of the universe is woven. There is no evil or good in this grid or fabric of universe. All that is in the observable void is in universal balance and harmony. There is no evil or good, but there is yin and yang which is necessary in this reality as we know it in order to to create reality, and reality is dependant on time and space.

As to the result of good and evil is born in the hearts and minds  of this one green planets inhabitants named humans, and we humans, being free will agents, will decide or make the choice of whether this energy will be used  for evil or good. 

Quote(for example, the PTSD I've had to survive due to my own war, transsexualism).

Yes I am quite familiar with PTSD. Maybe doubly so then most cases. I have mentioned before about my being an empath. Briefly described here:

- Created 12/09/04
ARE YOU AN EMPATH OR TELEPATH ??

1- Are you extremely sensitive to the emotions and thoughts of others, often confusing the emotions of others with your own?

2- Are you an emotional sponge, soaking up the emotions of others, absorbing and dissipating the energy and problems of others, even at a distance.

3- Do you instinctively know when someone is lying or fibbing, almost always keeping your suspicions to yourself?

4- Do you tend to puts others at ease, allowing them to share their inner most feelings? Do you find yourself helping others, even casual strangers, understand the world and themselves better?

5- Periodically, do you need to take time out, where you can be alone to meditate, recharge and experience your own mind without the interference of others?

6- Have you known about your unique sensitivity since childhood? Have you struggled with a burden-of-perceptions that others did not share.

7- Do you sometimes use food, sex, drugs or solitude as a means of coping with you empathic or telepathic nature?

8- Do you have to a use masked personality to protect yourself from others, only sharing your true perceptions with those you trust most?

9- Do you have the ability to facilitate the process of rapid growth in those around you?

Now between thinking everyone else was like me and could read and feel my every thought and feelings along with having this obsession of wanting to be a girl to the point I thought I was being possessed by the devil himself, Dear God who could I dare speak about wanting to be a girl?  To who? Out there? This didn't leave much room for what little sanity I still retained to fit into my already overflowing basket of paranoia. All this trash, missinformation, that I accumulated and repressed deeply within that I hoped would never see daylight again. Fear? yes, quite frightened, petrified in fear thinking, "what if they can read my mind?" I hid away from people for many years, living like a hermit. So yes, I am aware of PTSD.

It only took my befriending of a very nice lady who happen to be the minister for the Anglican church where I frequented a drop in for street people which was located in the basement the church.. I from there I got connected with a shrink and not long after I began my journey towards becoming Cindy.

It's been a long road and certainly anything but easy but I can thank my Creator that I don't know how to say no or give up.   

Sincerely

Cynthia

I've again been gone for a week or so -- sorry for the slow response.

Lisagurl - I think you and I are in agreement.  Everyone has different needs, especially those in the minorities.  That is why I favor systems with individual choice...often one size or rule doesn't fit all.

Organized religion has always seemed to be to be a dubious thing.  Why would anyone would trust things written in a book so long ago when we can hardly trust things written today?  We are always discovering lies whether it be for god, kingdom, corporation or country.  The smartest are those who doubt "facts."

Cindy, your talk of controlling thinking, like in a Holodeck, reminds me of bio-feedback.  Often, what we consider to be "pain" can be "thought away" if we have proper mind control.  This capability makes one wonder what we could accomplish if we used a larger percentage of our brains.

The potential of humans, be it for good or bad, can be stunning or horrific.  Ken Burns' "The War" shows both of man's capabilities to be noble or unbelievably cruel.  I dread that the horrors of World War 2 might be minor compared to terrorists' capabilities to mass-murder with weapons of mass destruction.

Man can be so much more.

Hi Teri, nice to see you back again. You are quite right about what would happen if we were able to tap into the brain 100%? Well I guess we would become quite fully conscious of not only this dimension but all and any other around us. 

A portion of the Earth and mankind will perish in the next holocaust, but many will survive, we humans can be quite resilient and resourceful when it comes to surviving even through events of catastrophic proportions. When we become fully conscious there will be only one reality, for the simple reason is that we will know and be part of all dimensions within the One reality, the oneness within the One. Again this is about as far as I can go without consulting mathematical expressions, and there is also the fact that we have a shortage of adjectives which we are in dire need in order to go deeper down into the rabit hole.

