    Um, regardless of what experiments have been done, and what empirical evidence gathered, science is still a collection of descriptions put forth by humans. Belief in the descriptions is almost implied to the furtherance of the descriptions. Until someone comes up with a new description to believe in, like qm.

    Oh, such a big tough superior civilized country comparing itself to poor developing countries! The 'richest' country in the world and you managed to beat a country that can't afford drinking water for it's citizens.

    Congratulations! Give yourself a well deserved pat on the back and have a little more kool-aid.

    You'll find that thinking about spirituality usually triggers moral behaviour, e.g. Bahá'í , Yoga, Taichi, etc...

    Belief in anothers experiences can't compare to belief in your own experiences.

    Back in the day, some people used to have these things called Ideals. People would stand against affronts to these ideals, they would stand to uphold them, they would even die for them to hold back the ever encroaching 'evil'.

    That was back in the day. The modern world is what you get when people stopped believing.

    The biggest selling point of the US education system is that they get all the students to drink the kool-aid.

    um, you do know the US has pretty much stepped in at every opportunity right? Which is why the constant warfare.

    Perhaps actually doing a policemans job properly without an ulterior motive would make a difference?

    Don't you mean the US floated the idea to some cronies in power about creating an organization that could be used to benefit them and their allies while limiting their enemies influence all under the guise of a peaceful world organization?

    I guess you could resign, but then you couldn't use the UN as a bullying tool like it was meant to be.

    Do we let other countries tell us how to run our country? That answer would be no.

  13. Understanding something and attaining it are two different things. The gods are names given to sets of awareness that can be assembled or partaken in. Being Shiva is relatively easy compared to understanding Shiva.

    I advise against it if you have a comfortable life as a 'member' of 'society'.

  15. Perhaps it only exists in the person that sees it?

    What should I care which path or how far along some one is? All lead back to self.

  16. Shiva is an aspect of god that humanity is capable of attaining. The interesting thing about shiva is that pure awareness/consciousness has no ability to act.

    You can live your life playing in the darkness of shadows, or dance with the shadows coloured by the memory of reality when you paused to catch your breath.

    As long as your nadis are clean doesn't matter whether the energy used for the leap is internal or external.

    Shouldn't necessarily take years either if you have a structured approach. Logically, becoming familiar first with the disconnection of the mental system from the body during the hypnagogic phase of dreaming makes any further work infinitely easier.

    One must distinguish between the chattering of the machine and the observer.

    There are several yoga practices that involve introducing drugs and/or poison into the system to exercise ones control over both the computer and mechanical systems. Drink some alcohol and practice making yourself sober. The observer is always sober.

    Science knows that form follows function. The energetic patterns a system goes through in interacting with reality under the influence of gravity dictates the physical form of the entity. DNA is a genetic algorithm discovering the ideal balanced system for the 'desires' of humanity. The question is, what drives the 'desires' of a form. Is an empty energetic niche sufficient for an energetic system to evolve or is there also 'necesity' or 'desire' on the part of the original energetic impetus to fill that niche?

    Rightfully so, the answers/arguments you seek are only possible through your own effort. Yoga is built upon the fact that once the physical body and the mind are under complete control the distinction between self and vehicle is readily apparent and the real journey can begin. ...or you can remain complacent and allow time to do it's thing.

    p.s. if you think I write wierd you haven't read tesla! At least I try and communicate in easily recognizable paradigms.

    and how do you know this for sure? One drug induced experience doesn't make you an expert and your belief that it does makes you even less credible of a source. One could think of a number of experiments to test this, none which rely on a singular drug induced episode in an ignorant individual.

    Well, it's directly under human control. You can train yourself to recognize what arises from each hemisphere, recognize which is being more active and switch or synchronize. The explanations and techniques for doing this have been around for millenia.

    Reality is malleable. Everybody has a reality distortion/creation field that they project.

    Randi is an evil sorceror that wishes to keep the masses in ignorance of their power to influence reality and thereby increase the effectiveness of his own power. Manipulating reality through mass belief he's created a testing environment where the 'laws' of physics can't be bent. It's the equivalent of asking people to prove that a cell phone communicates with other phones but then puts them inside a faraday cage to test.

    With the beauty of symmetry, those who do not seek control over others realize no good would come of this revelation as the majority of humanity isn't ready for it (the majority of humanity can't even be trusted to feed themselves correctly), and so their action compliments that of the evil sorcerors who use ignorance to gain control.
