Thank you. We need to maintain some traditions around here.

I forgot that my mission in life was to entertain.  

If the royal family were to cut me off, I would be a silly chicken, indeed.  

I so much wanted to be the Second Coming of Jesus.  Oh, well, c’est la vie.

If I play my cards right, there might still be an open slot for a John the Baptist. All might not be lost........




(cont.......)

Haven't heard much about the concave earth hypothesis lately, Dan. I stumbled across the following passage (see below). The same reference discusses the "chip off the ole' monad" idea that you're fond of. Also touches on the hive in a way. Can you guess the reference? And can you guess who the "they" is?

"To their way of thinking, the universe consists of infinite rock which is broken by numerous hollow areas. In other words, the universe is like an infinite piece of swiss cheese--solid with many holes in it. The concave surfaces of the hollow areas are the surfaces of "planets", including earth. Humans are therefore not living on the outer surface of a round ball: they are being pushed by gravity against the inner surface of a hollow area....In this infinite swiss cheese universe of stone there are many fissures and cracks that allow travel between the hollow areas.

(same reference):

"It appears that individual spiritual beings are actually the units of awareness of a Primary, or Supreme, Being, yet each unit is possessed of its own self-awareness, personality, free will, independent thought, and creativity. This would mean that a Supreme Being had created, or had given "birth" to, an uncountable number of unique and individual units of awareness through which that Supreme Being could experience the uncountable infinities, universes, and realities which all of these could freely and independently create."

@awe,

The concave Earth hypothesis is still very much with us.  

The infinitude of the cosmos, in this vignette, does leave me rather cold, however.

We have been so mesmerized by infinity. That will a difficult conceptual barrier to transcend.

There is hardly a consideration for the monism of the Source. Otherwise, yes, it is an interesting stab in the dark.

Do tell us the source of the story, please.

.

The passages are from "Gods of Eden" by William Bramley. George Knapp mentioned a while back that he thought the book was a reasonable guestimate to "the situation" we find ourselves in so I thought I'd check it out. Shares some themes w/ Sitchin. Based on some of Tom Delonge's interviews pre-TTSA I'm guessing that Tom and his crew think something like this is what's going on. No wonder they want to start w/ razzle dazzle technology before they roll out their hypotheses about soul farms energy vampires etc. Gonna have to tippie-toe into them waters...

Great book, in the process of reading it right now actually!

God is a Psychic fact for a lot of people.

Ones’s conception of a creator or none is subjective and personal.

God might be transpersonal I gather.

I did not find God in my childhood religion.

I shared echoes of my experience beyond religion, I don’t have any beliefs to speak of left.

But one can develop a knowing of their life.

My experience I feel is based in the same psychic source as one who God is a psychic fact.

No one has to know how I experience being.

I have no opinion about the beliefs of others.

I apologize if I was negative toward anyone of faith, I was only teasing, still, apologies.

Peace.

Be more specific with Your accusations and be more careful .

herding seems a dishonest description.but that's not a surprise coming from you hobbit.

be more specific with your cautions, or piss off.

1,
You are inferring I an dishonest.
2,
Your offensive suggestion that I should "piss off" is a sad reflection on YOU.

I never lie, there is no point in lying to Myself.

I have no intention of going anywhere, however I will view anything You say with suspicion.

In order to avoid the glitches of an automatic roll over of the thread page numbering at p. 40, I am manually starting the new thread Immaterialism 5, at this point...... https://openmindsforum.forumotion.com/t349-immaterialism-5#22247


GC,

Easy does it, with your words of frustration.

Yes, I, too, have spoken words of frustration, but patience does continue to be of greatest value.

Let’s see if we can all turn over a new leaf, on Immaterialism 5.......