Cindy

There is no doubt that people can have spiritual feelings. It takes a setup to encourage these feelings . Religion has many ways such as hymns traditions buildings that foster these feelings. Others use things like meditation and a sense of awe such as the vastness of space anything that lowers the sense of self. Spiritual feelings help most people live and foster a more pure way of living that encourages life. There are those who know these things the use the knowledge for selfish reasons. It never hurts to have reality checks to put it all in perspective.

Hi  Lisagurl
Yes of course, you are quite correct. Here is a post I submitted elsewhere a while ago that I think fits what we are discussing here quite well

Once the mind is opened to the infinite potentialities the awareness continues to grow. The, normal world will never seem quite the same, Like what appears to be a jumble of unrelated sequences that just do not appear to have any destination.  Do these knowings make one feel superior? No, quite contrary, it humbles the soul. It was these forces that lead me to and showed me who the true self within was.

To thine own self be true, then thou canst be false to no man.

Hi Teri Anne
I am just taking a chance you will revisit this thread. I wanted to tell you about 9-11, you are quite right, judging by how those buildings were built I was quite shocked and surprised to watch them coming all the way down to ground level in a mater of just a few seconds. I could see maybe some of the part above the damaged area coming down on top of where the planes had breached the buildings. But I find it hard to believe that the integrity of the entire buildings could have been weakened enough to rumple all the way to ground zero. I am no expert on this, but to me it smacked of a deliberate controlled building demolition.

But as for being prescient, for the last three days now I keep getting this mental image of a little girl sobbing sitting among some rubble with a piece of wall next to her is still standing intact. I noticed there was blood all over her and the poor thing had screamed till she couldn't any more. As I moved forward I could see this large wooden beam across her legs. Not being able to scream any more she began to bang her head on the partial wall that was still standing. It was so pathetic and I felt helpless to help her. I kept seeing this vision on and off for the last three days, I couldn't do anything to try to alleviate her pain, like a wounded animal in a trap. My soul mate took me out for a ride and some Tim Horton's coffee but I just couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

I sometimes I wish I didn't have this gift of visions or prescience. Their not always nice. I lived with that and my gender dysphoria for way to many year. Now the gender thing has been dealt with. Before this I was being whacked from two sides and both phenomena was enough for people to think I was weird or nuts. Oh ye I made a short visit a couple times to the bug house but they couldn't find anything wrong. I guess even though I am the lady I wanted to be now, I can let myself have the luxury of saying, "I sure proved to myself I had more guts then a six stomached cow from planet Zangi."  and the balls I had before the surgery. Can't say I don't have the survival instinct of a Martian cockroach.

Well at least I haven't lost my sense of humor.

Have a wonderful day girl friend.

QuoteI am no expert on this, but to me it smacked of a deliberate controlled building demolition.

You can engineer things to meet all expected conditions. It was never expected that that much energy form the burning jet fuel would happen creating temperatures that melt the steel. The same condition can happen when buildings are professionally imploded.

I don't believe in co-conspirator theories regarding the Twin Towers.  I've seen a few documentaries that talk of the melting steel which was subjected to far higher temperatures than any ordinary fire (and an ordinary fire, of course, would have triggered the sprinklers).  The foam sprayed on steel members can only do so much...

From about.com/architecture:

"1.  Most fires don't get hotter than 900 to 1,100 degrees F. The World Trade Center fire may have reached 1,300 or 1,400 degrees F. Structural steel does not easily melt, but it will lose about half its strength at 1,200 degrees F. The steel structure of the Twin Towers was weakened by the extreme heat. The steel also became distorted because the heat was not a uniform temperature.

2.  Most fires start in one area and then spread. The fire from the terrorist planes covered the area of an entire floor almost instantly. As the weakened floors began to collapse, they crashed into the floors below. With the weight of the plunging floors accelerating, the exterior walls buckled."

Cindy, I don't doubt that some people have negative visions but, as I mentioned earlier, why don't people have visions of good things (like which horse or stock to pick, lol)?  I suppose that a certain kind of energy may be released with negative things. 

I'm gonna start a new post and hopefully this one will die -- I think we might get more participation if I just call it "Science discussions" -- I'll put it under "General Discussions" (same location as this thread):

Susan's Place Transgender Forums > General Discussions > General discussions >

That way we can legitimately talk about a multitude of things rather than just "Big Bang Theory of Universe Creation/Destruction & Galileo."  See you, Cindy and Lisagurl, over at the "Science Discussions" thread!
