No confusion Exit0: I did say maybe not all. In your case, Bill Ryan was possibly just concerned with the volume of traffic involved. You make no suggestion that he was actually reading your stuff....
The endless controversy over private messages may have a simple explanation. PMs per se are off limits, yes, but member-to-member exchanges (Visitor messages) gathered up into conversations on a...
Well Aragorn, if you don’t see how my post is on topic regarding what motivates Bill Ryan, then let me spell it out. The idea of perceptions changing from a prison planet to a place of education...
If you see the elite as incorrigible, then the prison planet model would seem to apply best to the situation – provided one takes the analogy all the way. The deprivation of our freedom by this elite...
There is no relief from embarrassment by coming here. It is embarrassing to be human, which is merely to say one feels in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am content with the protection of...
I rarely visit this forum – my apologies, but I’m here now :) – I came, a week after the event, to find out why Aragorn left Avalon.
I see that forum as a local watering-hole. I go there because...
What is the relevance of the double-slit experiment to Virginia Woolf’s condition, namely that she experienced her ‘self’ as a series of unconnected selves, in other words as a string of distinct...
There is a fundamental ambiguity at the heart of the behaviour of quanta in the double-slit and subsequent experiments based on the Bell theorem. On the one hand, they demonstrate what David Peat...
You misunderstand me: I wasn't referring to Mr Pirsig. Never mind.
I come now to Virginia Woolf, featured in the final chapter of Jonah Lehrer’s book. She authored achingly beautiful books like To the Lighthouse or The Waves between bouts of depression. By the time...
Let’s start digging. Note, I am not expecting to be able to dig very deep. But then again, I am not trying to establish the ‘truth’ of our current reality. We may be talking about some ancient...
I don’t want Aragorn changing my tilt; we are all at 23° around here and it’s brought some nice autumn colours. :)
Same goes for my title; if he did that he might want to change your screen name too...
To give a better focus on the topic of this thread, it is the soul-brain/body interface, which is where so much of our trouble stems from. It has been shown that racism is very much lower in people...
This thread is the outcome of a moment of awful realization on October 12th while reading Don Wilson’s Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon: Is Our Nearest Neighbour in Space a Huge Alien Spacecraft?...
Hi guys, thanks for jumping in, I’m not used to it :) I was kind of expecting to open up a space in which to develop something of a monologue, which takes a little time. This thread is where it needs...
Together we make a difference
In this thread I want to explore the motto of this forum, not only in terms of the collective of which any forum is one embodiment, but also in terms of the...
This is the recording I heard several times over at the house of an opera/theatre buff in the early seventies. Angela Gheorghiu is the closest thing to Callas, and has sometimes been said to have...
Harley Davidson? No. I think it’s Harley Hawkins. Yet I recall BR recently (this year) describing the end of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance as something very special. I have not read the...
Bothness is duality. Duality gets a bad press, but those who place the emphasis on oneness are looking in the wrong direction. Unless they understand infinite oneness as actual multiplicity. What has...
It IS very sad, and the normal reaction is to want to help. But of course, it is a difficult thing to get through to anyone needing help, partly because they can’t trust you.
I don’t see...
